Hmm, unless there was a concomitant ischemic or hemorrhagic attack (aka a stroke) that went along with the "minor seizure" this is absolutely no reason it would cause any sort of difficulty with expressing or understanding language. And if such an even truly did occur they should have the sense to at least call it what it is, a stroke. Faulty facts like that make it seem more than a little suspect.
So this one is a lot like dharmagrl's, but I love it anyway. Two guys walk into a bar. One turns to the other and says "You didn't see it either?"
OB/Gyn is actually next, I just have a week and a half off before it starts. Hopefully I can make the transition as easily as possible. One thing I have learned though is this. Having children is like being on call every night. You never know when you are going to be awoken. So in that regard the transition to call hasn't been too hard.
So spring break has begun. I am done with my 90+ hour weeks at the hospital, for a few days at least. And I was overjoyed last night to think that finally I could sleep in. In fact I was so excited to sleep in that I decided that, since I was here alone, I would stay up late, play some computer games, and then just sleep late. And I did. It was a blast.
From what I have seen dharmagrl I have no doubt you will continue to overcome your trials with grace and poise. Thank you for the inspiration.
I certainly hope the news is good dharmagrl! It is tragic, though, that your doctor wasn't open with you about the reason for the test. In the medical field I fear that far too often we think we are "protecting" our patients by withholding information, when in fact we are undermining our relationship with them. Of course the course of action will be different with each person, but I know that for myself, I plan on having a strong enough relationship
Ugh, that is my fear.
Supernova IV The explanation of that singular event is beyond the scope of my scientific knowledge. The result, however, was understood by people throughout the known galaxies. It was a declaration of war. Military scientists understood what had happened, something akin to our own matter-anti-matter technology. Apparently they had a
This year's Idol is a little strange to me. I like to watch the show, but I really think that it is missing something without Clay Aiken in the competition. (I miss Carmen and Julia too.) This year, I am mildly rooting for Diana or LaToya; but nobody has really "caught my imagination." I agree 100%. I
Well, maybe I just don't understand the purpose of JoeUser, but it seems to me that I can say whatever I want. Oh absolutely. Perhaps we misunderstood each other. I didn't realize you were talking about here. I was talking about real time, day to day interaction with those around me. You know, the r
I have no problem with people liking "cheap wine". I certainly like the occassional cookie-cutter pop song myself. The key is recognizing it as such. And I have complete respect for anyone who is willing to admit that most pop music is rather formulaic and simple. That doesn't preclude it from being good. What raises my hackles is when folks do as they did here, criticize me for stating the Avril is, in fact, "cheap wine". Oh, a
I suppose with me it all depends on who does the asking and the situation it is in. There are tons of people who ask me how I am doing and I know for fact that it is just a formality, just a way to kick start the conversation. Do I answer them honestly? Heavens no. They don't really want to know and what good is it going to do me to unload on an unsympathetic ear? None as I see it. But to those who ask sincerely, hoping to know, I try to
One of these days I will actually crack the top 100. But the going is slow. Meh, that's fine though. Congratulations to you!
and they're not interested in the truth... You hit the nail on the head there. Truth, while a wonderful, powerful entity, can also be terribly, terribly frightening.
I had an incredibly surreal experience on this site just a few minutes ago. An experience that not only shocked me, but worried me very deeply. Someone informed me that I didn't have "the right " to post negative comments about a pop artist because she has so many fans. I was, and still am, appalled. The notion that because something is popul
Hmm, well it would appear that someone else jumped in as I was compossing my last post. I will answer it as succinctly as possible. I so agree with Angel. I don't think that BlueDev has any right to talk trash about Avril when other fans love her so much. Ah, so the secret here is that because
Ah, I did not realize that personal tragedy in an "artist's" life (for which I truly am sorry) demanded that I buy into the idea that they have talent. If she has had this tragedy in her life I extend my sympathy, as one who can understand the pain of such a loss. But that tragedy does not change my opinion in the least. No, I am not going to say that H

hmmm...Captain Obvious, yet not quite original. Ah, I see that you too are a master of the obvious. You learn well grasshopper.

Well, not to toot my own horn, but I do have a rather astounding grasp of the obvious. And as such announce myself as. . . 'Captain Obvious'! Yep, pretty cool, eh?
Supernova III Pacifica had been tracking an anomalous energy signature through Cronos Prime, and energy signature quite like the matter-anti-matter propulsion we had developed. It was anomalous in that it was similar enough to fool our equipment into thinking it was a vessel of ours, but human observation failed to corroborate the electronic as
Ah, thanks for sharing. Engrish is one of my very favorite websites, but one I forget to go back and check far too often. Thanks for the reminder Teegs!
Fun article to read Capt. Cheese is a wonderful thing isn't it? Oh, and to anyone interested in taking the online IQ test-be warned that IQ measures neuronal development as it primarily tests the rate of transmission, and becomes very, very useless as one is past their formative years. So, unless you are younger than about 15-16 it doesn't really mean too much. I always enjoy reading your articles Capt., and this one was no differen
Supernova part II We pushed, pushed, pushed. Finally we met the Gorans. We thought they would be pathetic pushovers just like all the rest. Our first contact with them was the Pacifica, the crown jewel in the United Humanitarian Armada. Fortunately none of the races we encountered recognized what a ludicrous name “Pacifica” was for this ship
Thank you for the reminder. I try to do this for my wife, but know I need to try more. She is wonderful at it and is a shinning example for me.
Good to meet you Teegs. I think that, like imajinit, I am seeing a commonality amongst many of us here. Although the hair thing is a little short on my as I just buzzed it off recently. Entertaining read, and always nice to get to know some of the folks here.
