Shamgar, Lynora, it is so very difficult to convey, with just the written word, how deeply sorry I am over your loss. Please know that in my mind, I am giving you hugs and a shoulder. Daigle is spot on, you are both wonderful people, and such tragedy seems so unfair, especially to one so young as your son. I thank the Lord Lynora has you, Shamgar, to help her through this. Peace be with you my friends, soon I hope.
I twisted my ankle while running:(

Is it a minivan? I did one minivan 10 years ago where I had to I think winch the tire down from above; I think it was stowed up underneath the body of the van. What an asspain that was at 11:00 p.m.
I think that it is the same/similar arangement. I just can't seem to find the attachment from the inside of the van without tearing apart the van. I have friends that will know more than I apparently do whom I will ask to show me -- but at the time it was more than a little frustrating.
(And it rained last night so nothing is dry -- and I had to walk home in 12 feet of snow, uphill both ways and it was -25 degrees F... Feel sorry for me yet?)

Does the floorboard of the trunk space pop up? God this is difficult.
If I was there I could do half a chance do it for you.
It's probably really easy to do if you know what you are doing (which I apparently don't).
There was not an obvious place to pull the floorboard up in the back. I really think that it has to be there, but I didn't want to spend too long messing with it.

There is probably a small round plastic plug (about 2" wide)that either screws out or pops off that is built into the plastic molding where the bottom of the back hatch would meet the floor. Under that should be a large nut (no, not Heathy) or a screw that you use your tire iron/wrench to unscrew, lowering the tire on a cable. What is the Make/model/year of the vehicle? If that doesn't work I can figure out what is needed with that info.

Tearing a ligament in my knee, and possibly needing surgery, (sigh). Not bieng able to start back up in dance classes for the year.
Okay, as most of you know, I am a calm, rational person. I like peaceful things and happy endings. Unfortunatly, there is a certain time of year where I become a completely different person. I am unreasonable, loud, obnoxious and yes, even bloodthirsty. My thing in life that sucks? Living in the state of California during football season. No one to watch my team with me, if they're televised, which is practically never. No more hoppin a ferry every Sunday with my little brother with painted faces and big smiles. You'd think, with the big, wide internet, there would be a place I could go online to watch the game, but no...thankfully my sister bought me these tiny little nerf footballs to throw during times like this. Whew, I feel a little better now. (of course, I still don't know the @&#*! score)
Getting blue cheese on your salad when you're allergic to penicillin.

You have both? That's actually pretty rare, due to the differences in the strains, though I have heard reports of certain people getting hives following bouts of anaphylaxis to true penicillin. In my case, I think you could shorten this to "being within proximity of blue cheese." BLECH! ;)
(Posted with a tone of surprise, by the way; I'm not discounting any symptoms you might have, plus you probably want to be careful after surgery regardless - depends on the quality of the restaurant as well - quite a few blue cheese dressings don't actually contain any blue cheese)

Yikes! My youngest child is deathly allergic to penicillin, this is not something I thought of. Thank you Lilith!
Oh, and I would like to comment on my previous post. Due to mind altering medication forced upon me by physician and family, I went through the entire day thinking it was saturday, alas, if you could all just kindly not read it until tomorrow when I find my team is not being televised I would appreciate it, thank you. ;)
The mold strains for blue cheese/penicillin are slightly different, but close enough that I don't want to take any chances. I broke out in hives the last time I was given amoxicillin and was told to avoid it in the future. "Can you breathe okay? Because if you can't, you need to get to a hospital." O.o
Plus blue cheese is just...bleh. Moldy cheeses, even if they're not harmful are just...weird. The things some people eat...

The first and only time my daughter had penicillin she was two, she broke out into hives, then stopped breathing, I was very lucky that my best friend was actually with me when it happened, she's a doctor, an RT. Thank God she was there. She actually kicked the emergency room door open with her foot because she was holding my daughter in her arms and started shouting orders. It was like something out of the movies.

totally off topic, but....
I want to know who the first person to eat an artichoke was, and what was going through their head.
Also, I want to know who the person was who thought the hard, bitter fruit of the olive tree would be more edible and flavorful after being allowed to ferment slightly, then be packed in lye for a while, then washed, then soaked in brine.
I now refer you to my previous post. Not only do I not get to watch my team, but my brilliant cable company decided it didn't need to air a single game. Eight football games going on as I type this, and I don't get to watch any of them.

I'm ok with crazy people eating moldy cheese or bizarre fruits / vegetables, but who the heck was the first person who went, "Man, I'm thirsty...hey....cows have milk!"
Well combining the topic and mold ...
I just arrived in Washington and one of my roommates left some food in my fridge for at least a couple weeks.
$204.00 electric bill. ~sighs~ Damn hot summers with temps of over 95 degrees and very high humidity. Plus I need the AC on for my mutt, who is a cold weather dog. Luckly, the energy saving light bulbs have been helping out at least some.
New apartment management is raising the rent 30% to cover cosmetic "improvements," while allowing the infrastructure to decay. New paint but no running water is NOT a viable trade-off.
I drove my car in to a ditch, and totalled it :(
A twig or to of that 100 dollar tree sounds good to mee.

Especially since that was long before Louis Pasteur. Ew.
Being at a Burger King, trying to open one of those damn ketchup packages, resulting in squirting the stuff all over my shirt and trousers... As we were just returning from a LARP, I was coined the "ketchup Monster"... :-(
My girlfriend getting a work-related call today (sunday), giving her the info that somebody messed up badly, but she can´t do anything about it today anyway, so all it accomplished was ruining her mood...

I got locked in a trunk once, when I was in the tenth grade. Less' just say I have an 'intimate knowledge' of trunks.
Lemme guess...sneaking into a drive-in theater? LOL
Actually, it was hitching a ride to track practice with a fellow thrower (seven people, five seats--one was on the back dashboard, I was in the trunk). The driver, Shawn, kinda forgot about me for maybe fifteen minutes.
School starts up again tomorrow. I guess I'm ready to get back into a school routine, but on the other hand, summer is always so much fun. :(

Your friends truly love you.

Finally get the first session with a new gaming group, and they're cool besides. Put that under "Good Things." But the water STILL hasn't been turned back on, so I've got to troop them around the neighborhood in the 90+ degree heat to look for a public restroom. And that's just embarrassing.
One more crushing blow. I just got a call and the step-father who we just found out was terminally ill and was only going to live for 1-2 more years at most is going to die in the next few days. I'm not sure how much I can even emotionally handle at this point. Now to sort out the logistics for this one... *sigh*

That's MUCH worse than a lack of running water. I feel for you, Shamgar.

Aww, that´s horrible to hear... The only positive aspect to this is that you get the chance to say goodbye to him, unlike, say, in an accident. I feel with you.

That is truly saddening. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and wish you all the best.
well, visiting your kids sucks; not the being with them part; just everything else part.

I am so sorry about that, shamgar. You have my deepest simpathies.

I'm sorry to hear about it, man, and my thoughts are with you and yours during this troubled time. Hang in there, pal. Time heals all wounds.
Being an insomniac because of my Stupid 4pm to midnight shift. ~sighs~ I tend to do best if I am asleep before 11 pm. I am almost always wound up when I get home and I have a hard time getting to bed before 5 am, lately 6 to 7 am. Of course, I have to get up in less than 4 hours to deal with some important stuff. Groovy. ~sighs~ Time to try to get some sleep before I have to get up.
Eventually you'll learn to replace the word awake with caffeine, and the word asleep with benedryl.
well i might as well say it, my parents were arguing, then my sister got invovled and then after that my cat died:( Fighting still went on , but finally it now stopped and one of my sister won't taik to us anymore, and it was near my b-day, but i got over it now and just keep living on:)

Are you sure? ;)
Discovered today the cause of my recent headaches appears to be a nasty sinus infection. This would ordinarily be good news of a sort, except for the fact that I found this out due to everything sweet tasting HORRIBLE (discovered this during my butterfinger / diet coke breakfast :( ). Oh Lord, so awful. Even brushing my teeth tastes bad. Finally had to run to the truck stop Arby's I was so hungry (I tend to avoid it because I’ve been told I’m…”pretty”). Curly fries ok, arbywich ok, ketchup bad. Diet Coke out (Jeez, why not just tear out one of my eye's instead?), yogurt out.
So I'm sitting here drinking luke warm unsweetened Americano coffee (hint, it's godawful, but less horrid than the "bad" taste I get from sweet things) from the machine to get my caffeine fix (didn't feel like buying nodoz, couldn't find any penguin mints). Couldn't stomach any cough drops (TASTE BAD, gah), so I cobbled together a saline rinse (helped a smidgeon, but not with the taste). Oiy. Can't even quantify how instantly bad the taste is, and my doctor is all backed up for a solid month due to school physicals. Going to nuke my sinuses when I get home, full spread, hopefully I can get all the mucus to drain (now that sounds lovely, eh?) and take the bad taste with it.
Get a teapot with saline, stick it in your nose, tip it up and flush your sinuses out. Get ready to puke. God that's gross.
Broken toe.
Gibbled D&D minis that should have never been shipped.
Broken toe.
I did that once, rushing for the phone--was expecting a call for a phone interview. All of me made it through a doorway except my small toe. Suppressing screams, whimpers, and spasms, I dragged myself to the telephone, only to find it was a telemarketer.
I have no recollection of what I said at that point, but they never called back.
