Oh, dear, suela. ~ma for something that can be treated and resolved easily.
We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

not your mom's socks.
Oh Consuela, I hope you find the ER speedy and helpful. Much calm to you and quick resolution to her.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I just read a profile of the distinguished educator who as a young and idealistic guy wrote The Anarchist Cookbook -- which, by the way, he researched on a bunch of declassified government manuals and so on, i.e. publically available sources -- which since he sold the copyright he can't stop from being published.
Anyway, it sent me thinking that there really should be a "Non-Violent Protestor Cookbook" with lots of advice about setting up effective safe protests, how to train your demonstrators and all that.

Didn't Thoreau write one of those?

I hope you can find an easily resolvable cause for the problem, Consuela.

And, Consuela, so sorry. I know from a friend's experience that it is possible to break a hip without a fall in certain circumstances. I'm glad to hear the ER is springing into action.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh, dear. I hope it's something easily fixable, Consuela.
I have banana cupcakes a-cooking.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Is Onerous Task Day Friday?
It is!
So it's not a meltdown; we are at the er. I would think she broke her hip except she hasn't fallen and barely walks.
I thought that most broken hips in old people aren't from the fall, but rather the order is: hip breaks, then they fall down. I hope she's okay.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I'm going to the gym after work, do my set of leg and hip exercises. I think I'm seeing improvement, it no longer hurts to cock my hip and pull my leg up to put on my socks.
Connie, that's cool! My hip flexors suck. All of my muscles are always tight (thanks, Dad), but my hip flexors are the worst offenders. I wish I could find a stretch for them that helps longer than the 5 minutes it takes me to drive home from the gym.
