Could this be a stress fracture?




I’m a cross country runner, and I’ve had extremely bad shin splints this season. I went to a doctor who did muscle treatment, and it really helped my shin splints, but now my left hip and thigh are in a lot of pain. My doctor thought that I was maybe overcompensating for my shins, and that’s what’s caused the pain. He thinks it might be a stress fracture, but told me to wait a week to see if anything changes. Today I couldn’t even finish practice it hurt so bad. About two weeks ago, my hip started hurting after I ran, and after sitting down for a long time. Now it hurts to even walk on it, and hurts even more both at the beginning and the end of a run. I’m in constant pain, even when I sit down. And I’ve been having pain in my thigh too. When I sit on a higher chair, like a bar stool, I get this shooting/pinching pain towards the inside of my left thigh. I have no idea what’s going on, but I was just wondering what you think it could be. Thanks!

How can I take this chair apart?




Okay sorry, this is hard to explain so I’ll do my best…

I removed the seat of the chair no problem but I cannot figure out how to get the back off. There are no visible screws on the back to hold it to the frame.

The backs were clearly assembled into one piece *before* being put on the chair frame because the decorative brads (which I’ve removed) continue under the bars of the frame. Each bar has 2 "connection points" that I can’t tell what they are. There appears to be a washer along with what I assume is a screw.

I removed the brads just to check, but I still can’t get to whatever is holding the backs on. The brads only hold a piece of cardboard covered in vinyl to the back.

This is a kind of small picture, but this looks almost identical to my frame. (Don’t know if it’s helpful.)

So how do I take this thing apart? The vinyl is cracked very badly and needs to be replaced. Also, What is the name for the little feet on the chair legs and how do I remove these:

Two of the chairs have plastic caps on the feet and two have these things. I’d like them to all match. Thanks so much and 10 points for the best answer!!
And your answer, Adolph, is why idiots shouldn’t attempt to answer questions. Since you clearly don’t know the answer either, don’t waste my time.
It’s not really a problem if I have to cut through the vinyl/padding to get to the rivet since the padding needs to be replaced on a couple of the chairs anyway. If I do this, how can I remove the rivet? It feels like this must be doable because the website I linked to before sells this sort of frame to be used with the original seats and backs.

I wouldn’t think the feet are welded on just because half of the chairs don’t have them. Any other ideas anybody?

Male married older coworker's intentions?




My girlfriend and I are having issues about the intentions of a married older coworker. He’s married (55 year old), she is 32. She started this job about 4 months ago. The guy was the first one to send her a friend request on Facebook. He keeps sending her private messages on Facebook or by regular emails, one of them with inappropriate contents. He asked her once to get a drink at the cafeteria (at work). He plays in a band in bars and restaurants. He also keeps inviting her to those events. First time, I went to one of those events with her. Next day (Saturday) at 8:00 am, he sent her a message on Facebook, asking who I was and where she met me. Second time, in front of his own wife, he tried to show that he was very close to my GF (by laying on her chair at the bar etc….). He recently asked her to go hiking with him and his wife. Sometimes he is mentioning that his wife will be present. I think that he is trying to have her trust him until a day he will find her by herself with no wife around. She thinks that the guy maybe interested only in friendship. I think that there’s no point for a 55 yo married guy to look for friendship in a 32 yo single girl. I think my GF is being too naive! Am I wrong?
Please help with your answers!
Thanks a lot.

Ok, so my good friend just told me that she was abused by her stepfather when her mom and him first got married, she thinks her sister was abused as well…and the worst part is that her mother does not believe her at all.

So here’s the thing, the step-dad ran off about 5 years ago and got their mom’s social security and everything and he uses that to get credit cards and racks up the bills that they are forced to pay because it all goes to their house (and I guess she tried to get a divorce from this guy but he wasn’t there to sign the papers so…)

So this guy used to look at my friend naked all the time, he’d catch her in the shower. One time he even beat her over the head with the shower head. Another time he tied her up to a chair and shoved a bar of soap in her mouth, plugged her nose, and told her to swallow it if she wanted to breathe. That’s all she told me though…

I honestly don’t know what to do. Please help me (and I’m running out of characters to work with…)

Another Drunk!?




Please don’t take offense to this joke, it has no malicious intent!!

Blokes been drinking at a bar for hours, the barman turns to him and says that he has had too much and should go home.

The bloke creates a big fuss and gets one more drink.

After the last drink he attempts to get off the bar stool, and falls to the floor…… he hauls him self up and moves forward about a meter and falls to the floor again!!!

Luckly the bloke only lives 200m from the pub, however hard the bloke tries ever meter he falls to the ground… hauls himself up…. falls down….

Next morning the blokes wife brings him a cup of tea in bed and exclaims "you cirtainly had a few last night!!"

The bloke protests "No No, I only had a couple"

"Rubish!" Says the wife, "I know you had far to much last night because Larry the barman called…. says you’ve left your wheel-chair in the bar!!!"

What do you think about this rap song for Santa?




I just want you to know, I did not write the song. I just want opinions.

I was walking down the street
to my Escalade,
When I saw a little kid
Selling lemonade.
I asked him for two glasses
But he gave me three,
I asked him why was that
He answered: "When you buy 2, you get 1 for free.
So I kept on walking, to my car
When I stopped in my way, I saw a bar,
I entered with confidence, and guess who was there,
It was Homer Simpson, slouching on a chair.
I thought I was dreaming, but I soon found out
It was just a costume, without a doubt.
A little freaked out, I stepped outside,
And I saw my Escalade, it was all fried.
Blown to bits, that’s how it was
And that’s why I’m asking you, Santa Claus,
To give me a new car, I was nice all year
And while you’re at it, could you fetch me a beer?
You go ask Santa for a beer because the guy rapping said that he was nice all year, and now he wants Santa to get him a beer, which isn’t always the nicest…
