Thank you for sharing all these past memories related to computer. Instead of having a PC at home, I used to go a few Internet Cafes to surf net.

My favourite cafe is the one in Stamford Road, Capitol Building, near to City Hall MRT. It was called Chill Cafe. I could spend whole afternoon there.

Once upon a time, I was chatting with \"an middle age man\" in ICQ, then \"the man\" suddenly said he knew I was inside an Internet cafe in Stamford Road. I was so scared and left the cafe immediately.

MrsK, how is your pain these days? Walking, unless too painful, helps. Assuming one has a reasonable good gait and decent footwear.
Personally, I was managing plantar fasciitis thru some foot exercises, better fitting shoes ( gave up on sandals/slippers) and foot massages, and controlling my walking distances .

What got me over it was a coincidence. A side effect of reducing inflammation - mainly thru diet - drastically reducing sugar ( no sweets/desserts and reducing carbs) . Now I can go for long walks like 15-20 km, cycle 1-2 hrs , with feet tired but no pain.

Sun, I thought I was recovering..then the other day after walking I felt the lain again. When I had it worst, I could feel pain when I got up from sitting position..like got water retention too. Now the pain is more on after walking. I will walk again maybe 2moro see how it goes.

Btw, is walking good for plantar sufferer? I don't know I just dont want to aggravate the inflammation.. carbo arh...yalor I ate rice as in full bowl rice more than last time..sugar I think I m quite in control..any idea if peanut butter will aggravate the condition..I just finished 1 tub..I have craving again waiting to go supermkt to buy.

Your walking distance 15-20km 1 session arh???

:rotflmao: no wonder you are \"floppy (disk)\"!

TBH, I have no idea what ASL is also, though I started playing MS-DOS games after my PSLE! I had an IBM computer at home and joined Computer Club in Sec 1. We learnt DOS commands and Lotus 123 to draw circles and all kinds of geometric shapes. You must remember Alley Cat, Tapper, J-bird MS-DOS games?

I recall typing out my holiday assignments already in Sec 4 and JC using my dot matrix printer.
And somehow I was able to email the overseas universities and hotels to make booking, around the time when Singaporeans were able to apply for a PACIFIC NET account! My first email was [email protected] I think?? And instead of Goodle Chrome, we had NETSCAPE. Later there was IE and Firefox and so on...

Really bring back a lot of memories!

Yes really do bring back memories… the dialling up onto the phone line. We played Golden Axe and Romance of the three kingdom using a floppy disk.

Not regular session, I am just an ageing aunty -- may be 1-2 times a month - like join groups on hikes or me and DH go. But when I had plantar fasciitis under control, I could not even do 8 km - would pain the next days. I was just saying I am able to walk longer distances now.

What I meant is once the inflammation was controlled, the pain just doesnt reoccur. Before I felt I was managing plantar fasciitis ie- as long I didnt strain, as long as I had the high arch support footwear, as long as I diligently exercised the foot, I was ok. But after working on my diet, the inflammation reduced. so even though I dont do the above , my pain doesnt come back. But sticking to the food restrictions is a pain - no added sugars especially for one with a sweet tooth like me. I even cut down on dry fruits or take moderate serving of fruits because eventually sugar is sugar, even natural ones in fruit.

It's not going to be caused by food in that kind of one-off consumption. If food might be the cause, it will be from long consumption over a period of time, and indirectly through inflammation, as Sun mentioned above.

For remedies, read the page below for advice. It does not recommend stopping walking, although you should probably stop once you feel much pain. But from my experience, the pain generally wears off after a few steps, and stretching before walking will prevent the tightness that causes the pain.

Golden Axe! My favorite. And I was hooked onto Romance of the three kingdoms but I don't remember it well.

Then there's Civilisation which we installed on the PCs in MINDEF to play. So when there was an audit by the security team, the computer was flagged for violations because there were many \"The secret of writing has been discovered\" or \"The secret of horse-riding has been discovered\" and other \"secrets\"!

It seems so primitives' by today's tech. But had it's own thrill ...

Thanks Sun, I got to pay attention to my diet then. Your walking distance I don't think I can achieve or even try. That is going to break my leg.

And I google..15k steps is around 16km. My dh during a period been telling me he has been walking 15k steps..I didn't know that is around 16km..but not me lor..I walk 1.5km to supermarket and 1.5km back home..that is enough esp when under hot sun.
