What does everyone look like?

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I had a client who was a college cheerleader, and every exercise I'd have her do, she would make it look "cheerleader-y". Every movement was really stiff, and she had this huge smile on her face all the time, even when she was in pain, and she would always wink at me. I thought that was weird until I learned that it was some cheerleader thing.
 
I go to UTA and work for Careflite.

Cool! I actually did a lot of my informal post-bacc classes there. And as nice as it would be to meet you, I hope to never have to be Careflited anywhere. 😀
 
Sorry, I think it is sort of ingrained you don't where a sorority shirt every other day (everyday at time) for four years without something mentally happening

I was also a cheerleader and I still will hear certain words that set me off into a cheer, sort of a pavlovs dog response

sad really, sad

No need to apologize. I was just observing...tons of friends are sisters. It's funny how a simple phrase can totally alter the focus of a conversation. A friend of mine was a KD at UT and I've sat back and lmao at her a few times. My best friend was at Ole Miss. Same thing but you have the Ole Miss factor which compounds any conversation altering that is going to happen. Especially in Nashville.

she had this huge smile on her face all the time, even when she was in pain, and she would always wink at me.
My trainer gets so pissed at me for this. He'll push the hell out of me. Smile doesn't usually break. And I'm usually laughing at him for some reason or another. He's told me a couple of times that it is okay to cuss him out. That it's not supposed to be enjoyable. :laugh: Bring on the pain, baby!
 
I am the hardest trainer I know. I can bring the pain. I never doubt that, so that is why it was so weird.
 
Okay, my study break has lasted WAY too long. You guys are distracting! Hopefully by the next time I'm taking a break...none of you will still be awake! Back to studying Micro...🙁

I'll study your micro if you'll write this intro for me. Know anything about S. aureus lipids?

I've had the word doc in the background since oh about 8:30. Not much progress. Okay. I won't lie. No progress. Zip. The paper is BLANK! And Starbucks was closed when I got there so now I'm looking at 2 full throttles and a long night. I need ya'll here to keep me awake. K. thnx.
 
We'll try again.

I think it's important that you post a summer pic as well so people can recognize you no matter what the season. :laugh:

P.S. The doctor says he thinks my son needs eye surgery. 🙁
 
dude you guys update this so fast... i go home after work, get dinner, do some laundry, and then like 3 pages later.

to stay on track...

here's one with me and some members of the Serbian dance group i've been in over the last 10 years

Look out, is that Sylar in the middle?!

And maybe Bishop on the far right?

Hiro popped in on the left for a brief second...

Okay unless I'm delusional the guy second from the right isn't James Denton, it's the guy from Eureka. Where did you meet these people fifi?
 
ok so I just pulled a ten hour shift and had THREE pages to read after work. That's so cool. 🙂 I figured I'd post some fun pics too.

This is 80s night, one of my friends and I decided to be different and go as Tom Cruise in Risky Business


and this one is me at our WTF party, as in "WTF are you wearing?". I had just hit my head on the ceiling, and wasn't exactly feeling any pain

Important for the electron transport chain/system and I remember learning about the differences in lipid synthesis in anaerobic vs. aerobic bacteria. That's all I got, sorry. 😳

Thanks, prions. We did the lipid extractions from S. aureus over the last couple of weeks and I'm trying to figure some way to make it interesting. Nothing like procrastination.
 
Oh no! Why?

He has this thing where one of his eyes will wander off to the side (both of them do it). It's been getting better with the eye drops but he said compared to other kids my son's control is poor. My husband wants to ask more questions though to see if there are any alternatives but we have to wait until the pre-op appointment. 🙁

All I can tell you is that bacterial membrane lipids use a similar bonding mech as euk's, that being a gycerol backbone with ester bonds.

I'm sorry to hear that! What would the surgery accomplish? Would it be an exploratory thing or corrective?

I wasn't gonna say anything hehe. But yeah, that's the guy from Eureka. 🙂

I used to do a lot of work for a company that puts on comic/scifi conventions. A few weeks ago I got to meet Adam West and George Takei!

...I'm going to miss those shows when I'm in school.

It's supposed to be corrective. How they explained it is that they would be moving his eye muscles forward to where they need to be. Not all of them of course. That way they can't move as far as they do. I had my husband call to try to talk to the doctor (he wasn't at the appointment and I was kind of in shock) and ask the questions he has but the woman told him to ask at the next appointment which we haven't scheduled yet. I'm supposed to schedule the pre-op appointment in the next week.
 
I guess I'll join in on the party

Here is a pic from last summer at work

Woo hoo!! What do I win? 😀 That's awesome you got to meet those people. I'm jealous. The only "famous" person I ever met was Andy Dick. I will miss my shows too although I certainly won't stop watching them all.

aww I'm sorry EEL. But look at it this way: if he has to have it now, even though it will suck for you, he won't remember it too much when he's older and he'll thank you for having it done, if he truly needs it. The closest thing I can compare it to is having my tonsils out at 21 when the doc wanted them out when I was 8. Man, I cursed my parents for waiting! 😱

Yeah I'm inclined to think the doctors are right. It's just hard to think about someone cutting in my baby boy's eyes. I had my tonsils out at 20 so I can totally understand. The orthoptist(?), I don't remember if that's what he was, said he had it when he was younger and that my son might be groggy afterwards but should be playing just like normal.

If Prions wont go out with me at school, will you go out with me? But only if you wear the wtf outfit. Its hawt... 😀

Chicken pox at 18. That sucked. Hard.

hahaha the best part was, when I was in college, I tended to get bored at parties and wander off to see what else was going on... so I wandered off to a "normal" party, wearing that. With a metallic blue cape, which had been a toga the weekend before.

And yes, I'll go out with you, if gasapple won't have me. I don't usually go for chicks, but she's just so pretty.
 
wow guys 612 posts, and almost 9000 views! keep it going! post pics tooooooo! and GASAPPLE is BANNED from putting up that horrible picture.

haha, in the post right above yours I almost copied that picture, but I was feeling a bit too lazy.
 
Dang! How tall are you and what is your job?


I quite possibly have the best summer job ever. I work at a marina in the city I grew up in. It's a lot of laying around in the sun, guitar hero, and hanging out with boaters, with occasional work (pumping gas and tying people up).

O, I'm 6'7" by the way, go big or go home I tell em 😉
 
Countdown to 3....

:laugh: o rly?

I'm so glad that you said this because as I'm reading the three pages that have been added to this thread since I left my computer a couple of hours ago, I keep thinking I'm going to have to be the dork that admits that I am a scifi addict and that fifi is standing with at least two cast members of Eureka (Carter and Zoe in the show).

:laugh: My husband is actually of a scifi addict but since we've been married I've been watching a lot of shows with him. Eureka is a great show but also Stargate SG-1 (RIP) and Stargate-Atlantis.

Yeah, we have all of the SG-1 and Atlantis seasons on DVD, although I haven't gotten the first of the SG-1 movies that I guess came out a few weeks ago. I also have been getting into the new Dr. Who, I used to watch the old ones with my dad when I was little. We have a DVR full of Atlantis and Dr Who right now though because I don't have time for TV much.

I suppose the fall is harder, but being tall has its ups (hehe). easy to spot me in a crowd, but i guess that could be a bad thing as well...

Hahahaha, I remember watching Friends while I was living in Germany and thinking.... Thats not what Joey sounds like when he says, "How you doin? 😉". The meaning gets so lost in translation, it just doesnt come across right. Still funny though. 😆
 
OMG, what the heck are so many people doing up, and on SDN at 1:30!!
