Random non-MCAT and only peripherally related to the MCAT thread - Part 8

Members do not see this ad.

how's your studying going guys? are you freaking out? burned out?

this is our stress relief thread....or our group anxiety thread, whatever..... 😀

for those of you that have no idea what the mcat random threads are about, check out molly's explanation:

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.

18 to buy superglue? Is it for the huffing qualities? I wonder if you have to be 18 to buy paint?

Looks like you made it to Cincy ok!

ah yes. to quote JBJ- who says you can't go home?

 

[Beau Geste]

Nice. So are you really going to stay up til 11 on Dec. 12 to register? I will if you will.

 

[pingouin]

Nice. So are you really going to stay up til 11 on Dec. 12 to register? I will if you will.

if you'll notice my posting patterns, there's a good chance I'd be up anyway, registration or no registration. 😳

I'm kinda a night owl.

 

[pingouin]

PLUS, both of my finals will be done by then. 👍 😀

both are cumulative, and on the same day. boo hiss 👎

 

[Beau Geste]

Good. I can't believe it's so close!

 

[Beau Geste]

I have one final on Monday and the other on Thursday. But I'll be up studying anyway!

 

[mshheaddoc]

I'll be registering at 12am too! Even though its smack in the middle of finals ... *sigh*

 

[PBandJ]

man, i'm hungry already. too bad lunch doesn't start until 11:30 here. 😛

 

[mshheaddoc]

I need breakfast .... *sigh*


So what to do guys ...

My MIL invited me to meet some relatives at a hospital (one of them has necrotizing fasciitis apparently - but not from strep ... don't ask me! ) then drive another 2 hrs across the state for thanksgiving tomorrow and then come back either tomorrow or fri. But I don't want to be without my man for thanksgiving for a few reasons, plus this week was me visitng him. But I don't feel like driving all over the state either (if I took my own car to make sure I could see him tomorrow). What to do? I really want to meet family(and spend time with my nephew) but I miss my hubby being away so much which is why I came down to be with him in the first place.

I can't decide ... I'm torn.

Only 40 more days of this nonsense of him being in rural bumblefart.

 

[mshheaddoc]

Happy THanksgiving!!!!!

 

[TypeA]

Thanks folks, you are all so sweet! 😍

Hey PW, I like your new avatar. What is it?

Old Main at my Alma Mater. Sits on top of this hill with a ridiculously steep grade. Getting to Old Main during the hot Texas summer is killer.

No need to replace....pants with holes look better.

 

[beary]

Cool! A path applicant?

Yeah. Our program didn't fill last year so we literally have applicants in every single day.

2. What's your favorite Thanksgiving smell?

3. Black friday: Go out or stay in?

4. Favorite thing to watch on TV (ie. beginning of Christmas specials, football games, parades...)?

Arsenic - I told you to stop wearing those cleavage showing tops! See! Now it's all over the NY times. Shameful! What will Nikki say? *clicks disapprovingly*

 

[Beau Geste]

2. What's your favorite Thanksgiving smell?

turkey in the smoker. My dad likes to smoke instead of bake

3. Black friday: Go out or stay in?

4. Favorite thing to watch on TV (ie. beginning of Christmas specials, football games, parades...)?

A Christmas Story

5. Favorite Thanksgiving memory?

He seems like a nice enough guy, but no experience and no new ideas. He reiterates what everyone else says.

 

[Beau Geste]

I just had to squeeze into my jeans 😱 😱

Literally all I think I have worn this month is scrubs and pajamas. 😳

I feel your pain.

I did 40 minutes of yoga this afternoon to perk up though.

I also decided to get a Gazelle and a mini stair-stepper for home and forgo the gym. I have dumbells too at home.

mmmm... pie.

ummmmm.. not this hole 😳

Bye folks! See you in Cincy! 😀

literally 😀


ok, people, riddle me this- how is it that the Macy's in STL carries an entire line of Dockers that is not carried in Cinti? I braved the traffic at 2 (TWO!) malls, and one store didn't have ANY, and the other had a rack of the kind that I don't like. WTF????????

 

[pingouin]

Yay!!!!!!!!! I'm done with my evals and all caught up!!!!!!!!!!!!

*sigh* I wish my husband would be my secretary.

oooh, ooooh, ooooh, I'm mostly caught up with my billing! did a lot of it last weekend. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! (now I'll have money for Christmas presents)

 

[Mr. Tee]

1. What's your favorite Thanksgiving food?

Stuffing with gravy.

2. What's your favorite Thanksgiving smell?

Stuffing.

3. Black friday: Go out or stay in?

Definitely going out.

4. Favorite thing to watch on TV (ie. beginning of Christmas specials, football games, parades...)?

The advertisements that feature stuffing with gravy.

5. Favorite Thanksgiving memory?

Eating stuffing with gravy. 😍

 

[pingouin]

Stuffing.

Eating stuffing with gravy. 😍

I see a pattern here. 😛

Tomorrow at my brother's, there will be two huge crock-pots filled with stuffing (plus possibly a little corningware dish of stuffing-no onions for me, but sometimes they forget). My brother and his sister-in-law will fight over who gets all the leftover stuffing (of which there will be a ton).

Ah, the annual traditions. 👍

We don't really do the gravy thing, though.

 

[oxeye]

1. What's your favorite Thanksgiving food?

Pumpkin pie or pumpkin flavored dessert. My mother-in-law makes a pumpkin cheesecake that is to die for!!

2. What's your favorite Thanksgiving smell?

The turkey in the oven? I dunno. I won't get that this year. I'm lazy and bought a Honeybaked smoked turkey breast. I don't get to smell it cooking but it tastes sooooooo much better than any turkey I could make.

3. Black friday: Go out or stay in?

Stay in.

4. Favorite thing to watch on TV (ie. beginning of Christmas specials, football games, parades...)?

This year - GA. 😀

5. Favorite Thanksgiving memory?

Growing up, my dad would put on a little skit with the turkey before he stuffed it. He'd make it talk and dance around on the counter. It cracked me up! Actually, I think it would still crack me up.

 

[Dr Durden]

1. What's your favorite Thanksgiving food?

Sweet potatoes drenched in melted marshmellows. 🙂

2. What's your favorite Thanksgiving smell?

Pies. 😍

3. Black friday: Go out or stay in?

Out! 😱

4. Favorite thing to watch on TV (ie. beginning of Christmas specials, football games, parades...)?

I'll be trying to watch both the Chief's game and GA simultaneously. 😎

5. Favorite Thanksgiving memory?

When two sets of married cousins were forced to sit at the kids table. We're all in our twenties now and have realized unless the plague strikes our collective relatives, we'll never sit at the adult table. Who'd have thought the kid's table would be the drunkest one?
