Your kid is a gross monkey and you want to keep him? 😕 😛

Yes, but only because his microscopy skills are still sub-par.

He needs a little teeny microscope. Screw the erector set.

I know. I didn't even notice until this afternoon when I finally turned on my computer again. 😳

We finally got an air conditioner today for apartment. Aahhh...

Hey Andy - the familly and I went to a Chinese buffet yesterday (it was called "International Buffet", I guess because they had some guy making sushi... whatever). Anyhoo, to get there, I had to go down a certain Washington Street and through Milford, etc. Almost exactly the same path we took that day we were lost. I was like "yeah, here's that factory at the end of Washington Street, and here's the rundown area we came back through" It was really funny. This time, of course, I had a map, so there was minimal cursing. 🙂

yeah, whenever they got the token japanese guy making sushi, it truly becomes an international meal. i remember milford. wasn't that the rich area? or was that milton? i don't remember. all i know was we were pretty far away from our destination that day.

Yeah, that was the rich area. We literally drove down the same road to get to the restaurant.

was this that $$$ restaurant that DK made reservations for you?

No, that's in Cambridge. Looked great, though. If we ever go there, I'll get a sitter. Last night, our daughter literally screamed through the whole meal. I have never walked away hungry from a buffet until last night. I think I've been cheated!

well, what do you expect? it's chinese food. you probably would've felt hungry again once you got home.

Gawd I used to love Milford.

Yeah, but you had to pop alot of Xanax.

All Asian people look the same to Andy.

 

[b&ierstiefel]

That's Japanese.

That too. But Chinese food fills you up temporarily only to make you hungry again 30-60 minutes afterwards. Rice doesn't fill you up for a good while. That's why we have to go back out into the rice fields everyday to pick some more food an hour after dinner!

 

[yaah]

Some nice rice fields outside of Wareham.

Not when it's slathered with grease the way it is here 😛

Pasta and rice get a raw deal being blamed for making people fat. Yeah let's ignore the melted butter and drippings and portion sizes - it's the carbs that do it!

Yeah, that whole low-carb thing is a mystery to me. When I came back from China to the US, I was stunned with how fat everyone looked. Granted, I was in the Detroit airport. Having just come from a place where people ate multiple helpings of white rice every day, I couldn't understand how carbs could be the problem.

It must be cutting-edge watertight research.

"But you have the metabolism for it!" - said to me with winning naïveté by an Asian-American. I was not quick enough for that one.

Watch me overwhelm my carb-proof metabolism by having a 6-pack and pizza for every meal!

Poor Detroit.

By the way what is the largest number of X's in front of an L that is available for clothing size? I ask this because I sincerely wish to know and identify with my patients. I normally deal with the other end of the spectrum and since I find myself quite busy (in vain) there, I never looked anywhere else. Though I admit I have walked into plus-sized stores quite by accident.

Dr Atkins is to blame for all this......Carbs as being the cause for fat sounds like a conspiracy to me...(Nabisco et al)......

I believe up to XXXL is easily available at places like Target, Kmart, etc. (You can see I get my clothes at real fancy places. ) Though I noticed the other day in our hospital locker room that scrubs go up to XXXXXL. But I'm not sure if those sizes are really accurate as I wear a much larger size in scrubs than I do in my clothes.

Hey I was in Walmart the other day looking at the junior sizes! Pingu will never condescend to hang with me now!

 

[beary]

We will have to hit up all the discount stores at the Mall of America. Though we'll have to be sure not to lose each other since you'll be looking at smaller clothes and I'll be looking at bigger clothes!!

I went there with my mum. I think I have a picture of myself next to the sign that says "In Accordance With Minnesotan Law, Guns Are Prohibited On These Premises".

At any rate we were mucho overwhelmed. The place needs a magic map. The kind that you pull out of your pocket and it tells you "You Are Here".

Mrs. Deschutes likes Taco Bell 😎 👍 👍 Fine American cuisine!

 

[Pingu]

Pingu says Walmart bad....Target good. Seriously, target has cute decent quality stuff for cheap. Walmart has tacky whorish stuff for cheap. Trust me, even divas like pingu shop at target sometimes.

Eventually, though, I will win you over to the dark side. Just ask Havarti! Perhaps I will bonk you with my python handbag. Otherwise, I offer the sage advice of finding a husband that doesn't really care what you spend on stuff as long as 3 pairs of shoes don't arrive by fedex all in the same day. 😍

Such a man don't exist!!!..........

 

[bananaface]

What is one were by FedEx, one UPS, and one USPS all ont he same day?

 

[Pingu]

Ah, but Mr. Pingu does exist. Granted, his mood was tempered by the recent purchase of a boat, but he is remarkably calm even when I come home with lots of new shoes. He does, however, pay attention to my stuff, so he does know when I have bought something new. He is also brand savvy (He knows the difference between manolo's and jimmy choos) and will go to tiffany's and cartier without balking. He is still deathly afraid of walking into victoria's secret though. 😀

What is one were by FedEx, one UPS, and one USPS all ont he same day?

Wouldn't work as Jimmy Choos sends theirs fedex as does neimans. The whole issue was that there were shoes I wanted but the store didn't have them in my size so they called their other stores and found me my size and then shipped it to my house, which would have been okay if all three pairs didn't arrive on the same day. My latest method of shoe subterfuge involves leaving them in the trunk of the car to 'ripen' at which opportune times I bring them inside.

this beer tastes sooooo good right now!

And I thought the trunk was just for hiding the Girl Scout cookies you don't want to share!

Maybe in the great North that may work, but you put some cookies in the trunk in Texas and all you'll get is a big mess of goo. It's too hot here to hide cookies so we hide shoes instead....less tasty, but also less fattening 😀

 

[deschutes]

Walmart has tacky whorish stuff for cheap.

As I found out. I don't think it was even worthy of being labelled "Made in China".

At any rate I think I'm all shopped out - at least till beary turns up here. 😛 I spent (pun intended) the entire month of June (courtesy of a 3.8-to-the-dollar exchange rate) and now have a work/play wardrobe worthy of the next 4 years. Gawd that feels good.

Don't hats look so much better when worn over curly hair... 😍

Two days after I moved in, she told me, "You have a Taco Bell 5 blocks from here."

 

[yaah]

Mall of America gets pretty easy to navigate once you go a few times. Most people will stick to their little areas of it. The movie theater, certain restaurants, a couple of stores. 75% of the stores there are crap and you will never go in them.

Doesn't your car have central air too?

 

[Pingu]

Of course, you risk death and heat stroke to not have air conditioning in your car. There are exceptions, such as crazy sister in law who choose a beach apartment over fixing her cars air. Thus, she was frequently sweaty, but could see the ocean. The problem lies not when the car is on, but when the car is off and parked, even in a garage, it gets to chocolate melting temperature.

I was being silly. Of course the a/c is off when the car is off. 😛

You never know with those who belong to the tribe of the North. They are often crafty and wily and underestimate the fearsome heat of the land know as Texas.

I've been in Eastern WA when it has been 105+. That was totally dry heat and it felt fine as long as you didn't touch 1) the metal parts of a seat belt 2) asphalt or 3) a vinyl car seat. Whenever it gets slightly humid, though, then the heat really bugs me.

****ing art fair. Andy you are lucky you are gone from here. I HATE THE ART FAIR.

I am sitting here pretending that browsing SDN will rest my brain sufficiently so that when I return to looking at the unknown cases for tomorrow, I will actually see more than a blur of neon pink.

Then again it could be the quality of the outside histotechnique which is so demotivating...

It's not really hot until you sweat when you iron your shirt and a chocolate bar melts on the walk home.
