Random Stuffs

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I feel pretty! Oh so pretty! I feel pretty, and witty and gaaay!

OMG what! are you in my head? another tech at work sang this once today and it has been stuck in my head all evening and it won't leave!
 
Her facebook has pictures of her kitty and talk of studying, she's probably blocked SDN for school. I do hope she comes back though.

Yeah I saw her on FB that's what made me think of it lol
 
I don't have any of you on my Facebook 🙁

She's been my friend for a couple years (?) so I'm surprised it took so long. :d

I have.. um... I have a lot of SDN friends. Both current folks and ones that never post really.

What happened to HopefulAg, anyway? Dang, I hate it when cool people poof.

I've Facebook stalked you... 😳

Guess I'm not cool because I have no FB SDN friends 😛

Anonymity is cool though ...
 
I have to lecture today to 80 freshmen about beef cattle. For an hour and fifteen minutes. I'm nervous 😱
Don't worry Abney. I am sure you'll do fine. The longer the presentation the easier it is.

I sure wish I could lecture for 1.25 hours on sheep. I could discuss them for an uninterrupted chunk of time and the students would have to listen...or at least be physically present.

Thanks Finn 🙂 It went well





I mean, I am so ****ing charming I don't know what I was worried about. 😛
 
My girlfriend is a mechanical engineer. She works for a company that makes implants. Today she asked me if I wanted a wax knee, hip, ankle or other part lol What a dork!

I could lecture for hours on IGs. People would probably shoot me before I finished though. 😀
 
HELPPPPPPPP

so i have this lovely x-acto 3 hole punch that i've had for ~4 years and as of this semester, one of the springs likes to jam and not give my pages back. it can usually be wiggled, banged around, threatened, and finally released, but aside from purchasing a new one (heaven forbid that existed here it would probably be $30) anybody have any thoughts on making that one spring happier?

could always spray a little wd40 on and see if that helps.

Sure.

Stop using paper, you dinosaur.

How did she get that job?? I think I could tolerate engineering if I was doing something biomedical related. But no, I am rotting in the defense industry ... And hardly sleeping with all my vet stuff extracurriculars going on 🙂
 
learned this in parasitology.. occured in 2007: Bad Edinburgh students. WASH YOUR HANDS!😡

-Six veterinary students from Edinburgh became ill with symptoms including abdominal pain, diarrhea, headache and nausea
-All had recently visited a farm with cattle infected with Cryptosporidium
-Several students admitted that they had not washed their hands after handling calves
-All of the students were positive for Cryptosporidium
oocysts

my parasit prof said that approximately 25% of 4th year students get crypto every year :barf:

:laugh:

We had an ENTIRE lecture on proper handwashing when being with the cattle because of this. They actually examine the first years (not the GEPs) on proper handwashing, so you could actually fail out if you don't wash your hands properly. Crypto is a problem amongst the students because quite a few students don't come from farming backgrounds and have yet to encounter it (especially the US students). Also, crypto is simply a part of the farm where they teach us at, they have problems with it. It is mostly avoided by handwashing, but we were told to not be surprised if a few of us still catch it. :xf: that it doesn't happen to me. Of course, I scrub my hands clean at the end of each practical. Currently, there is a bigger issue at the farm... crypto is the least of our worries... Of course, we haven't had to be back at the farm since our practicals at the beginning of the semester so I don't have to worry about catching the crypto or the other issue.

I would think it is common sense to not let the calves suckle on your hands and to wash your hands after handling animals and to not touch your face while working with the calves, but who knows, I guess some people don't take it seriously.
