Managed to make it out camping for the long weekend despite being on crutches. My wife had to do a lot of what I normally do to pack and cook and stuff but we made it work. Ankle is slowly improving. Maybe would be faster if I didn’t go camping but what can you do.

Not go camping?

Glad it's getting better though!

When it comes to soft tissue injuries like sprains and strains, red light therapy may both promote healing and offer pain relief as well.

"A small study showed that ankle sprains treated with light therapy had less swelling at 24, 48, and 72 hours compared to rest, ice, compression, [and] elevation," noted Dr. Caitlyn Mooney, a sports medicine physician at University Medicine Associates in San Antonio, Texas and member of the American Medical Society for Sports Medicine.

"Another small study showed people treated with light therapy returned to full weight bearing earlier after ankle sprain," she added.

Lots of clinical grade red light therapy devices on sale for Amazon's Prime Day (which now lasts for four days... Earth days, that is).

Ha! I have this on a T-shirt and wore it when I went to the Tall Ships festival; the navy guys and a few others commented on how awesome it was. LOL

lol Audible just gave me yet another three months for $0.99 / month.

Just as I'm about halfway through The Book That Held Her Heart---after having gotten the trilogy with my monthly credits from the previous three months of $0.99/month.

Apparently we’re into a generation in the US that has no idea what Craigslist is.

My sil and her boyfriend were having trouble finding a place to rent, they’d been looking on Zillow and FB Marketplace. I asked if they’d looked on Craigslist, and you’d think I had miniature lobsters crawling out of my ears.

A week later and they signed a lease on a great place I sent them off Craigslist.

It's less lack of awareness of what Craigslist is, and more the connotation that Craigslist is sketchy & scammy

Did you, in fact, have miniature lobsters crawling out of your ears?

Ankle is improving, follow up ekg was normal. Headed to Oregon for a five night camping trip in a few days. I think I randomly saw Hoosierdaddy posting on Reddit. How many Hoosier daddy’s can there be?

Taking my daughter to his very first concert tonight (BLACKPINK)! So excited. I got her the best earplugs (Loop; Engage Kids) to make sure the sound doesn't hurt her ears, and told her I'd buy her merchandise (the prices are $$$ but it's her first experience). She's made an outfit to dress up in too.

Hope she has a wonderful time!

Also, can't recommend Loops enough - Mr NAB and I both have the adult concert ones (I have the everyday quiet ones too) and they've successfully stood up to Iron Maiden and Bruce Springsteen with no ear ringing afterwards

Yeah, I wore mine (which I think I bought on your recco a few years back?) the Loop Quiet ones to Coldplay at the same venue and they worked like a charm, no ringing either!

I've got a little baby boy! Currently both simultaneously very happy and very tired.

Caladan was ruled out of the name choices so he's called Rowan Ashwin.
