I wonder why people spam this thread with spam about this thread being full of spam. Which it isn't, of course. Unless, umm, well, I sense a circular line(!) of reasoning coming up.

And...

Well, normhead, I think your prediction was wrong

. I've only gotten to this point p 52. Only 242+ pages to go. Who knows how many it will be before I catch up! I'm having a good laugh, though. I'll have to stretch it out

Hey, did I miss a discussion on grammar? Or was I part of it??

(Of course, this being an internet forum I can't be bothered with checking. Much better ask and let somebody else do the work.)

Night shift nurse, remember. No. I sleep an average of 2 3-hour stretches in a 24 hour period. The only time I sleep a good solid stretch is when I get home the morning after night 3/3. I usually sleep 5-7 hours then.

About the same here. Night shift RT. I do a little better though. I got six nights off every other week. I live for those

I'm pretty sure we should've been deep into a flame war by now, but that's just way too much work. This being an Internet forum and all.

We'll keep a candle in the window and "tie a yellow ribbon 'round the ol' oak tree."

It's just where I happened to be when normhead predicted that the thread would die out. I had to respond given the fact that this thread has gone about 5 x the predicted number of pages and shows no signs of fatigue.
