Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeere's the thread!

Not sure what the Random thread is all about? Well, here's the answer to all your questions.

It's basically a restaurant. That serves breaststicks. And lots of cute fruit and veggies. And is patronized by a HO. And Tucker Carlson. Vin Diesel, too. Lots of race car drivers eat here, as well. We're very well respected by the Amish... one girl in particular is here almost all the time.

The food is great if you're low on iron. It's not on the menu, but you can ask about the special secret garlic cure home recipe. One of the hostesses often makes weather predictions, but she's not always around. I think she has another job with the government. Or a government. Something like that. One of the other hostesses says "Bitch, please," a lot, but she's joking... don't take it personally.

Forget anything you've heard about the girl who died here from arsenic poisoning. That was a long time ago, and she's still alive, anyway... just busy so she doesn't come in as much. Besides, a little arsenic adds a lot of flavor to just about any dish.

Pretty flowers by the entrance, hey? Lilis, they are. Beautiful. And the music is totally hopping... we have our very own DJ. Looks a little like Brad Pitt.

I guess that's pretty much all you need to know. I'm usually in the corner booth over there drinking a nice glass of wine. You're welcome to join me, anytime. We're open 24/7.


Congratulations to everyone who made Part 4 such a kickass thread!!!

I figure AF because they have the most planes, but the Navy would've been cool if the F-14 was still in service. The F/A-18 is cool, but no Tomcat. 🙂

I wish the military had some kind if MD/fighter pilot program. That would be perfect. A new definition to flight surgeon. 🙂

That would be cool. Hopefully you're having a bit of luck this cycle??

As is FLorida. I'm convinced that your whole state is actually a trans-dimensional time warp wormhole-thingy. Y'all are really from Altair Six.

Ok, on that note, I need to get some sleep, because I have class tomorrow.

I want you randomites to know that I can draw the entire Krebs cycle from start to finish by heart. Seriously, every reaction, all ten steps. I didn't memorize any of them; I know all of the reactions that have to happen, and I can just go in a logical chemical order from step to step until I wind up back at oxaloacetate again like I'm solving an organic mechanism or doing a retrosynthesis. :wow: There are four oxidation steps, and naturally that is where the NADH and FADH2 get made. You pre-meds, anyone who tells you that organic chemistry is useless in med school is full of s***.

Actually, I found the TCA cycle to be the easier part of biochem...(we didn't have to know mechanisms)

Goodnight!

sorry- I enjoy football but I'm not really into it... I realized as I was reading through here that I've never attended a school that had a football team, all the way back to HS 😳

wait until you're done with bioCHEMISTRY :laugh:

seriously though, stuff like this is the reason why dr.pepper would crap his pants if you were in his class. 😱

Fine. 😡 If you people aren't going to be impressed, then I am going to call my mom and tell her. *She* will be impressed. 😛

In all seriousness, I was kind of shocked. I am a pretty slow learner if I have to memorize things. I just don't retain things I've memorized. Some of the cell bio we've been doing is seriously killing me. But I read through this once and I just knew it. I could close the book and draw the frigging thing from scratch. Did you find there were some topics you picked up like that and others you had to kill yourself just to barely get through? I feel like anatomy is about to become the bane of my existence. 🙁

hey guys, weekend was ok. I went and surprised the man at his rotation when he got off at 7am in OKC 😍 I've had sinus infection and just feeling crappy this weekend. I'm behind on megboo's study schedule. 🙁


Nikki - I'm sure he would 😀 But for ana's sake, we all have to approve 😉

As for my laptop, one of the hinges broke off. It still works but I don't konw if its fixable or not? Plus if the monitor goes, I'm screwed. I'm going to have to back up everything and figure out if this is fixable or not.
