Looking for the source of my knee pain. Initial doc thought it was meniscus. Physical Therapist thinks it's an injury to the iliotibial band. PT directed at the IT band didn't work, so the doctor sent me to the Ortho, who seems to agree with the PT but has ordered an MRI since therapy didn't help. It may be more therapy that gets ordered.

I hate that damned roller thingy.

I assume you tried rubbing some dirt on it. :D

Good luck.

A day that shall live in infamy?

Sorry but if this is an attempt at a joke, it's a very bad one, as my maternal grandfather was there at Hickam Field that morning.

As I see it, Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day (December 7), & Patriot Day (Spt. 11) need to be made Federal Holidays in place of MLK Day & Labor Day. Or instead of MLK Day, have it be called Civil Rights Day.

"Mr. Vice President, Mr. Speaker, members of the Senate and the House of Representatives: Yesterday, December 7th, 1941 — a date which will live in infamy — the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan."

I disagree almost entirely. Sure, change MLK day to Civil Rights Day. It's an ideal worth celebrating, but hardly achieved. As for labor day, don't be dissing on the working man. We're what makes this country work, not the pathatic yahoos we send to Washington.

OTOH, I have no desire to celebrate those events that sent us headlong into two major wars. Though, we ought to pause and remember those who perished on both days. But when it comes to celebrating a national holiday, I feel it is more appropriate to celebrate those who fought and died (Memorial Day) and the end of hostilities (Veterans Day).

As for my "very bad" joke, I was merely implying that your return to your duties at the score table would be "a day that shall live in infamy". If you feel the overpowering need to infer some kind of slight to your grandfather, well I guess you'll need to figure out how to deal with that.

chseagle Tue Nov 09, 2010 02:53pm

So even though it was the Unions that started Labor Day, it should still be celebrated? So we should be celebrating those that get overworked but underpaid?

When I am saying make both Patriot Day & Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day into national holidays, I am meaning to remember those that lost their lives & as a reminder not to make the same mistakes over again. Concerning MLK Day into Civil Rights Day, we should be celebrating the ideals & philosophy, not one man.

Why we're at it creating holidays, why not make a Sport Officials' Appreciation Day? Since there's days for teachers, secretaries, etc.

Concerning my returning to working the table, I have been doing more studying this year concerning rules/regulations & have been attending meetings of one of the local officials' associations.

LMAO Touche

What I am meaning is that people should be getting paid what they're worth, not working their life away while earning pennies on the dollar.

This has gotten political now, so I respectfully request you stop; or else I might be too tempted to jump in and ruin my reputation (whatever it is).

I've always thought that the third Monday of every month should be a holiday and we'd celebrate "all" events for that month on that day.

Don't want to celebrate labor day? Don't. Celebrate "autumnal equinox day" instead.

It will never happen, of course.

Tried just walking it off for about 6 months; until one morning I couldn't stand on it at all while on vacation.
