Well it's been 3 months, are you a doctor yet?

What?  This topic is still around?

Well after studying 8 hours a day for 2 days, then slacking off for a few weeks, I eventually found out that there's actually a lot required to be a medical doctor!  Way more than 1 book!

Instead I got a community issued certificate for proficiency in the Heimlich maneuver and will be more realistic about the goals I set for myself in the future.  Live and learn!

That's what we're here for!

LOL -- Ask, and ye shall receive.  Receive what?  Life-changing words of wisdom! -- from a random global sample of English-speaking chess-players killing time between moves.  

We are, indeed, a fabulously rich source of information and potenial enlightenment.  Also, we are a virtual font of bs!  -- which should also be invaluable for you, wk, in achieving your life goal: Hawaiian Islands, here you come!

Lol, in the best interest of this thread I can say (reveal) that I am saving up for those islands, so far I can buy (afford) one palm tree!  Meanwhile I will still keep my lemon aid stand.  Smile

I suspect you meant "lemonade," but I like the idea of a little wooden stand on a street corner somewhere, where you sell people helpful lemons.  Or maybe it's like a charity, collecting money to rescue troubled lemons ... (?)

"lemon aid" I think was a benefit concert a few years back, after an early cold snap in Florida.

lol -- I should have remembered that!

Well selling people (who work as aids) is better, infact you can have them make the lemon (juice), heehee.

We're talking about lemons, lol.

Good Grief, wk!  Spelling -- spelling!!  People work as "aides," "not "aids!"  

Listen, if we can't Spell, how are we going to be of Any use to wafflemaster the Next time he asks for our help when he's thinking about changing his career goals?!!

(Sorry to have to lecture you, but as you get older, you'll learn that spelling really IS the most important thing in life, and then you'll thank me. ... and, btw, in case you're wondering what the Second most important thing is, it's penmanship.)

I learned penmanship back when we had nib pens and ink wells.

How's your spelling? ;-)

So nuns are big on spelling, huh?  What about penmanship?  How's your cursive?  Hey, maybe wafflemaster could become a Nun in just one year!

Lol, I missed it by 1 "e"!  Not bad for a future English teacher, heehee.

My preperation for being "schooled" in English, was reading "English For Dummies", a crush course of course!!

Maybe nuns aren't big on penmanship, but they are naturals at penguinship.

This is truly one of the Worst Puns I have ever seen.  Congratulations! Wonderful!  Thanks, I loved it!  

***Note: For any of you who are puzzled by my comment here, allow me to elucidate:  the true measure of any pun is its capacity to force the listener/reader to involuntarily, Simultaneously Laugh AND Groan in a sort of queasy pain, as if suddenly punched in the stomach.  (an "odd" art form, isn't it? Laughing)

I really can spell correctly, it's just certain words I have trouble with when I'm tried and trying to spell quickly.  Sometimes I'm just a fish out of water (another bad pun), sorry motherinlaw Smile .

Instead of getting an _actual_ MD, you can always go to http://www.mydoctorgames.com/ and settle for working your way up the leaderboard there.
