I completely agree. Which is why I was wondering why you would even suggest spicy tuna.

I was only talking about taste. There are no taste buds in the colon. Only pain receptors

Stop thief! You stole my "c"!

WA doesn't start with "c". You arranged that trio to suit yourself.

What do you expect? Scientists do this all the time. How do you think we get our grant money? We link all our projects with cancer to give it more relevance. Like this one grant application that I have in the works...it deals with studying pimples on rhino buttocks...but twist a few words around and now it becomes relevant to the study of gastric cancer in four-assed monkeys.

Well, Andy and deschutes, this has been a blast, but I am off to bed. Hope you sleep well. I am sure we will all be on SDN tomorrow. 🙂

likewise...sleep well.

Aha! So it was YOUR study that killed the rhinos, not my farts!

no animals are harmed in my study

nice try fart-girl.

I don't see how pimply rhinos can possibly be considered free from harm.

That's it! I'm calling the SPCA on your show!

Even my computer is spluttering and choking in disbelief.

Hello from Orlando! 😀

Hello from Orlando! 😀

Hello banana!! I hope you are having a great trip!

 

[b&ierstiefel]

Hello from Ann Arbor. Hope you're having fun.

 

[deschutes]

It's the banana! It was the banana.

It's also a nice sunny day. I have this incredible urge to haul my worldly possessions out into the front yard to increase sales.

Oops should have posted that in the Spring Cleaning thread, shouldn't I.

 

[beary]

It's also a nice sunny day.

It is so nice here too - sunny and 70. Not that I have been outside or anything, since I am still in my pajamas 🙂

 

[b&ierstiefel]

I just went out on the patio and it's nice and warm here as well. I think I will go for a run before going to work.

 

[beary]

I think I will go for a run before going to work.

Do you run? I totally cannot run at all. A year or two ago I went through this thing where I would jog for two minutes, walk for two, and then gradually increase the time I jogged. I finally, after tons of work, made it up to jogging one mile. Then I quit. 🙂 But seriously, I am the worst runner in the world. It KILLS my knees too. Whenever I do do cardio (rarely), I go to the gym and use an elliptical.

Not regularly nowadays. I don't like running for the sake of running. If I run, I would rather do so by playing sports. On that note, I used to "run" often during grad school when I played ultimate frisbee with club teams...we would have three 2-3 hour practices per week and then we would compete in tournaments. Medical school destroyed any semblance of exercise routine I had in my life.

I haven't ran in a few months and my knees and ankles hurt now. I figured since ultimate frisbee season starts this Friday, I would get used to running around this week. This is my last season of ultimate frisbee in Ann Arbor before I leave. I'll miss it quite a lot when I do.

 

[yaah]

I hate running. It's stultifying and mind numbing. I enjoy walking and bike riding but absolutely despise running/jogging.

I should start playing tennis again. There is this tennis court right behind my apartment that goes unused everyday. It's a nice court too.

I like tennis. I used to be good and now I suck.

I'm curious - who do you think will hit 10,000 posts first? Me or you? Neither one of us would probably notice right away but it might be interesting to see.

I haven't played since high school. But I still have my racket...somewhere. I probably suck now too.

If you want to start gettin' your tennis skillz up and running again, give me a buzz.

I have to find my racket first. I am not even totally sure I brought it with me. And I know I don't have any (tennis) balls.

I just looked. I think you're gaining on me.

Buying tennis balls is the easy part. But without a racket, you're SOL.

I'll take your word for it. I don't keep track of these things.

I got curious today so I looked. We are both passing people left and right on that list of "top posters."

there's a list of top posters? is this a thing that only mods and smods have access to?

 

[yaah]

Naw - someone told me about this a bit ago - go up to the top and click "Members list" and then it will list all members in alphanumerical order. Then if you click on #posts it will reorder them according to # of posts. It's interesting.

I wish you could organize it by # of posts per day because that would be a better gauge.

let's stop talking about this.

I have to stop watching espn classic.

 

[deschutes]

And I have to start studying orthopedics, vascular and neurosurgery.

I was screwed up yesterday because I slept until 11 and then had to go to bed at 10, which didn't work.

I started on friday actually. We had a pheresis patient who had acute leukemia, WBC 91000, HCT 15%, and they wanted pheresis for fear of impending leukostasis. But they couldn't do anything because she was a Jehovah's witness and said she would rather die than risk going through pheresis and having to get blood to raise her hematocrit (because pheresis generally results in a loss of a bit of blood, and often requires a transfusion if your HCT starts out low). So they called again and asked if there were blood substitutes. Nope.

Oh yeah, and my days are about 8-5.

That's really not bad at all. You have your evenings back again...for two straight months now.

Repeat after me: "we 😍 basic science"!

At least three straight - june is autopsy again.

 

[b&ierstiefel]

In fact, I 😍 basic science so much that I decided that I will intend to be here until midnight. Well, actually...I shall reassess the situation at 8:30 pm.

 

[yaah]

I don't recall you ever using the 😍 smilie before! 😛

 

[b&ierstiefel]

It's actually the second time I used it. I really don't use it often though since I have a cold, black heart of a pathologist.
