I'm the mayor for all, WW or not, ally. Eggs will rule supreme.

If we can make AJ win, I will publicly disown my previous position and concede that Chili can have beans.
Dr. Silver Fox won tonight! He's in the final round now. He's up against Kyle Rudolph (which, as a professional football player for Minnesota's team seems a little unfair to me, but still). Voting closes 2/3 at 5 pm. Percentages are not shown in this round. :S

Yeah well Dr. Silver Fox was our nation's seventh president, so.

I'm sure he gets that all the time, but I can't believe no one's made a crack about his name on here.

Thanks for the votes, people! AJ is in the final round: Please vote!

In add'n to the $1500 from the contest that would go to Frankie's Friends, another one of the docs at our facility - a fantastic IntMed doc - has pledged to match the $1500 if he wins.

Thank you for tolerating my many-round pleas for votes, all. Really do appreciate it.

Are they purposely hiding the vote percentage? Or is my browser failing me?

Allowed myself to get talked into buying the $100 accident warranty for my laptop when I purchased it back in 1st year of undergrad.

Spilled tea on it and fried it last night, and it looks like that decision is going to save me $1000.

Laptop going goodbye would normally go in the rant thread, but my gratefulness at having warranty cover it far outweighs my unhappiness about not having a laptop for a few weeks.

That's such a relief! That's good that it's saving you all that money!! I'm sorry it spilled in the first place

Haven't called the service people yet; figured I'd give it 1 day of hanging upside down to dry out, and try to turn it on again. If that fails I'll bring it in to see what the techies can salvage of what I had saved on there.
 
Guess who won the charity contest?! Way to go SDN!

Do you mean...

NO MORE CHILI CONVERSATION FROM @LetItSnow?!? :heckyeah:

BRB I'm throwing a party. :hardy: And we are serving absolutely no chili.

(Also congrats to your coworker on the charity donation, it's a great cause and he should be proud of himself!)

But first, the confession!

Finally got to see my grad student photo that will get used for any seminars I give, when I graduate, etc., and it's one of the only photos I have of myself that I actually like!

It's a little thing, but the week has been one where I needed little things like that.
 
I came here to post that he won! Looks like the news is out though. A few people on a veterinarian-only facebook group I'm in has been asking people to vote for him too, and it showed up in my newsfeed that he won.


That is Donnell. She is one of "our" (I work for a different company, but we work so closely....) dentists. Amazing woman - positive, enthusiastic, a teacher heart.....

She has been posting in one large FB group and I have posted in another.

THANK YOU ALL for the votes. In the end, because of matching donations, around $4500 was raised for Frankie's Friends - not just the $1500! You all rock!
 
So I've been taking baby steps into getting healthy (because if I do big steps I lose lots of weight and then gain 1.15 times that back in like a month). So I stopped drinking soda/ 99.9% of caffeine (except for the occasional sweet tea because you can take a girl out of Texas but you can't take the Texas out of a girl) 2 weeks ago, and I just found out I lost 2 pounds without any other major dietary/ exercise changes!! So I'm taking this as a win!
