    I've put my dinner on to cook but here in Aus we call dinner tea.  When we aere talking about it earlier and I said what I was going to cook I used dinner so I wouldn't confuse the issue for you girls but I think I did anyway so she ased that I use the word tea in future.

    It will be at about 6.00 pm tonight.  Most nights we have it between 6.00 and 6.30pm as any later and I get like a bear with a sore head as I don't do hungry well.  My blood sugar levels get to a point that I've got to eat like right now and I get really snarly if I don't so we try to keep an even keel and eat on time....lol

    I think nancy went to read the posts.  WE lost SOHARD and Alyson.

    I'm delighted that VIRAN was going to pubmed because that is like tops for research-----like the Lancet and JAMA. She sounded very enthusiastic. Very good.

    Sohard just pops in ever now and then she doesn't usually stick around for long and I think Nancy is reading but I'm sure she will be back as soon as she is done.

    I agree that it's good that Viran is checking out Pubmed.  I find that site very good.  The Lancet is a little hard to follow sometimes and I find that I need a really clear head to absorb what they are saying.  Perghaps it's the way they write it.

    WEll the Lancet and JAMA--Journal of the American Medical  Association are considered the biggest medical journals in the world. The research is very technically oriented and statistically oriented. AND every ten dollar word is used. So, it can make the reading difficult.------It's a hoot they are very competitive as to who is better

    Tonight is rugby night but because they are playing in Aus it will be a bit later. Chrissy I suppose you follow 'Rules'?

    Have you ever used MEDSCAPE. IT's a great site b/c they have oodles of journals to choose from, on every topic imaginable. It's free, but registration is required. They were bought out by WEBMD some years ago.

    Alyson. I haven't followed any footy since it went big business as it took all the fun out of the game and put money in it's place.....that has got to be about thirty years ago now.  I follow tennis if anything.

    Alyson it must be the weather as I think everyjoint in my body is aching today but it also could be that I've run out of my Boswelia and am waiting for the next bottle to arrive.  Hopefully this week!  Pleeeease!

    Yes rugby started in England - its a footbal game a bit like gridiron but the don't wear all that gear just shorts and tops which these days are lycra - not the shorts. the game os Aussies rules now they wear tight shorts don't they Chrissie? Might watch some tennis tonight and the cycling is about to start, now they do wear lycra.

    You are right Alyson on the tight, tight shorts for the Aussie Rules boys and I do think the newer uniforms do have some lycra in them including the shorts!  Talk about advertising!!!!

    Our instructor told us that some of our patients may not understand the words we use , so we would have to work at words they understood, until we got the response we needed.

    I had an eight bed ward of men , I'm like 21y/o  Had to ask this man if he had a bm -he says what? Me-----Did you have a bowel movement? Him--what? Me --did you Shit? Him --Oh yeah had a big one. --------Of course they all laughed.  I swear to this day I was set up. --------But I was telling the story to Dh and he started to laugh b/c he had never heard it called a BM. To him a BM was Bill of Materials and he was 1 year from graduating as an Engineer. So, the lesson was never assume any word or abbreviation was understood until explained.

    Its the cyclists who reveal the most?

    Nancy, below are the All Blacks doing the Haka. The All Blacks are our national team and the Haka is a Maori war dance. The young man is one of the heroes of the game - he is the goal kicker.

    Tea has just arrive - a cup of tea and a biscuit.
