Gotta go see a man with a scalpel in  the a.m. so everyone is off the hook for a short while. When I get back, I want to see poems in perfect meter about "What I Did on My Fall Vacation"!

I love you all....yes, even mooses.

At least it's a scalpel and not a butcher knife!

Seriously speaking, Deer, I hope all goes well and according to Hoyle.

Fall vacation? What's a vacation? Seriously, I think I took too hard of classes... four hours of homework every night is a bit ridiculous.  So I can't do this one now, maybe later though.

You mean the Family Lampoon I went on?  If you ask me you are the one taking all the time off here.   You take care you hear, and keep those brain cells working while you are away, we want you sharp when you get back to school.

Balladeer,

I am thinking of you.  I'll get caught up with the two I am behind and work on the new assignment.  Sheese.  Now, I know how hamsters feel.  I spin and spin and get no where.



Get back to us soon.

Our teacher's off for surgery, we wish him all the best.
"Miraculous recovery", we'll settle for nothing less.
A thought has just occurred to me, to wecome Michael back,
let's throw the man a jubilee, a workshop sneak attack.

I'll hire a couple strippers as lap dances are great sport.
They'll decorate the place right up, those Lauderdale escorts.
Spare no expense my pipster friends, such talent is on me,
I'll just read them a couple lines and they'll all work for free.

What else? Oh yeah, I bet I know, to get him in the pink,
we'll get the man a couple tats, some real Miami ink!
A big one that says " I love Mom" or maybe even "Moose"
Location? As they say three times, I vote for the caboose!

And leave us not forget my friends that once he gets back home.
A grading will be meted out on our "vacation" poems.
I'm hoping that the dancing girls influence mine somewhat,
and that all grades are handed out before he sees his butt!

Dear Doc, I will offer my services as a strip dancer, free of charge! My specialty is lap dancing! But as I am also a registered nurse, I will take great care not to rupture his surgical site!

'Tis no wonder why our teach loves you so much ~ besides you both being members of the ersine family ~ You're downright adorable and fun to have around!

I've been on vacation for the last week, and missed this post the day it was made. I do sincerely hope everything goes well, Sir Balladeer. I shall work on something for my assignment.

Yep, moose can use wit and the Engligh language with the same skill the surgeon uses his knife....and I applaud him for it.

Thanks to all for the well-wishes. Actually, if I had known it would have been this rough, I wouldn't have done it. I guess ignorance IS bliss!

I'll get back soon...don't know when but you all are family to me so I won't dawdle any more than I have to...

Just get back to us.  You are very missed.  I hope that all the pain is worth it in the end - maybe not knowing was for the best so you got it done.  I think of you lots - hoping that you are recovering well and wondering how much time I have before I have to knuckle the knuckles down.

Take care of yourself ...

Love,
Alison

Balladeer, I popped by to see if there was any word ~ either about you or from you! I was pleased that it was the latter!
I concur with our adorable Alison. Now let the healing begin ~ again!

Giving you a gentle, healing hug,

Linda

Dear Mike,

           Sorry about the pain.  There's nothing that prepares you for it, is there?  I very sorry that you're having to deal and I hope that everything turns up roses for you.  Thank goodness you've got that great socialized medicine on your side, though, with the great docs and the caring nurses.

     I've missed you, and I hope that the recovery speeds right along.  Affectionately, Bob Kaven

Alison, it's almost knuckle time. They tell me, if all goes well, I may be home tommorrow. A month of recuperation at home means I'll have LOTS of time to make your life miserable. GET READY!!!!

Bob, please don't bring the Alley into my hospital room. It's been nice getting away from it for a while.

Angel, you always live up to your name

Hey ya Balldeer! I am so glad to see a post from you. I found out today, that I have 5 more weeks of recovery from my surgery.
So, you and I will be recovering together (so to speak). Sending you a tender, gentle hug to let you know I care. Get well soon, my dear friend.

Those bills won't wait, though. So I'll give myself another 2 or 3 weeks, then I will go find another job. Since I know the job I have now won't let me come back without the doctors release.
