Good morning comfies! I have tons to do today, but I broke my toe yesterday and I'm not getting around as quickly as I want to. Maybe I will settle here later to chat. :)

How did you break your toe??

I'm an idiot, that's how. I was rushing around yesterday and managed to accidentally kick a wall just so. I'm such a dork.

[Kathy]

Oh Christine, sorry to hear about your toe. Sounds like something I'd do. I bruise easily and constantly have bruises on my legs from running into things. Maybe you can take advantage of your broken toe and take it easy, as if that's possible.

[[deleted user]]

Ouch! You broke the big toe? Any toe is painful; be careful! Cupcake haiku to follow.....

[Brenda]

Christine hope your toe is better soon!

[[deleted user]]

I broke the pinky toe (don't ask me how I kicked that one into it...I have no idea), but yes it is broken. At the moment my pinky toe is about as big as my big toe.

[[deleted user]]

I broke my pinky toe a long time ago. And, it is always the toe I stub. It bends out at a funny angle now, too. :p

Don't call yourself a dork, or klutzy, stuff like this happens. Take it easy and tell the wall that you are going to sue it (ha, ha, ha). I hope you went to the doctor, I know someone who did not go to the doctor for her broken toe and it took ages to heal.

[[deleted user]]

I wasn't planning to go to the doctor. What can they do for a pinky toe?

Christine wrote: "I wasn't planning to go to the doctor. What can they do for a pinky toe?"

Well, they might put a small splint on it, so that it heals straight.

[Brenda]

Tape it to the other toes maybe.

[[deleted user]]

I did tape it, Brenda, thanks. Gundula, I'm cracking up at the idea of a pinky toe splint. I may go into the doctor now though.

[[deleted user]]

Well, it might only be jammed, which means no break. Either way it hurts like hell. I don't remember that they did anything to my toe. Let us know.

Don't sue inanimate objects, lol!!

[Lisa]

I broke my toe, badly, when I was 13. At the time they did nothing. If they can do something I'd advise it. For 5 years it was swollen and black & blue and painful; I thought that it would never heal. but finally, when I was about 18, it went back to seemingly normal. But, if taping had hastened the process, I'd have preferred that!

[Laura]

Happy (late) birthday Lee!!

[[deleted user]]

Happy Birthday, Lee! I didn't know I missed your birthday.

Lovely picture, Laura! Did we wish you a happy birthday last month? Hope both your birthdays were lovely.

Happy Birthday, Lee!! I really have not been keeping up with the birthday list (bad of me), but I hope you had a good day.

To have a swollen and bruised toe for five years must have been horrible, Lisa. I'm glad that it finally got better. Christine, you should go to the doctor, even if nothing can be done, he/she should take a look at it.

[Kathy]

I haven't been keeping up with birthdays either, Gundula. Shame on me. Happy birthday, Lee!

[[deleted user]]

Lee's not on the list, and I never think to look on profile pages.....

[Lee, Mod Mama]

Laura, thank you for the beautiful photo and thanks to everyone else for the birthday wishes. Jeannette is right, I'm not on the birthday page.
I made myself a yummy lemon cake with lemon buttercream frosting last night to celebrate! Christine I will eat an extra big slice for your poor wee toe. Did you go to the doctor?

[[deleted user]]

Happy Birthday Lee! I love lemon cake, and with lemon buttercream frosting...even better.

[[deleted user]]

I couldn't get an appointment today. I taped it up though, and I'll see how it looks tomorrow.
Happy Happy Belated Birthday Miss Lee! You are an awesome group mama,and we love you!

[[deleted user]]

Christine, that toe sounds painful. About a year and a half ago, my husband stubbed his toe very badly and he went to see a doctor. They didn't do anything for him, no splint, wrapping, or x-ray - they just said oh you broke your toe. After limping around literally for months..he went to have it x-rayed and they found it wasn't even the toe that was broken but a little bone where the toe meets the foot, and he should have been in a walking cast. Toes and feet are very tricky!

[[deleted user]]

Ah! Now that would not be good!

[Lee, Mod Mama]

Wow Shelley, your poor husband. Is his toe okay now?

Christine, you make sure they check that properly! And I love being this group's mama. It's a joy!

[Lisa]

Yep, even when you go to the doctor's they can miss stuff. I have a friend who stepped off a curb hard and hurt her foot. It was x-rayed, etc. and they said it was fine, no break. After months and several appointments they finally figured out that it was broken. She was in a walking cast for what seems like a long time, definitely longer than 6 weeks. But, it's still better to go to the doctor and try to get it checked.

I will never forget your birthday Lee since it's Santa Lucia's day, a very special party in Sweden by the time I was living there.

Buttercream frosting? I am drooling as I type!

That might get messy, Kathy, lol. But, I'm drooling too.

[Kathy]

I did just have a piece (okay, a piece and a half) of zucchini bread and some French-vanilla coffee. Of course, some buttercream frosting would have been even better, on anything.

[Kathy]

Here is a quote from Dave Barry that I thought you comfies might enjoy.

"My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what I start. So far today, I have finished 2 bags of M&M's and a chocolate cake. I feel better already."

Jeannette, I'm often behind on computer shorthand. What does ;P mean? I just recently figured out IMHO, so you know I need help with it.

Ha! I think it's a face simultaneously winking and sticking out its tongue. Correct?

I'm so glad I'm not the only one. I just recently figured out what lol means, but there is still a lot I don't know.

[Maude]

Well, I have to admit that I don't know what LOL means either Gundula. Is it Lots of Lock, Lots of Love, Look out Lucille, Leaps on Lions???? There are a lot of those little additives that I have no clue.

[Maude]

What does IMHO mean?

[Brenda]

we have laugh out loud (lol) and in my humble opinon ( IMHO) but I am guessing! I still get lost sometimes :)

[[deleted user]]

rofl (rolling on the floor laughing). Brenda is correct, and Lisa wins the prize for the winking face, with the tongue stuck out.
:D (happy face)
XP (squinting)
<3 (a sideways heart)
:3 (another silly face).

I have a teenager. There are zillions of these things out there!

[Maude]

Well, thanks everyone!! I really should have asked sooner! I do like rofl a lot. But I don't understand the connection between XP and squinting.

[[deleted user]]

the X is the eyes, squeezed together, and the P is the tongue. So, it is a very serious laugh.

[[deleted user]]

Here is one link for internet shorthand http://www.netlingo.com/acronyms.php

There is also a link on their for the smileys. You'll see it in the upper right corner.

[[deleted user]]

Thanks, Christine. I'll have to look at these.

So, how's the toe?

[[deleted user]]

Jeannette, the toe isn't broken, it's sprained (errr....I thought that was the same thing when you are talking about a toe?). And the is "nothing to really do". So I'm just doing nothing except watch it turn different colors and shapes. :)

[[deleted user]]

Sprain means there are no broken bones, that's all. It still hurts like the dickens, I bet! Wear slippers in the house -- it really protects the toes. :)
