    I jut got back from seeing The Hobbit. Good movie overall, but, as a Tolkien purist, there were little things I have issues with (like the climactic ending....loved the post-battle scene at the end but not the battle itself.....serious issues with that (but I'll refrain from giving spoilers)).

    You don't believe me, lol. It's cool. The last pic I took is a blurry shot of a baby elephants face. I wish i could find it now. Then the next thing I know I'm screaming "GUN IT" to my wife in the drivers seat (on our passenger side). The funniest part? She screams "what the [profanity deleted] does 'GUN IT' mean?!?" I gently told her to stomp on the gas. Then our little 3rd world country car got chased by one pissed off momma elephant.

    There's a longer story here but my thumb only works so hard.

    *snicker*

    Well I've been bluff charged by bears. Not as huge as elephants but still pretty stinking terrifying!

    Oh so many movies coming out in the next couple years that will totally ramp up my inner geek!!!

    Iron Man 3, the second Thor, the second Captain America....the second Avengers..

    Not to mention all three installments of the Hobbit wedged in between those!!!

    I grew up in Central PA, amidst all the Eagles & Steeler fans. Ravens from day one mainly to irritate my ex who is one of those ignorant Steeler fans. It only took a few games to make me a true believer. Can you say Super Bowl Champions? As a newly formed team, I think we've more than proved ourselves a winning team. My male co-workers like to give me grief whenever the Ravens have a rare loss. That's OK.,..I know we're good...I can take it. I don't gloat over our wins either, I just smile & wear one of my jerseys. GO RAVENS!

    Born and raised in York! But now an expat in SE Indiana. I'm equidistant between Indianapolis and Cincinnati and I still have to deal with Steelers fans! :lol:

    This makes me think of my Bobo. He HATES the cat carrier. Once I stood the carrier up, wrapped him in a towel and started to lower him into it...wouldn't you know it his back legs fell out of the bottom of the towel and he put one foot on either side of the door and pushed. He was a very strong cat in his younger days. The struggle was immense.

    Took me fifteen minutes of fighting to get him in and he was hissing at me and trying to b i t e me (stupid filter altered that to 'be quiet') all the while. The vet chuckled when I explained why we were late for the appointment.

    I'm sure I posted in this thread long ago and just can't find it and don't even remember if it's there...

    born and raised in south-central Pennsyltucky straight shot down Rte 83 from Baltimore.

    February of this year, I moved by choice to Colts country. Malkavian Raven can back me up on this as he lives a few miles down the highway from me: the suck is HUGE living halfway between Cincy and Indy! :D

    Thanks for the info. I have been trying to take it slow, but I am not a really patient person haha. I've basically gotten range of motion back, but the strength is going to take a while I am sure. On a positive note I am able to run now without any problems.

    Oh I hear you on that. My dad had to keep reminding me of how long my stepmother's shoulder injury took to heal (she had fallen--broke her wrist and dislocated her shoulder). Yeah the strength will take a while. I was lucky in that my shoulder never lost range of motion to begin with. But holding the shoulder at certain angles really hurt...and sometimes still does.

    Best of luck!

    Not sure if this is the proper place to post this, but whatever.

    I dislocated my shoulder recently and I was curious if anyone has had that injury and his any tips/information/experiences that could help out my rehab. I'm doing PT right now, but I feel like it's going to take forever to get back. It's a huge bummer because I'm supposed to be training for a half marathon and I cant do squat. Sooo frustrating.

    All I can say is dude..patience.

    Two years ago I strained my left front rotator cuff tendon and that took the better part of nine months to get back to right, even with my regiment of twice-daily rehab exercises. Now guaranteed a strained shoulder isn't the same as a dislocated one but I understand your frustration. Just don't try to rush back too soon and set yourself back. That is what I had the most trouble dealing with...the doing too much too soon.
