Got an elbow to the ribs at football, it felt fine, so I played again. Now I'm in agony. I'd go to the dr's but I'm going on holiday tomorrow and I don't want to be grounded. The only reason to go to the doctor is for pain meds. There's no treatment other than to avoid doing things that hurt, and i doubt they'll prohibit you from doing anything that you're comfortable doing. I had the exact same thing happen a number of years ago. If i wasn't careful about how I moved or breathed I'd get an incredible pain and feel a bit of a pop, like the pieces of rib were shifting against each other or the cartilage. It felt significantly better after a day and I figured it must not be broken since I'd always heard how incredibly painful that is. A year or so ago I was looking at my health record on line and stumbled across a chest x-ray report from when I'd been in for possible pneumonia and it referenced a prior, healed rib fracture. I had it happen again a few months ago, when I slammed into the ground hard enough to blur my vision temporarily. Accidentally aspirated a piece of carrot while eating lunch a couple of days later and had a coughing fit. Nearly fainted from the pain. This time I went in and the doctor asked about symptoms and said, "Yeah, sounds like a broken rib." No point in taking an x-ray because results make no difference in treatment. Pain meds helped me sleep the first couple of nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh , i’d Probably enjoy a night out talking about cheeseburgers with an overweight person far more than I’d enjoy a night out with a gym bunny telling me what their favourite brand of protein shake is None of this excuses obesity, note I'm talking about people who are obese rather than a bit overweight. Images of obese people should not be celebrated at all, given the terrible health consequences obesity will lead to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As galling as it is to endorse them, given the off-the-chart levels of annoyance their adverts provoke, moonpig is the way forward. Obviously it means you need to have actually had the thought of getting a card a day or two before it is required but apparently it shows a great deal of thoughtfulness to have moonpig stick the recipients name in the middle of the awful joke / pun.

Nath182 Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Cards of any sort just piss me off. What's the point? £3 for a piece of card that will go in the bin the next week (being generous). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can go to card warehouse and most of the cards are 99p or £1.50. But I don't like cards. I'd prefer lottery tickets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the missus I usually buy tastful, arty cards from Waterstones. Some of them not only don't go in the bin, but end up on the wall in frames.

chrisp65 Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 I don't do cards, but Mrs p does. The compromise we've sort of settled in to is that she writes all the cards and then gives me the ones that are more for my friends than hers. I put them in the glovebox of the car and say I will deliver them. We're both happy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 My uncle gave me one saying 'Nothing says happy birthday like a piece of folded card' which I quite liked. It's kind of changed my perception of buying cards, I used to spend a ridiculous amount of time trying to find the funniest one, now I don't really give much of a shit and just go to the Card Factory and get something for a quid.

Ingram85 Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 If it’s for someone I like I spend £2 max. Everyone else gets a 59-75p special or from a multipack. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodders Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 (edited) People who get cards: when I remember - christmas family members, though lately it's reduced to using a tag, saves a tenner easy. parents get a anniversary card 2 out of every 10 years as that is my ratio for remembering, usually because one of the numbers ends in a 0 or a 5. siblings get a default card because I've unimaginatively bought them a voucher of some kind partner - gets one, if I feel I need to make a particular effort, and I'll write her a thoughtful message inside. That said, a few years ago when still flatsharing, and more of my friends lived nearby often enough for regular social occasions and before serious relationships ruined everything for the rest of us, we used to intentionally buy either the naffest / most inappropriate ( I'm sorry for your loss cards for birthdays etc ) / or the single same card. One birthday I received 11 cards of the same christmas deer. That was quite fun, as we'd accompany said card with a token shit gift from a charity shop such as badly dubbed knock off 70s marital arts films or ear splitting "top hawaiian jazz, sounds of the 50s" type CDs.

mjmooney Posted February 16, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted February 16, 2018 My mates and I used to do the 'joke gift' thing, eventually settling on "The Crossroads Wedding Album" LP. Still in its shrink wrap, never got opened, despite being passed from one person to another each birthday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
