If it rains, it pours.
I always experience that kind of bad luck. When I am suffering from cold today, I'll have a cough tomorrow. Then I'll have asthma. After a week (not even through from the asthma), migraine will attack. I can't go to work for a week or two.
But thank goodness, that's just once or twice a year.

Hoping for good news for your wife, too. I'll pray for that. 
Don't mind those people who say you're not HOT. At least you know you're COOL.

Thanks,
That asthma thing sounds pretty bad too. I am glad that doesn't happen to you more frequent than twice a year.

Me too. It's getting more dangerous in every attack. That's what my doctor said, and I can feel it too.

Sh*t happens, this is a PITA.
The best: you are not badly injured.
the worst: the nerves about your wife diagnostic. Let's cross fingers on that one.
Good luck!

Thanks,
Yes, I was lucky to avoid injury. Actually, I have not had any pain since the day of the accident.

You can replace the car, the wife however is more of a problem.
Prayers for her ![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif) and I hope the Porsche driver has an unexplained, uncomfortable and above all runny bowel experience as he drives along smugly.

Thanks Nagy,
I am torn about the Porsche driver. On one hand I want him to get caught so I don't have to pay anything for this. On the other hand, I want him to die in a fire...maybe after the runny bowel movement.

Dammn, that sucks - Hope you get better soon. Rest with the nice though that he probably needs to pay the repair on the Porsche all by himself.
I will never again mention that Dalek Dave was the poster of the One Millionth Lounge Post, nor that it was complete drivel.

Thanks Marco,
Yeah, I am pretty sure he has quite a costly repair he has to pay for himself.

Nope, no news yet. It is 9 PM Sunday evening here. We should get the results back Monday.

hey! what about the reports?
Were they normal??
P.S. any update about the driver?
.:>GSN<:.

Thank you for asking. Yes, the results were good news - there is no cancer. We are very relieved. :phew:
I have not heard if they caught the driver, but Tuesday they declared my car a total loss. It would cost $10,000 to fix it. So I have been to the bank and checked out a few cars, but I have not found one yet.

I hope the news from your wife's biopsy is good and they catch the SOB in the Porsche.
Along with Antimatter and Dark Matter they've discovered the existence of Doesn't Matter which appears to have no effect on the universe whatsoever!

Soren, Congratulations on being alive, and my condolences on your terrible experience !

Best of luck to you and your wife.
I've had these sorts of "it's raining sh*t and no umbrella" periods in my life, so I know what it feels like.

Thanks Gary,
Yes, it seems like they should be able to find the driver. Even in a city as big as San Diego.

"A rose by any other name would smell just as sweet."
No doubt.
But what you call things does matter. Abe Lincoln trumps the bard this time (paraphrased): "If you call a tail a leg, how many legs does a dog have? ... Four! It doesn't matter what you *call* a tail, it's still a tail, not a leg."
The "View" in Model-View-Controller (MVC) should be called "Sensory," not "View" because, quoting "Programming Android" by Mednieks, Dornin, Meike, and Nakamura (the "Droidians of 4"):
"...a view is the portion of the application responsible for rendering the display, sending audio to the speakers, generating tactile feedback, and so on."
IOW, it's not just about visuals; it's also about audibles and "tactibles."
Who comes up with this nomenclature? Calling stuff by non-optimal names makes it harder to perceive just what is what. Maybe the software development profession should have a body, like the Académie française[^]to keep stuff like this in check.

I guess it was a View when the only aspects of the sensory that were relevant was what the user could see on the screen.
The name that totally annoys me is MVVM. Whoever thought that was a good way of naming the pattern needs spanking.
