  1. Nice Work! Looks to my like she had a bump in with Gina Carano! http://mmajunkie.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/02/070209carano.jpg just curious, how long did that chop take you?
  2. well, you could always drop something heavy on your other foot then you won't be favoring one side and you can make use of you existing boots
  3. if your insurance has a nurses line, I would suggest calling them for advice, they'll probably just tell you to ice it, keep it elevated, etc... but you never know. you might be better off ($$$ wise) checking these out on ebay then going through a medical site. http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?from=R40&_trksid=m37&satitle=walking+cast&category0=
  4. when I was in boot camp for the army I had a 80mm mortar plate dropped on my foot and broke the first three metatarsal bones in my right foot. Went to the doc and they told me if they put a cast on it, I would be mowing lawns in a walking cast for the next 6 weeks before they could release me. I signed a waiver as there was no way in hell I was staying in that miseral place a minute longer than I had too, went out and bought a formal shoe three sizes larger then my normal size so I could graduate boot camp and go home before my permanent duty station. If I recall correctly It hurt to run, walk, limp for th next three months but everything has seemed to heal fine.
  5. If you can't tell I am emotionally invested in this, so lets stay on the ADHD vs Autism point. Is it possible that th overdiagnosed patients helped those that actually now have medications to help moderate the effects of ADHD, simply do to the huge amount of awareness of the disease that was created as a result of the over diagnosed? I would say it probably did. Now some one makes a post about how it upsets them that there has been an increase in diagnoses of Autism and all the "panic" associated with it. There is NO treatment for Autism that has been found to work, period. Give me all the Fucking panic in the world over it if it helps find some treatments, or possibly even a Cure. Why it upsets the OP enough to title a thread "Autism Real or redefined" make this statement as the first sentence "I've had it up to my eyeballs on this panic over autism" then make these statements Is complete beyond me!
  6. I don't. I have ADHD - a pretty severe case of it, and I don't find it appalling at all. A person with ADHD might find your characterization disgusting. I think that's what Katzeye is saying. Funding for it, obviously, would have a greater impact. The more funding there is to identify autism, the more autism you'll find. I do not find her post to be derogatory. This is what I find to be derogatory in her post. "now it's Autism, cuz my kid is "special" " I didn't characterize ADHD in my post, I said that comparing them is disgusting. while you as a person have to deal with ADHD you are a functioning member of society, in fact your quite an intelligent fellow. Now compare that to anyone with a mild or severe case of Autism and cannot be a functioning member of society and are dependent upon their loved ones to take care of them for the rest of their lives. Trivializing something with at statement like the one the OP did, pisses me off. I have no intention debating the merits of the original SFGATE article, or the content of the first post other then displaying my disgust with the trivialization of Autism.
  7. I have no idea what type of person you are, however your post bothers me. Growing up with a brother that has a severe case of Autism, which was most likely exasperated due to the fact that research about autism was horrible and cases were rarely diagnosed appropriately at the time the increase in current diagnoses is mostly due to the fact that we are still learning what the signs of it are. My brother was the most adorable cute looking baby boy, he smiled all the time. When things digressed and Doctors couldn't diagnose him he was put on all kinds of different medications, which in my opinion did nothing but further slow his development down. Today he is over 30 years old, he has never spoken a word his entire life, he has to be fed, changed, clothed, etc... To compare Autism to ADD or ADHD in the same breath is disgusting, they aren't even close to being similar disorders and to sit in your high and mighty fucking chair, dismissing the rates of diagnoses increasing is FUCKING PATHETIC. the more cases that are diagnosed, the more we learn about it, and the closer we can get to finding a cause, and possible cure for it.

    UFC 80

    Yep, the mat can be slick if you have completely dry feet. I was very pleased with the event, more KO's than any other card last year and some pretty exciting fights. Davis has some BOMBS in his gloves. Grove looked horrible. GG, just can't beat Werdum... Joe was outclassed from beginning to end regardless of the cut. I give him tons of credit for giving it his all but right now there's no way he matches up with Penns skillset.

  11. I may not have been a constant or prolific poster for a while but I have been around long enough to realize when you are full of scheisse. come on admit it, you have an interest other then Schadenfreude in him, deep down I think you do... maybe it's Angstlust, no?
  12. I'm definitely NOT a teenager, but none the less I thought the ad was pretty funny. Will it get me to consider supporting Huckabee more than I already have, NO... but who doesn't need some entertainment once and a while...
  13. But, why waste your time watching a "nutcase" edit: just for those without the background of another thread ( I am being sarcastic)....
  14. So, does your poll have something to do with another thread sitting in SC about lagging polls? just curious... I have both.
