Random non-MCAT and only peripherally related to the MCAT thread - Part 5

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!!!

And thank you to the ever generous, intelligent, lovely, and kind Nichole, who let me start the thread even though she won the last one. 🙂

Scarlett does look better tonight...you guessed right. 😎

I don't have a tv in front of me.

Someone tell me what she looks like, quick!

Years ago, I read an editorial article where a woman claimed that every month, a woman should be able to kick a guy square in the nuts JUST so they could experience what women go through.

No thank you. 😀
-Dr. P.

oh wow....this should be done every month 😀

Passing it through the urethra part isn't what is painful - it's the passing the stone through the ureter that kills you. I don't think there's a huge difference between male and female ureters.

I haven't had a stone, but I don't see how a stone in my penis wouldn't hurt.

 

[beary]

You can just take continuous birth control pills too. I'd soooooo do that if I could.

I tried this. I got fewer periods, but the ones I had were worse. 😱

 

[oxeye]

I read this as "prostate specific antigen." Had to think about it for a good 2-3 minutes to figure out what you meant.

Good thing I'm on vacation, huh? 😉

That's hilarious!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't know, hot? 😕

 

[RAD11]

Mammaries pretty much hanging out...you know the usual 🙂

 

[pingouin]

OK, I'll get right on that. 🙄

well, beary- let's think.... 22, 3 periods in her entire life due to low body fat...... so the diagnosis is likely anorexia nervosa, which means that you'll get to do the autopsy soon..... so look for evidence of loss of function in the heart, the kidneys, the liver, the muscles, oh hell- just look at all her organ systems b/c she's systematically destroyed them!

but hey- it was damn convenient to not have those periods!

/rant

 

[deleted106503]

well I'd have to drive down to do that, and I don't have that kind of time. plus gas is expensive. I don't care who used the bat first, they ain't letting any mother******* bats on a mother******* plane

Can't you check the luggage in? I would prefer the game used one. 😳

She's pretty built/toned...former gymnast.

Why'd you even take the time to make that post?

Let's go through the thought process:

F1: Dr. P's a cool guy, and I'm sure he would appreciate a thorough explanation of what Scarlett looks like. That would be good and jolly, but I choose it better to mock him. Let's write down that she is "hot." That'll get him infuriated.

😀

[oxeye]

It wouldn't be comfortable as it passes, but that part is over with quickly.

Kidney stone pain refers to the unbearable pain that can last for HOURS when the stone is passing through the ureter. Actually peeing the stone out is a relative non-event compared to the pain you went through before the stone landed in your bladder.

 

[Dr Durden]

What?! You don't like Cardinals baseball?!?! 😡

Coming from Kansas City, I've given up on baseball and comfort myself when misery strikes a certain neighboring team. For instance, a recent World Series.

Ahh...my dad had stones kinda recently. Had some ultrasound break them up.

This is making me shudder. We get stones sent to us in path.

I pray that I NEVER have a kidney stone. 😱

Male Randomite Poll: How many of you have facial hair?

I've had a beard as recently as this summer...

precisely. they're the worst.

 

[Nikki2002]

French Manicure. That's the only thing I ever do to my nails - though not right now because they would die in Organic Lab.

is it bad to repeatedly dump acetone all over your hands?

Someone told me drinking a lot of soda causes this. Is that true? Just drink lots of water?

 

[oxeye]

It just seems like the pill should ideally stop the cycles completely as opposed to simply stretching out their duration.

Yeah, but stretching out the cycle (and it's not *really* a cycle when you are on the pill - completely different hormonally - more similar to pregnancy than anything) is still better for the body, IMO, than having 13 periods a year for 30+ years.

Did you do this thinking it would boost your productivity?

 

[Dr. Pepper]

Kidney stones sound absolutely horrible. Every single person I know who's had them speaks of it like the black death.

What can you do to help prevent kidney stones?

Drink water? Not sure. I'm waiting for Dr. Beary's response. (patiently)

Edit: Woohoo! I broke 50/day with this post!!!

 

[beary]

is it bad to repeatedly dump acetone all over your hands?

No, it's fine.

Remember though that I basically bathe in 10% formalin and xylene on a regular basis.

[oxeye]

Cool. 😉 I didn't get any cool ultrasound stuff but I almost got a stent put in. Fun stuff ....

I was 30 weeks pregnant when I had my stone so they couldn't treat me like a normal person with stones. It SUCKED! 🙁

 

[deleted106503]

It took 2 months TO THE DAY!

 

[pingouin]

🙁

*sobs*

it's OK. we're like wine- we're getting better with age 😀

Mine had sharp edges and stuff.

Hard to believe something so little could cause so much pain. 😉 As much pain as an entire freaking person coming out of my body!

What causes kidney stones?
Doctors do not always know what causes a stone to form. While certain foods may promote stone formation in people who are susceptible, scientists do not believe that eating any specific food causes stones to form in people who are not susceptible.

A person with a family history of kidney stones may be more likely to develop stones. Urinary tract infections, kidney disorders such as cystic kidney diseases, and certain metabolic disorders such as hyperparathyroidism are also linked to stone formation.

[pingouin]

No boobs.

[oxeye]

just wear gloves 😉

 

[Dr Durden]

How do you find out how many posts you've made in a thread?
-Dr. P.

Go to the parent forum and hover your cursor over the envelope next to the specific thread. Fot a ranked list, click on the total number of posts in the thread to the right of it's title.

 

[beary]

Pop can contribute, and water helps because you're constantly flushing your kidneys, ureters, etc. I drink a lot of pop, but hopefully the lots of water I drink neutralizes the effect of the pop. 😳

 

[deleted106503]

This is true.

Yes, I think I saw recently that anything under 10% bf for guys and 13% bf for girls isn't healthy.
