Well.....here's the latest in the hospital saga:

I was asking my dad how he's been sleeping, as he's had some real trouble since he's been admitted having a good night's sleep.....and this, of course, is so important in his recovery. Rehabilitation is next to impossible with a patient who is only averaging an hour of sleep every night.

So, Dad told the doctor on rounds this morning that he really needed his help. "On nights that I get some sleep, I'm having a recurring dream where I'm lying here in this bed, and suddenly these three beautiful, naked women come striding into the room. They pull the curtain around the bed, and start tearing my hospital gown off me".

The doctor said something like, "So, what happens?"

And my dad told the doc that he keeps pushing the naked women away.

"Well", the doc finally said, "What would you like me to do?"

And my dad said, "BREAK MY ARMS!"

See, my father would actually say this to some unsuspecting doctor who doesn't recognise him. He really would.

I just wish I could BE there, next time. .. . . . . . .

[jerseyangel]

And my dad said, "BREAK MY ARMS!"

Ah-h-h...to be a phly on the wall in THAT room!

Yeah--it's next to impossible to get any shut-eye in a hospital

It's the faux grepping I don't like.

Tell me about it! Can't stand that faux grepping!

[elye]

Mornin', Peeps!

Ptaoughmghmn, may you have a day completely devoid of faux grepping.. . . . ...I hear ya on that one, and just HATE when that happens. . . . ..

A superb day in sports. . . . ....the Ottawa Senators have now won five in a row, and continue a thrilling charge for the playoffs (um.....as if, but one lives in hope). .. . . .

AND.....Michelle in a thrilling charge of her own, now in fifth with three dropped dogs. Yep, it is early to be travelling with only eleven, but if anyone can do it, it's HER!!

Dastardly David Dalton, who kept stealing third place from her last year, is now in 13th place. And my Jamaican hero Newton Marshall has slipped to 21st.

Man, he must be feeling the cold.. . . . . ...

[blueeyedmanda]

Yeah--it's next to impossible to get any shut-eye in a hospital

Yes I try to catch a nap everyday---and it doesnt work

Go Michelle!!!!!

It's tuesday hopefully work is calmer today than yesterday!

faux schmaux . . . grepping in general is a bear!!!

[Jestgar]

faux schmaux . . . grepping in general is a bear!!!

However, far better than cutting and pasting 45,000 lines.

Seriously tired and grouchy. Neighbors dog was barking ALL NIGHT LONG. Still barking.

Must figure out what to do next time. Who to call. And who's frickin dog.

[flourgirl]

Mornin! Hope it's a shiny day for all of you!

Kween Niknik the Skinted.....did you manage to phind a schwasher yet? Hope so!

Yay Michelle! Go! Go!

*Some* of us don't know what "grepping" is . Perhaps someone could explain? Just for the benefit of those in the dark....you see

Hmph! Barking dogs.....one of those irritating problems of communal life! Don't know if you should call animal control....dog warden....sherriff....the dogs owner (although the owner apparently was not concerned that his dog was having a problem). Hope you can get this resolved.

[flourgirl]

Em...wish we really could gather 'round yer Dad for a day. They'd probably have to kick us out!

OMG. . . . something that I am just SO INTIMATELY familiar with. .. . . .

grep is a Open Original Shared Link text search utility originally written for Open Original Shared Link. The name is taken from the first letters in global / regular expression / print, a series of instructions for the Open Original Shared Link text editor. Open Original Shared Link The grep command searches files or Open Original Shared Link globally for lines matching a given Open Original Shared Link, and prints them to the program's Open Original Shared Link.

Now, just as I feel my eyes completely glazing over and my mind priming for explosion, we have this:

The term "grep" can be used as a verb, meaning to search

After reading Em's post, I think I need to go take a nap
