I suffered from an ingrown toe nail on my large toe of my right foot for several painful months a few years ago before finally getting the problem looked at by a doctor and corrected with minor surgery. Its a real drag....fortunately the problem has not come back. Good luck with that and beware of blood poisoning from the infection.
thanks.......this has only been a week, and although it is very painful, it's still nothing compared to the sciatica. that's the only reason i'm able to joke about it like this.
betweent he two of these things, it almost seems like a little wakeup call. i was coming in the arenas, and taking this game WAY too seriously. then the painful things hit. thank god it's easily fixed things too. but they still put things in perspective.
this is a game. i come here(like many of you i'm sure) to escape reality, and to forget any of my real life troubles, even if it is only for a short period of time. nothing in this game is worth getting pissed off over....not even getting ho'd.
when i was getting ready to gv to a port to attack it, i called on local telling the furballers above me that i was leaving the maproom. shuffler said it best. "do whatever makes it fun for you".
so i find different ways to make it fun. in lancs, i let the lone 190 that chased me for almost 3 sectors get in close. a very short battle ensued. it was a BLAST. i lost all three lancs. know what? there was 3 more waiting for me at the click of a button.

BTW....<<S>>black70. was great attacks.
anyway..........time to go eat, then soak the foot BEFORE i try to get on. maybe i can have some fi\un in fighters tonight.
