Random Thoughts...or...What's on Your Mind?

I'm quite worried today: my sister in law volunteered as a Corona nurse and is on the way to her first assignment atm. I do hope that while taking care of others she won't forget to take good care of herself!

Cool! Thanks for the tip! That'll be the first thing I'm going to order on Monday. If they are not too costly, that is. I had to fight tooth and claw to get micor-scissors at 100 $.

Well... That's the problem with surgical grade instruments. There's a wide range of pricing, depending on where it's made, how it's machined & if it has special metals or coating or whatever. A tiny hunk of stainless steel or titanium, can get expensive. I've seen them run $500, but I bet you could keep it under $100, if you shopped around. I'm not as much an expert on the purchasing (There's an employee we bother for that lol)

Am I right to presume that to use the micro nerve hooks you need a micro manipulator? (I have to dissect manually - no such luxury for me *sigh*)

I actually don't think so. A lot of that stuff they're doing delicately by hand. I guess that's why not everyone can be a surgeon.

That's incredibly commendable & I hope everything works out well for her

Hmmm. What’s on my mind right now? It’s difficult to tell, over the sound/noise of two confined boys trying to out loud each other. They get louder every day. At this rate, a Disaster Area concert will sound like a parp in the bath compared to them by the time this lockdown is lifted.

try to teach them a game called trappist monestary (take a day or two to make up the rules)

If they can’t play it by staring at their kindles until the battery runs down, it won’t catch on.

how good are your programming skills?

A bit rusty. I’m a developer in name only, but that reminded me, I promised the kids I’d help them learn Lua and make their own Roblox game.

There's already a Rule, you know. A pretty strict one too.

that was the idea. it's a myth, though - they do talk but they must not indulge in idle talk.

Maybe a Grand Silence. Or a nice Chapter of Faults.

It's getting to be Ernest Hemmingwayesque

I went for a walk today. I smelled something horrible and looked over on the other side of this chain link fence near the creek. It was a fairly large dead turtle.
I had to stop myself from crying. I guess on top of everything else it just hit me at the wrong time. Funny how things can affect you sometimes.

Awww. I’m sorry.

Saw a dead bird on the supermarket's parking lot yesterday. While I wasn't anywhere as affected as you, @Gary Mitchell , I certainly felt a sadness about it.

Anyway, change the subject, happy thoughts: It's a new month, so it is time for a new installment of my Winona Ryder Avatar Callendar for 2020. And for April, I thought I'd choose something with a lovely nature background, especially since we all currently have to mostly stay inside.

Winona is such a stunning beauty.....
i had a picture of her hanging on my office wall many years ago (the rolling stone cover, blue denim) WOW

^ I think we've had the same conversation about a month ago.

 

[Captain pl1ngpl0ng]

^ i was thinking that when i wrote it, but i thought it was a year ago!
edit: @Kai "the spy" it was actually 6 months ago lol
