Interesting. I am extremely conservative socially, and a bit more liberal (though certainly not left) economically.

I don't like the term "religious right" but that is definitely my voting mentality.
Here's the thing. I don't like a lot of the liberal/libertarian social issues 100%, but the underlying principle of laissez faire federal government in the day to day lives of its people appeals to me greatly.

"us" vs. "them" is not good 🙁

Well, 50mm blue vs. 50mm red is even worse because they each have a ton of money combined and like to waste it on ads and pollute our streets with yard signs.

Not really 🙂 I have to push him a lot to deal with issues between us. He now knows that it's better to deal with it right away because he won't get any peace otherwise.

He used to try to give the silent treatment or ignore when we fought, and I ended up confiscating the TV one time until he dealt with it.

He also tried to avoid a discussion by going to the bathroom to take a shower and locked himself in (but it was something that needed to be discussed ASAP). I was so mad that I took the doorknob off but left the latch in the door so he was locked in until he dealt with it! It was a mean move, but now we deal with issues and get it over with and life is happy. :meanie:

😱 :scared: 😱 :scared:

I should DEFINITELY stay single. :laugh:

I didn't think Bush was that bad of a candidate. Am I the only one?

No. 😀

I think nowadays we know so much about all the candidates, that it is hard to truly respect any of them. I just know that I would not come off so squeaky clean if somebody put my life under that kind of a microscope either.

Of course you wouldn't be squeaky clean. You are elbow deep in blood and guts! 😀

mother****in' OB/Gyn, I'll be in the OR until saturday night pretty much. our late afternoon surgery got cancelled today so... i got to go home at 4. 😀

My colon got cancelled for today. 😀

Tomorrow I am getting my first whipple! I feel a strange mixture of excitement and trepidation over this.
 
beary said:

i am convinced now that the pathology department runs the hospital. send this as a frozen section to path, send this as a cytology to path, send this IUD we just removed to path - they have to check it for fungus or something. :laugh:

Can't you damn surgeons write something on the clinical history other than "64 year old male" or something? 😉

Right, don't want to "bias" the pathologist. I've heard that one before. 🙄

Arsenic, I had to delete your smileys because I hit the smiley limit! That has never happened to me before!
 
beary--it was good/scary! have over 60 pgs of powerpoints to go over--i am coming up with naughty mnemonics for the amino acids as we speak!


beary--so sorry to hear that you missed your race 🙁 hope your day at work went well! 🙂

did you just call me a surgeon, doctor? 😀 😎

ha, the pathologist actually called the OR and when one of the medical students picked up the phone the pathologist was like, "Let me talk to an MD." :laugh:

What the mother****in' heck is this suppose to mean?

Oh, there was a colectomy on the OR schedule (meaning I would get a huge colon that would take me hours to gross in. I hate colons). But the surgery got cancelled. 😀

Try a few cups of coffee. Always gets me moving right along. :laugh:

Oh wait, were you talking about a colon biopsy for work? My bad. 😀

:laugh: That's sort of funny, but mean. I always talk to the med students if they're available. Some of them come down to ask me stuff, and I always page them first when I get the dx. 😉 They're so funny, they always call me "dr. beary" even though I have told them repeatedly to call me "beary" as I was a med student like 2 months ago. :laugh:

I almost bought World of Warcraft today at Best Buy (it's on sale for $29), but I was informed that you need to buy an online subscription to play. wtf is up with that? Can anyone tell me how much it costs per month and if there is anyway you can play for free 😕

The last pc game I played was Diablo II and that was 2 years ago. I don't even know if my pc can handle these games anymore since I only have an integrated graphics card.

:laugh: Not a biopsy. I got probably 100 colon biopsies a day. These take seconds each. I'm talking about a whole mothaf****n colon.

FE!!!!!!!!!!!!! Woohoo!!!!!!!

PM me if you want more info. I 😍 WoW. It's the best. Your first month is free with the game. After that it is $13/month. It is SO worth it. You must create a horde character on the server Khaz Modan. That's where I play. :laugh: Actually, I have some alliance characters too. So whichever. But definitely choose that server. 😀

I've kinda decided that my first Kaplan paycheck will go towards a sweetass laptop so I can play with you!! 😀
