You know what I find hilarious? Febreze Scent Stories. What IS that thing??
What are Febreeze Scent Stories and where can I find them? Ugh, I am SO out of the Febreeze loop.unfrozencaveman said:
I woke up this morning with the Swiffer jingle in my head. You know, "something something something, you must swiffer! and something something something something...YOU MUST SWIFFER!" Very clever of them to play off that 80's song. I hate clever cleaning products.
I love clever cleaning products. I have a Roomba, who I would say qualifies as one of my closest friends.
Seriously, no one has seen commercials for "Febreze Scent Stories"?????? It's like a weird CD player that "plays" scents. Yeah, exactly. I have no idea what that is. Google it. And then someone explain it to me.
So I just went to the website and this is the dumbest product I have ever seen, with the Furby coming in at a close second. I love the FAQ:
-Does the Scentstories machine also play music?
No, the Scentstories machine only accepts Scentstories perfumed discs.
-Can I skip over a scent?
Yes, scents can be easily skipped by pressing the play/next button on the machine.
Next, they're going to come out with Febreze ScentStories in mp3 format. 🙄

Yeah we're not getting one in our mansion next year Burnsie.
Caveman--I know about the Febreeze scent stories! I can't believe noone else has heard of them. I also don't understand the purpose of them aaaaand they're quite pricey for an air freshener.
For the benefit of everyone else here, febreeze scent stories are these air fresheners that go onto this machine/contraption and are timed to give off different scents. (e.g. Rainy day, dewey (?) meadow, cinnamon apple, etc). I'm sure there's something about it on the febreeze website.

Well...okay. However, I must warn you. I've often sprayed my boyfriend with Febreze after he works out and doesn't get in the shower right away. Be prepared for a similar fate.unfrozencaveman said:

I am very much looking forward to spraying your boyfriend with Febreze.

In other news, my newest pet peeve are those interactive advertisements located at the top of your/my AIM buddy list. The worst is the GAP one where it says "rollover for gift ideas", and if the mouse remotely touches it, it expands into this huge screen that takes forever to get out of when you're on a crappy old computer that they gave you at work because you're the newbie. Every friggin time I try to sign off or click on someone's name, that damn thing pops up. SERENITY NOW!

Wow didn't think there were too many USF students on here. I mostly keep running into people from Miami, Ft. Lauderdale area or from Gaineseville/North Florida area on here. Well with the exception of one or two other people.
Yeah I took both courses. They are sooooooooo stupid. They are just a ton of busy work and pretty lame.
That said, they can be pretty easy and I recommend people get them out of the way by finishing them in 2 or 3 days. That's all that is needed to finish both courses.
What are some "issues in sports"?
Well I'm not sure about any all-inclusive examples, but from the perspective of the US Men's soccer team, their issue in sports is having an impossible opening round in the World Cup. Italy AND the Czech Republic?? Not good, not good.unfrozencaveman said:
gujuDoc said:And to think Issues in Sports is an exit course!!!!!!!!😉 😉
Hahahaha I know!
Actually, there were a number of easy exit classes. Did you ever take Issues in Music? The stupid lectures are on WUSF channel 16 in the middle of the night ALL THE TIME!

No. I didn't even know of the existence of that one. I just know all the premeds take Issues in Sports and Childhood lit. Some take Lit in the Occult which requires work but is worth it because it is pretty interesting.

Stop talking about Florida schools in this thread. That's completely uncalled for.gujuDoc said:
I also think that USF does not award scholarships. Or, if they do, they didn't award ME a scholarship. 😛QofQuimica said:Stop talking about Florida schools in this thread. That's completely uncalled for.
LMAO!!!!!!!
Just throwing in med school stuff to keep it in preallo, my dear 😀 😀 😀
But carry on. So where are we at now, mint M&M's still??????

Guju, you've missed about a week's worth of fine FL entertainment. I still haven't tried those infamous mint m & ms. But, Burnsie promised to buy some just for me. 😀gujuDoc said:LMAO!!!!!!!

Geez, Q, you make me house you in my apartment for two nights, and then you expect a bag of mints to be waiting on your pillow?? You're so high-maintenance! Oh, and by the way, remember that poll we wanted to start? Well it can't POSSIBLY be any less related to pre-allo than "Do you smoke weed?" So come on, make it! Everybody loves you, and a mod would never get into trouble. I, on the other hand, am pretty sure I've already been blacklisted.QofQuimica said:
and guju, I think we were more onto the topic of clever/obnoxious cleaning products. but if you'd like to get onto another alimentary topic, lately I have been enjoying cinnamon graham crackers to no end. They're excellent with milk but you don't want the cinnamon coming off the cracker and into the milk because that's gross, so instead of dipping it I like to take a bite of cracker and then take a sip of milk. man...how did I not get a 43 on MY mcat?

You know someone who got a full ride to USF??? I want one too!!! We want full rides for all the USF acceptees! Who's with me????DrMike24 said:
DrMike24 said:
Don't know how that happened because as far as Mr. Larkin has told us, there are no scholarships at USF.
REL,
If you see this message could you comment on whether or not USF has scholarships??? If there are scholarships, could you comment on what is required to obtain them for Dr.Mike??
Thanks

Runner picked the same campus as me. 👍gujuDoc said:
Guju--Yeah, I'm leaning heavily towards Miami. I (unexpectedly) was very impressed with FSU, but I think UM is a better match for me. My only hesitation is 1) the higher tuition and 2) worried about my class rank at Miami (based on the GPAs of matriculants at UM v. FSU, it seems like I might be able to obtain a higher class rank at FSU and I'm not sure how this would affect residency). But overall, I'm leaning ~90% towards Miami.
Q--I'm so excited! Have you spoken with any of the students from there? I had a bunch of questions about FAU so Dr. Hinkley put me in touch with some students after my interview and they were so helpful. Now I just have to figure out when I'm going to visit--I'm thinking January. What made you choose FAU?

Yes, I've already been to visit. Check your PM box. 🙂RunnerMD said:
Dutifully bumping, post SDN meltdown.
RunnerMD said:
In regards to class rank, I would not assume that lower numbers at FSU will mean that you'll have a higher chance of getting at the top there then at UMiami. No matter where you go, you still work the same amount of work to get the grades.
Its probably better to look in terms of curriculum.
gujuDoc said:
Very good point! I know med school will be challenging no matter where I go. One thing that I really liked at Miami was the academic societies--I think that will be a great tool for dealing with year-to-year issues. As of right now, I'm about 90% sure I'm choosing Miami (praying for a scholarship!!!)
caveman- you're not going to believe this, but Q was very indifferent about the mint M&Ms. I really should throw her out of my apartment and make her sleep on the street. 😡
