As I sit here eating a duplex, I mean, duplex cookie from Whole Foods (OMFG have you tasted these things?!), my snuff box is killing me. You’re so dirty. Get your mind out of the gutter. The snuff box is in the wrist. I still don’t know what the deal is with my wrist due to the colossally incompetent medical care I’ve been receiving. I called the radiology department next to ER and asked if I came in and had my x-rays done if I could get the results on the spot. I was told I could. When I got there, I asked again if I could get the results on the spot, telling them that I was going to THIS radiology place because I didn’t want to wait DAYS to get the results like the other place. I was told I could. Before they took my x-rays I asked again if I would be getting the results immediately and was AGAIN told I could get the results on the spot. (If it was broken I wanted to just walk next door to the ER to get it casted. )
After they took the x-rays? I was told that actually I could NOT get the results, but was assured that the radiologist would fax me the report. By this morning, I still hadn’t received the report. I called and was told that actually they couldn’t do that either. I can’t have the results. So I tried calling the doctor’s office who ordered these effin’ x-rays and was told that it usually takes a few days for the doctor to get to it (which is why I wanted them on the spot in the first place.) I have no intention of ever going back to this doctor. So now I’m 5 days into this injury, and STILL have no idea if my wrist is broken. I surfed around online and read about wrist injuries and it says that in 3-5 days you should be pain-free and healed from a wrist sprain. AND that serious, long-term complications can arise if it’s not treated correctly immediately. ARGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m literally ready to start killing people. I’ve finally given up that I’ll ever be able to have access to my own medical records and made an appointment for Friday (soonest) with an orthopedist who specializes in hands. GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!
So I’m in the FOULEST mood EVER. E-V-E-R. Because my snuff box hurts and I want to beat the hell out of someone. ANYONE will do. Preferably someone who works in medicine, though. I’m mad enough that I should be able to take someone out without my left arm. lol.
ANYWAY, back to the cookies. The duplex cookies are like an Oreo, except they’re vanilla on one side and chocolate on the other. And they’re buttery good. OMFG they’re good. I go through periods where I’ll eat the same dessert every day for months on end until I’m sick of it. It usually cures me forever, although sometimes just for decades. Like, there have been two ice cream sandwich periods in my life. And three Reeses peanut butter cup periods. I’m not binger, I can eat just one ice cream sandwich a day. Or sustain myself on 3 Oreos a day. I did the Oreo thing about 7 years ago. I ate 3 fricken’ Oreos a day for like, six months straight. I thought I was cured. Until? These damn duplex cookies. I’m currently on two duplexes a day. Sigh. Which bring me to the first Whatever Wednesday question:
Do you go through periods where you eat the same junk food (cookies, chips, candy, etc.) until you’ve eaten so much you’re over them? If so, what’s your poison? Has it ever returned?
If you asked Steve he’d say he’s never done this. But ask him about the constant stream of Werthers that he has in his office. Or the Santander bars. Yeah. I thought so.
Whatever Wednesday rules: Answer the question left by the person before you and leave a question for the next person. Play as many times as you wish. Anything goes. And it doesn’t have to be Wednesday to play.
I’ll catch up with answering comments soon, I promise!

You forgot a Question!
In honor of helen if you had to break one bone which bone would you choose?
May 14, 2008 at 12:19 pm
I asked a question!
Do you go through periods where you eat the same junk food (cookies, chips, candy, etc.) until you’ve eaten so much you’re over them? If so, what’s your poison? Has it ever returned?
And I think a toe would be the most convenient bone to break.
May 14, 2008 at 1:24 pm
Jesse: I would choose a finger,but the long bone, that is easier to cast and recover corectly.
Helen… You migh hve a split but you could also dilocate, the dilocation of that part hurts more than a splint. And is easier to repair, except that a little ore painful because wht happens is that it normally goes “back to his position” by itself but it …looking or the word in english… well hope this one helps.. it bites a nerve between two bones ( you have like 10 in the wrist I think). and that is what makes it painful, the solution to dislocate it again an put it back correctly..sadly you need a doctor.
It is impressive for me that it takes that log. I have never waited for an x-ray result so long.. mm 30 minutes was the longest!.
Now helen question .- Yes! CHOCOLATES.. GODIVA is my guilty pleasuere, even on diets
.
( hey a toe is a misserable bone break, you can’t walk correctly, ask me. I broke one 1 month ago..
it hurts and is really difficult to walk).
Question.-
Indiana JOnes or James Bond?
May 14, 2008 at 1:36 pm
James Bond. Only if Pierce Brosnon is playing him. My favorite James Bond movie is Casino Royale but I have had a soft spot for Pierce since Remington Steele.
I broke my baby toe about 3 years ago – wasn’t so bad. Much better than the clavical.
Question – Do you read good books over and over again or are you one-time only?
May 14, 2008 at 2:00 pm
Indy!!! Bond is old school and he changes all the time. Indy is always Harrison Ford. And who can get tired of that scruffy look. Plus the kids can watch Indy.
Broken toes hurt! And so does racking your toe to the point where the toe nail falls off!! Not only does it hurt, but it’s ugly too!!! Especially in sandals.
Hmm – - my question – - I’ve never played on Wednesday’s so all I really can ask is something silly.
Boys or girls – wwhich is the easier child to raise from age 3-18?
Please say boys – mine is 2 1/2 and I’ve heard too many stories about girls being a pain. And I know I was one for my mom!!
May 14, 2008 at 2:31 pm
hmm that’s a tough one. my boys are 16 and 13, and my daughter is 11. She is definitely more emotional and moody, but the boys are more mouthy and aggressive. I’m hoping that my 16 month old son will be perfect! (one can dream right??)
My question(s): Are you a spender or a saver? Is your spouse the opposite?
May 14, 2008 at 3:30 pm
Was it something I said?
May 14, 2008 at 10:24 pm
Colleen-I got you! I’m a read-them-a-million-times person, until I reach my limit. Then it’s see you next decade. There are a very select few that I will read anytime anyplace even if I JUST read them no matter what, but that’s a very special honor only for a few books.
Christina-I think boys are easier, but I think it depends on your personality. I’d rather have a surly teenage boy than an emotional teen girl any day (although I will enjoy both someday)but that’s because I HATE drama/tears/crisis that happens to teen girls. On the other hand, my dad would rather deal with tears than the mumble-grunt-angrydoorslam of teen boys. To each their own.
Mother Hen-I’m a saver, hubby’s a spender, it all evens out.
QUESTION:
Who is the one person you look up to more than anyone else and why?
May 14, 2008 at 11:42 pm
I don’t look up to any one person in particular – everyone is way too faulty – I just pick and choose traits I admire from various people, and try and incorporate those into my actions. I deal with religion the same way.
What is your own worst quality?
(and not to be nitpicky, but the rules state that you should only be answering the last question asked….)
May 15, 2008 at 3:38 am
My own worse trait is my temper, Im very short tmepered and really have to keep my tongue in check with the whole saracasm thing a lot of the time. Weirdly enough though Im quite patient wwith the kids….
Next question, Have you ever taken advantage of a huge money saving offer and what what it, how much did you save?
Im asking because today Ive booked tickets to go see playhouse disney live for £5 ($9-$10) each instead of £20 ($40) each!!!! saved around £110 ($214) on seven tickets!!!!!
May 15, 2008 at 5:12 am
You can rough me up, if you want. I usually pay extra for that.
May 15, 2008 at 7:29 am
Fabulous-HAHAHAHAHA
Swim in a pool of Jello or Shower in a fountain of Chocolate
May 15, 2008 at 8:03 am
Shower in a fountain of chocolate!!!
I’m chocolate adict.
Have the job of your dreams for almost nothing $$$$.or a great paid job that you don’t like at all?
May 15, 2008 at 2:35 pm
great paid job Im afriad…..
at the end of the day, my motto is work to live, not live to work….
Next question,
whats the tv show you couldnt miss???????
May 15, 2008 at 6:13 pm
Stargate. Missed it when it was on tv but my FIL has all 10 seasons on dvd and I am watching them in order. I don’t watch anything else now.
Would you buy a workout video with Traci Lords as the instructor?
Sold it on ebay to a guy – should I be curious about this person? Amazingly enough it didn’t sell before I mentioned her name.
May 16, 2008 at 4:49 am
W
May 16, 2008 at 4:52 am
who is Traci Lords? So i guess I wouldnt buy the workout video
Would you rather have a beautiful son who is gay or a horrible ugly son who is straight?
May 16, 2008 at 11:11 am
I would like to have a son free to do what ever he want’s to be
no matter if he is beautiful or ugly.
Would you rater have a raccoon or a rat as pet?
May 16, 2008 at 1:24 pm
Racoon. Having a rat as a pet is just wrong. I couldn’t enjoy Ratatouille because everytime I saw the rat in the kitchen I had images of the Black Plague in my mind.
If you had to watch one Disney movie every week for a year what would it be?
May 16, 2008 at 7:46 pm
Ratatouille, but it wasn’t my choice. My baby daughter loves it!. I was disgusted at first when all the rats enter to the kitchen and start cooking.. my gosh ..just to imagine ..iacc. But now I just really appreciate that movie for keeping my baby quiet and calm at least for 20 minutes. That is the longest time she had spent watching tv in her whole life. My personal choose would had to be cars
It gives me a break.
Chinese or Japanese, what would be the culture you would adopt if this were the only options.?
May 17, 2008 at 11:07 pm
Japanese. Between my love of sashimi and tea gardens and karaoke, etc., I’ve just always been a bit of a Japanophile.
Which might be covered in more greasepaint: Liberace’s rhinestone g-string or Elton John’s Feather Boa-boots?
May 20, 2008 at 4:34 pm
Okay, don’t be mad. This has nothing to do with Whatever Wednesday, but I just wanted to let you know that I’ve tagged you for the 6 word memoir meme. Because I really want to know what you have to say. Not that you’re obligated or anything. Oh, I HATE tagging people for these things! Still, I think your answer would be interesting/funny so I hope you write one =)
May 21, 2008 at 12:32 pm
Girl, it’s been almost a week. How’s that snuff box of yours healing? I hope you’re ok, just busy.
May 29, 2008 at 7:45 pm
OK PEOPLE- Somehow these got out of order- SCROLL DOWN AND FIND YOUR NAME ALL 30 times.
Sabrina- Steve broke his toe when he was a kid. It’s his pinky toe. His mom never took him to a doctor. We now call it his piggy back toe, because it rides piggy back on the toe next to it!
Colleen- LOVED Remington Steele. LOVED. IT.
Christina- Yeah, Indy is HOT.
Nemma- Can sarcasm be around WITHOUT the temper? Because if not? I gotz a problem… ;D
Fab- Seriously? What the hell are you talking about?
Jesse- EW and Ew. I don’t food bathe. ;P
Nemma- I LOVE Scrubs. I’ll be so sad if it’s not renewed.
Colleen- I don’t remember who Traci Lords is either.
Mother Hen- See? THAT is why you need to take Karate.
Person- You know? I can’t think of anyone I look up to. I’m too cynical. lol.
Sandi- It’s ok, people break rules.
The whole point is to engage in conversation, which people are doing if they answer multiple questions. I won’t take anyone out back and beat them. Ok, maybe I will. But not over this. ;D
Jesse- You already know that I don’t care about the gay thing. But I guess some people have a problem with it.
Sabrina- Which one could I kill faster? Hmmm. Probably the rat.
Colleen- Probably Finding Nemo. lol.
Sabrina- Japanese. Between the Karate and Sushi? I’m all good.
Beth?!?! GROSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Person- Someone else tagged me for that and I couldn’t fricken think of six fricken words! ARGG!
L- Thanks. It’s better.
May 30, 2008 at 3:23 pm
Okay, for all those who don’t know who Traci Lords is – underage porn star of the ’80s. She was in an episode of Roseanne in the early ’90s when she was trying to become legitimate actress.
So, to recap, a guy bought 12 hours of workout videos and I am betting my wardrobe it was because one of the videos had Traci Lords as the lead instructor. Not to say that she doesn’t look good. My 2 year old son went around saying her name for 2 days after watching her.
June 1, 2008 at 8:07 pm
YAH! That’s who I thought it was! LOL!!!!!!
October 15, 2008 at 12:31 pm
