HAW !!!!

HATE "white death"

But LOVE to read florid prose like that !!!!

good advice for sure, "Stay in and don't go out."

Yeah, Cindy is coming on over later today. She's trained in home health care and is a certified massage therapist too.

I think god got mad and broke my LEAD FOOT !!!!

The Mercedes is lowered, and impossible to lever out of with a full leg cast, so it's under a car cover in the garage and will be in storage till Valentine's day when I am supposed to be walking nrmay and unaided again.

The Grand Marquis is my taxi and ambulance, and since I can't bend down to get anything I dropped, in there, the floorboards make it look like 30 junkies - each with a DIFFERENT habit, lived in there for a month.

I NEVER thought that *I* would be driving it creeping along at 50 mph, as almost all Grand Marquis owners do...a walker in the back seat... a disabled parking hang tag on the mirror, like MOST Grand Marquis owners do, so I must have been psychic or something earlier this year when I got the car.

Before this happened to me, I had just put Mercury Marauder front and rear sway bars on it and had added a Crown Vic type Police Interceptor dual exhaust to it, and was thinking about adding a Police Interceptor MAF/airbox /ziptube and a 3.27 trac-loc rear end, for more speed, --- I had not meant it to be used like some old geriatric car this quickly.

Maybe the typical owners without broken legs stab the accellerator with their canes !!!!
