Hmmm..
They always gave me indigestion.... it was the frangipanic layer that did it!
Actually, I am partial to Bloodwine - but I always get a headache with it.. Not down to overindulgence, I hasten to add, just that if you drink with Klingons, they insist on headbutting you as way of "bonding"!
Come back Quark, all is forgiven, at least he knows how to run a bar!

LOL!
I like the chart though as i test my vision with it! I find it very reassuring to know that i can read six lines on it without actually wearing lenses, and i'm a normal distance from the screen, and that with a lens in i can read eight lines which is almost to the bottom! But i don't quite think it is my vision being a problem then, but the graphic getting blurry!
So whoever said i had bad vision! LOL!
I think with the little tiny writing i have even without wearing lenses i am obviously making it all up, and only really complained so much last year as i went from 6/6 vision to not being able to even see the light box! So maybe being a perfectionist is not a good thing and now it's 6/9 losing one line is no big thing, although relying on just one eye to do it is!!

Oh what have I been missing here guys! So much Trek talk!
Lynn, you are quite a well informed Trekkie, now I think you should deck your workplace like a sickbay.
There is a dentist who has done that.
I love the transformation of 7 of 9, and her struggle with regaining her humanity. I also liked 7 with the future Borg [can't remember his name].
I love Data wanting to be more human, the episode where he creates his daughter has me wailing at the end. Then the Vulcans suppressing their emotions which makes the pon far so hysterically funny. I wish real life was as good, ethical and humane as Star Trek.

On the subject of husbands yes I'm more than happy to get married and have an online husband here, so any offers please post;
1] your reasons for wanting to marry me
2] what you can offer me [must include cake/ice cream/choccolate
3] state whether you are prepared to live in a Borg cube
Then our marriage can of course be conducted by Andrew as our rev, Sweet & Vic can be my bridesmaids and then we can decided whether we want to be the online Duckworths, Dot & Jim or Terry & June.
You see online husbands look like a much better deal to me than real life ones!

Louise...
Ahh yes... I actually think the Original Series sickbay was funny with all those indicators going up and down.. certainly made being there as a patient much more fun!
7 of 9 was a good character, even though the latex suits were so obviously directed at male trekkies hehe! However, I did find the Borg as a whole intensely irritating. All this ignoring you if you were not a direct threat.... why not assimilate you anyway?
I actually preferred Deep Space Nine because it could do longer story arcs rather than throw lots of different storyines together.
Now what I actually want to get my hands on is one of those nifty medical tricorders....
