So... you’ll be able to finish NaNo this year. Great.
She understands “regular” iron sights PERFECTLY! But I just know that before she gets the hang of peeps she’s going to wonder WHO in their right mind invented them! :-) You have pointed out some good things about them though that I’ll explain to her. I’m pretty sure that she’ll do like most of us and gain a true appreciation for peep sights. I’ll keep you posted! Thanks!
Heh heh!
Steve and I call it “The Stink Eye”.
Thank you. I’ll keep you posted.
It's those unwritten rules that'll getcha.
In a break from meetings. But have found out tonite’s therapy has been postponed. Now where did I put those audition forms?
Seriesly, I was just going for the wings anyway.
Yeah Jen, assuming I have enough story, and I think I do, I should be able to finish. Of course the last time I finished was a show year.
i can haz likker nao?
It’s after 5 o’clock ain’t it?
The thread apparently drank itself to death...
The kids were working on their rooms all day, then Clare and I went over to Burlington to LL Bean for her to try out a backpack she found online. She went ahead and ordered it, then we went to Burlington Mall to do some returns. We didn’t get home until almost 11. They have to finish packing up their rooms tomorrow.;o)
That’s because the bear got out of the tree, and ate the moose, and things went downhill after that!
Was the moose eating cheese?
Weekdays were made for Michelob.
Getting an early start on happy hour?
Here...I’ll tell you something funny.
Yesterday the boys and I were talking about brain stem herniation. (It started as a discussion about the Borg on Star Trek). Anyway, I told them that a brain stem herniation is where after an injury, the brain swells to the point it pops out the hole at the base of the skull where the spinal column connects on. I told them it didn’t have a good outcome.
Matthew said “You might as well not even bother singing “Swing Low Sweet Chariot” because no matter if it swings low or not, you’re going home.”
Er... that’s not very tactful is it...
I wish.
I dunno...I was trying to impress upon them that this was a condition you don’t survive. Cause you generally don’t. Once that process begins (usually right away after an injury), it’s not something you can reverse. Low swinging chariot or not, there’s usually only one outcome. So he got the grasp of what I was trying to say, and had a humorous way of letting me know he understood there’s no cure.
At least that’s what I was taught and what I understood during my years as a brain trauma nurse. That’s been 18 years ago, so maybe it’s changed. Maybe they “can” stop a herniation now...
I know that when folks have a stroke nowadays, they can do something about it. Strokes from clots, anyways...they have meds they can inject to stop and even reverse the situation! That was NOT what I was taught in school. I was taught there was nothing to be done.
They don’t have any meds yet for the kind of stroke you have when you have high blood pressure, though. :-( That’s a hemmorhagic stroke. A burst vessel...not a clogged-up one.
LOL! Smart kid!
