Discussion Groups / English Usage / January 2004Catching up
I've spent a lot of time on aue this evening, most of it in whittling about 3900 posts down to a current count of 817. I managed to write seven responses all the while. As I progressed through the list (in date order, instead of alphabetical by thread, which is my usual practice) I noticed responses very similar to my own -- and better written and more interesting, too, if truth be told. However, my seven gems are going to be sent shortly. I feel out-of-touch, and want you all to know that I have been working hard to keep this group at the forefront of my life. Not much else I can do, though. No bending, lifting, driving-while-medicated ("doped up"), vacuuming, bed-making, or even thinking too hard. Post-surgery is so *very* difficult. (Actually, it's not much fun, but there are the Democratic primaries to keep me amused at least some of the time.)

Take it easy and let everyone else do that stuff. And don't read the "Pain" thread yet. SignatureLaura (emulate St. George for email) > > Not much else I can do, though.

Believe it or not, I'm avoiding the prescribed pain medication now that I'm home. I think it's too strong -- I'd end up sleeping my life away, or doing something really out of character. (Hmm...) Tylenol and Excedrin are my occasional friends, though. Even so, I'll hold off on the Pain thread for a bit.

If I were in the habit of saying "Welcome back", I'd say it to you. As I usually don't do it, I won't say it. Aww, heck -- you deserve it -- Welcome back!

Sounds great to me too. Who wants to do any of those things? Shitfire, except for the very occasional hoovering, I don't do any of them and I haven't been operated on in years! Missed you, Maria -- glad you're back. Don't forget to root for my man Dr Dean next week, K? SignatureCharles Riggs Email address: chriggs¦at¦eircom¦dot¦net [...] > Missed you, Maria -- glad you're back. Don't forget to root for my man > Dr Dean next week, K? I'm not sure where he'll be next week. Can he be found by rooting? I didn't know that. <smile> But sure, I'll wish him well. For the moment at least, I cannot think of anyone better to run against President Bush than "Dr. Dean." (Thanks for your kind words, though, Charles. Seriously.) SignatureMaria Conlon Please send any email to the Hot Mail address. Maria: >But sure, I'll wish him well. For the moment at least, I cannot think of >anyone better to run against President Bush than "Dr. Dean." What about the general guy though? Dean seems pointless and annoying. If he runs against Bush, I'll probably have to vote for Bush again. Not that I think Bush hasn't done a decent job, but it could be time for a change. >Maria: > >>But sure, I'll wish him well.
