—here’s what happened to me when things were actually going smoothly. My advice? Go straight to the ER, even if the pain isn't hitting you that hard yet. Trust me, once that inflammation settles and everything cools down, you’ll be climbing the walls trying to escape the agony.

Yeah, I felt pretty stupid too 🙄

Anyway—what are the strongest painkillers you can actually pick up over the counter here?

Casey Palmer5 said:Where did they cast you, and how long did they say you'd be stuck in it?

vz, about 2-3 weeks.

But an edit: by around 4:30 AM I was already losing it from the pain—I was joking that they should just bring me some shears and a saw, then after fighting it for a solid hour and a half, I just cut myself out.

God, the relief was unreal.😎 I called 911, and the guy tells me it looks like they messed up the application entirely.😠 :2up: 🙂

My doctor told me to wrap it up and rest, otherwise things could get messy. It still hurts, but it’s twenty times better than being in that cast. Before, when I finally got it off, my arm was completely swollen and my shoulder was bright red.🙄

Cheers to those "brilliant" doctors.👎

I guess... my shoulder popped out (probably because five different surgeons couldn't get their act together 🙄), and now I'm strapped into this waist-high cast 😕. I honestly thought they’d just pop it back in and call it a day—but apparently, everything has to be a massive ordeal 👎

So, please—recommend some actual heavy-duty painkillers. My doctor suggested Voltaren or Advil or whatever other useless crap
—but nothing "standard" touches this pain.
I can't sleep, I can't walk, I can't even sit... basically, I'm just sitting here at my desk losing my mind and wondering if I should just go back and demand they rip this damn cast off. Before they put it on, it just hurt when I lifted my arm, but now? It feels like someone is taking a knife to my joints 🙂

So you're the one who posted that Amazon review, huh?

Look, let's be real—Grease-style, this is strictly for teenage girls. If you're a guy, honestly, just steer clear. It’s basically Dirty Dancing: Patrick Swayze plays this misunderstood greaser with a heart of gold but a shady reputation, and Baby falls for him despite what her parents think—she discovers love, life, blah blah blah. But seriously, if you're a man, stay away. It's painful. I still have nightmares about being eleven years old when the neighborhood girls practically kidnapped me and forced me to sit through this thing ten times in a row. That kind of torture is like getting the death penalty ten times over. Avoid this trash.

Ethan Williams5 said:Using earplugs is like trying to enjoy a concert through a thick wall—you lose all the soul. You miss the actual punch of the sound and that raw vibration—it just kills the whole experience.

👍 Exactly.

Look, you can just stay home and use a remote to control the volume—it's really that simple. 🙄

We’re doing pretty great 😬—honestly, only Minardi can even come close to our level 😬

Carol Ortiz4 said:It’s not 15kg—it's actually a bit less than 5kg...
Doesn't the rulebook clearly state that the car ALONG WITH all its fluids and fuel has to hit 600kg??

I'm thinking it's without fuel—since they mentioned draining the main tank first to get things back to normal, and then losing another 6kg once they cleared out that "reserve" tank.

And that weight includes the driver too.

''In addition to scrutineering, cars are also weighed throughout the Grand Prix weekend to ensure that they comply with minimum weight requirements (currently 600kg including driver, except during qualifying when it is 605kg ). During practice and qualifying cars are called in at random to be weighed. After the race every car and driver is weighed.''

[SIZE=0,5]4) the car will then be weighed with driver (and without driver if necessary) and the result given to the driver in writing;

d) No substance may be added to, placed on, or removed from a car after it has been selected for weighing or has finished the race or during the weighing procedure. (Except by a scrutineer when acting in his official capacity). [/SIZE]

BAR (or whatever they're calling themselves now) filed an appeal because they’re worried about facing an even steeper penalty if things don't go their way—plus, they've got a six-month suspension hanging over them, though they won't actually serve it for another year.

As for the agencies, I highly doubt any of them will make the cut—Universum is basically a closed shop, and while maybe someone from CK could sneak in, I’m not holding my breath.

The one who organizes trips for the local auto club is handling it, so if there are any openings left, she might just squeeze herself in.

Joe Biden said:By the way, regarding tickets—I’m looking at their pricing right now. General admission is running about $70-$90, and then you've got "stands" starting at $160 and up.
(I assume "stands" means the grandstands, and general admission is just standing in some fields or grass nearby? 🙂)

🤔 Look, general admission has stayed around $50 for years and hasn't budged—and they aren't talking about standing in some random field 😂 when they say that. It's actually right along the track—specifically in the hairpin turns—usually just a few feet away from the action. 😉

This Formula 1 season is going to be a total blast

😁

Damson said:If you’re looking to get out of New York City, check out www.universum.hr—they're an agency that handles trips to a ton of races... and starting this season, they'll even be heading to Atlantic City... uh...

Universum is gone, which is a total disaster because they had the best deals—now the agency that took over doesn't even organize race trips. 🙄

If you're headed to Malta, I'd suggest Monza instead. Just drive, grab a few friends, and go. It's not far, flights are cheap—like $50—and honestly, you can see way more from the sidelines there than those people stuck in the grandstands.

happy birthday 🙂 😉

Ford said:Nah, I didn't believe it.
And even if I did—trust me, I wouldn't be celebrating...

Same here.

☕Hey man, what's the deal—are they going on strike at the local plant?

The auto club is total garbage 👎

urbanmoose3 said:... but honestly, let them enforce the rules and slap him with a ten-second penalty... it's just pointless..

The rule is simple—if you clip the wall, or the barrier, you take a ten-second hit—and he wasn't even the only one penalized today.

Jack Kelly5 said:It seems to me even Michael Schumacher didn't really impress... If anyone deserves the credit here, it’s Sébastien Loeb—he was absolutely crushing Marcus Grönholm in both the Xsara and the 306. Honestly, he almost wiped out little Finc in Modena too.

Like I said before, things went pretty smoothly for Michael and the Americans since they just rolled in from the States that morning without any practice, whereas everyone else had been grinding through practice sessions for a day or two.

Where the hell are you going with that?😁

College 😉 and obviously a driver's license too 😁
