5. My torn Achilles tendon in my right heel.
I hear that Reagan had one too at one time but he could afford to get it fixed, while I have to be strong and suffer with it.

:rofl:

9. I totally blew out my left AT playing volley ball a few years ago...
Dang, that took a while to rehab. But back to playing hard now :) And I had to have it fixed - my foot just dangled there without it.

Best wishes with yours!

15. Mine is not that bad.
I have lived with my for over ten years. It happened right before I lost my job and health insurance. I have a bone spur which grew to feel the space. :shrug:

Stairs are just pretty much out of the question. I have gotten to the point that if it doesn't hurt, I just ignore it. :nopity:

8. In the respect that
your heel, being an Achilles heel is a thing to discuss for Americans and especially the middle class. Also, The middle class and Americans and John McCain discuss heels and Achilles heels to reform government - also what do expect from mavericks?

I think I'm officially sleep-deprived. Which leads me to nap like Ronnie Ray-gun.

14. I'm too perfect.
Edited on Fri Oct-03-08 02:11 AM by HereKittyKitty
The ultimate Achilles Heel, I tell ya. No matter how hard I try, I am unable to find a single flaw in myself. It's a terrible disadvantage.

And my executive experience really weighs me down. Oh, wait, that's SP's Achilles heel! OOPS!


(Edited to play down my perfection a bit)

21. Do you think she really didn't know what it meant?
I find that hard to believe. I think she just evaded the question.

But, maybe she didn't. When you only read enough to "get by" certain references just go over your head.

22. She knew exactly what it meant, but followed bush's "no mistakes ever made" pattern.
