I just noticed that and was going to correct myself before anyone else did but you \*\*\*had \*\* \* to notice it first, didn’t you?

Gah. I cannot believe I made such an ignorant typo. (or that \*\*viva \*\* missed it) Guess that’s what I get for being so self centered (I steal stilled (those’re intentional :p) her back though, so I didn’t learn any lesson. Nyah. :D)

…and you -really- don’t want that, Tars! Seriously, though, hope you’re feeling better soon. We would really miss you insightful (or should that be inciteful? ;)) comments in the Trek threads, you know. 🙂

I’d promise, though, to keep Phlox distracted long enough to keep the leeches at bay.

Just an appendix?  
Son, I coughed up a lung, my asophagus and a kidney stone all while running a 30km marathon.  
I won too.

But you know, Canadians are tougher folk, so get well soon. **Aes** is getting a little to smug having all the Hoshi to himself.

**Tars** ,  
Ever see that episode of MASH where Hawkeye and Trapper slipped Col. Flag the drugs that mimicked the symptoms of apendicitis? I bet **Aes** has. Not that I’m accusing him or anything.

Get better.

Thanks for the kind words, i see a doctor friday who will let me know if i can go back to work, i’m lying around going through all my movies and books.

Hey, what’s up with the beautiful beach weather her in the Bay Area now that i’m stuck indoors? I’d been looking forward to ocean dipping all week, and now i can’t! And i know it will be 50 degrees for weeks once i get better!

luckily for the trek threads this happened during the six week break. hopefully i should be back and bored at work in time for the new episodes. If not, i’ll email Aesiron or NCB the word “Hoshi” typed several dozen times that they can copy and paste into the threads.

Probably shouldn’t try to impress a linguist with typos, eh? 😉 (as an aside, Apparently, i can’t have sex for a month now, dang it!)
