COLD DARK ROOM

[Tidgy's Dad]

I need a flouroscopy exam, a soft tissue neck series and a decubitis abdomen. You never know when patients are going to come in with them so you have to be on your toes. Except for the flouro, you have to have a radiologist for those so you make an appointment. But it's only at hospitals and DAYTIME. So I'll get that next rotation which is next week. Hope to be done by the end of September with exams! Clears up a lot of time to study while at clinic

Very interesting stuff.
Be sure to keep us informed as you go.

Shakespeare invented many of our modern expressions such as "vanished into thin air".
Hamlet is full of modern cliches, "cruel to be kind", "to the manor born", " to thine own self be true" and " neither a borrower or a lender be".
People often quote this last one and sometimes will even say , "that's Shakespeare".
Well, yes, but the words are spoken by Polonius who is a boorish fool. Shakespeare was not against borrowing or lending and was actually saying that only an idiot wouldn't lend or borrow money when useful, kind or necessary.

Idi Amin, the Ugandan despot declared himself the King Of Scotland and "Lord of all the Beasts on the Earth and the Fishes of the Sea and Conqueror of the British Empire in Africa in General and of Uganda in Particular" He was responsible for the deaths of between 100,000 and 500,000 people.
The Daily Mirror called him " A thoroughly nice man, as gentle as a lamb."
The Daily Telegraph said , "Good luck to you!"
He dined with The Queen and Prime Minister Edward Heath.
Amin liked Heath and said of him, "He's like Hitler, really tough, i admire him."

I have more detail on the apples.
They are believed to have originated in Almaty in the Tian Sian mountains of Kazakhstan.
Almaty means 'father of apples" in Kazakh.
Travellers on the Great Silk Road through central Asia developed a taste for them and spat out their pips wherever they went, so distributing them across many countries until they are now the most popular fruit in the world.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Which country in the world eats most apples per head of population and which country is second ?

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

And so I shall love you and leave you for a little sleep, all you Cold Dark Roomers.
May those of you sleeping have sweet dreams and those of you up late enjoy a pleasant evening/ night before a lovely slumber.
To those working, hope it goes well and you have some nice relaxation afterwards.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

And a jolly good morning to those of you who wake up and see this message.
Have a splendid day at work and play.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

He's supposed to sleep on the blanket......I went to pee and when I came back to bed, I see this. He tucked himself in the sheets. I don't have the heart to move him, he looks so comfortable lol. I guess his foot and head is technically on the blanket....

Good morning Adam.

Yes...NOT sleeping again. Oli is really worrying me and he is somewhat 'getting on my nerves.' He ate very little this morning, after which I soaked him TWICE so far due to very hot weather, and once again he retired to the same corner. What on earth I am to do, I do not know. Glad to hear Tidgy is well.

Regards to Wifey and kisses to Tidgy from Oli.
