cyclops, I'm confused. Are you talking about bridge with the cards? What is basket play and what is the rolling ball? :-| Thanks.

That's horrific. I'm so incredibly glad to live in Canada...

There's a bunch of videos I can't watch online (for no good reason) and need a proxy for. I can't participate in any good contests. Having anything shipped to me, when possible (which is rather rare) costs $30 extra.

But dammit, when I break my finger I get medical attention within the day and it's free.

But in Canada you have to pay tax, even if you are rich.

U.S. current medical system is far better than that of Canada.
Problem is that we are changing slowly in to that of Canada.

reason why i can not go to any doctor is because i work in Military.
i will need 3 separate referals which take time to get approved. (one week usually)

FYI,
I am scheduled to have surgery tomorrow.. pray for me please.
but it already healed wrong..bent. :(
they will need to break it again.....
i will put update after the surgery.

Good luck with your surgery! I hope you`ll be grinding out the hot riffs and cool licks again very soon.

Hey Magicwand, you can hear a couple of my efforts at soundcloud.com/threecoloursjones My guitar playing is still very sloppy and my voice is a rough as a badger`s bottom...

I`m sure you`ll recover just fine, but remember that Django Reinhardt, Tony Iommi and Jack White have all done more than brilliantly despite some heavy duty finger injuries.

Hope you heal quickly.

No understanding of what is now, no knowledge of what will be.
