20256. judithathome - 9/23/2006 6:06:18 PM Magos, I think you mean 20249 instead of 50.
And I don't know what she said but I trust your judgement. 20257. arkymalarky - 9/23/2006 8:07:44 PM I checked the Moderator's email, but it's strictly up to Mags as threadhost what to do with posts, and we're not going to interject one way or another unless someone is being compromised irl or threeatened. A lot of Moties prefer moving to deleting, but it's up to the thread host.
20258. arkymalarky - 9/23/2006 8:10:50 PM Only threadhosts, moderators, and forum operators have the ability to delete posts. I don't know what happened to 20249. 20259. Magoseph - 9/23/2006 10:06:02 PM A lot of Moties prefer moving to deleting, but it's up to the thread host.
The reason why I didn't move Ulgine’s posts in the Inferno is because there was the possibility that the posts might be brought to the attention of the ex-Motie. 20260. arkymalarky - 9/23/2006 10:29:39 PM It really doesn't matter either way as far as the ROE or FAQ are concerned. It's just whatever you think best as the threadhost. Deletion is fine. 20261. arkymalarky - 9/23/2006 10:30:25 PM We've really been getting the weather here the last couple of days (we needed the rain), but I think it's finally about to get by us. 20262. Jenerator - 9/24/2006 5:11:12 AM Have there been any webfeet sightings? 20263. Ms. No - 9/24/2006 8:44:13 AM Ran into a friend from college I hadn't seen in nearly 12 years --- what a blast. She was singing in the lounge of the boat where I'm working in the theater. Caught a whole set and was thrilled to hear her sing again --- she's got pipes like you wouldn't believe. We sat and chatted for nearly an hour before they kicked us out to close things up.
Have I mentioned how much I'm fucking LOVING being back in Sacramento? There's stress and uncertainty but I'm surrounded by things that give me comfort and also energize me and I'm back in the bosom of my dearest friends.
Hooked up with the Sacramento Leatherworkers Guild this morning purely by chance so I now have people to inspire and teach and encourage me in my leather projects as well.
I was flat on my back for nearly 9 days with a facette joint issue but I've found a wonderful chiropractor and am now walking, sitting, sleeping etc. without pain again.
We find out the sex of the new baby on Monday so I'm waiting for that call from the Brother.
Life is very, very good. ;-> 20264. alistairConnor - 9/24/2006 10:15:08 AM What the heck is a facette joint? Sounds painful. 20265. arkymalarky - 9/24/2006 4:05:58 PM I am SOOOO HAPPY for you NO!!! Sounds like you're having some great times. 20266. Magoseph - 9/24/2006 8:10:30 PM Have there been any webfeet sightings?
Yes, Jen, here: Message # 4206 in thread 149 20267. judithathome - 9/24/2006 9:26:12 PM I mailed a letter off to our mayor on Monday about the way people speed recklessly on my street...the street is a circle and people drive like bats out of hell down it and hit the blind curve going very fast.
Arrived home last night from the play and dinner out to hear from the neighbors that a child riding his bicycle had been hit by a car which didn't even stop. Luckily, someone got the car tag number.
Haven't heard anything yet about the condition of the child but he was taken away by an ambulance. 20268. Jenerator - 9/25/2006 3:51:48 AM That's awful, Judith.
Did you know that getting speed bumps in a neighborhood is a major ordeal? I contacted the city about having them put in by our house (we live in in a cul de sac, but the street in front is an occasional speed zone) and I was told that I would have to talk to all of my neighbors and have them sign a petition (?) and then *we* would have to pay for the speed bumps - roughly $2,000 a piece! 20269. Jenerator - 9/25/2006 3:52:22 AM Thank you Magoseph - Webfeet is a delight! 20270. Ms. No - 9/25/2006 4:06:25 AM Alistair,
The facette joint is on either side of the vertebra in the lower back ---- I don't know if it's called a facette joint on every vertebra in the spine. The doc only showed me a piece of a spine, it's formed by the little prongs on either side of the vertebrae where they overlap. There are nerves in those little gaps and if the joint is out of alignment, it pinches the nerve so the rest of the muscles spaz out trying to hold everything still so you don't touch the nerve and you get these horrible "guardian" responses if you endanger the tender bits. Of course the guardian responses hurt like hell but they're a warning not to move however it was that you were attempting to move.
And yes, it's excruciating, the worst pain I'd ever experienced in my life and of course when it isn't spiking it's throbbing and achey so you get fatigued from the constant mid-level pain and nothing is comfortable although walking is easiest. Sitting, standing and lying down are all hellish.
But I've lived a relatively pain-free life. I cracked a collarbone when I was a child, have sprained both my ankles and torn muscles but never broken anything. I did have gall stones for a couple of years and then surgery for it. Up until this I suppose migraines have been the worst of it other than a few gall stone episodes and they kind of tie each other. This was far and away the absolutely worst and I am saying hourly blessings for my chiropractor.
My brother and I affectionately refer to chiropractors as witch doctors. You go in, they don't cut you open, just put you in a weird position and then lean on you and magically your pain is better. I always look for the chiken and goat sacrifices but I haven't seen any yet.
20271. Jenerator - 9/25/2006 4:14:04 AM I've had 16 facette injections. They've helped a great deal, Ms. No. Good luck - back problems are challenging. I hope you feel better soon. 20272. judithathome - 9/25/2006 5:37:31 AM Jen, that's the beauty of living in a small, incorporated village...not that much red tape in a burg of only 2,300 residents.
I don't expect speed humps but I do expect a sign reading Slow, Children At Play. And I also expect the police to drive around the area a little more than they do now. Village ordinances already state that the speed limit is 20 mph on residential streets within the village limits and I want that enforced on this one. Sad to say, I think this accident may cause them to listen a little more seriously now. 20273. Jenerator - 9/25/2006 12:25:41 PM If speed bumps are the answer, though, be prepared to pony up the money! And everyone whose property they're in front of us must approve.
I hope the kid is okay.(?) 20274. Magoseph - 9/25/2006 2:33:05 PM Hello, everyone,
Flexy succeeded to have two signs put near our house this summer—he saw a group of workers taking down trees and bushes along the road that blocked drivers’ view and he just explained why he wanted the signs. To his happy surprise, they were there a few days later. The area has a lot of new people paying high taxes the last few years and Flexy presumes the township likes the new revenues and want no complaints. 20275. RickNelson - 9/25/2006 2:39:32 PM I'm also getting worried on my once quiet street. It's only two blocks long and has long been quiet. The past few years has seen an upsurge of traffic due to a small office building built at the start of our street and other businesses the next street over. We knew this street abutts the smallest business district of our city, but didn't expect this much traffic, as it never had been like this. All of a sudden we have homes with three renters inside, each with a car, and others who have no interest in keeping our neighborhood safe and clean.
Now more time needs to be spent, that I don't have, in order to start getting a stop sign at our one NO SIGNAGE intersection. Yuh wonder why it never got a yield at a minimum, but it has cars being outrageously dangerous on a non-stop basis.
Secretly I want one of them to have a huge crash. Then the city might pay attention and I wouldn't have to waste all my time.
