I try to do homework, but i find it very difficult, especially when I have to use more than one book, so i usually watch DVDs or TV, or listen to music

I ususally listen to music or watch tv. Once i get bored of that i start to think about how my life has ended up this way. Then i start to solve all the problems of the world. Last but not least i start to have lustful thoughts of some of the hot nurses and techs.

i am a 51 year old male on dialysis for 3 years now. This is my second time. My brother donated a kidney to me about 13 years ago. I found this site on another site. I had to laugh when i saw what it was called. I hope to meet people from all over to talk about dialysis.

Up until now Joe has slept through dialysis.  Today he commandeered my laptop and listened to my downloaded music and watched a movie.  I don't think I'll be seeing my laptop back anytime soon.   :lol;

oh man Keefer I want in your unit. We have NO hot nurses at mine... except for the psych nurses who assist one of the patients who well.. let's just say she needs them. Somehow they all seem to be young and gorgeous.. it's almost enough to make me want to get myself certified.... almost! Sponge bath anyone?

OK I listen to podcasts on my ipod/music.. read a bit... umm chat with some of the staff and even patients if they're nice... oh and on Saturdays I listen to the footy on the radio.. the time ALWAYS passes quicker when I'm engrosed in a game! (except when it's my team playing and they lose... again *sigh*)

I'm on the cycler, so I am on the computer, which is next to my bed, I read, I talk on the phone, if I am at my fiancee's house, I watch tv with Coz our cat. Mostly, especially in the evening, I try to sleep.

If you can smile when things go wrong, you have someone in mind to blame.

Lead me not into temptation, I can find it myself.

Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning how to dance in the rain.

Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.
