I think I'd find a 2nd opinion:) They've had my grandma with her very bad knees on an exercise bike as much as she'll let them.

He was the third opinion... apparently the type of degeneration I have (femoral trochlear groove + patella) is "interesting" so they had three different docs consulting. My doc just got to be the butthead who told me. :(Quote:

He said I should not do things that require bending my knee (that part of the joint is bone on bone), I asked him what in the blue blazes I'm supposed to do for exercise "walk, just walk". *sigh*Quote:

Dear Winter,
I miss you already. The snow is melting fast and I did not get enough days in on my skis. Especially since I learned to snowboard this year. I think I now need winter to be twice as long so I can ski AND ride.
Thank you for your attention to this matter :)
TriMom217, I'm with you on the winter seeming too short. Despite the fact that we have had one of the snowiest winters in memory I still hope for one last big (2 ft min) snow. I have to be careful to keep this to myself as most folks around here are very much over it!
Dear transcription,
Discrete is not the same as discreet. They weren't the same when I got here 4 years ago and they aren't now. Please, please quit substituting one for the other with abandon. As I only use "discrete" I don't see why this should be an eternally ongoing problem.
we've had a pretty snow-LESS winter around here. Luckily my local mountain does a lot of snow making early in the season, so there is still a good base. I'm heading over there after I walk the dogs.Quote:

Dear Dental Receptionist,
I'm so glad I called the office when you were out, and got to speak to someone who would listen to me. The extra $$$ you charged us is being refunded. Trying to make my point with you was like pulling teeth (pun intended). Trying to explain to you that we had already paid for this work was incredible stressful and frustrating, like an Abbot and Costello skit, minus the funny.
But seriously, your mistake cost me several nights' sleep. At least I now feel like a huge weight has been lifted. I really don't want to deal with you ever again, but since it's bf's mouth, it's his call as to whether to return to your office again.
Dear Australian Distributor,
When my bike shop paid you to bring an XS Titus in, yes we do actually want the bike. Asking my bike shop 3 weeks later if we still want it isn't a good look.
I'm pondering writing a little letter to Titus & hopefully getting a bike down to me..in the next 2 months!!!
I'll be interested in the response you give tomorrow..how long will we have to wait for a bike??? Does Australia register any interest from Titus?
Sincerely,
Sad Cyclist
Ugh. :mad::( Good luck with it CC.
Dear LBS:
Thanks for finally shipping my bike. A week was really a reasonable time frame to do the work that I asked, so I'm not too upset about that. But I'd have been a lot happier if one of your mechanics hadn't told me "three days" and the owner hadn't told me "the day after I brought it in."
Hoping it's in great condition when it gets here...
To my cold or allergies, but I think it's a cold,
Please go away. I am registered for my first long ride of the season on Sat., and I REALLY want to do it. thanks.
Dear robin,
I don't know why you've been pecking at my windows ever since I woke up this morning, but there is absolutely nothing in my house that you want. Was it you who was making all the noise outside before I went to sleep, too? Please go do whatever it is you need to survive.
Dear Lady driving the car behind me:
And I use the term "lady" with reservation. Do you kiss people with the same mouth that shouted obscenities at me, "Granny get your !@#^&*& bike up on the sidewalk where you belong."
Dear Channel 4 News
Thank you for your coverage of important health issues in our community. The county has followed up regarding the reports of staph infection, however, we are unsure about how to treat the "staff infection."
Doesn't this mean that the staff should stay home?
