there's a doctor at one of the ERs I transport to that always wears aloha shirts under his white coat. He's a huge a-hole.

Not this future Hawaii doc, lil' lady. I'll gladly pay a little extra for air conditioning to allow me to wear my preferred long-sleeved dress shirts.
 
My dad's wearing what he would generally wear to work. My brother next to my dad looks like GOB, my sister looks like Lindsay, and my other brother looks like George Michael. Considering we moved to HI from the OC, I'd say we're the Maui version of the Bluths (though less dysfunction). My mom doesn't like it when we say she's like Lucille 1.

Don't forget it's Ashleigh Wednesday tomorrow!!
 
What's a GOB? Does that mean "kind of cute but a little too earnest"?

Oh my lord, but that show was funny. Actually I've only seen the first season, but what a hoot.

How could I forget. It means that I need to go to church with my wife at 6:30 AM (before she goes to work) and can't eat between meals tomorrow. Being a non-Catholic who only does the Lent thing so that his wife doesn't have to do it alone can be trying at times.

The tradeoff is that I get to eat seafood subs from Subway every Friday during Lent though. That's kinda nice.

I don't do lent. I just expect to get presents for Ashleigh Wednesday. 😉 So far no one's ever taken me up on that. =(

Nudge nudge... Jesse... you could do that all the time, if you wanted.

That sort of reminds me of this discussion Gina and I had last year during passover. We were talking about what we were going to do with the matzah we had left over after the week was over, and it took us about ten minutes to realize we could still eat the stuff after that... we're S-M-R-T.

Happy Ash Wednesday! (until this thread, I didn't know it was tomorrow, nor do I really know if it's a happy thing, but what can I say? (singing) I'm just a little Jew on Christmas... )

LOL. My mom likes to eat matzah -- she snacks on it randomly.

I don't really know much about Ash Wednesday either. My church doesn't do anything for it (and none of the churches I've ever been to have).
 
Ashleigh, your George Michael brother is even wearing a shirt worthy of the character. If he wore some jeans and tucked it in...dead ringer.

I, too, am not a fan of short-sleeved dress shirts. However, I can't stand long-sleeved dress shirts either - I think it's the cuffs that bother me. My solution is generally to roll the sleeves up on my long-sleeved shirts. In fact, you'd be hard pressed to find me with them not rolled up.

The white coat sleeves don't bother me, though.
 
Sometimes the guilty Catholic in me talks myself into trying to be observant during Lent. I usually forget about the "no meat on Friday" thing during the first week, though, and wind up saying screw it.

If you hadn't told me, I never would've guessed that you and Alexis are sisters. But you look like your dad.

It's the same brand of shirt that George Michael wears Reyn Spooner. My dad and George Michael also have several of the exact same shirts. Reyn Spooner's are dress shirts, but they're like $75/each.

Most people don't think we're sisters at first. A lot of people thought we were cousins only because we have the same last name.
 
I would pay a million dollars for a picture of me and all fourteen of my siblings. Doesn't exist, unfortunately... sad story. 🙁

More family photo fun!

Against my better judgment...

This is a pic of me and my sister taken a couple years ago. See the family resemblance? Neither do I, which is why I had her convinced for the longest time as children that she was adopted. (Full disclosure: her natural hair color is kind of a cross between blonde and brunette--lighter than mine.) Oh yeah, she thinks she's punk or emo or some nonsense.

That will be removed in due time.

There are anesthesiology residency directors that peruse the anesthesia forums. I just wanna make sure my posts in the Lounge don't come back to haunt me in 4th year. (long shot, I know, but better safe, I guess)

I would think if anyone would appreciate a "unique" sense of humor it would be the gassers. Who knows though, huh?

Anyways, found another pic with me and family. Here is me teaching my 2 year-old nephew the family business: pimping.

As long as the wrist bands aren't there to cover up the scars on her wrist, I think we'll be okay.

Not much of a resemblance, except maybe in the smile.

My brother and I both think we don't look alike, but we haven't found anyone else who agrees. I'll try to find a picture of him.
 
Sorry to interrupt family photo fun guys 😀 , but I was wondering if any of you could tell me if there are any Christian, non-denominational churches in your area? I am used to a church where everyone comes in jeans, there is a huge band that plays with music videos, and some pretty liberal sermon series. I am hoping there is something comparable... Know of any?

Pretty sure there is one just about a mile away from my apt. (probably 3 miles from school). I don't remember the name of it off hand, but it always seems pretty busy there.

What do you mean by liberal sermons? I usually wear jeans to church, especially when I'm studying, then I wear jeans and a Tshirt if it's warm enough. I go to a moderately charismatic church. If you want, pm me your email and I can send you the Christian Medical Association church contact list from this year (I'm the secretary).

If your church doesn't involve 3 huge projector screens and a powerpoint presentation in front of 8,000 people you're not at a real church.

I guess your definition of "real church" also includes a pastor who solicits gay prostitutes and smokes meth?

Haha no, it's just that I wasn't really raised in a family where we attended church...ever. I just recently started going on my own and there are some things about more traditional churches that I guess just don't appeal to me. For instance, our whole last sermon series was on sex - mind you it was very Christian faith based, but I imagine that there are quite a few churches out there that would never address this kind of topic. I guess any church that talks about sex is one where I feel comfortable attending :laugh:

I go here. I like it. http://www.eastbrookchurch.org/
 
I go to church at home, but have never gone elsewhere exept once (see below). So I guess that makes me a chreaster, apparently what they call some people at home (jokingly, not in a mean way). I go for Christmas and Easter, and that's about it.

I'm not really that fond of organized religion. But don't tell my mom that. Or my grandma. And catholicism is something I probably will never understand. And apparently my grandma agrees. My brother went on a date w/ a girl that my family knew, and the only thing my grandma had to say about it was, "I don't know. She's catholic."

Although I did go to a service in Madison w/ my mom and brother last fall. And I actually liked it. I probably learned more in that hour than I did in all of sunday school and confirmation combined. It was more of a progressive or liberal service/bible study. The Blackhawk something or other if anyone's familiar.

Before I started dating a Catholic I felt the same way about them. I looked at some of their more public politicized stances and had a strong distaste for pretty much everything they stood for. Then, a few months after dating my wife I found out about her faith (at the time she wasn't practicing it as much) and realized that I should probably try to have an open mind (or she would kick my ass).

After attending church with her for the last couple years and reading up a lot on catholicism I've decided that most people don't realize what they are like after Vatican II. That summit back in the 70's pretty much updated the whole faith and made it much less of a "doom and gloom" proposition. As long as you pick your parish carefully (which I imagine is the same as any denomination) you can pretty much find whatever you want in the church. The parish we go to near school is pretty much like a weekly version of akpete's Buddy Christ avatar. Good times.

So yeah. I can (for the most part) dig Catholicism, and I have no problem with most other denominations that don't spend their time trying to run gays out of town, telling schools not to teach evolution, and throwing telethons for money. Heck, I'd probably even become Catholic if it wasn't for my whole inability to believe in a deity thing.

I was just gonna say...just wait until wifey decides it's time for you to convert and you have to do the stupid RCIA classes every Sunday after church.

Nope, born Catholic here. But I have friends who converted (and my mom did, too). Confirmation class for Catholic high-schoolers is basically the same thing as RCIA...and that sucked balls.

Were you guys married in a Catholic church? We had to do the whole hoopla with the counseling and classes before we got married, and I've heard it would have been a whole lot worse if both of us hadn't been Catholic.

Just a stripper pole near the altar and the priest/pastor has to use one of those riduculous strip club DJ voices while giving his or her sermon over a Poison song. "COMIN' TO THE STAGE...JESUS!"


I actually got talked in to going to church once with an ex girlfriend and when I arrived there were thousands of people there. The pastor used these huge presentation screens and a powerpoint presentation to give his sermon. I felt like I was at a Cosco or some kind of Starbucks Corp pep rally.

Then, in high school, I got duped into going to a youth group meeting that consisted of 2 hours of indoor hockey then 2 hours of mindblowing weirdness. Topics covered included "credit cards are satanic" and "tatoos are satanic". I was absolutely convinced that they were going to make me drink the kool-aid. But, I made it out alive. The girl who dragged me to that youthgroup meeting later broke up with me because she thought I was going to hell. She actually said it.

These weren't the same ex-girlfriends btw.


Also, two of my friends met me at a bar for margaritas after their confirmation hearing/procedure/ceremony.
