Hi, flist! *waves* I've been MIA for the past few days because I haven't been able to leave my bed. Ugh. I've been so seriously sick and I'm still not completely past it. The fever, sore throat and swollen glands I've had for the past 4 days have taken pain and suffering for me to a whole new level. Every time I swallow it feels as if razor blades are sliding down my throat. Lovely, I know. My diet consists of warm broth, popsicles and water. On the bright side, maybe I lost a little weight. Ha.
On another note, after watching this past Thurday's SPN episode, there has been lots of talk (and giggling and poking fun) about seeing Jensen's bowlegs in tight polyester shorts. It was quite amusing and I laughed along with you all until I was curious as to how someone becomes bowlegged (and being boinked by Jared was not one of the reasons/options, lol) so I researched it on Wikipedia. And OMG....now I'm sad. :o( I had no idea how serious this condition is or could become.
"Those with bowlegs and a genetic predisposition for developing arthritis will likely start having arthritic symptoms around age 30." Read the full Wikipedia article here.
I realize that most of what is discussed is a generalization and may not apply for all people with bowlegs and that some cases are much more extreme than others. But after reading the Wikipedia article and hearing Jensen say in an interview that the body part he least likes of himself are his legs, I feel really badly for poking fun or even for loving his bowlegs. I know, Jensen just wouldn't be Jensen without his bowlegs, but I can't look at them anymore without having the overwhelming feeling to hug the guy to pieces. :o(
Anyway, it's good to be back, flist. I hope to be back at 100% operational capacity soon. ;o)

I am glad you're feeling better - a sore throat is a miserable thing.

Oh gosh, Jensen has the most adorable bowlegs on the planet, lol! But after reading about the cause and effect of bowlegs, it makes me feel bad for him now. :(
And yes, a sore throat is a miserable thing. I'm sooo ready to be over it.
