Hi...it's difficult to lure anyone into Floyd talk over at cornsnakes.com!
yeah, that's probably true.
But I'm just as disturbed by the official 2012 Olympics mascots...
Nanci!!!!:D:D
It would help if they had two eyes. apiece
And well you should be...eeewwwww.Quote:

Those 2012 mascots..must have been a marketing team trying to mold children's imagination for the future.
Anything with 2 eyes would have been better. Actually some litlte children will be freaked out. There was an article in local paper of employees who wear the stuffed mascot costumes here in our city (and not just 2010 Olympic mascots)..It takes a special person to do it often.
Some kids do get freaked out.
they look more like bottle openers than mascots to me. WHAT were they thinking?
That's not what they look like to me...Quote:

Things have been hectic around here, waiting for word on Kit getting accepted into her clinicals this year or having to reapply next year. Took Ito'san to the vet this morning. He started liking me again tonight. :rolleyes:
Kit sold her car a few months back because she didn't really like it and we never drove it. (she got what she paid for it, so it was a good deal) Today, we took her to look at a cute little Chevy Tracker and she drove it home. :D It needs a bit of work, which we can do some of it ourselves.
Otherwise, we're entering trauma season at work so things get busy this time of year. I'm on the evening shift these days so I get off work at 11:30pm. I don't ride bike to work anymore because I have to ride through some very secluded, dark, park areas alone. I just don't trust it. Too many cars sitting along the pulloffs at night. I will have to find some time somewhere to ride. I miss it.
I'll be able to be on here more soon. The car situation will make it easier for us to negotiate our spare time instead of running places twice to drop off/pick up the other or taking the (OMFG, where is it, I'll be late) bus or my sloooooooow *** on a bike.
Okay, off to bed for us. Kit has to work tomorrow and I have a car to detail. :)
I thought the same thing, Nanci. ;)Quote:

So.... the other day in the ER, I had an order for chest xrays on a 20 yo patient. She was complaining of chest pain and shortness of breath. I go to get her and she wasn't there. The RN said she would be right back, she walked up the street to the store to get another pack of cigarettes. :confused:
Tonight, I had a patient complaining of abdominal pain. I took xrays and was wondering what I was seeing exactly. It ended up being a bottle of pills that she forgot she put "up there". (yes, there) They belonged to her BF. He made her mad about a month ago, so she hid his prescription pills on him and forgot about them. The weirdest part of the whole thing? I've actually had that happen before with another patient.
Neither had insurance or thought to go see a doctor for cheaper treatment.
Just in case you are ever wondering why the ER wait is so long or costs so much, now you know. :rolleyes:
OMG..what a bunch of idiots! :rolleyes: Some people are just...not with it..
Sticking a bottle of pills inside you..ooookk..
6hr tomororoowww.weeeeeeee :)
Someone needs a new purse.
Ahem.
Kit got her acceptance letter today. She is going to be doing her clinical internship for the radiography program at this hospital...

She's very happy and excited. I haven't been able to think straight or walk right all day since we checked the mail. :D:D
Way coolio Kit!!! Wahooooeyyy!!! *clap clap boogie dance*
We're off to play at a 6hr mtb event...can't crash too hard as I have papers due...
Way to go Kit!!
Ah well, I guess I have to take the ol' ball 'n chain out for dinner now. It never ends, does it? :rolleyes: It's interesting... there was a lady in one of her math classes last year that she became friends with and exchanged books with, blah, blah, blah... that lady applied to the radiography program this year too. She volunteers at the hospital Kit will be a student at. They've been talking and that lady had one of her interviews where we work. It turns out... Kit got into her hospital and she got into ours. Essentially, they've switched places. They both had the idea to ask for someplace new so they could experience more. :D So, she will be one of my students in the fall. Kit has already informed her that I would be glad to haze her as a freshman and put her through the ringer for 2 years. :p
Hey Pax!!! This is for you. You know why.... ;);) :D:D:D:p

All right Kit!
Snap - thanks for the warm fuzzy pic. I could use a good giggle this morning.
Xrayted - could we send that photo to BP?
This oil spill nonsense is just making me sick. And I'm not tasked to be out there cleaning it up, or trying to quantify the impacts. Yet. :eek:
LOL, love that pic...
And congrats to Kit!!!
so crunching numbers here, trying to figure out how much more $$ we need for her to be full time instead of part time. we may have to partake of the loan thing but we'll see how much we will get for full time financial aide. She's been getting part time up till now. She's always had extra left after paying the school. We hope it goes that way still but doubt it.
she will need to drop her part time job at the hospital at some point this summer. all of my current and former students have had to do that for at least the 1st year.
Tis Monday.
My thought for the day..La lalalalalalalaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. Weeeeee.
That's all folks :o
:eek: Kitty cats do not like lightening bolts striking nearby in the wee hours of the morning. They do not, they do not. :eek: Nothing quite like a thunderstorm moving through at 4 am.
It's a good thing I don't have to go to work today, I'm going to need an afternoon nap. :rolleyes:
I'm working today. Kit had to work so I signed up in my dept. I hope it's quiet today. No one likes spending a holiday in the hospital.
Have fun kids and stay safe. :)
isn't this a good day for getting drunk and breaking bones?
Isn't Memorial weekend #2 for DUI's (just behind New Years?)Quote:

No mention of the guy being drunk. But his father narc'ed him out.
Drifting into thanks.
Four years ago, I started riding a bike and soon thereafter, I found TE. With your encouragement and vast knowledge, I slowly learned the ropes and you were always hear to answer my constant questions. Then two years ago, I began to dabble in triathlon and again, the ladies of TE were there with knowledge, enthusiasm, and encouragement. On Sunday, I'm going to do my first Half Iron triathlon. I truly would not be doing this race if it wasn't for all of you, so thanks to you all!
I'll be thinking about you. Let us know how it turns out.
Good luck kelownagirl! How exciting. :)
Gratitude meditation totally floated me through my first marathon last month. So IMO you're starting out on the right foot.
Found out yesterday that my orthopedist called in more orders for continuation of PT for my knee, and I'm actually happy about it. Does that make me a sick puppy? :rolleyes:
I've tried to do my exercises at home these past two weeks, but it just isn't the same as going to the clinic and having Tony reminding you what to do next. That and I miss starting with those wonderful warm heating pads.
I slept 'til noon today! I have my licensing exams Monday and Tuesday, hope I'll be awake for those :o
Good luck to you Kelowna !
