Skinning....better than Xanax.
Wednesday, February 25, 2009 by k10w3 | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Last week I took off on a 1300 mile trip to Kansas for my son's wedding. I'm kind of prone to panic and anxiety, and with the economy the way it is right now, this trip was sort of like walking on a tight rope without a net for me. However, I am, once again, in the middle of constructing another Windowblind, and during this trip, whenever I caught myself thinking about all the disasters that could befall me (car wreck at any of the states I had to drive through where I don't know anybody to help out and don't have any extra cash to pay anyone to help out; breaking down on the road with no one to help and no way for my spouse to get to me to fix things, because our second car is broken...dying on the road before I GOT to the wedding, etc.), before I started to hyperventilate, I began to think about how I wanted to skin the scroll bar, or what I'm going to do with the Please-Wait animation.
I went the entire round trip (2600 miles) without once freaking completely out in the car, and I owe it all to skinning!

I type hospital records for a living. That means, aside from all the technical words for the fun parts of the anatomy, I also get to type what the patient says in quotes, and SOME patients are kinda crabby and upset and on their last nerve when the doctor asks them questions that they don't really feel like answering politely. Occasionally I get to type reports of intoxicated individuals who have been brought in for a 23-hour hold to the psychiatric unit, and THOSE, my friend, are my favorite reports to transcribe!

One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small
And the ones that mother gives you
Don't do anything at all
Go ask Alice
When she’s ten feet tall
And if you go chasing rabbits
And you know you're going to fall
Tell them a hookah smoking caterpillar has given you the call
Call Alice
When she was just small
When the men on the chess board
get up and tell you where to go
And you just had some kind of mushroom
And your mind is moving slow
Go ask Alice
I think she'll know
When logic and proportion
Have fallen sloppy dead
And the white knight is talking backwards
And the Red Queen's "Off with her head!"
Remember what the dormouse said
Feed your head
Feed your head

Tis a GOOD thang.
Tailsgirl made ANOTHER clock just before this post.

Sounds like "Jefferson Airplane", Gracie Slick ca. 1966-7

That was a book we had to read at school, about a druggie chick.

Alice in Wonderland by Louis Carol. 19th century, don't feel like Googling at the moment for the exact dates. For it's time it was about insanity and drug use. Heavily veiled at the time. Not so veiled by Jefferson Airplane.
And Ed....a special treat just for you, mate: Reply #53 Friday, February 27, 2009 8:31 PM

That's a quote from an episode of "The Simpson's" isn't it?

In my business, we know ALL the tricks to fast typing. Most of it has to do with using a text expander, but I don't have any of the dirty words in there, because I enjoy typing them out the old fashioned way. (What does that say about me, that I get a kick out of being paid to type "naughty" words?)
