Firing a sleep medicine doc...how do YOU do it?

[Jaylee]

What's even more insulting is that you're not even here on your own behalf, but your husband's! Really!

I'm starting to get just the smallest bit suspicious. Has anyone actually seen this "Mike" character???

Dr. Cloudy... you behave or else I will put you back in time out with nothing but pineapples and cupcakes to eat.

Pineapples and cupcakes are particular favorites of mine. I believe I could subsist upon them indefinitely. Thus I have no fear of your punishments. Bring on the apodosis!

Brainy, May I correct your spelling? ADIPOSIS= fleshiness, corpulence. Boy, that felt good!

I guess that fits, DoriC, but I said apodosis and I meant apodosis:

EtymologyFrom Ancient Greek ἀπόδοσις (apodosis) from ἀπό (apo, “back again”) and δόσις (dosis, “gift”)

Noun apodosis (plural apodoses)

The consequential clause in a conditional sentence.
In "I will be coming if this weather holds up", "I will be coming" is the apodosis.

Weird. I was almost sure you meant "apodosis" meaning prayers following a feast. It's the whole pineapple cupcake thing that made me think that.

Seems apodosis split into several meanings. That must have happened like mitosis or metamorphosis---right up to the point of apotheosis.

And I misread the first way through on Cloudy's post... thought I was looking at the word "apoptosis" which I had come across for the first time earlier today.

Apoptosis: A form of cell death in which a programmed sequence of events leads to the elimination of cells without releasing harmful substances into the surrounding area.

Anyway, in the spirit of the word Cloudy actually used, I'll just say...

Jaylee will swoon if Cloudy continues.

Well, now, son, that depends on whether we're talkin' Real Life or Fantasy...

I'm a new member and I just have to say good job! Over at another post they are taking things much too seriously with the character.

I knew I was going to get in trouble when I posted this but I wanted soooo much to be RIGHT!!!

Dori-- I think that's Apoptartis...

Link, I'm not falling for it and I WILL NOT GOOGLE!!

I'd thought "apodosis" meant "the condition of having left ones MP3 player at home."

One can learn a lot here.
