    A deer hit me

    First Day on the Job

    It never ceases to amaze me how people can laugh at other people getting hurt. Falling down is bad, but falling off a step is even worse. I remember playing with my niece and nephew, running through a lightly wooded area as they were chasing me. I tripped on some sticks and fell into a pile...

    Enjoy NZ is right! :excl: Did the honeymoon there many moons ago. Two weeks in Australia and a week in NZ. :) Hit Aukland, Rotorua, Christchurch, and Queenstown. Milford Sound blew me away. Four hours in on a cramped motorcoach to MS (through gorgeous sub-tropical rainforests I might add)...

    Hello...

    Lucid, Thanks for your thoughts. :) I went ahead and got the AAOS book because of the website and DVD material. I hadn't seen the Brady book website, so thanks for the link. I like how you can take all these little quizzes online. Very convenient. Keeps the mind in touch with the...
