Back in march I had a bad motorcycle accident and since then I've really struggled with eating regularly.

Suggestions for SG with fractured ribs?

I fractured a rib last sunday riding my motorbike. Haven't done any SG since then, but my back is _really_ starting to play up. I think it's in sympathy to the rest of me? Anyways, one thing I know that fixes me up pretty quick is some nice SG workouts... however I am reluctant to do this what with ...

No stress mate, I honestly don't use icq much anymore anyways :)

Funny how systems lose popularity over time. I can still remember chatting with the guys who made icq, and now it seems like the place is just full of spammers and scammers.

For sweet push mowers, check out the Brill Luxus series, everything I've heard about these is that they kick major amounts of arse.

You can even get battery powered ones now so that the pushing is easy too!

one of the fellows I used to live with always put his change from a night out into a jar when he got home.

Just before I moved I helped him take it all down to the bank and have it counted. Final tally was over $1000 if memory serves. A hefty sum just from saving the shrapnel in your pocket!

it's been a few days now and I'm still going, so thats a good sign I suppose.

It's kinda odd, the one move I'm thinking about dropping is shovelling, it just doesn't seem to do anything for me. Not sure what to replace it with though?
