>There's nothing worse than having a reformed-hypochondriac-now-registered-nurse for a parent.
How about an uncle who still is a hyprochondriac and a biology prof living next door to the 'rents? Oh! And to top it off both dad and uncle are Nam vets and are convinced the government wants to control usage of their firearms...(uncle shot a hole in his hand last year cleaning his glock)....that was funny...really...it was ROTFLMAO funny....mainly because he's always goin' on about my little pistol....and then big old dude shoots his hand........hehehehehe
I never had to take the Kobayashi Maru test until now. What do you think of my solution?O'hana means family, and family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten. My Story Recovered!

Probably if you hadn't deleted your posts twice I wouldn't be so curious about what you said and then reconsidered. But you did. And I am. Was it really that bad? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> Don't worry about me. I'm not much of a delicate flower--more dandelion than gardenia, if you get my drift, and I seldom pout for long. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> Also, Neak and Neaksis were chatting with me tonight and Neak said that The Sad Saga of Susan the Stupid would be a good name for a new thread. I feel ambivalent about the idea, being surprisingly possessive of "my" thread as it currently exists. But at the same time, it was Pep that started it and maybe my life song (AKA, the Dirge) doesn't actually belong on it, now that its creator is not actively participating in the thread she began. So, I ask you, shall we start a new thread with the above title, or just continue on with this one, although in a new direction? What is MB threadiquette for this? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> OK, Baby Thor. One night, in the lull that followed the birth, while the MD did his perineal embroidery and the nursery nurse fiddled with baby, I asked the new parents what they were planning to name their child. They were your average-looking, young, Caucasian yuppies in appearance, and I was expecting an average name choice out of them. They said they had 2 possibilites, the first being Devon. I told them I liked that one, and it was my youngest grandson's name. "What's your second choice?" "Thor," they replied. I was somewhat taken aback, since they weren't Scandinavian at all, and their last name really didn't go with Thor either. Silence fell over the room for a few minutes as the medical staff looked at each other, but nobody knew what to say. Finally I piped up. "Well, he really doesn't look to me like he's Thor...but we'll have to check back in a few days and find out how he feelth after he'th been thircumthithed." I don't know if they actually named him Thor. I was afraid to ask after that. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> t&l

t&l,
Not to worry! I had just taken your thread on an extensive hijack, way off subject! Posted more than I wanted on a public message board! Had nothing to do with yours or Pep's discussions! Back to you!
Edited to add - I'll bet they didn't name him Thor!!
If you like your thread you can keep it indefinitely; the reason some people start new threads is to let others know the new subject direction at a glance.
The thread starter Pep in this case, can change the Subject title as the thread progresses. This serves two purposes - alerts others of the new direction; yet preserves the history of the thread. But only the thread starter can change the subject title.

CSue,
I hope I didn't lead you to say things you felt uncomfortable about. I never meant to do that. If you would like I can delete references I made. I'm not sure what bothered you about what you typed, please advise.
T&L,
How many days a week do you work?
Do you have a hoby, or hobies?
I am going to go out on a limb, and say something about Pep. I think she would love to spend more time on this thread. I also think she is driven to post to people she thinks need help the most, and since her time is limited, she runs out of time before she gets back to threads like this that are very rewarding for her, but where she doesn't think help is needed directly.
My opininon only, but I believe it's accurate.

I think sometimes about all the pain in the world. I hope we can ease that here, even if only a little bit.

"I like to watch." I think my force can overpower sometimes and therefore it is better I simply observe.... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Yeah, Right. You are blunt when blunt is needed, but you can dance lightly with the best of em.
I have some other theories too....(SS Whispers now.....cause Susan might be listening) But.......but I think I better keep quiet for now, you never know who might be around evesdropping.

Susan,
I was teasing on purpose. No other theories, except for the ice berg theory. You probably already know about that one.

Mimi,
I made it up. I admit, Susan is fun to tease.
(SS blushes)
See, Susan and Pep are famous for their jokes, and pranks. One should be especially careful about the end of March, first of April.
So, I thought I would see if Susan was paying attention.
No theory, just teasing Susan.
At least I didn't pretend to be someone else.
( See, still more teasing.)
Now, please forgive me if I yanked your chain too, I didn't mean to. I hope you are OK with this attempt at humor.

I'm fine with HUMOR. You most certainly did not yank my chain! I thought I was missing out on some new theory! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> I'll never forget APRIL FOOL's NOW. I learned quite a lesson from that... In fact, the lesson was to stop being SO SERIOUS... HAVE FUN..NO MATTER WHAT! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

PEP: ABSOLUTELY! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Plus, I'm having a light bulb moment here, realizing that I am SCARED OF MY PERSONAL POWER!!! I'm going to process this for awhile..... WOW...
