When will those Turkies ever develop the minimal self-awareness and personal honesty to φess↑ and admit that they really do care a helluva lot more about Who Writ Wot than Wot Who Writ?

It would really save us all a heap o' grief if'n they did.

Is this an improvement?

Range blocks are usually implemented by paranoid admins due to the terrible affliction of sockophobia. It serves a purpose to blame WP's ailments on socks, the "big bad wolf syndrome". Too little too late.

PS, not editing much lately due to multi-spinal-fractures from fall doing some charity work. Slowly on the mend.

We disagree on much. But I suspect you and I will agree with the hope for your speedy recovery.

Proof that no good deed goes unpunished. If you're up there in Ireland you doubtlessly need vitamin D while healing from fractures. Your doctors, who probably aren't naturopaths, will not suggest this. Buy some, take it (unless you have kidney stones), and hang in there.

Best Wishes.

And calcium. I send you the traditional Hebrew greeting Refuah shelemah (may you have a perfect healing).

Sometimes I do Devil's advocate, and like you I used to love WP. British/Irish disputes eventually turned me out of the place. I still think Wikipedia is doomed as a true/neutral/trustworthy encyclopaedia. Sad, since so much effort has gone into it.

I do practice naturopathy on and off, and no doubt it has helped me endure my fall onto sharp objects in an empty swimming-pool. Kidney got a right bust up too. I have seen naturopathy cure the big-C, and it's an instant remedy for heart failure. I could write books about it. The medical profession won't practice it for it would change the whole nature of medicine.

I think Guinness has some calcium, Cheers/Slainte.

Thanks everyone, got the all clear today, nothing longterm, maybe a brace, will know next week.

I thought it was Mi sheberach? That's always what was said at my shul (Incidentally, the prayer we would use says both Mi sheberach and refuah shelemah. I can barely transliterate hebrew, let alone translate, so I have no idea what the difference is).

Mi sheberach means "He who blessed", and is the opening of several prayers, for example for someone who is about to get married or who has just had a baby. The phrase refuah shelemah is of course only used in the one for a sick person.

I have to run off and do some errants right now, but I've been meaning to return to this point in the thread, as I think that we observe here one of the deepest cracks in the foundation of Wikipediot fun-dementalism, one of the reigning hypocracies in the whole mindset of Wikipedism.


Later …

Thanks. I didn't pay attention to pretty much anything in hebrew school, and stopped going at around 15.
