It has everything to do with that. If they could only make bacon flavored oatmeal. Thanks everybody.

Glad to hear you're home and on the mend. I'd love a few days on the couch with my reader, but I'm not willing to sacrifice my carotid (or any other part of me) to do it. By the way, "crotch wiring" isn't covered by most insurance companies, while "angioplasty" is. It's a semantic thing, I think.

And now I'm off to figure out how to create and manufacture bacon-flavored oatmeal...

Delighted to hear that they were able to sort things out for you Wes.

Literary trivia: why do British people "go to hospital" but Americans "go to THE hospital"? Just one of those quirks of language, I guess?

Good to hear you could be refurbished.

Harry, there is a paper on that available at http://ling.uta.edu/~laurel/stvan98_ch1.pdf (change the number for more chapters). In addition to that I noticed that those words in British where the "the" is omitted seem to be places where you go to do something specific. You go to the hospital, not because you want to visit that specific building, but to heal, you go to school to learn, to market to sell something, et cetera.

Wes just wait till you hit 50 (if you aren't already) and they send the camera up you to have a look around.

Anyway, glad everything is ok and your 505 kept you going.

It's so funny that you brought this up because it's something that I've been questioning for quite some time. I had decided that the difference, at least for me, would be that to "go to hospital" meant that you were actually going to be admitted to the hospital for some type of procedure while "going to the hospital" meant more of a visitation of someone in the hospital. All in all though, I think it's just the vagaries that exist within a single language that's used in different cultures. Even within the US words and phrases are used very differently from one region to another. Personally, I like it. I think language would be very boring if we all used it exactly the same way.
