I hope your friend’s husband is okay, **Buns.** Well, I know he’s not completely okay, but I hope it’s nothing really serious. ---

Hey everyone - the week is half-way over, thankfully. Today was a big queasy day for me–medicine-induced, unfortunately, but I think I’ll be able to deal. Great to see you return, **Sean** , and hope all is doing well with you. Keeping your friend in my prayers, **Sticky**! Yesterday, I stopped at the grocery store to pick up a few things. I got to joking with the man in front of me inline and he ended up paying for my odd assortment of food items (sugar free chocolate pudding, some deli shaved swiss cheese). I protested, but not too loudly–it wasn’t that much anyways, but what a nice thing to do. Two more days! I know I’m forgetting -a lot- of stuff, so … **Rosie’s** sig to any and all. ---

Ok, just as I was about to close my eyes and go to sleep I saw that SockLady was online. We briefly chatted via email and she said that he had the symptoms of a stroke, which he has had one in the past, and that all the tests that they have done so far seemed to come out ok. Tomorrow they’re scheduling an MRI. So now I’m really going to go to bed. Thanks for all the good thoughts. She doesn’t really understand how messageboards work, but she knows what I mean when I say that my “invisible friends” are sending the two of them good thoughts and praying for them. 😃 ---

Can you do the anti-rain dance with appendages crossed? I just got yet another “we need a consultant” request written by someone who wants a Mercedes for the price of a bicicle. It’s SO nice being able to click that “Delete” button! ---

Yay! The poster boy’s back! Good to see you, **Sean**. Hope your friend’s husband is ok, **Buns**. :attempts to do anti-rain dance with appendages crossed, fails miserably: ‘im indoors is having his interview now, I think. I can’t remember if continental Europe is still an hour ahead of us for summer time, or if they abandoned that idea. So his interview is now, or in an hour’s time. Anyway, he made it safely to Belgium despite Virgin trains’ best efforts to prevent him making the Eurostar on time. Hopefully, in celebratory mood, I will be doing the happy dance for him tonight while I’m watching [Anvil](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6YwSBWwhTAY) at the Wolves Civic tonight. May have friends coming to see them with me, may be going on my own, won’t know that until later either. Today will largely involve a brief team meeting and then I get to invigilate rotational exams for the 2nd year med students. Bah. You probably know how much I love rotational exams… ---

Yes, we are still one hour ahead of you guys. For some reason we don’t all go into summer time and back at the same dates, but that’s just another piece of idjicity. When I’m [del]queen of the world[/del] Head Henchwoman In Charge Of Measurements, I’ll do away with winter-time-hours altogether, dagnabit! We do know you love watching med students scratch their heads in confusion, of course. ---

I thought you were still an hour ahead of us, **Nava** , but every year there are rumblings about changing things so we don’t do BST changes until the Scots start complaining about having to send their kids to school in the dark all year. Beats me why we can’t all just change our clocks on the same day and have done with it, or just agree to not bother changing them at all. You’re right, I love watching the poor little lambs get all confused. I was only supposed to be a reserve for the day but one of the girls has called in sick so I get to do the whole thing for a change. What fun. This time we have three groups of students in five rooms so there are 15 rooms in use and students either in them doing their exam questions, or waiting outside, or milling around looking petrified. Pointy stick to the fore! ---

Hey, **sean**!!! Better stock up on a lot of gray clothes, **taters** , if you get the Lab, too. You won’t be able to wear either black or white anymore. 😃 Mmmmmmmmmm, carrot cake! Mmmmmmmmmmm! Hugs for **sticky’s** friends. Made my reservations for next May’s Urp trip. My little sister works for Marriott so I can get her discount. Two five-start hotels for great deals. I’m stoked! Got some sad news last night. My boy and his girl have split. They’ve been together for six years. At least they don’t have anything legal needing done. Still, I will worry about them, because that’s what mothers do. Tupug ---

> [@swampbear](#): > > I once suggested a friend name two kittens Kibbles and Bits. 😃 When Missus Coder was a young lass, she had some friends had some friends who named their dog “Dioggi”. They told people it was a common italian name for a pet dog, and some fell for it.
