    Wow, glad to hear you're ok!
    (I'd make fun of you, but it sounds like something I'd get myself into. )

    On a lighter note... I first saw the thumbnail photo on the main page while on my smartphone and it lost a little bit in translation due to the tiny size.

    I was wondering why you were posting a picture of Plumber's Crack w/Diaper Rash.

    What, I thought laughter is supposed to be the best medicine?!?!? OK.... sorry!

    You reminded me that I got myself (slightly) run over once years ago. I was assisting as my buddy Robert took the lead on installing a rebuilt engine in my '79 Cutlass. The replacement Olds 350 was chained to the rafters in the shop where we worked and it was ready to be installed. Since it was stationary, we had to roll the car under it.

    Robert decided to start pushing before I was ready and instantly rolled the right front tire on top of my foot. I started yelling, "You're on my foot! You're on my foot! You're on my foot!" In true "good friend" fashion, Robert came around to my side of the car so he could see for himself.... and proceeded to begin laughing his A off - so there was a delay before he pushed it back after he composed himself. Fortunately it didn't hurt at all - it just scared me - so I joined in the laughing. He called me "Barney" for years after that, and yeah, he was right - I sounded just like Barney Fife when I started yelling.

    (Hey, cool - that episode of the Andy Griffith Show is on YouTube! Barney didn't respond to a chain letter and started having a run of bad luck. While crossing the street, a pickup wound up running over his foot - here's the clip. Start at 7:00 for the exact scene. Good gosh, I may have even started yelling for him to "back it up!" )

    PS: Man... that 300 HP Rocket 350 from a 68 Cutlass Wagon was an AWESOME replacement for the original anemic 100 HP 260 V8 that came with the car! Gas mileage did suffer a bit, though: 13 city/13 highway, but who cares when you could lay down rubber for a full 1/8 mile!

    As a guy that has numbness/neuropathy in both hands (due to 9K miles a year on a bicycle and being a 55 year old "aging athlete"), I've had VERY good luck with Jarrow Labs "Alpha Lipoic Acid". I take 4/day - 2 in the AM and 2 in the PM. They're time release - I REALLY notice the difference at night when I sleep! My hands used to ALWAYS fall asleep - even my "off" hand that I wasn't sleeping on. This has been greatly reduced through taking these religiously - just my 25 cents worth...
