You can put away your popcorn...it appears that was the entirety of that drama. Besides, it isn't like I was going to argue-I don't actually know the kid, just making an observation 😛
Off to kill some bacteria!

had a beautiful morning outside: went for a 2.5 mile walk, then picked up the little one and we went to the playground and the farm to say hi to the cows🙂


now i'm hoping she'll be as considerate as she was yesterday and take a nap while all the good games are going on😛
 
LOL, is it me or has the cbs sports online thing slowly increased the # of commercials during break since yesterday morning

See, it doesn't bother me that he filled out the bracket. That's fine, it is actually fairly cool that he's very into sports.

It just bothers me that ESPN makes such a big deal about it and that he's always inviting sports teams (even ones that didn't win championships) to the White House, which takes up a whole day he could be using to do other things. Not to mention that huge vacation he took after being in for like 3 weeks. He just seems lazy for a president.

Lazy for a President? Dude's taken 26 days of vacation during his first year in office.

Compare that to President Bush, who took 69 days of vacation time in his first year. I might also add that he's the record holder for most Presidential vacation time.

In fact, in President Bush's 8 years in office, he spent 879 days at his Crawford ranch (~30% of his total Presidency).

I mean no offense, Metallica, it's just that your personal bias against President Obama is pretty transparent.

This is the reason I have completely stopped watching ESPN in the past 2 years (even mike and mike). Those people know nothing about sports or reporting. All they do is report on stars which I don't care about or don't want to hear about 24/7. I care more about the sport rather than Lebron/Kobe/Brett or anyone else. I think they absolutely suck as a sports station but when you're the only major one I guess you can get away with it.
 
I used to be in love with ESPN myself back in the highschool days. Now I absolutely hate it.... way too much Hollywood and hardly enough sports coverage. Actually Mike and Mike is in my opinion one of the better shows. And you can never go wrong with baseball tonight... though it kinda sucks now that Gammons left.
 
Xavier is burning me right now... shoulda went with the Ohio pride but I thought Minny was gonna bring it

Yea, Mike and Mike is awesome I can just never catch it on time. I like their no bs just sports approach. I'm not a huge baseball guy myself, just too many stats and slow paced for me. I lost all respect for any sports coverage on ESPN when they brought trent dilfer in for football analysis. I mean seriously? What the heck does a career backup who was the master at check downs know about football. Bringing in Jon Gruden was a great move but they still haven't gotten me to watch their station though. I will say this though, other than Micheal Wilbon and Mike and Mike, ESPN is the TMZ of sports.
 
OU baby!!!! ya gotta believe!!!!

OSU v OU sweet 16 here we come.

crawford is beasting it. that dunk over lbj may be for real

....why were you looking nearly 20 pages back into a thread to pull some obscure comment and call someone out for your first post?
 
Oh cool.

My apps: Went to Yoda's hood yesterday, and found it pretty boring lol. But I could make a home out of it and my interview was the absolute best one I've had all season which leaves me with a positive impression.

Rejected by Darmouth, Temple and NEOUCOM over the past few days

Ditto.

So I have a question for all you. If you have a choice between writing a letter to the associate dean of a school versus just sending one generally to the adcom, which would you do? Also, if you are writing to the dean of the school, do you adress him/her as Dean ____ or Dr. ____?

Ive always called the schools...but for the 2 schools i wrote LOI to, I addressed them to dear admissions committee as the person on the phone said it didnt matter who i addressed it too as it would get to the right individual. Hope that helps 🙂. Honestly i doubt it matters how you address it but call if paranoid 🙂. Also remmeber that the dean doesnt always make decisions on who gets in and who doesnt depending on the school and how they do the WL/acceptances.

I think addressing as Dean is safest. Also, I would write directly to the Dean's email address, not the admissions office.

See that's what I was kinda thinking too. I get the feeling that when you send stuff to the admissions office, no one actually ever gets around to reading it.

We can agree to disagree, but I never once mentioned any previous president in my posts. I mean no offense as well, but I think it's moreso your personal bias against President Bush that is coming out quite well after the fact.

Woot, go Siena.

All of my Sweet 16 teams are still alive with Xavier and Cornell winning.

Yeah, I feel the same. Whether or not that's true, it's just a measure of personal comfort...:luck:
 
This letter talk reminds me that I need to send my Baylor letter this upcoming week, probably on Tuesday.

I was going to send it directly to the Dean of Admissions and maybe the Dean that makes the phonecalls (I think he is the overall dean of education or something?), but I don't know how good sending it to the latter will work.

if you feel more comfortable with the dean then do that, however you will be sending the letter to the admin office so its not going to make much of a diff?
 
Someone explain to me that if we're supposed to hate the healthcare bill as future physicians, why the AMA is tentatively supporting it. Why are they not crying out against it if it's so bad for us?? This is an honest question, I'm not trying to rile anyone up, I really want to know what the AMA likes about this bill and what everyone on these boards hates. It just doesn't line up. 😕

Interesting.

Wouldn't you think the AMA with all of their old school rich doctor stereotypes would be the most opposed to it?

Maybe they already have their money and will continue to get it, so they don't care. :laugh:

😕 Overall, I have no idea, therefore no opinion. Whatever will happen is going to happen, and there's not much we can do about it.

well, I think this line "the American Medical Association, which represents the nation’s doctors" isn't exactly true. I think the percent of the nation's physicians actually in the AMA is very low

Regardless, the American people see the AMA as representing the nation's doctors, so what they say does carry considerable weight, and that weight is currently pushing in the direction of health care reform, for better or worse.

Whatever a person's opinions on the bill are, there's one thing we can all agree on: our careers will be permanently changed in major ways depending on the result of this upcoming vote. It's worth paying attention to. 👍
 
I love how I am doing horrible on facebook... but am tied for second in my yahoo league... with the exact same bracket. :laugh:

I feel the same way, except that I don't understand what's going on with the whole thing, so I don't feel like paying attention to it, even though I realize that it is very important. :laugh:

It is odd that there are so many more people in the facebook bracket than the yahoo one.

I forgot to enter my bracket on either facebook or yahoo! I'm just doing mine at work. All our departments are competing.
 
Also.. I'm glad I didn't put a single cent toward it this year :laugh:

I would honestly like to see underdogs win and my bracket crumble as the games would be more exciting and I could careless as I have no money riding on anything.
