I would like to apologize to all of you.

[elshiva]

I did not know that the gun was loaded. Please forgive me.

[Aristus]

1. You're forgiven.

Treat every gun as if it were loaded, and you'll never go wrong... B-)

I can't count how many times I just carelessly shot without regard for the target...

[elshiva]

2. Thank you. How are you?

:hug: :hug:
How did your exams go?

[Aristus]

3. Flunked Pharmacology AGAIN!

Arrrgh!!!

The four finals that I passed:

Adult Med.: 85%
Maternity and Child Health: 88%
Emergency Med.: 90%
Tech Skills: 100%

But I had to flunk stinking Pharmacology again... :mad::grr:

[elshiva]

4. You did a great job on all the other exams, though.

:hug: Can you take the exam over again?
Any plans for this weekend?
I am going to PM you, okay? Thank you.

[Aristus]

5. Re-testing the Mid-Term and the Final is going to take a significant chunk out of my clinical

rotation next week... :-(

[elshiva]

6. Sorry, honey.

:cry: :hug:

[buzzard]

7. What type of questions do they ask in the pharm section, it may be a mental block on your end, I

am sure you can do this if you passed the other sections. Have faith in yourself you can pass this.

8. You are forgiven, sweetheart, and here is your hug.

:hug: :hug: :hug:

[elshiva]

9. Thank you. Are we still friends?

:hug: :hug:

[crim son]

10. We are. Just make sure

you never post me a pic of anybody other than Spike or Willow, and I will be entirely forgiving. :rofl: No wait. I'm serious.

[elshiva]

11. Okay, crim son. How are you?

But, but not even...?

[crim son]

12. I'm doing okay; dealing with weekends alone.

How are you? It's been a while.

[elshiva]

13. I am in a lot of pain and very lonely, too.

Weekends are the worse, aren't they? :hug:
Did you move?

[crim son]

14. Ah Elshiva. I don't remember why you have pain. Forgive me.

I've been dealing with a resurgence of pain and no medical insurance. I feel for you.

Yes, I moved. I finally have a house of my own for as long as I can afford it. My divorce is finalized in about three weeks. The boyfriend and I broke up for good on Valentine's Day and I have been thinking about solitude. I've also decided to go back to school.

When I write this stuff, it strikes me how I never come here except to bitch about my romantic status.

I'd love to know more about your world, Elshiva. When you have time. -Lisa

[elshiva]

15. Solitude, SIGH.

Sorry about not having medical insurance. Don't worry about "bitching" about romance or whatever here, it just helps to get it out somewhere in public. Sorry about your boyfriend, I remembered that part and the divorce. :(

How long are you staying up? It's great to talk to you again, hon. I was so worried that you were mad at me for neglecting you. :hug:

[crim son]

16. Ah, Elshiva. The one thing I hope you will know abou me

is that I know how things go. I drifted off, you did your thing. I watched you and was occasionally jealous! but always happy to see that you had a solid place here on DU.

I'll be up for a while. I slept all afternoon because I fasted. Right about now I'm thinking about hummus and a whole-wheat tortilla. Damn! I lost the battle. Back soon.

Elshiva: :hug: Let us know that solitude is a state of mind, or so I'm told.

[elshiva]

17. Thanks for being so understanding.

Why did you fast? Is it a religious practice or...?
Yes, I slept most of the day, too. So, I'll be up a while.
Also, very hungry myself, SIGH.
One of my favorite songs about solitude:

lull

being alone it can be quite romantic
like jacques cousteau underneath the atlantic
a fantastic voyage to parts unknown
going to depths where the sun?s never shone
and i fascinate myself when i?m alone

so i go a little overboard but hang on to the hull
while i?m airbrushing fantasy art on a life
that?s really kind of dull
oh, i?m in a lull

i?m all for moderation but sometimes it seems
moderation itself can be a kind of extreme
so i joined the congregation
i joined the softball team
i went in for my confirmation
where incense looks like steam
i start conjugating proverbs
where once there were nouns
this whole damn rhyme scheme?s starting to get me down

oh, i?m in a lull
i?m in a lull

being alone it can be quite romantic
like jacques cousteau underneath the atlantic
a fantastic voyage to parts unknown
going to depths where the sun?s never shone
and i fascinate myself when i?m alone

i?m rambling on rather self consciously
while i?m stirring these condiments into my tea
and i think i?m so lame
i bet i think this song?s about me
don?t i don?t i don?t i ?

i?m in a lull

18. I found it on youtube:

Perfect music for this night.

I'm writing quickly because a friend stopped by and is waiting to talk. She has had a rough evening and we will talk & it will make no difference.

Be strong. -L

[elshiva]

19. Good night. I hope you have a good time with your friend.

:hug: :hug: You are a great friend.
