Well done Bill ! LOL !

Psssst, don't let the secret out : it's not actually random ... :-)

and do pop around to the Bar as I owe for a double post.

I always wondered what the difference is b/w 'No' and 'cancel', I suppose it depends on the default behaviour ....

Cheers, Mike.

Attention : Lost Pens Dept

Unfortunately in 1998 I mislaid a biro that had become rather special to me. It saw me through many of life's mishaps and tragedies, and I was beside myself when I lost it. I blamed the other half of my split personality but he denied all knowlege and responsibility.

It was a blue one with a slightly chewed end, and last seen in my jacket pocket in late September, on the Circle line travelling Eastwards, after completing the Evening Standard crossword.

Could you please consult your archives and see if it was handed in.

In the meantime I have gone out to find myself. If I return before I get back, please ask me to wait.

Kindest Regards,

Chris S

Why do doctors have to practice?
You'd think they'd have got it right by now

Managed to run 3142 all day

Managed to run 3142 all day yesterday without drying out. Drank much more water than last week and still didn't pee very much. Also ate a frozen strawberry bar midafternoon. Could (and probably should) have been dispatcher but skipped it.

Nice work Bill

When I saw that flying waffle iron and its pilot on NASATV I thought I was seeing things but you showed the evidence for us

If you are dehydrated it can take a bit for your body to start the peeing stuff again, keep drinking and you will start peeing again. Once you find a 'normal' amount your body will pretty much adjust itself to that amount of in and out. I drink about 100 ounces of liquids on most days, so I pee all the time, on days I'm driving long distance though I tend to just sip and not drink as much, until I stop for the night, so my body doesn't get rid of it as often because it isn't taking in as much as it usually does. Essentially it thinks I'm in a desert with no water so it's holding onto every drop it can, then when I drink like 32 to 48 ounces when I stop for the night I will pee every hour or so as my body says 'thanks now you will pay for being mean to me all day long'. It's a trade off I'm willing to make though as it also means fewer daytime stops, so I get to my destination quicker!! Once my driving is done, either because I'm staying at my destination for a few days, or because I'm back home again I go back to my normal 100 ounces per day and all is good again.

I'm sure Dr Mike would say 'drink normally even while driving' but I'm a 'goal oriented' type of person and stopping every couple of hours does not work with that. I open a 16 ounce bottle of water once I'm in the car first thing in the morning, on my trips, and then when I stop for the night I finish it off. Often it's still half full when I finally stop.
