John, sorry about your spine injury I had spine surgery last year and know it is not funny I have met Caf and know he really did not mean to be cruel he was just trying to be funny but sometimes it can come across as hurtful to those of us that have suffered such pain.I hope you are on the mend It took a good 6 months for me to feel better.. just do not add stress to yourself sometimes with the medication we tend to be more sensitive trust me he meant no harm Get well soon V

Vickie's exactly right.  My "comment" (it was, after all, just a subject line long!) was meant to be a humorous reference to the burning-dick story, not your plight.  Your original post, in fact, did not reveal the seriousness of your situation, in order to alert me to "stay off it," and given the fact that you were on the computer posting, looking to get laid, just 12 hours after your surgery, perhaps you can see why I didn't pick up on the depth and intensity of your feelings.

Anyway, no offense intended (although I cannot promise that my "nonsense" will stop--that would leave me with nothing to say at all!)

Send a charity donation to OverCaffeinated, he'll send you back a TER mug or shirt.  Then you'll have a souvenir of the party you had to miss, and you'll have a reason to be in good holiday spirits!
