2. My picks

I want Calgary to avenge the Blues (defeated first round) by eliminating the Sharks (eliminated the Blues). Revenge is sweet.:evilgrin:

Sorry, I have to go for Tampa. My dad lives there.:)

[The Traveler]

3. Howdy Chair (n/t)

[strategery blunder]

5. Hey there

What's goin' on?

:hi:

[The Traveler]

10. Had us a funeral today

for my brother in law of 35 years ... a victim of for profit medicine, I fear. It was a right proper send off, but I will miss him. Man, did he hate George Bush! (No. Hate is the wrong word. Hate implies fear. Randy loathed/i] George Bush.)

[strategery blunder]

12. Sorry to hear that

He could not afford $47,835,269,907,509,823,460.76 per month for health insurance? Bloodsucking leaches.

[The Traveler]

21. More insidious

He had insurance, and paid plenty for it. Overworked/stressed doctors and (perhaps more significantly) nurses making a series of critical mistakes. Communications screwups between departments. Blunders. We have all the advertised disadvantages of socialized medicine at exorbitant cost. Randy is just one of the victims.

Thnaks, man. I appreciate your obvious understanding. Bloodsucking leeches indeed. It's not the doc's fault. They are only human, required to be too perfect, all in the name of improving the bottom line.

[strategery blunder]

23. Being required to be perfect in an 18-hour shift,

as nurses are, doesn't really work out too well. Damn HMOs.

:cry::cry::cry::cry:

[Angelus]

7. I'll be doing the same thing, chair...

[strategery blunder]

9. I can only sell my psych book right now

I still need the others to study for the rest of my finals.:evilfrown:

[bubblesby2002]

8. Hey are you happy with the results tonight

nt

[strategery blunder]

11. Don't know yet

I won't know until I get my score back...I either did kinda cruddy or really well. It's impossible to tell with this instructor's tests.

[glarius]

13. The Leafs lost!!!!!....I'm in agony!

[strategery blunder]

15. Look on the bright side

Your rival, the Evil Entity Detroit Wrong Wings, also lost.:evilgrin:

There, there.:hug:

[richmwill]

14. Hi

NY checking in, at 1:23am EST. All quiet here. I wish I had some ambien (hehe).

[strategery blunder]

16. Time to go doctor shopping then hehehe

:evilgrin:

[strategery blunder]

17. Mmmm...Ambien (nt)

[MrSlayer]

18. I'd like to see Tampa vs. Calgary for the cup.

With Calgary taking it. It's an abomination for a team from Tampa or San Jose to win the Cup. And it would be a good thing for Canada and small market teams in general. I hate the Flyers so I won't even consider them.

Tampa in 6 over Philly.
Calgary in 7 over San Jose.

[strategery blunder]

19. I see your point re tampa

I didn't like San Jose or Philadelphia anyway...

Which leaves Calgary. I'm happy with them right now because last night, they disposed of the Evil Entity.:)

[Dulcinea]

20. Anyone but the friggin' Flyers.

Go Flames go!!!!

[strategery blunder]

22. This insomniac is STILL up at 5 am! WOO HOO!

:bounce:

[Champ]

24. Yeeeeeeeeeaaaaahhhhhh!!!!!!!!!

:D

[strategery blunder]

25. 5:11 am and still wide awake...

I need to get high on Ambien.:evilgrin:

[Champ]

26. Same here

But your are obviously the insomniac, I'm amazed by how many consecutive days you've been able to keep one up.

[strategery blunder]

27. Well, there are 5 days of Insomniac Threads left

I lose my internet access on 10 May for summer break. I use a university-provided Ethernet connection, and I won't have access to the network during summer break.x(

I'll ask someone else to continue the Insomniac Threads over the summer, probably LastKnight, as he checks in relatively quickly and regularly. I'll be back around the end of August.

Just because I must take a sabbatical from DU does not mean that I will give up my insomnia, however.:evilgrin:
