TS people. There used to be a site that dealt with medical things, you know if you needed medical stuff in a story. Does anyone know where that is, or any site that gives easily understood emergency medical advice in a survival situation. You know, like if you're insane and write a story with sdbs who're stuck on an island all bashed up and stuff. For example, can you really splint a broken arm with a stick? I'm sure questions like that were dealt with by this TS site but I can't think of its name.

Second. Anyone up to being an American beta for me? I have an awesome Brit beta but it's been pointed out my dialogue needs work as it's a little British in sound, which doesn't surprise me as it's my weakest point. So I need someone to go through and say things like 'we don't say things like that' The story won't be finished until tomorrow at least, but if anyone wants to volunteer I'll love you for ever, or you know, a day at least ;)

Last thing. Somehow I've managed to make a square appear in the middle of my screen and it's driving me crazy. I did something with my mouse and now there's this 3d square hovering there. If I click on it it takes me back to the last page I was on, which is nifty and all but I don't want a 3D square there. It's annoying and I want it gone.

I'm not American but I'm bored and willing to help out if you can't find someone else :)

Interesting yet weird thing, that 3d square. Does anything show up in your task manager?

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Excellent. I never turn down help if I can get it. Do you want to see what I have so far? About 10 pages. Or wait until it's done?

I've just checked the manager and nothing's showing up. It's so annoying. It's small, about half a centimeter square but it has a shadow and I can't help looking at it. It's on every page too, e-mail, desktop the lot, so it's not a browser thing.

You know as much as I love my computer, sometimes it drives me nuts!

[digital-diva.livejournal.com]

Whatever you want to do is fine by me. I'm easy ;)

I'll see if the mister knows what's up with the little square. I'm really intrigued by it. *g*

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Not going to bite at that but I'm tempted ;)

I'm sending over the first part. It's at a logical break, feel free to read then wait for the rest to beta, it's up to you.

Square is still there so if the mister has any ideas I'll be really grateful.

[digital-diva.livejournal.com]

The mister asks if you can right click on it with your mouse and if you get some sort of exit button then?

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I tried right clicking and it did nothing, so I did a system reboot in the end. Which lost me my tabs again but the square was driving me insane.

I just hope it doesn't come back.

Thank you both for the help.

Here you go: Cascade Hospital (http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Academy/8097/cascadehospital/).

Holler if you need anything else. I have 1094814092 links on various stuff ;)

[turps33.livejournal.com]

YAY! Thank you!

I could remember the site but was pulling a blank on the name. Now I can start putting them together again ;)

Thanks for the offer too :)

[call-me-loca.livejournal.com]

I can help beta if you'd like.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Wonderful, thank you.

I'll send it when I've written a bit more.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Hey honey.

Can you send me your e-mail either here or at my addy turps33 at btinternet.com

I have the story to send if that's still okay but I have no addy for you.

[call-me-loca.livejournal.com]

super_grrrrrl@hotmail.com

[littledrop.livejournal.com]

drop_the_u, for Americanization. *g*

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

That looks just what I need, though I may end up stressed as I read all the 'wrong' things we do. Illogical I know, but still ;)

[claire.livejournal.com]

No, we do all the right things, then we have to make them wrong ;)

[turps33.livejournal.com]

LOL. That's so true.

If they didn't talk wrong we wouldn't have to go to all this trouble ;)

[dreamtrance.livejournal.com]

I'm not the greatest beta in the world but I'm a dialogue whore :oP

and I'll gladly read through if you still need someone.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I think a dialogue whore is exactly what I need!

I never turn down offers of help. I'll send the story as soon as I'm at a good stopping point, okay.

Thank you!

[dreamtrance.livejournal.com]

anytime! :)

[jaciesplace.livejournal.com]

Damn LJ ate my comment again! It's been doing that a lot lately!

*kicks LJ*

I'd be happy to read it over for Britishisms. No need to ask, just send it over if you want me to go through it. :)

[turps33.livejournal.com]

*kicks LJ too*

I think I like doing that too much ;)

Thank you :)

I'll send it over when I get to the next logical stopping point.

I bet if you used Mozilla Firefox instead of Internet Explorer, that cube would go away! *grins* *ducks and runs*

[turps33.livejournal.com]

That's the thing. I do use Firefox!

The square's on Firefox, IE when I tried it, my e-mail and my desktop.

I swear I'm going to bang my head on the desk soon!

[kirsten-lynch.livejournal.com]

That is very weird. I've never seen/heard of it before, so I don't know how to turn it off!

[turps33.livejournal.com]

It's actually gone now, but only after I did a full system reboot.

I still have no idea what is was, I just hope it doesn't come back.

[clumsygyrl.livejournal.com]

american and willing to beta if you're in need hon. heh.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Wonderful. Thank you! Sending story now :)

[clumsygyrl.livejournal.com]

just got back online. on a new pc... will tell details in two ticks. but yes... am on it if you still need me to?

[turps33.livejournal.com]

It had to be done for today, so it's okay.

Thanks for offering to look it over in the first place, you're a star!

Have fun on your new PC *g*

[clumsygyrl.livejournal.com]

awww damn it. i'm having a blast with the new pc. it's all shiiiiiny.

[ninjetti75.livejournal.com]

Wheeeee!

I'm off work for the next two days!

Therefore, I am actually available to beta (for once) and I know emergency medical stuff if you wanna bend my ear along those lines.

It looks like you have lots of people ready to beta, so skip me if you like, but seeing as how I pointed it out and all, I feel I should help, lol. Feel free to drop me an email with whatever version, any medical/survival/tropical adventure/whatever questions, or just drop ?s on AIM, mine is always open & I can always email you back if I miss you! :D

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Sending you the story now!

I'm not going to miss my chance to see your red pen ;)

[ninjetti75.livejournal.com]

Wow.

Did that sound dirty, or am I just a pervert? lol

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Well I'd say you're a pervert but as I've just sat giggling like crazy I suspect we just both have dirty minds ;)

[kaethe.livejournal.com]

Well, it looks like you're set for betas, but if you need another or if someone above can't do it, feel free to send the story my way.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Yeah I know, people are masochists great *g*

Thanks for the offer too. You know I love your beta style so I'll take you up on it.

Thank you.
