Tiltypoo's Birthday?

“Like I said, Violin is the master... my thread hosing capacities vanish in his shade.”

“Oooooh!

A new page = new opportunities for mischief.”

“Of course, when I hose a thread it is because I goofed... when he hoses a thread it is because he is evil.”

“Happy Birthday”

“uh oh.”

“tilt i saw that car show, it was cool.







i was in 6th grade in 76”

“It is okay, Stratdewd, we don't care how many years you spent in the sixth grade. The important thing is that you did finally make it to middle school.”

“Did I type that?”

“I was wondering the same thing about what I said over on the CFMO thread...”

“Happy Birthday, Tilt!
Of course every time I look at the thread name it looks like "Tittypoo"”

“Happy Birthday Tilt!”

“Relax, don't be nervous. It's just a thread about you Tiltypoo!”

“Actually Bitpusher, I was thinking just that after I posted on that thread, that someone would play a joke on me at a group backpacking trip. That is why I added the caveat, which you then joked about.”

“lol....actually I didn't see the first post until after the second...”

“Happy Birthday!

8)”

“Happy birthday. I didn't make the tittypoo/Tilt connection til just now!”

“arf, she said.”

“Thanks, Frank.


Ya Know.... I've found that these message boards are like the rest of our daily lives in at least one respect. Once you fling those syllables out into the aether... they're Out There. After that, all we can really do is deal with the consequences.

Sorry to get all psuedo-philisophical, <G>. Gimme another glass o' that rouge ordinaire.

(i'm still celebrating a little), <smiles>.


Uh oh! Birthday Over! No excuses left! <G>”

“I am getting old--need those glasses. I read titty and thought--i don't know that person but there were so many responses.....
Happy birthday boy. Mary”

“Survived another one, Mary! (especially the birthday dinner with family, LOL)

We'll see how it goes next year!
<SMILES>!”

“Tilt, get that old ass o' yours to bed, would ya??? B-day DONE!!!

LOL!! Hope it was great!!!!!”

“Happy Birthday tilt!”

“ooops! That last post was me not sass...”

“back to work, your day has come and gone. hope you n violin had a great one tilt ole buddy!”

“Okay Lizs! My Old Ass has had its Much Needed beauty sleep and is now awake and roaming the neighborhood!


I'm sooooooo confused! Mapleleaf is actually Treebeard sometimes and Sassafras is really Birch... jeeeeeez, you multiple personality types need to get your acts together, <GRINS>

Thank G-d all the holiday craziness is FINALLY over! Time to find places to stash the new goods, start paying off the #^@)$& credit cards and shed the 5 lbs that mysteriously appeared over the last month or so.

I'm not sure what that 'normal' thing is but it's time to try and get back to it.

<WHEW>”

“Happy day Tilt. I've seen dirt that is around 500 million years old. You look mahvaluss for yer age I'd say!”

“THANKS, Geo., LOL

You need to check out that vishnu schist at the bottom of the Grand Canyon -- it's pretty messed up!

Glad to hear that you're feeling better. What was that line Sam Clemens got so much mileage from... ?

<G>”

“Yeah, but there came a time when the reports of his demise were not exaggerated.”

“yes... "only the good die young"

LOL”

“you bad boy you”

“The guy had a birthday and then disappeared? Is he on vacation? Trolling? What's up?”

“i thought i saw him posting yesterday? maybe not...”

“I don't know, I was kind of scarce this past week, so maybe I missed him posting.”

“I think he's been "cross-posting" as Hikingirl.”

“I think he's in forced retirement.”

“just what exactly would a Tilt troll be like, anyway? i can't imagine we wouldn't be able to guess it was him!”

“If you had a birthday Tilt, hope it was happy. Sorry I missed it.”

“Hah!!! And you thought 'Uncle Tiltie' was bad. Happy birthday, dude!!!








Tiltypoo....(snicker).......”

“Still Alive And Well!!!

(kinda-sorta)



(OR... What The Hell IS a
Spontaneuous Pneuemo-Thorax, Anyway?)”

“GREAT.

Now on top of everything else The Spelling Fairy is going to want to kick my ass...”

“Please explain that in English, Tittypoo?

lol”

“I had a flat, LOL”

“I'll come up with a trip report later --- I think the percocet is wearing off.”

“I had a flat, LOL"
Tilt

"had" - Does that mean that you were evicted from your apartment? Kicked out into the rain? Wow! Good luck.

percocet ???

Is it Monday already?”

“Tilty got Pleurisy!

Ouch!”

“This sounds about right....”

“yep. kinda ouchy.

I'm beginning to think God doesn't want me to backpack, LOL”

“Tilt - Are you saying that you had a medical problem? I thought you juat had a flat tire on a vehicle (in the rain). If it is medical, I hope you will be OK soon.

Pleurisy does not sound enjoyable. Good luck.”

“wow, did *I* have a weird week.

I woke up last Friday AM (18th) feeling some chest discomfort. No 'hurt', just discomfort. It didn't get better (or worse) as the day progressed... so I had my internist check it out that afternoon. He said 'it didn't sound right' so I went over to the hospital to get a quick chest x-ray.

The radiologist showed me the x-ray saying... "This branchlike structure is your right lung. Over to here is your left lung..."

T'waren't nothin' there! I'd had a flat. The left lung looked just like a deflated balloon. Sooooooooooooo, they put in a chest tube, re-inflated it (OUCH),
and kept me for about a week to keep an eye on it.

So now I'm home. Going to grab some clothes and hang out with Mom for a few days (O Joy, LOL).

No weightlifting for at least couple of months, <G> --- no BPing either!

<grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr>


The Doc asked, "What did you do to it?"
I said, "I just fell asleep on the sofa watching TV!"”

“Tilt, you did something that caused the protective outer layer of your lung (parenchyma) to rip or tear (forceful breathing during weightlifting?). Normally, there is a slight negative pressure between your lungs and the inside of your chest. Once the trauma occured, every time you breathed, air went through the rip and into your chest cavity, creating a positive pressure and collapsing your lung over time. The doc put a chest tube in to relieve the positive pressure and then they probably sucked back on the tube alittle to reestablish that negative pressure.

Restup and remain medicated!”
