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

[Arsenic]

---

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.

[Nikki2002]

I might start a campaign to help Brett pay for applications. I need $1800 for apps so I can use my money for a EuroTrip.

have you ever heard of credit cards?




probably not the best idea

 

[lilithny]

[lilithny]

[lilithny]

[Nikki2002]

[lilithny]

Mercifully, this is something that I have never done.

so, I thought I'd hold out for Prop 2 to kick in for admissions at Michigan... I wouldn't get in even if I was a URM, though 🙁

How's that Michigan Difference, beary ?

Must say I'm not missing the Michigan Difference too much this week. 😎

the kellog center repaired my tearducts after my firework accident a couple years ago... I have lots of love for them 👍

I use a U of M med laptop that has all of their stupid software installed so I have constant updates of their new "screensavers", etc... so i get my fill of the michigan difference

Didn't know you had a fireworks accident 🙁 Glad to hear that Kellogg Center helped you so much!

Yeah, I use a U of M med laptop too so I have lots of Michigan Difference too. 🙄

Crazy WoW video - I had heard about this and never seen it.

One of the guilds had a member that died (in real life obviously) and they were holding an in-game funeral for her. An enemy guild came and massacred everybody at the funeral. 😱

In-game memorial massacre

it wasn't as serious as it sounds... just messing around with some fireworks lighting them up and shooting them off at each other at near-mid range... a friend of mine was shooting me in the back and I turned and it got me right in the eye... shattered tearducts, partially detached retina, tons of fun stuff... but I guess I caught the foremost opthomologist before he left to texas and he put me back together beautifully...

(BTW... that's where my pirate myspace/facebook picture comes from, after I had that surgery)

[Anastasis]

Lil you crack me up! 😍 Hey - wasn't there an SDN meat this week? Did you have fun?

 

[Anastasis]

Hey - any of your randomites know if there is an Irish Pub/Grub type place near you? I'm sooo craving an Ulster Fry and honestly it may be work the plane ticket.


Oh and JLW, I want you baby for your baking

 

[PBandJ]

rawwwwwr!

and we have multiple Irish/English pubs around here, dear. McGurk's, O'Connell's, Llewyllens (Welsh), Nick's, Seamus McDaniel's.... and I'm sure many others I'm not thinking of right now........................

is that that big breakfast fry-up that our friend got in Belfast?

 

[PBandJ]

hey - that was the name of the thread in the lounge!

ahh, i see. 😀

 

[PBandJ]

ps: VD...did you ever eat at a Wagamama when you were in the UK? I ate there when I stayed in London a few years ago and loved it! Anyway, they are opening their first US store in Boston!

One in the same, I'm sure.

*drools*
I ate one every week at St. George's Market. The guy who made them started calling me Texas whenever he saw me. 😍

Mmmmmm artery clogging goodness.... Mmmmmm.....


S&M: No, I've actually never heard of that. But NI shares alot more retail stuff with the Republic than the mainland at times... so maybe it hasn't crossed the sea yet.

 

[pingouin]

off to breakfast, then OH- see you in the next time zone, peeps!

All I can say is, I live close enough to Chicago and the farious suburbs, so there are literally hundreds, maybe thousands of Irish pubs/restaurants around here!

 

[mshheaddoc]

Have you tried auctionsniper? I've won a few auctions in the last seconds that way. 🙂

Yeah that didn't work so well b/c the bids got above my snipe way too early.

Mushy-

I see your bids on ebay!

I just bought the 16 mini mcats tonight so I can work on problems.

Yeah I agree with brett, didn't hear good things about ti and I have enough EK with the 1001 books I just wanted some more CBT's ... I just got a second chance offer for my last bid of $78 but I'm hoping to get it a bit cheaper than that. (One person got it for like $40!)

See.... I got the impression that he was being condescending, even when trying to explain to the attending doc about the situation. There were better ways of going about that situation, and I think he made it worse by talking about different definitions of the word numb. The old man probably didn't think he was being taken seriously and not believed when the MD student went on about that.

But, that's just my perception.

I agree Meg. It seemed like he needed to ask more specific questions, ie "Is it a pins and needles feeling?", "Do you have any sensation at all?", etc. I think the patient would have been more willing to elaborate given that type of questioning.

Yeah I agree, he should have "dumbed" down the talk. I think he was talking over the patients head and sometimes when you deal with patients like that you really have to "BE" on their level. He could have helped it along like oxeye stated, but then again, he's new and nervous 😛 And always humiliated ...

Got my GMAT book today. $250 for the GMAT is ridiculous.

I agree the same for teh GRE!

Investment Banking man...I took the advice in PA and am going for it 🙄

I'm still thinking about doing an MD/MBA maybe.

You're doing it for IB? Do they require it for a job now? MAN things have changed!

In case some of you aren't aware...my husband has a porn addiction. A REAL ESTATE PORN ADDICTION. And in a recent rendevous with a realtor's website, he found this picture...

He wants to have sex in homes that are for sale? 😕 Very interesting idea...

There's nothing wrong with the picture. A grill belongs in every room of the house. 😀

Yeah I totally agree. A very well done video - agree on the music!
