Is it REALLY a 'gin & tonic' if it doesn't have a fresh slice of lime?

And since I already know the answer - here's to a Bombay gin, good Seagram's tonic, and a slice of a fresh lime rubbed around the rim, and a toast to the brave citizens of Ukraine!

Instead of a Festercrabbit or an Nurdledurdle? It had nothing to do with razzing a goat.

I'm never awake for these Friday night threads, but I usually enjoy them on Sat. morning. And you usually respond a couple of times or two....

I didn’t mean to worry you. Had a rough day in clinic yesterday. Hit the sack early.

I’m better now. Having coffee and watching some TV.

Sorry for the tough day at the clinic, but glad it was Friday so you could restfully decompress!!

Had one highly-unpleasant patient encounter yesterday that spoiled an otherwise very busy, but good and rewarding day in clinic.

I got the patient banned. He won't be back. But the bad vibes linger...

The 'good guy' feels bad for having to do the 'right thing!'

Had a parent banned from ALL school property - making WAY TOO MUCH grief for other parents, staff, and even other kids in the building. Who needs that?
