Yes, yes you do. You've been doing this for the past two days now.

I hope you're amused. I'm not. You're clearly forlorn. You keep mentioning how TM hurt your feelings, which is kind of like blaming the rake for hurting your face when you step on it. Your festiveness has been admitted and documented.

I'm sure people talk to you every day. That has no bearing on whether you're attractive or neurotic. If no one spoke to neurotic people in TCOTU, then it would be a lot quieter there.

You're a sad, sad girl.

No thanks. I don't like straws. Why do they give them when you order drinks at bars?

And I don't like you ppnyc. You're annoying, and you add nothing to this board. Please go away.

And before you flip out, realize that I've been on these board for 8 years (Gah!) and I've never asked anyone to go away IIRC.

I've been here for 5. and quite frankly you ain't it why I am here.

Because it would be impossible for you to be mistaken for something that you are. For example, it is possible for someone to mistake you for pretty, but not possible for someone to mistake you for stupid.

He was already an idiot with the first claim. If they're all 7s, presumably that's because they all look alike, right? The second assertion makes him a gay (duh).

I thought it was an interesting, but flawed theory. What would college be without interesting but flawed theories? Hell, I was a social studies major, that was my bread and butter. I know there were plenty of white guys at my college with an Asian fetish (which I don't think he had, NTTAWT).

Nowadays, he confines himself to dating Mexican women. He finds being a white guy who speaks Spanish gives him a leg up. Plus, much like in the movie Barcelona, his girlfriends are more likely to believe that his personality flaws are cultural rather than personal.

My husband has a saying that is like asking for credit when you set a fire and then subsequently put it out. Like wow ain't I the best since I put it out.

Yes, I was an ass for volunteering to have him evaluate me. And yes, I took it in the shorts when it turned out less than favorable to me.

To wit, I still think he was too harsh. But really, Asians, you make the choice.

you are just mean. and don't get rt involved she is nice. I still am baffled about why you pile on. are you gwink and tm's good friend?

RT can figure out the joke. See, Jack tried to start a different line of discussion to move away from your ... let's say, concern .. that TM described you as chubby and not-pretty. So, RT responds to him, a little back-and-forth ensues, and there's mention of her sister. And I pull that new thread back into the ppnyc-nutjob thread -- exactly what the new thread was created to avoid -- by asking a question that utilizes the key words "chubby" and "not-pretty."

A brilliant, if only marginally funny, display of irony. RT can also recognize the marginal funniness, but she's nice to me about it. That's because RT holds a special place in her heart for me, I know, because I think I was the first GA she met IRL. And I, too, hold a special place for her, because the purpose of our meeting was for her to lend me a tape of a Buffy episode that I had missed.

But I digress.

In any event, no, I am not TM and Gwink's "good friend." I like them both. I've met them for drinks or lunch when we were in the same city. And right now, I think I'd probably avoid doing that again for fear that we'd end up talking about you.

How long does it take for a sprained ankle to fully recover?

Back in May, I slipped on something on the floor at the grocery store and fell. My right ankle and knee hurt pretty bad so I went home and elevated & iced them. The next day they were still sore but hadn't swelled up.

After a couple days the knee didn't hurt anymore but the ankle was still achy. It got so it only ached when I was particularly active. In retrospect, I should have gone to the doctor but after I picked up a nasty antibiotic-resistant staph bacteria at the ER last summer, I like to avoid doctors.

I spent a long day Sat. on my feet and it started aching again. I really thought it should be healed by now.

Questions: Does it make any sense to go to a doctor now or is it too late to do any good? Is there something I can do to strengthen my ankle so it gets better?

I disagree. The effects of anaerobic exercise and aerobic equivalencies depend in part on the individual.

From the sounds of it, it does not seem like these differences are likely to be significant at PPNY's level of physical fitness (or mine, for that matter).

Dear god, woman, are you trying to alienate every.single.person.on.this.board? Even the "nice" ones?
