Cloudy's Cafe- a conversation zone 2-18-03

Yep, TL, that is indeed what I call it. Sorry that you are going to miss it, since you enjoy it, though. LOL, I was rereading a book called The Making of a Surgeon by W.F. Nolan, M.D., looking for a quotation, and found this, in addition. The dedication: "My father was a lawyer, and one day he looked up from his desk and said to me, 'Billy, I hope you become a doctor. Those S.O.B.'s have it made.' He was right, and this book is dedicated to his memory."

Where Jan Jansen when you need him. I'm rushing to get home to see West Wing, but it's looking worse and worse. P.S. - Preemptive strike: I know you guys call it Left Wing, Attalus and MagiK, but it's still darned good dialogue scripting.

West wing left wing! damn that means I must be a card carrying commie

What would the IW looney left make of this

Never understood circling myself. That´s why I married in the first place. To have someone drop me off and pick me up before/after shopping sprees. LOL! BTW, hi MagiK. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Hi Attalus. Is your hdd getting crowded? I´ll send some south if you need some. Of course the hubby would have hissy-fits if he found out I would have removed some of his "precious" back-up storage. Well as long as he keeps it in his office it is OK. It is when he starts to drop things off in the bedroom I start to complain.

Hi Timber. Enjoying your new work?

Hi Cloudy. I hope it is not too hectic at your office. If it is, delegate some work to your co-worker. I´m sure she wouldn´t mind. And if she do mind, blame it all on me. LOL![/QUOTE]ROTFL! So THAT'S what marriage is good for! HAHAHAHAHAHHA! Now that made me giggle, Willow!

Office was busy, sort of 3-ring circus-like but I survived! Oh and NO ELECTRONICS (except the alarm clock) will live in my bedroom, either! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

[Attalus]

We don't have any electronica at all in our bedroom, Cloudy, not even an alrm clock. (I am the alarm clock, here, since I almost always wake up when I wanted to the night before.) Wellard and Timber, I watched "The Left Wing" exactly once. Fool me once, shame on you, ...

[Lord Starshadow]

Man, I don't think I could live without electronics in my bedroom. Well, I guess I got used to it after 4 years of it (from living in a dormroom at college). After all, where else was I going to put all my stuff? Now I'm just totally used to it. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Piestrider seems to agree with you, Starshadow. Not Galadriaand I. Bedrooms are for sleeping and occasional reading.

Being a shift worker who needs to be on top of his game at 4 in the morning during a 12 hour shift, the company gives us sleep training by experts. Giggle not my friends there actually is an institute of sleep.
They strongly reccomend only using the bedroom for sleeping and *cough* lurvve. No distractions such as tv, computers ect should be allowed. This trains the mind to associate bed with sleep. This coupled with keeping the bedroom very dark and quite will allow over time any shift worker to sleep anytime of the day or night.

Todays health report brought to you by our sponser.." Cloudy's cafe... coffee and smiles are our game"

Sleep, HAH! Those people apparently never had a cat who, as small as she is, manages to take up the whole bottom part of the bed, and somehow when she's sleeping, makes herself too heavy to move so that you need to learn to sleep with your legs curled up!! Oh, and don't you dare move, or you'll have cat teeth in you!! [img]graemlins/choc.gif[/img]

I am actually good friends with the head of the National Institute of Health's Sleep Studies department. Sleep is serious medical business. We have a TV and VCR and a TIVO unit in the Bedroom, because we like to snuggle and watch some TV before lights out. We also use the TV as an alarm clock. I see no degradation in the quality of our bedroom time due to electronica.....ahhh well to each their own, Attalus, I used to be able to do that no alarm clock trick when I was a young lad in the Navy, but somewhere along the way I lost the ablity.

Well that does it Harley, there is no way you can convince me to visit you now!!! Nope, Im sorry, the deal is off! Im totally allergic to kitties of all makes and models. If I had a cat in my bed, one of us would leave the bed dead...probably me.
