I got some munchies and cocoa from some of my students, and a big bag of
peanut M&Ms from my wife.
I got a horse for my daughter.

Hmm...My sister and I got (jointly) a bunch of stuff for doing
scrapbooking...including a bunch of funky pinking-shears-type scissors,
for cutting out things with cool borders...

Well, between smoke, dials not working, and the strange rattling sound
it started making. Eventually even I can recognize when a machine has
just given up.

Yeah they do, when it's people who have spent enough time in and out of
hospitals that it really is just another way to spend a weekend. I
forget that humor doesn't translate all that well to the internet at large.
For comparison, my extended family's response was, "Well, I hope they
fed you better than last time."

Hmm, strictest confidence on public usenet that gets picked up by
google? Our definitions differ some where. Even medical latin would
indexable, and really out of place in this group.
Oh, I could describe my stay in pov code, that would work!

You know, all the times I asked for a pony, a baby brother, and a race
car, I figured it was just to pad my list to make the other stuff look
more reasonable.

Didn't Prince Philip once say of a horse and trap? "Anyone who doesn't live in a
two up and down could afford to have one."

Didn't Prince Philip once say that "nanotechnology will turn the world
into grey goop"?
Clearly the man is delusional...
