Learn to love the literature, this was just published......these people know the story. Although limited to LMWH, these agents probably have the most data compared to other classes.

Did you get a job at your mother institution?

You should note that I am now listed as a Pharmist.......

I have a job, thinking about an FDA funded PhD program though. Yikes.
 
That's right. Slavin' in my pjs, posting here, and watching TV. I work hard.

I just know where to look for said articles. :meanie:

You know where to look? I posted the damn abstract in the thread.......

:meanie: :meanie: :meanie:

he gave me his "golf lesson" report... but I don't know about run for my money. But I believe you about the hotdog thing. But at least you didn't say "bbq" hot dog ..instead said "grill"
 
Grill is something you do to food. BBQ is something you eat. :meanie:


Oh NOOOOOOO miss Gly.

BBQ is a method of slow cooking meat using low heat and choice smoke from different types of hard wood based on flavor you desire and the type of meat.. It is a religious term not to be confused with any other..
 
Well I've only been here 4 weeks (as of today). I guess I haven't picked up all the hill jack (yes, someone used that term at dinner last night) terminology yet. 48 weeks left!

beef vs. pork is just that...preference.

We don't do much pork here.. Beef, it's good food. But St. Louis and Memphis folks can fight it out over who has better pork.. I have no hog in that fight.

But you can't touch our beef.
 
Well, I ma be in real Cajun country next week... gonna feast on them mud bugs.
Crawfish season's over... dork!

I'm sure you could find some boiled crawfish, but they'll be too hard to peel.

There's always seafood dishes and seafood boudin, too.



Anyway... off to the waterpark. 🙂 I can't wait! 😀
