Thank you....I did...after all, I had been directing it.

Sorry, I see no documentation of your discussion direction so it will not count toward tenure.

Your calm tenacity can be taken as sufficient evidence of your maturity, both as a woman as well as a thinker, however contradictory the aforesaid qualities might appear to mysogynists amongst us.

Is that each of us? Or do we have to split it?

Well that was nauseating. I just had to read (quickly) about 300 posts just to catch up.

The answer is easy son, ask the white clad attendants to stop playing chicken and wheelies with your bed while you are "under", in the yellow brick house with long dimly lit corridors sparsely furnished.

Sounds like codex has sleep apnea.

Actually, that's my working hypothesis. I need to make some calls today to the doctors; my sister has been diagnosed with it and I seem to have many of the symptoms. Fun times
