Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 81: Trickle-Down Lodganomics

How many stairs? How big / how high? If there's only like three steps, I could see that being called a stoop since it's not really big enough to be called "stairs" and isn't covered / can't be called a porch. Although I'd probably just refer to them as "the front steps".

Yes, those would be called steps.

I dunno. 3-5 maybe? And yes, I agree, with the details that he gave later on, I'd agree with "the front steps."

A picture from my evening last night. About 6 pm last night, was out trying to give a horse some wormer right before we feed them last night. Mare didn't want anything to do with "Yummy Treat" we wanted to shove into its mouth. She threw a fit and reared up, and when she came down, either her teeth or her jawbone there caught me on top of my head and knocked me almost down to the ground. I stood up and started to balance myself and mom starts babbling about going to the hospital. I then notice that there was red stuff running down my face. Anyways, mom got me over to Herrick Hospital in Tecumseh. I must have been an impressive sight to see with a bloody face holding a maxi pad to the top of my scalp there. Mom keeps a box of them out in the barn for the boarders. Anywho, they gave me a tetanus shot and then shipped me off for a CAT scan. Was kinda grossed out when I looked up there and saw that there was some dried blood on the ceiling there. Then they waited around a bit and then they got around to numbing me up and putting some staples in. Eleven total there now. CAT came back and said nothing was broken in my head or neck, but odds were good that I might have a slight concussion. Considering that I just had a 1200+ pound animal clunk me on top of the head, I was pretty lucky.

Anywho, went to the Chiropractor this afternoon and they could barely move me. Normally, once I relax a bit, I'm popping and cracking. Today, maybe just a pop. Anywho, they did some other stuff with electrical stim and ultrasound, seemed to make the neck feel better for a bit. go back friday for some more treatment to try to keep ahead of it.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 81: Trickle-Down Lodganomics

FWIW, I also think you could have a stoop on a farm in addition to the ghetto and the south. Just like they have "cellars" instead of "basements".

And if it's 3-5 and doesn't go up that much (i.e. a couple feet or so), then they'd be called "front steps". Sorry MNS, that just doesn't qualify as a "stoop" or a "porch".

And Brent, that problem is totally bizarre. Swelling is something I wouldn't associate with a migraine (then again maybe you just described it to me improperly / too vaguely). The loss of muscle control would certainly point toward those three conditions though.

I'll concede the farm point, sure.

I grew up on a farm. We had a front porch and a back porch. But no stoop. Goddammit, we owned enough land. We built a porch.

2 steps, not very high..

Then they're just "front steps".

I visualize "stoop" as a set of stairs with a smallish landing at the top - physically big enough for a lawn chair, but not if anyone wants to use that door. And yeah, I did usually hear it in relation to farms.

Proof the world is going to end soon: I of all people was able to find common ground on this very divisive topic.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 81: Trickle-Down Lodganomics

Ralph... if you see this post tomorrow... can you rattle off some names of the local annoying furniture sellers... I'm having a hard time finding local furniture locations selling along the lines of what i'm looking for (for the boston market I'm looking along the lines of Bobs, Rotmans, and Jordan's)... I may just get something up here later next week and send it along with the rest of my things. I'd rather get something in the dc area.

I wish I could be of help, but first of all, I have no knowledge of the three stores in Boston that you mentioned, and secondly I usually tune out ads when I hear them. The annoying place that I bought furniture at when I came here is long out of business.

**** reading 4 pages of your sillyness, I;m drunk, and life is grand. Quite Possibly the best night of drinking evar for me so far, omg so many good stories and pictures that cannot be shared, ever. talk sometime after noon probably, if I'm not comatose by then.

Morning Lodge.

I can't wait until I move to my house and can sit out on the stoop.

I grew up on a farm. We had a front porch and a back porch. But no stoop. Goddammit, we owned enough land. We built a porch.

Which is why I'm confused by the stoops are in the South thing. Southerners have porches, they've got the room.

MI is borderline. I think Midwest, I think the 5-state area. IL, KS, NE, are also along the lines of MI, too. Could be either or.

ummm.....no. Try adding IL, MI, OH. Midwest

Holy crap monster!!!!!

Glad it turned out OK, overall, but that's quite the wound on your head!

Afternoon Lodge. I've been invited back to the office tomorrow at 9 AM to discuss the main project I'd be working on in a more casual setting. Sounds like I might have the job.

Good on you!

Your divot was obviously the most exciting post on the last pages. I can't believe pages on stoops, porches and steps. Sleeping is underrated by some of you

The pathophys of a migraine includes swelling...off to TRP to read the gory details.

(why does TRP have interesting stuff and here have stuff about stoops?)

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE!! thursty thursd'y has arrived
