    Good game last night for David against the Rangers. Painful for me to watch as a Ranger fan but I was glad to see him net one on the PP. Worked hard to draw a PP too.

    Regardless of my views on the tinted visor - it looked pretty slick, for what it's worth haha.

    Update on Haiti -

    My cousins are trying to get into the country through the DR - they just arrived today.

    One of my maternal aunts found my grandaunts (paternal) and got them water and whatnot. Unfortunately, they have been held up twice and lost whatever money and valuables they had on themselves. It's getting really nasty out there as people are panicking and people are looting.

    Incredible. I hope they are safe, it's got to be such a mess.

    My Coach had a Keenan moment last year at an away game. We lost bad and he made us run laps around their rink in all our equip - skates / helmets. The other team got a good laugh out of it. I forgot what the message from our coach was. Something about if we wanted to embarrass ourselves we don't have to stop when the game is over. t_t.

    Keep at it David. Too bad you're not visiting the Isles or Rangers this year. Might just have to pick up tickets for the game @ Jersey.

    I had to have an abscess drained from my mouth. The infection did it's damage though. 11 root canals. 4 are wisdom teeth thankfully, but it's still bad. None of the teeth in the front of my mouth so you can't tell. But it's been very annoying to eat. I've lost 6 lbs since the operation because I can't eat the same foods.

    Also I've only had half the operation done. They're drilling a piece of my jawbone out because the infection did it's damage there too.

    It's not a pleasant experience. I've had to sit out numerous hockey games and practices because I've been in too much pain, or on too many painkillers.

    I've missed so much class, it's been horrible trying to catch up.

    Did I mention I have a horrid needle phobia? Thankfully the doc gave me some happy pills to relax me on the night before / hours before the operation(s).

    Also my girlfriend is driving me insane.

    Did I mention I caught a slapshot with my hand at practice the other night? Catch a slapper with my hand but can't bring myself to get stuck with a little needle.

    Doctor cleared me for contact hockey just a few days after the operation...but said I probably shouldn't be on painkillers while I play. Go Figure :P

    11 hours in the ER. had to have an abscess drained, the abscess was in my groin.

    And in about a dozen less sentences, you still win :P. Hope everything is alright.

    edit: OH. The infection did so much damage because I've had it for quite a while. I never noticed because I never felt any pain until a few days before the first operation. oddly enough what prompted me to go see the dentist was my cheek swelling up for what seemed like no reason. The nurse said there are two highly likely causes for why I never felt the pain. Apparently a) I drank a ton of redbull in my teenage years. Apparently there's something common in energy drinks that kills nerve endings in your mouth, or something along those lines. Can't remember exactly what she said. Also B] I have had Arthritis since I was a child. Experimental medication when I was real young did damage elsewhere in my body, and could be linked there too.

    Oh man. I turn on the game to see a collision between David and Wellwood. Nasty hit he didn't see coming. Hope he's alright

    So you missed his two trips to the box? Both kinda weak calls.

    I caught the second one, very weak call. He didn't like it either by the looks of it.

    It wasn't just the behavior at the pedal. Call me crazy, but I adhere to the turbo stipulations about warmup and cool down times pretty stringently. Start the car, let it sit a minute and drive it like gramps until the temp gauge pops up into the warm section, let the car sit for a minute after having the car on the highway for more than 30 minutes or after driving hard around town where I'm red-lining it a bunch.

    Call me crazy or overprotective or whatever, but just the fear of running a cold turbo gets me to slow down. Plus my car shifts like piss and holds gears too high in the rev-range when I drive normally and it's cold.

    Revving any car high before it's properly warmed up is just plain not smart to begin with. I do the same and I'm 100% NA.

    My car will kick 2nd gear back into my face (during the winter) if I don't warm it properly. But that's a notorious problem with it.

    Bright lights create a 'starburst' effect across my eyes (I wear contacts) and have been recommended to try a tinted visor. I won't for numerous reasons. One being that I have made fun of kids wearing them for so long hah, the other that I don't trust peoples sticks so i stay with the full cage.

    Should just try different contacts, or maybe those Nike tinted contacts so I can fix my problem AND be a creep at the same time!
