TAN #64 - A Case of Temporary InTANity (Page 9)

That sounds really good.  I like swedish meatballs.  If you feel like sharing the recipe at some point, I'd love it. 

Sounds awesome!!!!  Dear God I'm hungry today - that did not help, haha

I like the dupont circle area.  But that's the only place I have stayed.  It was nice over there.

Arlington/Northern Virginia

I wouldn't want to live in DC, to be honest. Dupont Circle is probably the best, but it's very pricey.

Glad you aren't having surgery... hope it heals quickly!!!

Hey TAN. Went to the doctor this morning.

The short version of my doctor's appointment is that I have a combination of problems with my ITB and kneecap that are causing pain. At this point, I don't need surgery, but depending on how I respond, they may need to do something arthroscopically later.

Longer version is in my blog.

Will read.

So, can some ITB stretching and/or therapy help?

That's the hope. I got more cortisone (incuding into the ITB - OUCH!!) and anti-inflammatories, so between all that it should help. If not, he's considering surgery to figure out what's going on inside the knee because he can't really see anything on the film

Wow Artemis that sucks. But at least now you have a clue as to what it is and how to fix it.

Yeah.  I am happy that I am not having surgery (at least for now). 

I like Arlington.  A friend of mine lives two blocks away from an orange line stop (Ballston) and that area is really nice. 

i like alexandria and prefer to visit friends that live there over friends that live anywhere else in the DC area.

and gay.  so perfect for goggs, eh?

Yup, the Arlington neighborhoods along the Orange Line are great. I lived in Courthouse for 2 years and loved it. Still feels like a city, but less ghetto and much safer.

Will do.  I will look it up and try to remember to post on TAN.

It's really simple.  I almost feel guilty about it.  But that, along with my chili, seems to get all kinds of rave reviews.  I'm embarassed about how simple they are.  I feel like there should be way more to them - like some time intesive process or secret ingredients.

I'm in the camp that food should be simple, yet delicious, in most cases.  I like doing the hard stuff to, but only for special occasions.

Exactly

Yeah, Alexandria isn't bad, esp. Old Towne. I prefer Arlington, though. If you are so inclined to live in MD, Bethesda/Chevy Chase is nice, too. But I prefer NoVA.

I have a friend who lives in Arlington.  Loves it.

She drunk texted me the other day.  Kind of funny.

I can't wait till my son drives.......it's gonna be like Driving Ms. Daisy all over again....hahahaha

Wow...you're having a crazy week, huh? 

i might one of these days.  i need like 10 minutes advance warning now, compared to the 10 steps in my old building.  should i log all the yardage running up and down the hall for coffee, water, and potty breaks?

Some of these new plastics they package things in?  Almost freaking industructable.

The last couple food items have some thin plastic like plastic wrap you buy on a role around them.  Seems like you could grap a corner and tear, or push a finger through it.  Nope.  It is some tough freak'n stuff.  End up grabbing a knife or scissors to even get into it.

so why are you asking all these questions about moving to the commonwealth???  new job?
