Class of 2017!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Since I am getting married in December and flowers are expensive/unreliable in December, I decided to make flowers.

Yep.

I am making flowers.

The best part is the paper was on sale and only costed 12 cents apiece. I can make three flowers from each piece of paper. That means I can do all the flowers for like $80. I just have to make several hundred of them...

Those are amazing! How do you make them? I showed my girlfriend and now shes so curious
 
That morning after Beer Olympics and a night when you get sprayed with beer and whiskey.. :beer:

This looks like a horrible idea. She wasn't even holding on to it when inhaling. That could have shot down into her lung or blocked off the trachea.
 
Ah, way to go, BABS, you got all the girls fired up about your paper flowers 👍
 
I feel like I have not been here in forever.....oh hai

So... any update on computer-smashing emoticons?

AMCAS opens in two weeks. What a difference a year makes. Watching the class of 2018 gear up for the cycle makes me feel like this.

I just started doing the Certiphi background check thing...the second page of the form asks for ALL previous addresses 😱 ...but then only gives space to input seven 😆

My parents moved a lot & I went to 8 different schools in K-12. I've mostly kept up the pattern in adulthood...and I'm almost 30 now.
Yeah, I had the same issue. Oh well.
Where did Guero go? 🙁
I try to avoid SDN on the weekends and replace it with sex and EtOH instead. 😉

+1, so freaking glad it's over.
 
Just watched some of the fireside chat and it looks great guys! It's cool to see what your all look like in real life 😛, but well done, well done.

Strange, I was disappointed you weren't sipping on tequila 🙁
 
I haven't watched the whole fireside chat but the two things I've gleaned from it so far:

Guero - I'm no longer freaked out by your avatar.

Strange - I no longer think you're drunk at all hours of the day. But maybe you just held off for this video...

Okay what even ever. I have a life outside of alcohol.

Back in the office! Catching up to e-mail.

Good morning y'all!

Also- did any of you hear about Pablo Neruda's body being exhumed? It makes me want to read his biography.
 
For those of you into public health stats:

CDC Releases Sortable Stats Update - Sortable Stats (http://wwwn.cdc.gov/sortablestats/), the site that gives you easy access to extensive data on death rates, risk factors and other public health indicators, has been updated to include even more. The latest version of the site now includes: downloadable fact sheets by state or by indicator; Federal Region estimates (where available); and 2010 and 2011 data for numerous behavioral risk factors and health indicators.

The downloadable fact sheet is pretty cool. I am looking at my future state's stats.

"The court-ordered exhumation seeks to establish what caused Mr. Neruda's death in a private clinic in Santiago on Sept. 23, 1973, less than two weeks after a military coup toppled the nation's socialist president, Salvador Allende, a close friend of the poet." (NYT)

Just days after Pinochet comes to power Neruda dies... a bit coincidental if you ask me.

Also...

"Among the more damning pieces of evidence are reports from the pro-Pinochet El Mercurio newspaper the day after Neruda's death, referring to an injection immediately beforehand. The official death certificate said an advanced and incurable cancer led to malnutrition and wasting away.

"There were three main voices who could have continued the Allende legacy," said Eduardo Contreras, a Chilean lawyer who has been pushing for a thorough investigation of Neruda's death.

"There was Allende, Víctor Jara [the folk singer] and Pablo Neruda. Allende died on the day of the coup, Jara soon after, the only one left was Neruda. Why not eliminate the third symbol? I can't assure that he was killed or who might have done it, but there are too many suspicious acts [not to investigate]."...

"We have world-class labs from India, Switzerland, Germany, the US, Sweden, they have all offered to do the lab work for free. That is the tenderness that he still provokes in people." (Guardian)

I just won one of those fb contests! (you know, the "like and favorite and share to win" contests). $400 gift card to Indochino! Bought my interview suit from these guys--SO surprised that I won! Perfect way to start tax day 🙂
