My mom keeps telling me that people have babies in vet school all the time. Really mom, is that so?

I can't even imagine. I am amazed by the parents in my class, especially the few single parents we have. We also have a husband and wife in my class with a 6 month old. I don't know how they do it.

Saw Doctor Strange last night and really enjoyed it (though I will readily admit that I like all of the MCU and as long as I'm entertained for a few hours I'm good). I am bemoaning the fact we don't have an IMAX here so had to settle for regular 3D. Probably one of the few movies that really benefits from 3D, it's got some really gorgeous visuals. I could see it making some people a little motion sick depending on how sensitive you are. Only nitpicks: Some of the medical stuff (that's not how you gown and glove aseptically, and I don't care how cute Rachel McAdams looks in a scrub cap, her hair needs to be contained better than that!), and I will never get used to Benedict Cumberbatch's American accent.

I squeed over the mid-credits scene.

I really enjoyed it as well! Saw it last night! I agree 3D was a good choice, and usually I hate 3D, but it was our only option. I was pleased with it overall.

Same on all counts! BF and I both got headaches from the 3D
 
We're watching a movie that's not particularly sad, but my mom has been crying all the way through. Now she's eating an apple and sniffing loudly between bites. It's hilarious and annoying but it's 100% my mom. :laugh:

Reminds me of the time my sister took my dad and I to her high school's production of Beauty and the Beast (she wasn't even in it, she wanted to see her friend in a very bit part though) and he cried the whole way through.

I was trying to figure out why my car's clock was off! I always get confused since I've lived in places that did and didn't do daylight savings time and I always forget why the clocks are intentionally confusing me.

They're currently saying 5.3 mag and it was about 15 mi from me, so we got a decent shake. Not as bad as the one in Sept though, that one was scary. Or maybe I'm just starting to get used to them since they've been happening like once a week....
 
So my boyfriend's birthday is coming up on the 19th, but he's currently studying abroad in China, so I'm not sure what to do for it. I got him a couple real presents to give him when he comes back, because I'm sure I can't afford shipping to China, and apparently it takes months for even regular mail to get there. I'd like to have something for him on the actual day, but basically I'm limited to anything that can be sent via email or Facebook messenger. Anybody have any suggestions?

He doesn't have an e-reader, and I'm not too familiar with Steam or Origins. I should also mention that he has really crappy internet there (like, too slow for Netflix or Skype to work), so downloading a large file probably wouldn't work either. But thanks for the suggestions!

Write a really nice letter? Old fashioned love note? Fb video date? My SO and I like to Cook the same meal while skyping and then eat together. Make a slideshow of you guys and email it? Hmmm. That's all I got. It's hard when you can't send mail. My so sent me one box in Africa where I had to open things in a certain order and listen to a certain song while I read a certain letter. Then watch a movie that he sent. It was great but it took him a while to set it all up. It also took a long time to get to me. Lol. I'm sure you'll think of something!!

Send pictures (or picture) of what he can expect when he gets back to the States. Not sure what type of relationship you two have, but you can make it suggestive yet tasteful (if you're comfortable with that). Heads up though he'll expect everything in that photo when he gets home.

A friend of mine did this when her husband was overseas. She had tasteful but risqué pictures taken then made a 12 month calendar out of them. He LOVED it!

@LyraGardenia Boudoir pics. seriously. They're tasteful (normally) and really pretty, and most photographers will work around your comfort zone. I never did them myself, but I've had several friends do a shoot and they've all turned out beautifully.

I also planned on something like this at some point: http://lovebookonline.com/ and there's loads of variations on that as well, but shipping may be an issue.

The only thing I'd possibly look into a bit is what ramifications you may face for sending certain types of pictures/videos to China. Their laws regarding the subject are vague, but they still do quite a bit of censorship over there last I heard (I had a buddy over there a few years back who complained...). Even if they went through, it'd be weird to think that someone somewhere may have had to approve your private photos, or that they went through some database or something....idk. Food for thought.

does anyone have any suggestions as to a good forum for mixed breed puppies? we have new puppy, has been years since we have had one, and looking for a little guidance on a couple of issues, like slowing down her eating, and her 'nipping'...

Best thing for my dog was taking him to puppy/obedience classes. The trainers typically have seen it all and can give good advice/suggestions and it becomes a time dedicated each week to training your pup.
 
Thanks! Unfortunately, I live in an area where there are limited options; and they won't allow classes until they are 6 months old. I am not sure that it is good to wait that long...our vet had referred us to the training classes; I think they may be getting tired of our questions!!

I second this; I think they look far better than any other kind of photo. And if they ever happened to get out to the wrong set of eyes, you (usually anyway) have enough clothing on for it to not be scandalous.

I've never had them done myself, but I have done a few boudoir-style shoots for friends. Every time was really fun to do, people can really express themselves through them.

You can't beat free! Hope you have fun. Maybe next year or at another symposium.

I went to the Large Animal Symposium at Tennessee a couple of weeks ago. It was only $20, and it was well worth it. I'm not really inclined to track solely large animal, but I can see where it might be beneficial to work with small ruminants, chickens, etc. in a mixed practice. Plus, some of the larger shelters back home care for livestock when needed.
