Sounds like you’re totally on the ball. 8 months is MORE than enough time. (note: Don’t overdo it and set yourself back- which you already know, but it’s an obligatory warning).

My doctor presented me with “You want zombie... or cannibal?” I chose zombie. I wanted my hamstrings to stay intact. I don’t regret it. A team-mate of mine chose the cannibal option and it took her way longer to heal because she needed to rehab her ham as well.

Likely. Possibly even a pre-baste to soften you up a bit.

I hope they get it right! I totally dig the idea. It’s a deep vein of unusual people to mine for ideas, that’s for sure!

I was 39 at the time. I did a lot of rehabbing before I went under the knife to keep my fitness and strength up, and continued working with my physio after. I was cleared for non contact and off skate agility 5 weeks after surgery and wore a carbon hinged knee brace while doing weights and resistance and on-skate…

Other terrible “injury” is scratches from team mate or foe. I have a scar from a tiny scratch on my arm that looks like a giant burn. Not everyone cleans under their nails and I got myself an absolute corker of a staph infection from incidental contact.

Me too! I wasn’t even fully awake from surgery and the nurse had me up and moving the damn knee. From injury to full contact ready took me 5 months.

This covers all the bases for me. I look forward to this. As a person once involved in the SCA (teenager looking for where she belonged- NOT there, sadly- my local kingdom was filled with creepy dudes at the time and 16 yr old me didn’t want to feel the need to be on high alert all the time), I dig the premise.

Holy crow- your cat’s a total jerk (said in tones of wonder and admiration). It’s good that we feeble humans have heroic tolerance for their behaviour because we love their little squishy fur covered selves so much.

This is a good compromise.

I kind of do. But maybe I’m a terrible person.

His ma was probably groped, internalized it and never said anything, because why bother? Saintly Mother vs Whore. Pretty old trope.

What, it was just a little brush by a hand he had no power over. WHY DO YOU HAVE TO MAKE SUCH A BIG FUCKING DEAL?

Yes. She was SPOT ON. He is to be held responsible for his own behaviour and actions. No one else is responsible for the thing you chose to do, dude. I am loving her straight up answers. And I am saddened that it came to this. No doubt it was youthful hijinx, spur of the moment, locker room, she was asking for it, she…

Ham Cloves. He is invited to Easter dinner at my house every year. I serve him with scalloped potatoes, corn and green salad that no one ever eats because most of my family is Scottish.

I am in a bit of a panic. I HAVE THESE EXACT GLASSES. I don’t know what to do.

He totally fits the criteria. Weirdly enough, those who are usually salivating at the chance to make that accusation are absolutely silent on this. I guess they blew their wads accusing Obama of the same. Can’t wait for the Rapture because these Evangelicals may be surprised at who gets taken up. And who doesn’t.

My favorite late night Walmart anecdote is the time I was there to buy chips (don’t judge me, I was on a road trip and the local gas station was jumping with sketchy folks). A woman was in need of assistance in this cavernous and totally understaffed store and she didn’t even bother looking for an associate. She just…

Yep. I’m alternating between terror that Trump is going to Tweet us into the end of the world and absolute fucking delight at the salacious gossip being served here.

Yes. This was my first concern. I feel terrible about my doubts, but also, could they not have found another actor with a Scottish accent? I’m pretty sure there is more than one out there somewhere.
