Channing Tatum is freaking incredible. If you (the girls of SDN) haven't seen Magic Mike yet, you are definitely missing out. He makes me smile (and drool a bit too).

Channing was HOT.
If you are going to the movie because of the story, don't go. The story was horrible. Hot guys made up for it though.
 
I don't really like Channing and slightly despise Conaughey so that movie will not be getting my money.
 
I love it when my bf takes me to work and picks me up later. Usually when I have to work, he goes to one of his jobs instead of for once taking a day off for himself. This time he's staying at the new home, doing some stuff for me, and waiting for me to get off work. 😍
 
So I was just sitting here drinking out of my "future veterinarian" tervis tumbler and thought.... I should share it with everyone in case they want one! Never even thought about it until now. If you don't know anything about tervis tumblers, they are awesome! Made in FL, they insulate like a boss, don't sweat, can be used for hot or cold liquids, dishwasher safe, and they are lifetime guaranteed. Literally, I have run mine over with my truck and sent it in... no questions asked, they send you a new one. You can even personalize them with someone's name on the back. They make an AWESOME gift and come in all kinds of different sizes. I buy them as gifts all the time. Check them out!
They have almost every NCAA team as well. My parents made me a UF one with the UF gator on the front and "Emily UF CVM 2016" on the back. They have tops and straws too!
Here is a picture of one of mine (I have tons 😀). This one is the new water bottles they just started making. 😍

Wish I could afford to buy every single one of you one! 🙁 I thought about making one for each student in my UF class, but um.. yeah... too much money :laugh:
 
He's apparently also cooking lunch and bringing it by to eat with me here. 😍

That is so cute. Is there a sticker on it, or did you order it that way?

It's like a patch that is inside the actual bottle wall. Check out the website... there are TONS of them! You order it that way.
 
agreed! :xf: for everyone that doesn't have it yet.

the weather definitely came up in essentially every appointment at work today.

and, i had fun with it for the first two days or so. 😳
but by last night, it was starting to get a little old when i realized i couldn't do laundry/can't really make any food.

most of our clients have had it since saturday/sunday and it's still coming up in nearly every appointment 🙂 big event!

Saturday i had major cabin fever. MUST GET OUT OF HOUSE!!! and sunday the resignation set in and i just went back to bed on the air mattress in our basement.

we at least have a gas stove so cooking was do-able. the problem was more what to cook since most things would have come out of the fridge that was off limits! definitely enjoyed not having to do dishes for 2 days though (went with disposable)

I think it only fits on their water bottles. They do have other lids as well, but this one is awesome. It never, never leaks! 😍

looks like i'll be ordering a new water bottle for school then, i love tervis! we have a new "it must physically snap shut" rule for our lecture halls making the other lids out (though i'm sure we rule breakers will still do it haha). it is a step up from the previous - spill proof, water only and anything else had to go in the "school" cup you could purchase that was most definitely not spill proof and really cheaply made.

Yeah it snaps shut and has a seal when you close it! 👍

Um this sounds amazing. I need a new water bottle that wont spill everywhere when I accidentally drop it or forget to close it completely...

DO IT!!!! They are AWESOME! They keep drinks cold for HOURS even in direct sunlight. I once made tea at work, but wanted to cool it down. We don't have ice, so I just stuck it in the freezer... forgot about it... came back 4 hours later and the damn tea was still HOT! :laugh:

I was kind of dragged to it for my sister's bachelorette party... otherwise I'd never have paid to see it. I didn't think the hot guys (not Channing or Conaughey... bleh) made up for the terrible story and cinematography 🙄

My rave: Actually having a holiday off is awesome. I was on ICU for the last one (Memorial Day) and had to go in anyway.

Went to the doctor and finally got prescription strength heartburn medicine. It's working well so far!👍
You can get Prilosec OTC now, right? I hear that works the best.
 
PMS, I thought about you at work last weekend. There were three really cute Dachshunds at the hospital! I usually don't like them too much, but they were adorable! 😍

About 90% of the glasses we had at home growing up were these. My grandparents also had tons of them. The different pictures make it so easier to remember who is using which one. They're pretty unbreakable as well. The cat routinely would send them flying off the counter and never broke any.
The not sweating thing is kind of amazing though and gets me into problems now with my glass glasses since I'm used to being able to leave glasses anywhere and not have any rings left behind.

gas stove for the win! we have one too, just ran out of food to cook on it really quickly.

i need to look up my coffee mug to share with everyone. it is amazing and physically unable to spill since you have to push a little button to be able to drink. love it.

I love sausage dogs, but they can have bad attitude problems. They do worm their way into your heart when you meet a sweet one.

My bf works for a guy who breeds them and he always tells us not to touch them because they're so mean. Why wouldn't you try a little bit then to make them more people friendly? 😕

But two of the three here were awesome. I didn't really interact with the third one..
 
I had two come in when I was the only person there once (cleaning up after we closed). The lady was banging on the doors saying they had both tried to eat a bufo toad, so I let her in. I tried to get the one to open it's mouth, and the little F-er bit me! Bufo poison stings!!! 👎
 
1st wtf is a bufo toad? lol

2nd I only like wieners because mine is awesome. She'd sooner die than bite someone and she NEVER barks. BUT I'm not really a fan of the breed as a whole because I have seen way more that were either standoffish or downright aggressive. Even with attempts at socialization.

Sorry. It's ginormous but it's from FB and I'm lazy 😀 😍

Yea, I don't like the breed but I like some of the individuals. There is one that I used to babysit for an announcer at horse shows. Really awesome dog. 😍

Mine is a registered therapy dog. She loves kids and old people :laugh:

Excuse the large picture. I don't have kids yet so I have a ton of pictures of her :laugh:
 
I think University of Florida actually introduced them to the area about a hundred years ago to control sugar cane pests 🙄
whoops

The number of pictures of my puppy that I have had for about three weeks is already bigger than the number of pictures I have of my bf of 16 months. :laugh:

My SO is awesome. 😀 My laptop had been having some overheating problems over the last weeks, and finally the fan totally crapped out yesterday. Turns out, he had ordered me a laptop cooling pad from newegg like a week ago after hearing my screams of irritation when it froze for the 7928783th time, and it arrived today. It's been working like a charm.

😍
 
I actually like Magic Mike. I didn't think there was going to be a story (shows how much I paid attention beforehand) and I liked the one they had because I had no expectations for it. I just wish it had come out a month earlier so I could have seen it for my bachelorette party. I ended up watching it with my mom and sister.
 
Does it kill them if they ingest it? Or do they just get real sick?

we have tons in grenada, and one of my ER cases was a vet student whose Boston picked it up in its mouth and started to eat it but my grabbed it out really quickly. just that small amount of exposure led to him seizing for at least an hour (and this was with him getting every drug we had from our ECC specialist!). after that he went on a diazepam CRI over night and looked fantastic in the morning. he's done this 3 times 🙄

usually its more like uncontrollable seizuring, coma, death 🙁

side note-the native dogs LOVE to eat them, but they've learned to flip them over and eat them belly up where they aren't exposed to the toxins :laugh: smart pothounds!
 
Tier 4 student visa... APPROVED!!!

Scotland here I come!!!


:soexcited::clap::soexcited::clap::soexcited:

Adorable GSD puppy just came to work on a visit. So cute, 14 weeks. I miss puppies.

😍I have a soft spot for GSDs

She's pretty cute. A little monster at home, but an angel when we go to places. Couldn't ask for a better puppy at those times.

(besides yesterday where she pooped in the middle of an inside mall. Not cool.)

😍 I have not been checking other threads lately (can hardly get on to check WW thread) but was wondering if you got a puppy!!

I get my girl back tomorrow!!!!!!!!!:soexcited::soexcited:
My parents have been watching her while I have been in school, my mom is bringing her down tomorrow. I can't wait!!! I changed my avatar to her, she is my "heart" dog - you know that special dog that is different from all other pets you have owned?

Dick Vets (and possibly some other UKers and the Irish) get to meet her in the Fall, she is moving with me back to Scotland!

Rocco is a good boy. Loves everyone, although he tends to alarm bark at first (mostly likely as a result of being a rescue from an abusive owner). Once he gets over that he rolls over and is like "Come on, pet the sausage belly! You know you want to!!" and everyone always goes "Aww! Isn't that cute!!" and rubs his belly.

External cooling will only work for so long, without the internal fan being replaced your computer will meet the true death, sooner rather than later. A laptop absolutely needs internal cooling for long term survival. Well, unless you submerge the motherboard in a tub of mineral oil, but that makes it so much less portable.

Oh don't worry, we both know. The pad was bought before the fan fully crapped out, so it was meant to be supplemental and just ended up being a really thoughtful life saver. It's going to be left with him to work his computer engineer magic on when I leave the country in a week, haha.
 
On another, more rave-y note; I finally figured out what colour mismatch was royally screwing up my pictures in photoshop. 😀 So now it's happily chugging away at converting and saving all of them for me and I can finally get them to the wonderful lady at the zoo (and on facebook!)
