Someone said that on the previous page of this thread, but the general consensus is that it isn't true.

i'll check for you guys

 

[unfrozencaveman]

where are you? publix rawks

I'm in Colorado with the fam for the holiday. Just did a massive shop at the inferior "City Market". Nothing beats a Publix.

 

[MrBurns10]

P.S. I'm thrilled that I got to say this before Burnsie did, but I know she'll agree with me that there ARE no words to describe how awesome you are, caveman. 😀

Haha at first I thought you were complimenting her, then I realized you really were just cutting her down. Damn the internet for not getting across tone!

Oh and Q, I JUST turned in my Duke application. That's right, the application that's been sitting in my computer for, oh, 3 months now. The funniest part about that is that I know several of my friends from undergrad who either just turned it in or are planning to do it this week. I think we all just feel pessimistic about getting love from our own med school and figured they're not rolling, they can wait a little longer to reject us 🙂

Congrats! That's like at least three months' worth of work right there. 👍

And I *am* complimenting caveman. I would *never* cut her down. Well, at least not by posting on SDN. Maybe I *would* cut her down to her face. (Note to self: cut down the cavewoman next time you see her....) 😛

His eggnog obviously had something in it that mine was lacking. 😛

So if you weren't cutting her down, then why in the world would you be "thrilled" that you got to say that before me? I would NEVER compliment caveman. At least, not to her face. I can't let her know I like her, you know? I was, however, thinking of passing her this note if we go to the same school next year. Let me know what you think:

I like you. Do you like me? Circle one:
Yes No Maybe

I'm shooting for at least a maybe!! But in the meantime, I'll continue to play hard to get and keep telling her how prehistoric she smells.

Oooh goodie! I can hardly wait!

P.S. Burnsie, FYI *that* was sarcastic. But not really cutting her down. Just teasing her a little.

You are such a tease, Q. I bet you drive all the boys wild. And some girls too.

UC, I have yet to receive this masterpiece of literature. Or was that sarcastic too? Dammit, internet conversations, I hate you!! 😡 I really should learn to communicate with people face to face, but I can't! I...I just can't!

I wanted to say that all that matters to me is whether I can drive YOU wild, Burnsie, but I realized that I'd better not....I don't want to have my throat cut while I'm sleeping....FYI, I, too, have yet to receive the infamous finer points of caveman essay. Thus, I am reduced to reading and responding to your posts instead.

Truth be told, I never got past the title. Today was pretty much spent alternating between Law and Order and napping.

This is what I get for leaving you two unsupervised.

Damn good title, though. That ought to be worth at least a few thou.

Q, I'll show you in a couple weeks just how wild you drive me... 😉

Ok, no more Q and MrBurns sexual jokes for me...they have made me mildly nauseous. Or maybe that's the bag of mint M&Ms I just ate.

 

[unfrozencaveman]

And damn you two also for your fattening suggestions. Was it necessary to drink egg nog all day? No, not at all.

 

[unfrozencaveman]

And also, where are you guys going... without me....

 

[kkbmd2b]

i didnt hear anything about them dropping it. why do you guys think they dont use the status page anymore? 😕

did someone say that?

I called the office of admissions today (11/23) around noon. A gentleman answered the phone (but didn't give his name). The conversation went something like this:

Me: "...I'd like to check the status of my application."
Random Guy Answering Admissions Office Phone (RGAAOP): "Certainly. What's your AMCAS ID?"
Me: "####"
RGAAOP: "Your application is complete--we have everything here, including your letters of recommendation and photo. We'll let you know if we decide to consider you for an interview."
Me: "Okay...Out of curiosity, I read on the SDN that there's a website where I can check the status of my application, but when I go to that site and enter my AMCAS ID, it says I don't exist and should call your office. Should I be concerned?"
RGAAOP: "We used to use it in years past, but we don't anymore. All I can tell you is that your application is complete; the rest is beyond my control."

That was it. So, (a) did I dial the wrong number and get someone who was posing as an admissions office employee, (b) did they hire a temp who doesn't know what he's talking about, or (c) have they really stopped using the website?

I really wish this whole process was more straightforward.... Arsenic810, are you an official representative from UM? If so, can you get us the "real truth" about this site from Dr. Hinkley? Please advise.

 

[MrBurns10]

Q is interviewing at Duke in a couple weeks and is going to stay with me for a night of wild and crazy fun...surfing SDN, of course. You should get fired from work and join in.

 

[Arsenic]

i'm a 2nd year med student. last year dr.hinkley asked me to come to him with any questions you guys had about miami so that there wouldnt be any speculation and you guys would always know the truth. i'll check with him on monday about the status page. if there's anything else you want me to ask him just let me know. 🙂

Three of us in one place??? I don't know if Durham is ready for such an event.

A-man, that picture is seriously disturbing. Aren't you done with GI now? Can't you find a more aesthetically appealing x-ray?

 

[unfrozencaveman]

I'm actually thinking about firing myself from work. But I'm not coming up there even if I do, because you ate all the M&Ms I think already.

Anyway, Q, I want a full report on Burnsie in her natural habitat. I also want some verification of this alleged "boyfriend". Whoops I posted from the wrong account! Suuurrree you did.

 

[unfrozencaveman]

Again, a time where "I was just rehearsing a play" would come in handy...

no Q..... i wont be done with GI for another couple of weeks. how can you not like my avatar? its awesome! 😎

No fears, cavewoman; I have a camera cell phone, so we're covered. You can expect the transmission at 02:00 hours. This message will self-destruct in 20 seconds.....and FWIW, I'm tired and going to bed. G'night, all you Florida people, and happy Thanksgiving. 😍

Just promise me one thing, A-man. It's not you in the picture, right??? 😱

I would have saved you a bag (my mom has two or three more in the pantry...quiet thighs! stop complaining!), but thanks to your comment I'm actually going to come to Miami and eat all of YOUR M&Ms. Good luck finding any! Hahaha!

In related news, I believe Q and my imaginary boyfriend have PMed a few times. I'm really good at keeping up two identities, but it looks like I'll have to hire some actor to play the part when she comes up.

Does anyone know what M&M stands for?

Damn, this thread moves fast! Happy Thanksgiving!

its not me.. but its a real xray from jackson. with the bud logo thrown on for kicks. 😀

Phew, that's a relief. Burnsie, I think that m & m stands for Mars. If I'm wrong, post the right answer and I'll read it tomorrow. Nighty night.

I just looked it up and turns out it's Mars and Murrie. How boring.

 

[unfrozencaveman]

Did you see what your delicious M&M's did at the parade?

 

[MrBurns10]

Did you see what your delicious M&M's did at the parade?

No I didn't...what'd they do? Strip? Beat up the Snickers? Address the crowd in an obscenity-laced tirade?

 

[unfrozencaveman]

They took out a few people.

 

[MrBurns10]

Haha, excellent! Who knew the Macy's Day Parade could be so dangerous?

 

[oompa loompa]

Wow, I had no idea the Florida thread had turned into some sort of pre-allo lounge! You gals are a riot 👍

 

[MrBurns10]

Yeah...this thread hasn't actually been about Florida schools in about 10 or so pages. Although we do throw in a few questions now and then to keep those who actually want to talk about FL schools interested. 🙂

 

[unfrozencaveman]

Haha, excellent! Who knew the Macy's Day Parade could be so dangerous?

I dunno. Gargantuan candy people lumbering through the streets of Manhattan? Safer things have happened.

Plus I got that picture on CNN, where there were two links next to each other, one titled "Macy's Day Parade Highlights" and then "Injuries", as if that were a natural sidebar.

 

[gujuDoc]

Yeah, what she said ^^^^^^

😉 😉

We just throw the actual interview talk to keep this from going to the lounge.

Oh BTW, Happy BELATED TURKEY DAY to all!!!!!!!! Hope you all had a good one. 😀

My Bears look like they're taking your TB out in their new tactic of boring everyone to death, and then winning while no one cares.

I could kick a 28 yard field goal blindfolded with my hands tied behind my back while I make out with Ben Roethlisberger. Perhaps that's something Matt Bryant should have tried. 😡

I agree. If two guys love each other in the NFL, then why shouldn't they express that love during field goal attempts?

That is one sweet pirate ship though. Never saw that before.

 

[unfrozencaveman]

PS did you spend all weekend photoshopping?

 

[MrBurns10]

PS did you spend all weekend photoshopping?

I think I changed it last Wednesday...you never notice anything new about me anymore! 🙁 *sob* And Paint was my photoshop of choice. Personally, I think the resemblence between Mr. Burns and Dick Cheney is quite striking; similar mentality too. (By the way, that's a "real" picture, not one I made)

Did you see the Simpsons last night? I haven't been keeping up with the new ones, but it was actually pretty funny. And Mr. Burns was on it and I kept thinking they were talking about me.

Mr. Burns: I had originally thought I would donate this money to the Children's Hospital. But now I've decided to keep it so I can live 10 minutes longer.
Crowd: Booooooo!
Mr. Burns: Release the hounds!

 

[yrodri15]

lol man these three girls are hilarious. The bears are for real...too bad the Bucs kicker missed that last FG... he borrowed a page outta the Giant's FG kicker (3 missed FG's in one day, lol!). How did you all spend your Thanksgiving?

As for me...

*wakes up in a lethargic state around midday on Thursday....
*half-full cups of 'publix' egg nog line the immediate area.... silent witnesses to a crazy Wednesday night...

*I rub my eyes... "What am I doing with my life? ..."


lol....

Hey.. If you have a minute and want a good laugh, check out this article (fake news is the best):

excerpt: "When art teachers spend so much time in confined quarters with inadequate ventilation amid swirling clouds of glitter, it's only a matter of time before their lungs start to suffer negative effects," said Dr. Linda Norr, a specialist in elementary-school-related respiratory diseases. "Those sufferers who are not put on a rigorous program of treatment often spend their last days on respirators, hacking up a thick, dazzling mucus."

Yech! But it's good to know that if one must hack up glittery mucus, at least it will be colorful and sparkly, as opposed to the usual kind.

The Onion is the best. My all-time favorite articles are "Aspirin Taken Daily with Fifth of Bourbon Significantly Decreases Awareness of Heart Attacks" and "Video-Game Character Wondering why Heartless God Always Chooses 'Continue'". That one is especially dear to me, as I am obsessed with the Metal Gear Solid series. Here's the article: http://www.theonion.com/content/node/28288

Speaking of eggnog, I always thought that milk would be the worst chaser to, say, a shot of vodka. But eggnog has liquor and milk in it...granted not vodka, but liquor nonetheless. Is there a chaser worse than milk that I've overlooked?
