In the doctor's office saw "Outside" magazine's September '01 issue. May or may not be on the stands. Has a post-assasination look at Maoist use of the event to springboard further events. Didn't get a chance to stop and get a copy in Reno and the mag carried isn't carried out in the boondocks.

Got to Reno just in time to do a little looking around before seeing doctor but not quite enough to make it across town to the Cantina and back. And got out of doctors ofc. at 4:45 pm. Only two hours after I went in. Bone healing fine. Pin, however, got broken. Not taking it out til fully healed. In nine more months.

So no pictures of Sun, Moon, and Stars.
 
Rus, That thread on the Super Salyan didn't have anything to do with breaking that pin did it? Now this is your Mother talking you let that leg heal up proper before you run out and start chopping up logs. I don't know if you take any supplements or not but you should. I almost died of Bronchial pneumonia because of my stuborness not getting enough of the right stuff. I looked up what is needed for bone repair: Calcium 1000 mg, Magnesium 500 mg, Phosphorus 800 mg (you can probably find one tablet that contains all 3) Don't take any more calcium or you can get kidney stones and we all need that. Vitamins A and C are also important for bone formation. The other main item is protein, 160 grams. One large egg is 6 grms., 1/4 lb lean burger has 20 grams, 1 lb sirloin has 82 grams, 1/2 chicken breast 30 grms, 3 oz of tofu has 7.5 grms. Take care.
 
"The pin is broken, but the bone is healing fine".....That is purely a physical observation on the doctor's part, but why does it also appear to be a comment on character ? :D
 
Interesting observation, Wal.

Stayed home all day expecting you to show up, Rusty. I may have to take the DC and drive down to Hawthorne. And, alas, the Durba Sirupati is long gone.
 
After got out of doctor's office, made frantic dash for Sears, then another dash back across town to pick up a freezer at their warehouse on Glendale. Made it with 10 minutes to spare before closing time at 7 pm. 2 1/2 hour drive up and 2 1/2 hours back means 5 hours of the day is shot to start with. After Air races, will try to make a overnight trip and fit three days of shopping into two days instead of a half day.
 
Walosi, I've considered that and come to no real conclusion. It doesn't seem to state a "Truth" in that it doesn't appear to have congruence, usefulness or luminosity.

It does look suspiciously like there is something "out there" with a very low sense of tasteless slapstick humor ( something like Jewish, Cherokee, or Primary school K-3 ) trying to remind us He/She/It's out there.

In half-fun and full earnest,
 
Just seemed to indicate that some R.O.F.s are so incongruous that their bones will heal their own dam way, regardless of the intentions of osteopathy, modern meds, or nurses with mustaches :D

That was intended in full fun, regardless of howit was taken.....Sayonara
 
You could be right again, Rusty. You're just a tough old desert rat. I'm surprised you went to the doc at all and just didn't wire your leg up yourself like some I've known.
 
Actually my silhouette is closer to those of the Buddhas one generally sees in Asian restaurants. Roly-poly would be a kind way to put it.
 
:
If your hair was dark you would appear just like the rest of us skins that eat among oher things waaaayyyyy toooo mucccchhhhh Frybread.:D
Commods can actually be quite tasty when you get most of the older ndn ladies cookin'.
But the canned carp ain't one of them IMO.:D
And I never turn my nose up at commods when we visit a rez or even some of the urban ndns.
 
Hunkies call it "langos" ( long / oh / sh ) and rub cloves of fresh garlic on it. Mexicans call it sopapilla, and NDNs frybread. Grab it with paper towels as soon as it's drained a bit and rub that garlic on while it's still hot. Fresh garlic frybread. Try it and you'll end up burning yourself cause letting it cool takes too long.

Try chopping cabbage up about the size of ravioli, saute in couple strips bacon, add maybe a little onion, black pepper, and egg pasta pieces al dente broken to the same cooked size as the cabbage. Magyar soul food.

Or try cous-cous; orzo; or frog's eyes - any rice sized/shaped pasta fried dry in butter, stirring constantly til it's golden brown, then add boiling water. Called "tarhonya" in Hungarian, which translates to egg barley.

All poor man's food, but mouth watering to those raised on it. To quote Jeff Smith, the Frugal Gourmet, a friend of his thinks "... heaven must smell like an Italian kitchen, and if it doesnt, it ought to!" I'd add a Hungarian kitchen, a Chinese kitchen, Basque...
 
Since Rusty chose to ignore my nutritional info, I'll come over to his side of the chuck wagon, who has a good frybread recipe. Around here at large gatherings of people there are funnel cake stands, which is one form of fried bread. Usually put powdered sugar on it. Its not the most nutritional food but it sure is good.
 
Yvsa, What a terrific site. I'm going to try one of the frybread recipes this weekend. Also I've been into medicinal herbs since the late '60s and I'm always looking for new info on native american herbology. I always believed that you should use herbs from the area that you live in, they will be on the same "frequency" and be more effective than say a chinese herb meant for the same purpose. Thanks for turning me on to such a wonderful source. Gewi
 
I don't know the history of the recipe but both Indians (India) and Nepalis have their own versions of fry bread -- and it's good there, too.

Which reminds me of an embarrassing but rather funny incident when my land lady up at Swayambu gave me some fresh frybread and I tried to thank her in my fractured Nepali.
