Thanks everybody!

My years of hard work and service are finally paying off! I'm being promoted to Chief Angiography/Special Procedures Technologist at my hospital! More responsibility, more fun, more interest and more money for me and my wife! Woo Hoo! I'm a tiny bit nervous, but overwhelmingly excited!

Good luck, Doc!

"I don't know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve." --Bilbo Baggins "Ho! Ho! Ho! to the bottle I go" -- Frodo Baggins(I've repeated this one too many times myself) "Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends." --Gandalf the Grey "Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens." -- Gimli, Son of Glóin (Yeah, I'm a LotR fanboy. The above quotes are from Tolkien's writings, not the movies). "Why certainly I'd like to have that fellow who hits a home run every time at bat, who strikes out every opposing batter when he's pitching, who throws strikes to any base or the plate when he's playing outfield and who's always thinking about two innings ahead just what he'll do to baffle the other team. Any manager would want a guy like that playing for him. The only trouble is to get him to put down his cup of beer and come down out of the stands and do those things." -- Manager Danny Murtaugh "You can't sit on a lead and run a few plays into the line and just kill the clock. You've got to throw the ball over the goddamn plate and give the other man his chance. That's why baseball is the greatest game of them all." -- Earl Weaver "People ask me what I do in winter when there's no baseball. I'll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring." -- Rogers Hornsby, Hall of Famer "Baseball is a game where a curve is an optical illusion, a screwball can be a pitch or a person, stealing is legal and you can spit anywhere you like except in the umpire's eye or on the ball." -- Jim Murray The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It's been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt, and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game, is a part of our past, Ray. It reminds us of all that once was good, and that could be again. Oh people will come, Ray. People will most definitely come. -- James Earl Jones as Terence Mann, in Field of Dreams (I'm obviously a big baseball fan too) "Thanks (sincerely) to Michael Moore, Bruce Springsteen and P. Diddy for helping to re-elect George W. Bush to 4 more years in the White House." -- internet blog "If your hand goes forth withhold your temper. If your temper goes forth withold your hand" -- Gichin Funakoshi

Uncle Bob, I agree. The boredom is the worst part.

You might want to "telegraph" a kick by bringing your knee up, but only as a deception to the punches that are coming.

Good job, great read!

Baldur's Gate II is the best RPG for the PC ever. If you want a martial-arts feel, play a Monk.

I've been doing pushups with my bad foot hooked over my good foot, and only the good foot on the ground. That seems to be helping, as well as the sit ups. Thanks for the advice everybody! BTW, I'm usually a pretty tough guy, and have broken toes before and still trained. This time, I actually broke the proximal phelange of my toe, which is very hard to do, rarely happens, and according to my doctor, is why it hurts so badly. Well, next appt. is Monday. Hopefully I'll be cleared to start training again!

Now we know why you're the member of the month! Thanks!

This sucks. Should be about 2-3 more weeks before I can get back to class. Sorry, just venting. I am trying to eat very healthy foods, but I still have the appetite I had when I hit the dojo/gym 5 days a week. Very frustrating.

:rolleyes: Thanks for the advice, please read thread before padding post count. sorry, just venting. I'm going stir crazy.

Nice site :bookmarks for friends:

Me too, I wish I could have checked it out.

Yeah, I'm sorry if I come off a bit pissy. I think this stuff is affecting my mood, and the landlord doesn't want to turn my heat on too high.

WTF? This thing is killing me! I broke the proximal phelange, which is not a common place at all to bust a toe dude. The orthopedist is considering surgery. Way to read the whole thread. Thanks anyway.

I know people who train with colds, but I personally hate doing it. I feel like crap, and the last thing I want to do is work hard and possibly get others sick. It's just like going in to work with a cold. Sure, it's admirable that you're so dedicated, but you're really doing more harm than good b/c you're going to give other people a cold.

Well this sucks. I broke my toe the Wednesday before the tournament, and missed the whole thing. At least I got off of work for 2 weeks and some Vicodins. thanks for all the advice anyway.

And now, the site is dead.

I'm just looking for a datebook here. I would like to spend less that $100, if possible. How about that Palm Zire? Any good? ON EDIT: http://www.palmone.com/us/support/zire/

I don't wear anything myself, but I had to buy a mouthguard for a tournament. It cost me 99 cents. It's not the most comfortable thing in the world, but I never imagined putting a piece of plastic into my mouth would be.

Thanks, kchenault

I'm only looking for a good palm pilot that won't break down on me. I do NOT need any special features like games, maps, ect. I only need it for a datebook/notekeeper. I don't need color, and I don't care if the thing is Windows based, or a Palm Pilot or whatever. Just something simple. TIA

"Living the Martial Way" is the best MA-related book I've ever read.

In a Maxim interview, she says she's been studying TKD for a long time. I can't give specifics, but I remember reading that.
