Lynn Joins the club

[Ron]

Yes, Lynn, like a good trooper has jined the walking wounded club here at RS. I just heard from her and she broke her arm while biking ( good job) Let sall send her positive thoughts and cheer!? She's DOing OK and will be ready for the snow but I am sure it's no picnic

[Glenn]

Yikes! Well, at least it has time to heal before the snow flies.

[midwif]

am lucky, only need a sling and will start PT next week.
the smallbone of lower arm is non displaced fracture near the head of the bone,so should heal quickly.
unfortunately, it is my rt. arm.

[Ron]

Can we have pictures?

Condolences Lynn.? First you can't run, next you can't bike, not much left to do .... and I've heard that all work and no play makes for a very dull day.

Sounds like isometric squats or something that keeps your skiing parts in shape even though you can't ride or do yoga.? What about a stationary bike or? Treadmill??  Resistance walking in deep water??

Hope you can still pull weeds and harvest the bounty of your garden left handed?

Gary, in your special style, could you find out what really happened with Lynn's injury.? Hard to believe that a pro bike rider like her just fell off her bike??? Must have been much more interesting events, something that strained and overloaded that right arm??? Or perhaps riding with fluid intake that interfered with bike riding balance??? She likes cosmopolitans!!? ?? A-Rod and Madonna walked by and she lost her focus??

[midwif]

I know from long ago and personal experience that drinking alcohol and biking DO NOT MIX!!!
Me no go there!!!

Well Jim, if you must know....some yahoo trying to ride without their hands lost control of their bike. The guy who was to the side and in front of me gained control of his bike while crossing in front of mine. My front tire had no-where to go and down I went. The other rider didn't even realize initially what he had caused!!!?

I jumped up pretty quick, but knew I was hurt right away. Just didn't realize it was my elbow. The hand and wrist bore the brunt.? Rode home the next few miles with one hand. Unable to put any pressure on the right arm. Swelling of the elbow joint and pain increased and I knew the next day that I probably had a break somewhere.?

AND, I just want you to know that celebrities are a dime a dozen in nyc. No gawking goes on here. Just a discreet glance.

[Gary]

Well gang...I have it by good authority that Lynn (also know as Cat Girl) had just slipped into her dynamic black tights, lathering her body just enough to slide her sinewy shape into the Kevlar tights. Unfortunately, our on the scene reporter was not able to get photos of this but has recently purchased a long range night vision camera and is committed to getting that shot.

In any event....our Cat Girl headed for the catmobile and with her usual prowess, stealth and cat like balance took her one handed leap into the drivers seat forgetting to completely remove the body lotion from her right hand. In mid-air, her right hand slid down the doorless vehicle landing totally on her right paw. While writhing with pain and not to be kept from her responsibilities, she headed out that evening and proceeded to single handedly apprehend 4 thieves, 6 thugs, and some pervert on 52nd Street who was trying to find his dream girl by attempting to fit a ski boot to her foot. (geez, only in New York)

After a long evening of trampling criminal mischief, she returned home to her Cat Den and hit the scratch pole and a bit of liquid cat nip to relax. After slithering out of her Cat suit and showering, she realized her right arm had grown to at least the size of Ron's damaged groin and decided that to be an efficient crime fighter, she needed to take some down time for repair.

For the sake of efficiency, the catmobile was delivered to the shop for hairball removal, the Cat suit is having some Kevlar and armament upgrades and the Cat cave is getting some much needed paint treatments.

Well there you have it....yes,...on good authority...the city suffers but our Cat Girl will be back better than ever!

****Mobile?? I think you have lost it my friend......

[Glenn]

*****Mobile

I LOL'd.? "Did he really type that? Or am I reading it wrong?"?

[midwif]

if i wasn't laughing so hard, i might have been offended.
Gary, have you considered psychological counseling? Maybe i can get you a referral.

Jim, you have been displaced as premier bull in the china shop. Gary has just broken WAY more tea cups than you ever did.

[Gary]

Why thank you Lynn....send pictures once your Cat Suit is back from Special Ops.

Now, the parent company I work for "The Naturally Inquisitive," has read my factual story and asked that I modify the word which describes our Cat Girls super hero vehicle. I have done so in an effort to diminish any sensitivity or connotations of this particular word.

If I have offended anyone, please......


Right!

G

PS I am currently in counseling and it's working!

[jim-ratliff]

PS I am currently in counseling and it's working!

Gary:?

It may require a vote of the members, but I don't beleive that chatting with your wife over the dinner table counts as being "in counseling" and chatting with us on this forum DEFINITELY doesn't count.
However, I am very glad to hear that your surgery now has you fully capable of schlepping all of the Midwif's luggage at Steamboat this year.
For once, I am VERY relieved to NOT be in first place in the "bull in the china shop" slipups.? Of course, I've still got 150+ days of "tongue management" in front of me.

And, by the way, I find your story much more believable than Midwif's claim that some Yahoo cut her off.? Obviously she has never heard of defensive driving or defensive biking.? You should never put yourself in a position where you don't have complete control of your vehicle.
Ohhhh, and was Ed successful in finding his dream girl on 52nd street??


Jim

[Gary]

First Jim..Ed's still looking and fitting and has no police record to date.

and the rest.....well....I do relinquish the first place position to you without hesitation....plent y of critics here so dam it Jim...get busy.

Now and finally, as I do a plenty of bike riding,,,Lynn..rule of thumb...if someone is dumb enough to fall in front of you, stand on the peddles, place your derriere to the rear of the bike, use your legs as shock absorbers and run over the SOB.....now there may have been extenuating circumstances (drinking) where your cat like superhero reflexes failed to achieve maximum lift or performance, but never the less....practice, practice, practice.

Same principal applies in skiing, so Jim...Never poach Cat Girls line!

Best to all,

Gary

Lynn....hope your right hand and arm are back soon......kinda hard slipping into your Superhero Cat Girl suit with one hand.

[midwif]

Hey Guys
With a bit of assistance from our global moderator, the word that **** all the pretty tea cups in the china shop has been starred and or changed a bit.
Thanks for your understanding.

[Ron]

I hate to defend my friend but I feel the need, Gary didn't intend his little "word" as maybe it appeared. He can be a llittle niave sometimes because he has no intention of hurting or offending anyone and in this case, he really didn't think of the word in that context. I called him and asked "dude, what were you thinking? You can't say that!" He said, it's just like James Bond,,,,,. Not that it's not funny though! Now then, how many bags does he need to carry for this one? I am thinking maybe in addition to the carrying of luggage, he may need to clean Lynn's condo a couple of times.... (with or without coffee grounds)
