Hahahaha the way you posted that bad word just reminded me of the most random funny thing I heard some time back.

So someone who had an interview at USF (I forget who now) told me this story that the admissions director REL had told them.

The story is that during one interview day REL and the interviewees were on a bus on the way to downtown Tampa to tour the main teaching hospital. On the way there he was going down a list of names of who should be there and spelling people's names out. Well one of the guys was an east asian and his name was spelled FU. Everyone started laughing because when you hear F U you automatically think of someone saying the F word to you, but it just happened that was the spelling of the student's name. I think I would have started laughing had I been there to see that one.

My client cancelled 🙁 We're switching our therapy days to Mondays since this is the 3rd week in a row for cancellations.

Usually i drop the clients if they keep cancelling, but this is a single mother with 2 kids working 7 days a week and has had sitters cancel on her at the last minute. (Contrary to what others think i do have a soft spot for single moms!)

At any rate, she's off on Mondays starting next week so hopefully we can get a routine schedule for her daughter's speech therapy.

This is one issue in general I don't like with speech therapy - all the good jobs (30K + a year) require you to travel. In my case, I do all my work in others' homes. If they cancel, I don't get paid, even if it's 1 minute before therapy time and I've already driven 30 miles to their house (I live in a rural area, too).

Even when i worked in nursing homes I had to cover 5-6 of them a week so I still put a large amount of miles on the car.

I can't wait to be a doc. Even the rural physicians I know don't drive as much as me (in my area at least!).

For some reason, I feel more confident posting in pre-allo, but I'm definitely watching my mouth!

BTW - good call on closing that calc-based physics thread.

I think it just looks like a dog too. I want to see more pics.

I had a gigantic kidney tumor today and was overrun by clinicians wanting to look at it. I will post the pics soon.

I hope you're going to be OK! Will you need surgery? How big is the tumor? Can you pee?

J/K - I know it's probably something you're referring to from path today! 😀

This could be any state, whoever sent the jokes just happened to pick on West Virginia. Seems a couple of other states would work really well too! :laugh:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
A guy from West Virginia passed away and left his entire estate to his beloved widow, but she can't touch it 'til she's 14.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

How do you know when you're staying in a West Virginia hotel?

When you call the front desk and say, "I gotta leak in my sink," and the clerk replies, "Go ahead."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

How can you tell if a West Virginia redneck is married?

There's dried tobacco juice on both sides of his pickup truck.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Did you hear that they have raised the minimum drinking age in West Virginia to 32?

It seems they want to keep alcohol out of the high schools.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What do they call reruns of "Hee Haw" in West Virginia?

Documentaries.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Where was the toothbrush invented?

West Virginia. If it had been invented anywhere else, it would have been called a teeth brush.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A West Virginia State trooper pulls over a pickup on I-77 and says to the driver, "Got any ID?"

And the driver replies "Bout wut?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Did you hear about the $3 million West Virginia State Lottery?

(Come on- this is funny!)

The winner gets $3.00 a year for a million years.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The governor's mansion in West Virginia burned down!

Yep. Pert' near took out the whole trailer park. The library was a total loss too. Both books - poof! Up in flames and he hadn't even finished coloring one of them.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A new law was recently passed in West Virginia. When a couple gets divorced, they are STILL cousins.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A guy walks into a bar in West Virginia and orders a mudslide.

The bartender looks at the man and says, "You ain't from 'round here, are ya?

"No," replies the man, "I'm from Arkansas".

The bartender looks at him and says, "Well, what do ya do in Arkansas?"

"I'm a taxidermist," said the man.

The bartender, looking very bewildered now, asks, "What in the world is a tax-e-derm-ist?"

"The man says,"I mount animals."

The bartender stands back and hollers to the whole bar..."It's okay boys, he's one of us!"

:laugh: Yeah, something from path. 😀

There is no way this person would have been able to pee from this kidney. 😛

Nope. I'll be in bed around 10-11 tonight.

Anyone have any tips to calm your nerves? My heart is racing and stomach is churning.

I'm not nervous, yet...🙂 I've been trying all day to get SLJ to send a phone call to my bro through a SoAP website. Their system is too busy. 🙁

I finsihed EK Chem and Orgo again today. I'll do Physics in a bit and Bio tomorrow morning.

Btw, for the WS (please no one flame me 😀 ). I think I have it down how I will do it. Start out with an example that will support the example, but don't mention what you're supporting. Then enter in the thesis and say something like "as this image of _____ suggests, :reprhase AAMC WS statement:" Then have a connection to para 2 that counters. Then of course in para 3 show what will determine when either is correct. 🙂

I find Valerian root works pretty well. Tastes like ick though. I'll take it a couple hours before bed and feel great in the AM. Chamomile tea and hot chocolate (with milk) works too.

Going for a job can help as well.

how much valerian do you take?

I tried 4 500mg tablets yesterday (they recomend 3-6 on the bottle).....didn't do a thing

about the same dose.... more than anything it makes me more mellow. I don't really "feel" anything - not like with alcohol or melatonin or tylenol PM. I sleep more soundly though.

I think Kava Kava is also supposed to mellow you out, but I've never tried it.

I have a hard time sleeping so I've been trying different things (non-pharm) lately.

I would just like to comment that chocolate vodka is THE MOST DISGUSTING thing I have ever drank in my life. :barf: I cannot get this taste out of my mouth.

$40 I will never get back. 😡

That just sounds nasty!

My favorite drinkies are Strongbow Cider, Elektra wine (cheap, but gooood), Alto Pass vineyards Shawnee Gold wine, and white russians.

Mmmmmmmmmm...................

i need some wine.

Me too. I'm a chardonnay drinker - my standards are Yellow Tail, Kendall Jackson, and Simi. Also like vodka (NOT the chocolate kind :laugh: ) - Smirnoff or Grey Goose.

Edit: megboo, do you make your white russians, or buy them already mixed?

I make them at home - if I'm going to a party I buy the mini ones by Kahlua.

I like Krolewska and Zubrowka vodka the best - Dr. Kuba should know what I'm referring to if he ever comes back!!!!!!!!!!!!
