So... I just cleaned my bathroom for the first time in like 4 months. And can I just say that Mr. Clean Magic Eraser sponges really are magical? They really are. I'm intensely curious as to what structural properties make them scrape up grime with a single stroke that took a normal sponge about 50 strokes. I bet Cougs knows the answer since she has a thing about sponges 🤣

that's what we use to clean crayon off tables at preschool...works like a charm!

Well I already played all my cards (fantaisie impromptu and liebestraum are sadly the only songs I've learned over the past 5 years and the only ones which would impress anyone), so I guess it's time to change the subject.

This sentence taken alone sounds really really bad.
 
Asyouwereatrio has something he would like to say about sponges as well.


Maybe now you all will stop making fun of me for my sponge habits.

When I read this post about sponges, I had a flashback to the Seinfeld episode in which Elaine talks about one of her boy toys being "sponge worthy"--some kind of contraceptive device...but anyway I digress...

To answer your question, it's "magic" " 😛

PS: Cougar's sponge habits are not weird! I keep my sponges til they start to get all deformed..but whilst in use, I just microwave them every week or so to "zap out" the bacteria lol.

I'm too cheap haha!

My friend was making fun of me the other night..she was like "Asyouwereatrio, you'll buy a brand new smartphone without giving it a second thought, but when it comes to buying lunch, you'll whine about spending two dollars on ****ing value meal sandwiches from Wendys!"
 
Wait a minute!!!!!!!!!

I get labeled weird for buying new sponges, and now you're telling him to just buy new sponges?🙂

I'm suddenly not looking so bad, am I😉


Sorry Asyouwere.....thanks for taking one for the team.

The team of Cougs.😉

I am always willing to take it! That apparently has been my new role in life...to just take it for everyone else's benefit..*sigh*. Yay for sacrifice! haha.

Sponges CAN be gross..as long as you take the right precautions with them to protect yourself. Just make sure it's free of god knows what before you start waving that thing around and wiping it everywhere!

CougarMD said:
What do you use?? What do you clean your counters with?
Click to expand...

I actually clean my counter with Lysol/Clorox wipes--whatever they sell at Costco.
 
paper towels or washcloths that i can just throw in the wash with towels, etc.
 
going up up up to a spot for the meteor shower. mountains ftw. peace!
 
🙁 raining in nyc tonight, and got work to do, so can't drive out to the island and check out the meteor shower
 
Who needs a meteor shower when you're living in a secondary shower? 🙁

p.s. I was just able to write a whole secondary by recycling other secondary essays. That school just moved up a bunch in my book 👍

Hmm, i think you have received your secondaries in an unfortunate order because with the 30 schools to which I applied, I probably have like maybe 5-6 unique "essays"

Good luck with the rest!

Yeah, most of the secondaries I had were "why this school?" questions, so there weren't major differences as to what I liked about each school and how I felt its experience would make me successful in my career goals. I have a few "unique" ones left, but they're going to take so long to do I feel like and I need to finish this paper, so I'll have to take a break. Several schools will be after the "two weeks" because of it, but my committee letter isn't even up on amcas yet anyhow. 3/4 of my secondaries are in, and I made sure I got all my in state ones out first.

Aww, good luck! A lot of mine are diversity or "tell us about yourself" so used one for both of them..since my essay was about an experience which helped build my ability to work with others...but I digress!

PS: OHSU secondary is a beast...but thank god it's my last one!

Yeah, the ones I have left over are the diversity ones. The only in-state one I haven't filed out yet is Hofstra, since it just got released last week and its a bit of a beast compared to the others I've done. In terms of ones that had multiple essays, I liked Tulane the best - they were short, simple, and to the point but also asked about more than just professional stuff which was cool.

this clip from a different thread blows my mind

Suncrusher said:
Chopin is amaaazing. Further proof that Bleargh is cool

I'm in the middle of learning this song:

[YOUTUBE]WgXlgicfgzE[/YOUTUBE]

except I'm only learning up until about 1:40. Because, let's face it, the rest is boring and/or repetitive.

moving your fingers as fast as Kissin does in Bleargh's video is completely exhausting. I know this other Chopin piece that has runs only about 3/4 that fast and I can only practice it twice a day before my fingers stop moving and my forearm swells up from the exertion. Watching that video of Kissin blows my mind every time. He's like superman that he can keep that speed up

Alright. I'm done piano-geeking-out
Click to expand...

That's baller.

My amigo is a really good pianist, but he developed carpal tunnel from practicing like 8 hrs/day.

WHAT?! Figures though, I sent my secondary Thursday night, and had an invite the next morning so I'm pretty sure they auto-invite based on stats. Flow I might have to spread rumors about you to increase my chances, sorry bud.

Ah you said the words I was trying not to hear (auto invite)! Haha.

new convo topic - how did everyone come up with their usernames?

Wanted to pick a cool sounding engineering-y term. FlowRate is cool because it can be mass/volume flow rate, but also sounds like that energetic relaxed feeling you get from listening to liquid dnb

(no guarantees on the quality of video.. I didn't screen it)

Because I feel guilty when I use paper towels.. I think wash cloths are probably the most friendly option maybe.
 
On call for 4 more hours.


I hate you Flow. These essays suck.

To what extent can we describe emotional circumstances of patients we have encountered without violating HIPAA? Is the correct answer "not at all"?

i think i might like you much better then.
 
lol i just didn't know what keen meant. had to dictionary it.
got a terrible vocab.
 
just submitted my poster at work so im not trying to do any work. haha

I think you could talk about any case to the extent that the patient is not identifiable from whatever circumstances you describe, but that was just the impression I got. I don't actually know the answer
 
so I fell asleep trying to stay up to see the meteor shower last night. Fail.
 
I think my screenname is pretty self explanatory.

Wrong time of day for debauched talk, so I've got nothing else.

You can describe all aspects of a case as long as you don't give out WHO the person is. You can say John Smith, 47, came into hospital with chief complaint of chest pain, etc. Basically..can you "tie back" his symptoms/conditions to the actual person..that's when you violate HIPAA
 
Thanks for the HIPAA answers guys.

I guess the problem is....my stupidly trained brain can argue that a lot of things would allow you to identify a patient. I'm not talking about anything medical (other than the fact that she was a laboring mother) but still.

Dear Gmail Inbox,

You suck. You bring me no good news. Each night I have trouble sleeping because I am hoping that it will be like Christmas in the morning. I need some good news.

Love,
Cougs

Ditto on the email to my own gmail inbox..except:

I just got out of the shower and was looking for pants to wear...next thing to you I glance over at my phone and am like *it'd be funny if my phone were blinking with an email from a school.* Next thing you know, it IS blinking and I get all excited "OMG OMG..is this IT?!". I dig through my inbox and I see an email from a school from which I reallly would like to receive an interview invite...and then it turns out to be blank.

*womp womp*
 
Time to procrastinate finishing my secondaries to look at cute girl suits online! And cuddle with my puppy. I love not having work on Fridays.
 
Pizza break from the thesis and checking up on you boys and girls.

blank email? 😕 from a school? weird
Click to expand...

so I looked at it more carefully..they copied/pasted that my app was received into a reply email, in response to one of my emails to them. Only problem was...they pasted it in between the "day" and "month" of the "Date" line that my email was sent....it was quite odd.

Example: "Date: Wednesday, (insert copied message here) September xx"

Lol.
