I received an e-mail from **Eve** (in the unintentional style of e. e. cummings) asking me to convey the following to the SDMB membership: > [@](#): > > eve faw down an go boom – which explains no caps. sidewalks again try to > kill my family – i did a keystone this morning and will not be able to use > my right – thank goodness not left – hand for a bit. can you please start > a mpsims thread explaining i am on the injured list, and am not ignoring > people – thanks – capt. hook There’s prob’ly nothing broken, just bruises and lacerations. She’ll be on temporary hiatus from posting, but she will be reading. ---

Aw, hang in there Eve. MPSIMS surely won’t be half as entertaining without your contribution. ---

Wow. Well, I’m glad to hear it’s nothing serious. Hope **Eve** recovers and is back to posting quickly. ---

Hope you have a speedy recovery! I guess this means a posponement of a resolution in the floor varnishing thread? Be careful from now on! ---

See, aren’t you glad now that you’re not employed as a defensive tackle or some other job where a four point stance would be required? Sorry about your fist and phalanges, **Eve** , and hope that your quick recovery is painless as well. ---

Sorry to hear that, hope you make it back soon. Hey I’ve seen art painted by people using feet or even their mouth. Just a thought 😉 ---

Well, if she’s still acerbic enough to submit a witty e-mail like that, she must not be too hurt. 😉 Best wishes and speedy recovery, **Eve**. ---

Do get well soon, **Eve**. If you don’t mind, I’ll be praying for your speedy recovery. In the interim, you could stop “doing” Dorothy Parker for a while, and essay a few Don Marquis-esque works. 😉 ---

I think we should take up a collection to get **Eve** an ice axe and a pair of crampons so she can avoid these sorts of accidents in the future. She also needs a climbing partner who can belay her when she mounts the curb. ---

Feel better soon **Eve**. I’ve been there and it hurts. May I suggest a brace of Martinis and a masseur named Jorge? (My preference would be root beer and a masseuse named Helga, but to each his/her own.) 🆒 ---
