Yes Jenn, some of our words are strange. Not many people in US call a restroom a toilet. We spent 3 year in England (We were stationed in Warrington)The base there closed a long time ago. You say Laboratory- we say Drug store. You say Lory and we call it a truck. We say station wagon and you call it a Shut-in-Brake. I don't know if you spell it that way. On a car we call the storage in the back of the car-a trunk. I think you call it a boot. Strange how different some things are, but others are the same.

I found it strange when I went sailing last year that we were calling the toilets 'heads'.

And it sounds odd hearing a toilet referred to as a 'rest room', too

I am sorry Madeline, but the subject line tickles my funny bone. I've been on enough boats that I refer to a restroom as 'the head.' I keep reading the subject as "Anyone have a spare restroom?" Laughing myself silly.

I get horrible, just horrible sinus infections and my head feels like it has been cracked wide open, so I understand where you are coming from, unfortunately I need to keep my head as I don't know where to get another one. LOL>

Even the effervescent Madeline is allowed the odd cranky day. Take care of yourself friend!!

Ok. It seems that a combination of iv magnesium, iv salumedrol, an epi injection, nebulized albeterol and atrovent, and 15 liters/min of heliox may open up ones lungs, but the next day is worse than any hangover I have ever heard of. Just got back from ct as my eyes are not focusing very well. Although, I font think it is anything except a drug overload. On the positive, my lungs are much better. I will be out of here in the morning after we get this head ache under control. Hugs to all. Sorry I was a bit gripey yesterday.MadelineConnected by DROID on Verizon Wireless
