Is there a podiatrist reading?

<<--See Also: Where's My Saw? and Ouch! Damn It.

Whatever I did to my left foot has now been done to the right foot. For the first time, my right foot is going all to hell. I'm wondering if I am running wrong and that may be causing it. But if that's true, why didn't this happen when I was running for the Air Force? My Dad said that I might have diabetes but I tend to doubt that as I don't have a problem with my energy levels.

I'm not a podiatrist, but I play one on tv...

It's very possible that you're running incorrectly. It could be the way your feet fall, it could be an irregularity in your gait...

As someone who walks funny (and no one bothered to point it out to me until I was in my 20s and couldn't correct it then and now I'm very self-conscious about it) and has had several knee/leg/feet issues as a result, you might want to seek the advice of a trainer, if it continues to be a concern.

I didn't want to slam Ben Affleck over on PJS's blog but I figure it's safe to do so here. The man is flotsam. I say: examine not only his acting career but his erratic behavior as a human being. Ultimately, what kind of person a guy is will sway my opinion more so than a poor performance or two.

Sandra Bullock basically plays Sandra Bullock in all she does but I think she's a good person so I enjoy her. Affleck's an unabashed asshole and I think that needs to figure in the reckoning. I don't see Russell Crowe movies (and he's a GOOD actor) for this reason.

B- What is it about his personal behavior you've found so offensive? I just watch the guy's movies, I don't have any idea how much he tips.

P.S.- you could have said that on my blog!

@Brian: I'd like to see a PT but that can't be covered by my budget (not that I really have one anymore). One of my coworkers is married to some sports education guy. Maybe I can sweetalk a deal or something.

While, I would agree with you on Affleck's character, it's not something that would necessarily keep me from seeing his movies. He just sucks in my opinion. Shakespeare in Love? He was the weakest link. Take this one line in the movie: "He dies?" I grit my teeth every time I hear it or go over it in my head.

I'll watch Russell Crowe movies but then again, other than Gladiator, he hasn't been in any other movies that I was interested in seeing.

Sandra Bullock is hot. I was strongly considering seeing The Lake House solely because she was in it.

@PJS: I won't speak for Brian, but other than living through is grating preformances, I think the guy fellates his own ego. Whenever I see him being interviewed, I get irritated.

Meet Bob

 I ordered my Ford Escape PHEV on October 13, 2022 and I finally took delivery on September 1, 2023. h/t to my salesman Meet Bob. Actually, I thought I would come up with a better name since my last car was named Patty because I got her on St. Patrick's Day. But after spending about three minutes trying to think of something clever, I threw in the towel and settled on Bob. So this is a base model PHEV. It doesn't have things like a heads up display, 360 degree camera, premium audio system, etc. Mind you, I came from a base fiesta. Patty had roll-down windows and didn't even have cruise control. This is a very big upgrade for me. A little over two weeks in, I've hit 1,000 miles. I've tried to force some non-ev time. I'm not sure what kind of engine break in is needed for this. I figured I should do some of that and get its first oil change before I head down to Florida with it in November. So far, just one and one-quarter tanks of gas used. Averaging 86 mpg. Most

Be fruitful and multiply...by ten.

Some coworkers and I were talking about that lady in Arkansas that just delivered her 17th child. The Associated Press announced the good news a couple days ago and I remembered the family from the Discovery Channel . The Duggar family had been the subject of a number of specials dealing with large families. They are especially memorable given that the number of kids as well as their, well, peculiar lifestyle. The people that I was talking to balked at the idea of having that many kids with a few of them openly calling the Duggar parents crazy. I have to admit, I think that they are little bonkers in the head too. But you know, that’s cool on the other hand too. And it’s actually impressive that they are able to afford to have such a large family. There are some parts of me that would like to have a large family. (My definition of large stops at five kids just so you know.) But their criticisms largely used the Duggars' religious faith. From what this article indicated, they are pa

Whatever happened to the Queer Golden Rule?

Wow, Tyler Whitney is popping up all over the gay blogging circuit but the rest of America doesn’t care. Mr. Whitney is an 18 year old staffer for a Republican candidate for President. He was outed. This has caused a little firestorm amongst the gay bloggies with many calling this guy a bigot, an a-hole, and even worse. The way some people have responded to this, Mr. Whitney is fit to be tied to the stake and burned for not being a good little gay. I do not deny that Mr. Whitney has done some pretty offensive stuff. Carrying anti-gay placards that aren’t even fit to be called “homophobic” certainly strikes points against him. However, as I read more about him the more I genuinely feel the need to reach out and hug him. Because I know that he has got to be feeling pretty alone. He’s getting grief from two communities who are openly hostile to which he belongs -conservatives and gays. I have to ask though, is he really deserving of such scorn? Look, his “crime” is working for an
