Haven't people been saying this for ages? As to tech kids, every new technology gets the same flak. I'm sure when literacy was becoming a thing the older generation was decrying the end of conversations as we know them. For me at least, technology makes me more social, I'm never on the computer without booting up mumble and chatting to a few people.

Just trying to cheer you up, it's not as bad as you think, I think!

Only because it bears repeating.

I hate big cities. The air there is hell for my allergies. And too many people. If I could, I'd avoid talking to anyone for at least the next week. Never been happier to be back in my end-of-the-world-backwards town. Been down with something not quite a cold and not quite a serious allergic reaction for two days. I swear, every time I spent any kind of time in Frankfurt, I come down with something for days. That city's a plague.

Isn't it fun to come in to work on a busy day and.. surprise update! Probably of something vitally important like Adobe Reader.. takes only two hours, whoever needs to work?

Sprained my ankle and I think its pretty bad. The pain is increasing with time. What damage a little sand will do

That takes about 6 weeks to recover properly.

I have loads of experience with ankles...

They take that long? This would explain the recurrent injuries to my left leg, I never give myself enough time to heal.

To get back to normal, high ankle sprains take a while. Otherwise, a normal lower ankle sprain will take a couple of weeks. If it's the latter you can walk on it within days; if the former, the weight on the ankle makes it harder to walk normal so a couple of weeks.

Playing soccer, on the otherhand, would probably take 6 weeks to play.

I've had both. Sucks, but that's what crutches are for.

Its definitely lower ankle and it all seems to be muscle, the bone is ok. I may not have a choice about walking though

Isn't a high ankle sprain actually a broken fibula?

I advise amputation.

It may seem like a perfect solution; but then the phantom limb pain kicks in....

Coming down with a cold, which I hope isn't a flu. Although the heaps of people around with the same symptoms would seem to make it a flu.

Only until the cyborg welds finish merging.

The baby has started to roam around in his cot at night. So after sleeping through for the last 3 months I'm now up every 3 hours as he gets his head stuck in the top corner. Little idiot

Just to confirm - you're not allowed to tie them down, right?

I remember seeing pictures of myself from when I was a toddler. My parents would have me in this sort of "snuggie" full body suit that was suspended from elastic cords hanging from the ceiling. I could touch the floor and sort of run or bounce around in arch of around a meter.

My family tell me I used to fall asleep in the thing and they'd just leave me there for hours.

Some times I wonder about my childhood.

Just make sure the cot base is on its lowest setting - my boy went from roaming about to climbing right up and out, falling down and hitting the floor with his head and scaring us silly (we hadn't even seen him stand up at the bars so heaven knows how he did it).

The little buggers can climb!

[Mentalist]

truth.

I climbed out out my crib when I was less than a year old. Then I crawled under it and raised my head.

I still have the scar from the stitch on my eyebrow from that.

I've been dealing with a crazy rash/hives showing up in X patterns in places all over except my feet. I got into the biggest nest of chiggers ever while chopping on a felled tree and my body has freaked out. My left nipple hurts.

Way Way Way TMI at the end.

You could swaddle. Same effect, less chance of criminal charges.
