to the bone for a week or two straight just to buy a freakin' purse! Maybe if I was a CEO or something, but not on my MT pay. Or maybe if I was an MTSO, LOL...

I have osteorthritis in my hands & fingers. - sm
Also getting it in hip. For the most part, I would say the pain has come on gradually, increasing in each joint over a period of a couple years. Only exception was my right thumb. It has severe OA, which gave me no trouble 'til one evening when I was at my mom's, I was bored, and I texted a bunch of emails to my friend on my cellphone. The next day my thumb ached like crazy. With rest it felt better, but never did go back to baseline.
The quality if the pain is usually not sharp, more like dull ache that varies in intensity. Occasionally, though, moving the affected part in the wrong way (especially turning my hip & thigh inward) can cause a sharper jolt.
Without x-rays & a doctor exam, you probably won't know for sure what it was. As the other poster said, there could be some kind of an acute injury, or even a muscle spasm. But then again, it's always possible there is arthritis in the hand that was quiescent until now.
Now that I know it's not an acute injury, I find heat and gentle stretching to be of help. Also NSAIDs for when it flares up. Most importantly, I keep the part moving. The hip bothers me when I run & do other vigorous exercise, but I find I can warm up, work through the pain, and it ultimately feels better afterward. WARM-UP is the key.
Same with the ouchy thumbs, especially when typing. I keep my workspace warm (I don't use (or even have) AC in hot weather). In cold weather I keep the room war and use typing-gloves.
I would keep an eye on the hand, try to take a few days off from typing, or anything else that makes it worse. Try researching the symptoms online, and if there's no improvement within a reasonable amount of time, since you're an MT and need your hands to make a living, I would self-refer to an orthopedist or a hand specialist. Still, try giving it some time & rest. It could be you were working really hard up to that point, and upon making a sudden, possibly slightly awkward movement while reaching for the cup, the muscles in your hand cramped up. I find that kind of pain to be worse than a fracture!
Take care!
Boys wrap their moms around their fingers too
Apparently you, for example......I know moms of boys and sometimes I think some of them are delusional about their *boys/men*.....I don't know - I surely just don't get it.....as much as I try to get it.....
They used to do that with extra fingers & toes on babies that

And yes, I could type minus first joints of fingers. It

yeah, why don't you just snap your fingers and magically make another job appear?

Nana - you are so funny! If only pigs had fingers!! I'm gonna have to try the Got2B shampoo (nm)

re: lunch while typing
Just FYI....NEVER try to eat ramen noodles while you are typing!!! Not a pretty site...LOLOLOL...just a thought to lighten the load!!! hehehehe
typing stand
Does anyone have any idea where you can find a typing stand like the ones we used for typing class? I'd like one with a ruler or something attached to keep my place on the document. I'm having a really hard time locating this item. Any clues? Thanks!
as i am typing, i bet it is getting deleted
I cant believe it has been on here this long! I am quite sure that it is going to go fast. By the way, look up the EU, European Union. Go to Google and Images and check out the building. In front of it is a statue of a woman riding a beast. Also, their seats for the congress/senate or whatever they are called are numbered, going up to 800 or something. all filled up with the persons name, except number 666 is empty.
I have had a drink while typing but ....sm
usually just one and I don't get drunk.
typing speed
Go to Google and type in typing speed. There are a bunch of things under google. You can take typing tests to see how many words per minute you are typing.

Please excuse the typing errors...
All I have heard today is "The patient had a giberishgiberish condition that includded gibberish, cough, hack, sneeze gibberish." You get the point.
what happens when you stay in typing mode
Had to share. Friend of mine has two sisters 1 with a 2y/o and a 5 mon. old and the other with a 1 y/o. First one thought she was pregnant again. Second is just a snooty lil'heifer. Anyway she was IMing me about an hour ago. We were talking about her new job and right out of the blue said..."brb phone". Then came back with "my flu infested sister calling to see what I got for VD".
I had a fit and said. "Serious VD? OMG your mom will die. Why drive 80 miles for some medicine, why not go to the doctor...I cannot believe she of all peope has revealed that information."
She cracked up and came back with
"No stupid...Valentines Day!"
Priceless... I would have never gotten Valentines Day from VD...Maybe VD on Valentines Day! Sometimes you've just got to give it a rest! Must get more sleep!
I also watch while typing or at least try to eat lunch then
I read that the audience will slowly find out who all is in the accident. Like yesterday just about Nick, Sharon, and Jack. I know Cane, Katherine, Lauren, Paul, and the lady cop (can't remember her name). also Victoria (we already know this), JT, and I suppose Adrain. What about Amber? Not sure about her. I think I saw her with blood on her in a preview.
Need a little YouTube break from typing? - sm
Then take a mini-tour of San Francisco, the way we skaters like to enjoy it!

I have bifocals for reading & typing, and although - sm
I'm perfectly fine driving without glasses, I have some driving glasses, which just makes it a little easier to read street signs from distance. It's to correct astigmatism. I could also have gotten trifocals, but someone I knew with them said he had them and never could get used to them. I also chose the bifocals with the line, rather than the lineless ones. There was supposedly a good reason, although I don't remember why!
Happy Birthday...keep on typing
I'm 72 and still typing..:-)
Can't afford to be hooked to anything, except typing right now!!!

Studies show typing doesn't cause it, but
the mouse isn't great for us. But you can protect your median nerve by using typing gloves like SoftFlex, which have little pads that protect the nerve when you rest the heel of your hands.
I'm concerned that you were typing & weren't watching your 6 yr old.
I got to get back to typing her but need special prayers
my DIL and grandson are in flight from Hawaii to LAX to be with her mother, his grandmother in the last few days of her life. Her name is Pat. She lives in Placentia. She is in the hospital right now but wants to come home when they get here. My son also in HI, scheduled to leave within 10-12 days to Iraq but he is having some medical issues. Please pray they will not be of a serious nature. Please pray, he is thinking his men will think he is faking this. It is just all the stress he is under....Thank you in advance
Hopefully you use an expander, and aren't typing it all from scratch? NM

grammar mistake above, typing while angry again!
Gotta learn to count to 10.
sorry, meant "PugmoM" - too early to be typing!

Help! Was typing along and hit something to make paragraph symbols appear all over document. nm

Yes!! I get extremely bored and have trouble staying focused on typing. sm
Some days I am so bored I dont know how I am going to get through the day!!
One time I was typing on a calm Sunday evening and my son came into the room...
said, "I told you we should buy me a new bike," and I looked up at him and his arm was all bloody and his left flank and hip were all bloody and grungy, I shot off an e-mail to whoever was there on Sunday night and took him to the ER with a broken arm. Bike was also unrepairable. By the way, I offered to buy him a new bike not too many days prior to this incident and he said he didn't need one.
Made belgian pancakes & maple syrup for breakfast, then typing for

You have got to be kidding!
I had not known of this. Thank you for sharing this information. Good to know!
You are kidding, right?
They are talking and you have a problem with this? Geeze. I think it shows a real maturity to maintain a friendship with an ex-spouse especially with no kids involved. Now if they are having a 'relationship' that is very different but that is not what you said. Apparently you are not big on forgiveness and real big on control and jealously.
No kidding- at least now
more people are seeing that. For the last several years this administration has reminded me of the story "The Emperor Has No Clothes" where the problem has been obvious but nobody wanted admit it. Now all the politicians are falling over themselves explaining how they were "always against the war" but they just never said so before now. Yeah, right.
actually, kidding or not, you are more right than you think..sm
deep pocket sheets are very expensive, between 200 and 300 dollars, and you still have to be careful about how deep the pockets are...they still might not be big enough. but for a couple more inches, they cost a whole lot more!

How does this woman stay in business?? If it were me, I would go back there one more time, to make it clear that she would never see a dime of my money, and exactly why. Perhaps her attitude works in her country or culture, whatever it is, but if she wants to sell to Americans she needs a major attitude adjustment. IMO, the only people who would buy from her are a) masochists or b) arrogant insecure people like her.
You are just kidding yourself
Let me tell you what could happen. You said not cheating, did he confess the other time while cheating or afterwards? Probably not while it was going on. A mother should be happy with herself first. Why be miserable so the kids would be happy?? They will grow up, leave 1 day and then what do you have? Still unhappiness because you might allow him to stay but then again if he is saying not loving you anymore, I doubt very seriously he is planning on staying, probably trying to cushion the blow some. If the kids mother is not happy, your kids are probably going to know that and that can cause problems there.
OMG - are you kidding?
Better check out CNN.
You are kidding me??? OF COURSE I will try it! sm
I was just thinking while putting on the mineral stuff when MK would come out with something because I'm sure they are "losing" customers (I'm not saying all) to the mineral make up wearers.
Of course, I am concerned now for the content in the makeup since Purity states they don't use talc, oils, etc. That will be my ultimate deciding factor. Thank you for this info, though!
No kidding!!!
I came on here today, and it was still the same topic! It's just taking over this entire page! We need some new topics on here!
Are you kidding me?
If Cuba is so wonderful, why do people die trying to get out? But I'll be glad to buy your boat ticket if you really want to go live there. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
are you kidding!!!!!
It most certainly can help a whole lot. Do you know how many people have no idea where pet store puppies come from. A whole whole bunch. If the word and pictures of this abuse is put out there by a mass publicity machine such as Oprah, hopefully the demand will go down and the supply will also. Oprah herself said she will never ever get another dog unless it is from the shelter herself and how this report has changed her views, so apparently she had no idea of this horrible industry too.
You have to be kidding me! sm
You must not have any children at all. Quick to sue? It's been over 2 months. I really don't care what other people think of me. My only concern is my daughter. You don't see the terror in her eyes everytime she sees a dog. You weren't here when she woke up from nightmares.
You're pathetic!
Are you kidding me.......
We have Guitar Hero I, II, III, and the 80's one. LOL! I even have my own guitar that I decorated for ME. Seriously considering getting my stepson Rock Band for his Wii. I'm 28 years old and I love that stuff. I don't play it much because I'm really busy, but I do sneak down to the basement to play from time to time.
You have got to be kidding.
I would eat in my car in the parkinglot before paying to eat inside a fast food restaurant. Part of their appeal is that it is cheap and I don't have to tip otherwise I might as well go to a regular restaurant. Wonder what they could do if you order at the register, say its "to go" and then change your mind and eat inside.
You must be kidding
Love tap?? Pain is pain and No means No, matter who is doing it. If the girl has already forgotten about it, then she is on her way to being a psychopath. I doubt very much the boy has forgotten, what with his throbbing arm.
Forgiving the little girl "as a Catholic" (guilt-wielding psychobabble aside), is absolutely beside the point. This is a 6-year old who is obviously not yet acquainted with the concept of right versus wrong & who is having some pretty serious control issues. It is the parents' responsibility to make sure she gets a VERY clear lesson about this VERY soon, and the teacher's responsibility to enforce this in the classroom. "Second chance" indeed. It would be absolutely irresponsible to "give her a second chance" without first making absolutely certain she knows what she did, knows why it was wrong, feels remorse, will never do it again, and expresses all of the above to everyone involved.
Good grief. Enough of that Berkeley crapola.
You have got to be kidding!...sm
How in the world do you fall in and not be able to get out. I mean couldn't you open it from the inside? I don't get it.
lol no kidding.
I think Paula Dean would love this recipe! :)
She did something similar a short time ago but used egg noodles in place of the hashbrowns and added spinach and chicken. Not sure exactly the recipe but it sounds like basically the same thing. I remember it looked really yummy.
