I’m the hip laberal tear girl. Wanted to let you know it wasn’t anything super exciting that happened to cause the injury. I’m thinking plain old overuse (running and/or lifting). Interestingly, the surgeon did ask me if I had/was supplementing with creatine, which I thought was an odd question. He said he’s seeing a correlation between creatine usage and hip laberal tears due to the joint being overloaded. Just his opinion. He did say I’d probably never heavy squat again. I’m taking that “probably never again” as a “yes I will”!

Thanks for the review of Canadian history, Dr. Fass. Let me fill in some details:

The US and Canada were both ruled by England.
The US ended that by fighting a war
Canada ended it by having a meeting

The US is based on “Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness”
Canada is based on “Peace, Order, and Good Government”

The US wrote a bunch of cool historical documents like “The Declaration of Independence” and “The Bill of Rights” and stored them for all to see.
Canada wrote a document called “The British North America Act” and sent it to England until 1982.

In the US, “The West Was Won”
In Canada, “The West Was Negotiated”

In the US, western towns started with a jail, a saloon (with prostitutes), and usually a bad guy land baron.
In Canada, western towns started with a Hudson’s Bay Company trading post, NWMP Fort, Bank, and Canadian Pacific Railway office.

and anyone who thinks Canadians are invariably polite really needs to watch a hockey game live….. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfIpOXxZV8k
