Title: This week (2/8) in the World of the Vexatious AN
Post by: LADavid on February 08, 2009, 09:21:54 pm: So it seems like America has given up on having AN surgery. Kim, you have this week to yourself -- as far as I can tell from the calendar.

Tomorrow, Kim (Zinger1905) from DC, is having a Retrosig at John's Hopkins. Best wishes Kim for a great and successful surgery and a quick recovery. Will someone post us on how you're doing?

And last but not the least bit least (I say that to avoid a scolding this next year) Phyl (ppearl214), the Valentine's sweetheart (I say that in all sincerity and to avoid a scolding next year) is having a very youthful Birthday. Happy Birthday, Phyl!!! May your 39th year be the best ever. ;D

So that's about it for this week. Have a great one everyone.

Post by: sgerrard on February 08, 2009, 10:11:01 pm: I was wondering if vexatious is really a word, so I Googled it. Google offered 6,980,000 results, so I guess it is. There must be a lot of vexing going on in the world...

Best wishes, Kim. Have a good surgery and a gentle recovery.

I will join you in wishing Phyl a happy birthday. I can't believe she is 39, she doesn't look a day over 27. ;D

Post by: leapyrtwins on February 09, 2009, 10:26:01 am: I probably already missed Kim - her surgery is today I think - but best wishes anyway.

Sue thanks for offering to be Kim's scribe. We'll be anxiously awaiting your first report.

Phyl -

what can I say??? Joef says 21 and David says 39 - so I'll just average those two numbers and wish you a happy 30th ;D

Hope you get all the chocolates and roses you can handle!

Post by: Jim Scott on February 09, 2009, 02:31:45 pm: David:

Thanks for this week's treatment schedule. It is a bit 'light', but that's probably a good thing. I'm certain that Kim's surgery is over by now (late Monday afternoon) so I'll look for her updates, elsewhere. I have to admit it was a pleasant surprise to see the adjective vexatious used in your thread header. Since most of us are vexed at times by this AN stuff, it was an apt word.

As for Phyl, as someone soon to turn 66, (I could swear I can feel it coming up behind me) I can't afford to tease anyone about their age - so I'll simply wish Phyl a very Happy Birthday (on Saturday). :)

Sue - Thanks for agreeing to post for Kim -- we'll all be anxiously waiting to hear how she is.

Best wishes Paul and Marion.

That gives us a respectable 3 members getting treatment this week. Having only 1 was vexing me. :)

Now as for you Mrs Baxter--

Words cannot express what a dear friend you have been to me for the past 3 count 'em 3 years, m'dear! I can hardly believe I have never actually laid eyes on you but you have become the next best thing to a best friend that I know of. How many times have we laughed , cried, commiserated b#$%ed and moaned on the phone? I have truly lost count. The work you do for others on this site is beyond compare.

I hope your birthday, whichever one it is, only you and the Cheeky One know for sure, is spectacular. I know I will be celebrating it for you down here in Florida, too. Wish you were here. I really do.

Post by: Captain Deb on February 11, 2009, 12:18:56 pm: LA David,
Having lived half my life in the West Indies, I truly admire your choice of the word vexacious. It be a very West Indian word, mon! To "vex" someone is to make them mad or pi$$ them off and is a well-worn word "down dey." Also the West Indians are fond of putting -acious at the end of everything because it makes everything rhyme. Great for making up songs around Carnival time!

Stay up! (http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee60/Captdeb_photos/rastafarian_dancing_lg_clr.gif)

Post by: saralynn143 on February 11, 2009, 04:43:25 pm: I find the English language fascinating. Why, for example, is the adjective form for vex vexatious, but the adjective for perplex is just perplexing? Wouldn't perplexatious be a much more fun word? Or funner as the case may be.

Sara
Title: Re: This week (2/8) in the World of the Vexatious AN
Post by: Captain Deb on February 11, 2009, 10:11:35 pm: Yes, but a West Indian would say "Don't be vexing me, now, you stupid AN!" (Trying to stay on topic--tee-hee!)

Hugs,
