Somerset, PA, not too far from Seven Springs

We stopped there once on the way back from MI. I got food poisoning from a TGIF or something along those lines.

Unfortuantely, that's a bit too far west to offer a place to crash and I don't know anyone out in that area to check with them.
 
I drank all my beer yesterday but have wine, but does wine go with cold pizza? Don't guess it really matters because it is going to happen. These are the musings as I get ever closer to being able to go home in a couple hours. :thinking:
 
I've cooked dinners a few times from these! The ones I tried were fairly simple and turned out great. I'm a horrible cook normally.

That's what scares me, they make it look so easy lol. They posted this teriyaki salmon that I'm currently dying to try.

Wine is Italian, and pizza is Italian. So, yes.

Wish that Alex & Sierra (from the X factor) did a full version of Gravity. Absolutely in love with that song 😍

Small world: I went to high school with Sierra. The guy I dated for most of high school was super into her, they used to hang out all the time.
 
For ****s and giggles, I signed up to be a research subject through ResearchMatch. The specific research I was contacted about has something to do with consuming cheese and its effect on the body. I'm going to go ahead and do the second phase phone screening. If I'm chosen after a physical, I'll basically get five months of prepared food (breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks) and free blood work/medical tests.... and up to $500 dollars.

If the meals are decent, it may be worth doing. I'm slightly suspicious that it's a weight loss intervention though.

Would you not be allowed to eat anything other than what they supply you with? Because that could suck.
 
Not fully a rant since it's kind of good in a way (still being in the running), just an annoyance, but regarding the Disney internship--

ARE YOU FREAKING SERIOUS. I've been waiting for this day for months, but especially over the past few weeks now that I'm also waiting on responses from other internships I've applied to. I really wanted to know Disney's decisions THIS WEEK because I don't want to end up confirmed for another internship and then (if I'm lucky enough to get in) have to say "sorry nevermind I'm going with Disney instead, bye" :dead: I know most people will probably be understanding being that it's such a sought-after opportunity, but I don't want to have to do that to anyone. I'm not on the selection committee, but do they really need up to a month-long extension after having April 1 set as the deadline from the beginning? Whyyyy man.

Kicker was that mom woke me up early this morning to tell me I should check for the Disney decision, but I decided to wait and sleep in instead...if I had checked back then I would have found nothing, because this email didn't even get here until after 1pm 😛
Also I somehow got the feeling this would happen ("ha ha what if April 1st comes and they say they're not done yet! that'd be hilarious!") :inpain: Totally psychic. They could've made this into a sick April Fool's joke :laugh:

I really, really hope you get it. Sorry it's taking so long for them to decide!
 
Having to wait an entire extra month is really annoying. Sorry Dev! I hope the wait's not too stressful!
Really looking forward to hearing from my others, at least (the aquarium one said probably by next week), just was expecting Disney's news to come first so that I could plan accordingly 😛

And thank you Rocky, if not Disney's though I'd honestly be happy with any of the others 😀 My interview at the aquarium last week made me really excited for it, and then I wouldn't even have to temporarily move out of the area!
 
My old rabbit has an ear infection. She's been on antibiotics for a few weeks. She's been wobbly but still running around up until a few days ago. Now she just can't hop more than once or twice without flopping out and rolling. Her awful balance makes her cage difficult to navigate. To help her out, I stopped by Toys R Us today and bought a 36" kiddie pool for her to scoot around in. No corners. No wire. Lots of cozy towels and her little foam beds.

Also, no more kicking **** all over the living room when she tries to scoot-hop someplace.
 
In amongst all the euthanasias lately (seriously, it's just as bad as Christmas lately), I had a walk-in this morning which was a big, dumb, clumsy, adorable Pit Bull. He'd knicked the very edge of his ear and somehow managed to hit an artery. So I'd stop the bleeding, and then he'd shake his head, dislodge the clot and start squirting blood again. This led to him ending up with a ridiculous head bandage to keep his ear fixated in one place so he can't flap it around and make it bleed.

There is little that is funnier than a big blockhead adorable Pibble with a head bandage.
 
I know PP and xTineTH on Facebook, and others have found me. But that's it for me.
I know who you are because of the talk about the VMCAS thread, but didn't send a friend request because I thought it might be weird...
 
Nope, no FB friends from SDN. I'm really not all that hard to find with or without mutual friends, though. I probably give out too much personal information online.
 
I also know @xTineTH on FB, but I don't know if she knew who I was on here. (Will probably figure it out now)
 
I am only friends with Minnesota SDN ers (LIS and dove lover). But wouldn't mind having others, just not proactive enough to go looking for you guys

Speaking of which...

I am going to minneapolis this summer for a conference (not vet-specific). If you would like to meet up, let me know.
 
Beginning stalking now......:ninja:
If you can search LIS' friend list my username here is essentially my first initial and most of my last name. Anonymity be damned when I choose usernames apparently 😛 Or I just like to make it easy for people...

That'd be fun! I'll be in clinics so just let me know when 🙂

I'm still finalizing the dates, but it will be June 15-20ish. I know that they are putting me up in a hotel and I'm not sure I will have a car available to use. But I'd love to get dinner or something.
 
Accept all the friend requests!

Of all the timing, I actually have my Davis, CA externship over most of that time period, probably getting back Sunday the 19th but maybe can still make it work. And I don't mind picking you up if needed (and I promise not to kidnap you or anything like that).

I can maybe do sunday or monday (depending on my flight out)
 
I want friends! I'm probably easy to find as my name is actually Hayley... You can search the APVMA fb page for me? I think? I dont know message me if you can't find it.
