Dear MMP, Should you consider physical therapy successful if after 4 weeks your knee makes crunching noises when it never did so before? :rolleyes: Sincerely, Sticks ---

However, the main reason I answered your question is because it reminds me of a quote: _Meddle not in the affairs of dragons for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup._ BTW the correct answer is Ol’ _Y’all_ Know Who. 😛 Anybody remember the original acronym? Mexican food has been ingested. We both had taco sallits and it was good. ---

Speaking of Mexican food, there is a taco truck that parks a couple of blocks from my house, I had the most awesome burrito, beef fajita refritos y salsa fresca. Nummmmm That is all **JIM** ---

> [@swampbear](#): > > Anybody remember the original acronym? ACBG? Iggy certainly is sweet and angelic looking but he’s a hellion. He decided he didn’t want to be outside any more (after an abusive 5 minutes) so he took a flying leap at the glass door. Amazingly enough, there were no bitchy meltdowns at work today. I do like my job but there are 2 very high strung women who don’t much like each other and I can pretty much guarantee that at least one of them will throw a shit-fit at least once a day. Today was not too bad though. ---

**ShortDrum** wins a cookie! The first person to say what ACBG stands for wins two cookies! Oh and **ShortDrum** I would imagine a vet’s office would be rife with bitchy meltdowns. 😃 ---

I know what it stands for!!! I don’t wanna hog all the cookies though. The question is why I know since it was before my time in the MMP. Amazingly enough, bitchy meltdowns only seem to come from the humans at the clinic. The fuzzy bitches are remarkably well behaved. ---

> [@VunderBob](#): > > Why not? > > Oh. It has to do with squad politics… What makes bambilance stations so full of BS poly-tics (& incompetents who _think_ they know it all)? Dindin was pasta with beerminated grilled frimpsh. Recipe: Put frimpsh in small bowl. Open beer & pour ½ into bowl; pour other ½ into you. 😃 Lather, rinse, repeat (except since the bowl is already filled with beer, better to pour the entire second one into you). This is why you place them in a _small_ bowl! 😃 😃 It was nummy! Do NOT marinate frimpsh in Raspberry vinaigrette. While it’s tasty, the raw shrimp pick up the color of said raspberry vinaigrette & turn the color of cooked shrimp before you start cookin’ 'em. :smack: ---
