Broken Ankle

Quite often a severe ankle sprain is more painful and takes much longer to heal then most fractures. My cast came off Monday morning and I was walking around the house that night with the aid of a cane. I can now walk around the house without the cane. When I go outside I put the "walking boot" on for additional support and use a cane.

Starting to dislike the forum? I've found that happens when people spout crap, contradict themselves, and get called on it by the members. They start disliking the forum, go figure.... well don't let the door slam you in the *** on the way out, you might have to immobilize it and stay off it for months

If you are going to be an active member of this forum you have got to have a tough hide! If you are tender skinned then you are going to get your feeling hurt. Most of us are not intellectuals. We range from barely able to read & write rednecks to Remy. With some of us the filter between what pops into our mind and what comes out on the key board is broken.

edit to include a quote from one of TrapperRicks post

If I weren't tough enough to take a little ribbing I certainly wouldn't be tough enough to live in Alaska.

On the contrary TR, I rather like most of the Americans and think that I get along quite well with most of the people here. I just happen to think you're a jacka$$, you don't have to try to lump 300 million of your countrymen in to that for a sympathy ploy against most Canadians or whatever. Nor do I ever profess to speak for anyone but myself. Being unarmed in a war of wits against you? Well, that would probably because I've assessed your capabilities and wouldn't feel any need to be armed in a war of wits against you. You contradicted yourself within the thread, I saw it and called you on it, don't like it? well, jeepers pumpkin, here's a kleenex, don't blow too hard, you've only got so many brain cells.

No wonder Canadians are called "Eh Holes"

Ya know....I was kind of trying to help you and provide you with some serious replies.....until this post. From one American of Canadian ancestry to another American - good luck with what you seek.

Sorry, kids. No good can come of this. Let's call it even and move forward or I'll have to close the thread.

**trax** · 10-09-2008, 03:50 PM

Well Rick, there may be some wisdom in what you say. Looks like this hombre's too tough for me to tangle with, apparently he cut his hand once too, so I best not be messing with that guy! I'll just you know ....scurry back into my little Canajun cave here and mind my manners now. Thanks for sorting us out. Did you unlock Bragg's thread by the way?

**chiye tanka** · 10-09-2008, 03:55 PM

TR, this thread is about klkak's ankle, not your ego. YOU have attacked everyone who does not share your opinion. The fact that you've hijacked this thread is bad enough, but you don't seem to know when to shut up.

**Rick** · 10-09-2008, 04:31 PM

Stop!! Let it go. Points have been made.

That was as nice as I get pumpkin, did you unlock Bragg's thread yet?

**Rick** · 10-09-2008, 04:35 PM

I didn't lock it. I don't have the key.....pumpkin.

Darn, there you were being my chief suspect. OK, all you forum owners and moderators up against the wall! We'll get to the bottom of this!

**Ole WV Coot** · 10-09-2008, 04:45 PM

You mean to tell me all my scar and boo boo counting was a waste of time??? I wanted to prove I was as clumsy as everyone else and you made me lose count and ruined it. I was almost finished with my tummy splinter count from the last pole I burned
I WANT ALL MY POINTS, NOW ! ! !

Sorry Rick, I was in the middle of typing that when you asked for the cease fire. ( I type REAL slow)

**klkak** · 10-09-2008, 05:06 PM

Alright Coot, go into the bathroom. Get a flashlight and magnifying glass and........Oops, never mind I just remembered there are impressionable young minds lurking around here.

Trax, I like you in spite of your Canadianism or was that because of?

I don't remember. Anyway, I like you.

**Rick** · 10-09-2008, 05:50 PM

Coot. Take your 9 inch Kleins and pull those splinters out. A real man would do it himself. A whimp would have the head lineman do it. A splash of clear ...er..a... water and you'll be good to go.

I only burned one. A railroad pole. Cut back in about 6 feet up. Only one splinter. It was about 18 inches long and shoved into my right bicep. Fortunately, chicks dig scars.

Pop: No worries, everyone knows you're the toughest man on earth

TR: I actually admired that you managed that whole shoot down on Canadians without once calling me a communist, based on my previous experience here with fellas from Georgia!

Rick: You have 9 inch Kleins? Wow, they told me size didn't matter

klkak: It's traxistanian partner, but thanks I know what you meant
