I believe him. Biologically and medicinally, it makes sense... I guess it's just not as common. I "kept" my first aid manual, since I had a poor instructor, and I made sure to study it carefully. Ephedrine is more readily available in an emergency, but adrenaline is more powerful and hospitals would keep it handy; but I'd rather stick an Epi-Pen in my pocket rather than an expensive vial of adrenaline.

Well, anyway... When are you guys gonna wrap this case up? I was getting a bit bored waiting for signs of it ending, and for talk of the next case beginning. So I thought I'd look to see when it started... It started on 23RD MARCH!!!! Good grief, that's two and a half months ago almost. There are people who single-handed could write a several hundred page novel in that amount of time... H.

As someone mentioned before, not all of us have the time to go online every single day. Plus, I'm trying to write in the case but I just don't know how should I fit my character in.

Eh... he has a point. Maybe he should take over Dr. Robbins' part if we don't hear from him soon. Y'know, the victim's body *IS* a tad important to a murder case.

I will PM the person that plays Dr. Robbins. We can't just let other people take over other characters.

Indeed. Patience is a virtue, but sometimes it is an excuse for inaction...
(Yes, I just made that up. Isn't it just like something Grissom would say...)
If the doctor can't be rustled up, perhaps you should introduce another second doc? I don't really want to be a doc, but if no one wants to be a doc because we all want to be CSIs, maybe a couple of us should take on two characters, the second one being a doc....
Alex from Miami is not spoken for I believe. And I don't know what the name of the doc in New York is, but I guess someone could take on his character too if need be. I haven't watched NY much....

Hehehe. Yes, it is perhaps a little exaggerated. But your average prolific novelist probably aims at a novel a year. And there are indeed some who manage a lot more. Like Barbara Cartland who for most of her life wrote 10 books a year. She wrote 720 novels, biographies and cookery books, and a further 160 unpublished ones. Of course, I've never read any of them, I doubt they are worthy of Shakespeare... But a lot of people liked them apparently.
Making money at writing these days is largely about speed rather than quality. You need to be able to churn it out to make a living.

But do we really need a Doc at this point? I think that we have enough things to work with right now. Besides, I gave Brian some other stuff to do.

Do you guys really need a doc at all to wrap up the case? Maybe not. Since I'm not on this case, I'm not really paying that close attention...

I don't think so. If 'Sam' identifies the signature as made by the same person who wrote the note, the case'd be a lot further. So I think I'll let Sam go back to the lab so she can identify it. I just don't know if I should let it be that Keith (right?), 'cause he doesn't fit the description. But he could still be it.

Actually, Grissom said in one episode, "Sometimes the hardest thing to do, is to do nothing."
And I was just worried, because the body never really made it back to the lab, and that doesn't look good in court :-P
But yes, thank you for the CD! I hope I handeled that well... if my information conflicts with something else, tell me quick so I can fix it before anyone notices -- this plot is very thick, but with very few suspects lol

This sounds very much like something Grissom would say. But he is a forensic scientist, and clearly it is vital to be patient in such a job. You must wait until the evidence is in before locking someone up for 100 years... And you need patience to gather that evidence too, many people probably wouldn't have the patience to do a fingertip search of a house for instance, looking for single fibes and hairs.
Nevertheless, I stand by what I said, and think Grissom would agree with it too. All too often, people do not act when they should, when the evidence is in that they should. Just as they also act when they should not. It goes both ways.
Yes, you should wait until you have reason -- or evidence -- saying you should act. But once you have good reason, or strong evidence, you should not delay through lethagy, self-interest or whatever. If you see someone collapsed in the street with a heart attack, you have with your own eyes enough evidence to immediately know you should rush to their assistance without delay.
The problem is a great deal of the time people don't care, or don't think about when they should act, and when they should not. This is just another way of saying people are irresponsible, or foolish (and many are both, nearly all, including myself of course, are one or the other to a greater or lesser degree).
What I love about Hamlet -- and what is great about him -- is that he both cares very much and thinks about whether to act or not.

Hmm I think I get the point of what you are saying. Though I'm not all sure I got it. But I do react sometimes in a situation and then a bit later, I think; Should I have done that? This happens more and more lately, because now everytime there is a situation when I want to react, I think; Should I react? Ah who cares, I just react. And then later on, I think; I shouldn't have reacted on that. Even though I wanted to. Is this a good example of what you meant? 'Cause I'm afraid I didn't get all of it, you sound much smarter than me. Ah well, everyone sounds much smarter than me, I think

Actually you sound very smart right here scorpii. I think I'm the one who usually sounds silly. I get what your saying. I think I'm the queen of regretting every single thing. Every time adter I post, I think "Wow that sounded stupid. I should edit that" and usually I do, but I still think it sounds pretty bad. I guess I just have self esteem issues.
