A few ground rules. Everything you post must be RANDOM and more importantly, only peripherally related to the MCAT. See my example post below. I now await Beary's shirtless pic of Carl Edwards. C'mon Beary, A-man is dying to see it. 😀

This is Ana's example:

My, factually, better examples 😀 :

And one final thing. GO GATORS! GO AGGIES! My parents are A&M alum...

I'm going to bed. Good night Beary!

Night Will! I have been getting in and out of bed. I'm trying to get off Vicodin but not working. I just took some so should feel better soon.

I was just reading that thread about calling in sick in the clinical rotations forum and it made me all stressed out. 😳 At least on this rotation nobody else is having to do "my work" since I don't really have any work anyway. :laugh: 13 days to be better now... :scared:
 
it's gonna happen within the next four weeks

i'm thinking museum hopping during the day, and drinks at night. not at a club, been there... done that. i'm thinking more of a chill lounge or even better... cool dive bar.

there'll be a post in the lounge at some point, once i know my work schedule

yeah, that would be fun times. i may be in nyc the weekend of veterans day (i think nov. 11 is that friday).
 
Actually one last thing. Very interesting video. Beauty is only photoshop deep. http://www.campaignforrealbeauty.com/
great video, Will. I hadn't seen it yet. you know, Dove has gotten a lot of flak for this campaign. when they put these women up on a billboard in Times Square to launch it, there was squawking about "no one wanting to see a bunch of fat women on a billboard". 😕 maybe my idea of fat is skewed... they look fine to me.
 
I hear you!! 🙁

We actually had a kind of cool lab yesterday. Our reaction went from clear to brown to a pretty rose pink. 🙂
Nice 👍

I swear the only thing getting me through this whole thing is the fact that my lab partner is hilarious and does the stupidest crap to entertain me.

I used to look like the second one from the left... need to lose a bit more to get back to that.

Yeah .... those women are fat. 🙄

They're fat the way Katherine Heigl (Izzie on GA) is fat. (remember that conversation???)

You get partners?!?! Soooooo jealous!!!

The only time I got to work with a partner was when we were dealing with a chemical that I didn't feel comfortable with at all since the baby is still nursing. Oh, and for the one lab where we had to shake it the entire time (so we could switch off with the shaking, LOL).

I think I kind of missed that convo, which is a good thing... one of my current jobs is with kids with eating disorders. nothing like seeing someone who's at 65% of ideal body weight twice a week to get you to rethink what "looking good" is.
 
This Dove real beauty thing made me think of "the song" for my best friend and her husband:
I like blue eyes, hers are green
Not like the woman of my dreams
And her hair's not quite as long as I had planned
Five foot three isn't tall
She's not the girl I pictured at all
In those paint by number fantasies I've had

(Chorus)
So it took me by complete surprise
When my heart got lost in those deep green eyes
She's not at all what I was looking for
She's more

No, it wasn't at first site
But the moment I looked twice
I saw the woman I was born to love
Her laughter fills my soul
And when I hold her I don't wanna let go
When it comes to her I can't get enough

(Repeat Chorus)

More than I dreamed of
More than any man deserves
I couldn't ask for more
Than a love like hers

(Repeat Chorus)

Yes you are lucky you missed that conversation.

Our sense of beauty and what is "normal" is so f'ed up in this country.
 
You really have BDD Ana? We just learned about that in psych.

I do wonder if all women have some issues with this stuff, though. I was fixated on my tummy bulge in college. Got down to a BMI of 18 and still thought I needed to lose weight because the little bulge wouldn't go away. That didn't last long because, well, I love food - but looking back I can see how ridiculous I was being.

I have come to the conclusion that I'd rather be overweight than anorexic. I may be causing damage to my body, but it's over the long haul. I've only had this position for 3 months, but I've already seen 16 y/os with permanent kidney and heart damage, hair loss, crapped up teeth from puking.. heart rates in the 20s.. no thank you. 🙁

and Ana- that's a great song! and thanks for the sharing moment. 😍
 
Yup - suddenly I'm not so comfortable with sharing the details. Sorry 🙁

That's okay. I hope it wasn't anything I said!! 😍

I'm with jlw, though - I'd rather be overweight than anorexic at this point. It's scary because once you start to go down that path, it's hard to stop. You keep thinking "if only I could lose a couple more pounds", and then it's a couple more, and a couple more. 🙁

Nope - nothing you said. But I will be deleting that post. 😍
 
Ugh...I don't feel good and have to drag myself into school to go to the art museum.

I actually wouldn't mind that. I've always liked going to my school's museum. I think I have a pic of me with some Monet painting that was donated (not loaned). 🙂

Did you read my post about Steve Wynn (the Las Vegas hotel owner) who put a hole in his Picasso? He agreed to sell it for $139mm the day before. :wow:

Gettin' ready for Lost? 🙂
 
I do wonder if all women have some issues with this stuff, though.

I think so - especially when we were younger (and still at our age to some extent). It's no surprise, really, with things like those beautiful, healthy bodies that somebody posted in that ad being called "fat." I think EVERYBODY feels like they are too fat, not curvy enough, chest too big, chest too small, butt too big, not enough butt, etc.

Funny people were having this convo. I was just thinking about weight this morning because somebody else in my immediate bloodline just got diagnosed with diabetes (just like practically everybody else). And I am very heavy and very sedentary. I really really need to work on it.

Honestly, I think I already have type 2 (for various reasons). I don't even want to know and refuse to get my blood sugar checked. The psyche is a very strange thing.

You should write about me for your next abnormal psych paper oxeye. 😉
 
yeah, that would be fun times. i may be in nyc the weekend of veterans day (i think nov. 11 is that friday).

that is one of the weekends! it would rock if you came... i can't be the only female at these things anymore! sure i love the attention... but come on
