Donwannna!!! You can’t make me!!! Waaaaaaaaaaaaahhh!!!
OK, so I have to go to work anyway…
Mornin’, y’all.
I went to the Y this morning, and it was noticibly (and wonderfully) not busy. People are avoiding the area where the twister hit, and the Y is about a half mile north of the spot that’s been prominent in the news.
More amazing than the damage is the ongoing media circus. :rolleyes:
I went to the doctor yesterday for my routine appointment. She said that it was apparent to her visually that I’ve been working out, despite no weight loss.
TMI Alert
[spoiler]I wound up with the ol’ finger up the wazoo exam, and my prostate is mildly enlarged, but not lumpy. Neither of us are worried, but I had blood taken for PSA anyway. I’ve had no problems with peeing, FWIW.
The doc is a woman, too. After that exam, I may be in love… <snerk>[/spoiler]
Foraging done, and caffeination underway. Carry on
Morning Mumpers! I get to go help prep a store in Durham for inventory today.
Good luck Herbs! I did it cold turkey, but however you quit, you’ll feel better. Heck, a pack a day smoking habit would now cost me more than my hockey season tickets(and 54 beerverages). :eek:

Here are your answers:
*1.Do you believe that the United Nations still has a significant role to play in world affairs? Support with details and examples…
*
Yes. I believe that the UN has a significant role to play in world affairs because it lives in a really big building in New York City, USA, and there are lots of people who work there. If we got rid of it, all those people would need jobs.
*2.Do you believe that capital punishment serves as an effective deterrent to violent crime? Give reasons and examples to support your answer. *
No. It didn’t work for me. My MIL is in bits in my freezer as I type this and we’re having smoked butt for dinner.
3.Some people state that genetic engineering, such as stem cell research, will revolutionize healthcare. Others feel that this is morally wrong since it is a human attempt at playing God. Please choose a position and support it with reasons and examples.
I was a test tube baby so I take offense at this question. It’s so in vitroist. I’m just the same as anyone else. My mom says that webbing on my hands should be all gone by the time I’m 30.
4. With respect to the nature versus nurture debate, compare and contrast the roles of intrinsic and environmental factors in human development
I think the nature vs nurture debate is a lot like monster truck rallies. Is it the engine or what the driver does? This is a serious question: without the horsepower, the prize can’t get won, but without the driver to turn the truck on, nothing happens. In conclusion, I like monster truck rallies.

I’m also thinking of alterations I could make to the outfit. If I paint a fat white stripe down the front I could be a penguin. Or maybe get a wimple and a rosary and be a nun. Oh wait, this is graduation, not Halloween.

My gown will be rented, so will most likely smell like ass. I think the white stripe will make you look more like a skunk (sorry).
Hot Asian chicks in black vinyl things! I’ll be in my bunk.
Good luck, tarra! It won’t be easy and sometimes you’ll feel like you’re ready to sell your firstborn just for one last drag, but in the end it’ll all be worth it… you won’t get sick as often, your clothes and hair won’t smell like smoke, and you’ll be surprised at how much your sense of taste was dulled by the ciggies.
I quit for good about 3 years ago, though I was never a heavy smoker to begin with… the most ever was two packs a week, which is when I decided enough was enough. To this day, I still get a hankering when I’m in a situation where I always used to smoke, like sitting on a patio having pints with friends or when I’m walking home from work.
Is it Firday yet? No? Crap.

Did you know you can freeze a typical ballpoint pen at - 80 degrees Celcius for a week and it will still work once thawed?
All these things I know, and more; bored in a lab at 3 AM.

Have you ever tried putting a small chunk of dry ice in a latex glove, knot it shut, leave on a lab mates bench with the words “need a hand” scribed across the palm and wait until morning? 
Radioactive cockroaches survive vacuums- that’s cool too.
ETA: Stillllll waiting to hear if I the chair position for my division. All the waiting is starting to make me really not want it! :smack: Too much time to think about what I’m about to get myself in for!

One of my favorite stunts is to take a latex glove, pull it over my head and face until it hooks over my nose, then inhale by mouth and exhale through my nose, inflating the glove. When I can no longer hang on to it, I let go and the glove goes flying.
Cheap entertainment for the kiddies, but it doesn’t work with the nitrile gloves, dammit.

Yes. Once the convict is executed, s/he’ll never commit another crime, nor contribute to the appalling recidivism rate in this country.

Nitrile gloves suck, man. And they smell bad.
Eppendorff (microfuge) tube grenades- those were cool. Involves more dry ice and unsuspecting grad students.
miss grad school sometimes, sigh.

Morning, MMP!
I was listening to a cube neighbor talking to someone else. She said, “Are you a chicken pecker?” I about died laughing. She meant did the guy hunt-n-peck while typing…
I blame my dirty mind on certain individuals around here - you know who you are!

I put glitter all over my mortarboard when I got my bachelor’s. There was a guy getting his master’s that same year who put a Spiderman ball on his tassel. I haven’t decided what I’m doing for my master’s alteration yet. It depends on if I have to wear the centennial gowns. Yes, they are that color. I thank my lucky stars they didn’t go for the other school color.

Augh. I know what kind of essay they want. It’s the generic 5-paragraph essay that I specifically tell my students they need to grow out of by college. :rolleyes: The problem is that I can’t really write those essays anymore. I used to be able to write those suckers in my sleep, but grad school has ruined me for life. Ruined, I say!
[/QUOTE]
My thesis is based on the five-paragraph essay. Of course, the paragraphs have been expanded into chapters.
rigs, I have a J name I don’t like either, so you’re not alone. Mine is Jennifer. I was born at the tail end of the Jennifer Explosion so there were fifty million of them in my school. I’ve decided that women/girls who go by the full Jennifer are straight up bitches. Jennys are cool. Jenns I don’t know about yet. If they skip it and just go by their last name, they’re cool.
I want to go home and go back to bed.
