What to See and Do in Washington DC - an Informative MMP

naked men?
not much?
never macho?
no midol?

honestly, Pie, why would beebs be posting about naked men? That’s swampy’s territory

:stuck_out_tongue:

Don’t feel bad. My mother doesn’t understand either. She knows what “certified” means, she knows what “information” means and so on, but string them together, and she has no idea.

Way back whenever it was I first told her I was doing security for a bank, she got all scared thinking I was carrying a gun and driving armored cars.

Hey, don’t forget about me!

Good point. I was just caught up in ‘free association.’ :smiley:

Strangely enough, I was more concerned about why Beebs would be posting about a lack of Midol.

Apparently my mind left the gutter for five minutes. No cause for concern… all is well with the world again and it’s willingly hopped back in, and is currently paddling around in the muck quite happily.

Well, honestly. I had just written a long post about how I was just sobbing in the shower for about a half an hour. But decided that would be bad for my “fun guy” sort of bravado.

I need to get a new job. Either that or become a superhero… something.

Wow, that stinks, beebs. Does it help at all to focus on all the people you’re actually able to help? Hugs (cuz I know that’ll make you all contrary… :smiley: ).

Still wandering around the internet… Ought to probably read a book or something.

Come on, Nat- type!

That Guy just called and asked me about my visa situation. Of course as a friend it’s natural for him to be concerned . . . but it’s weird that he went out of his way to call me. (It’s weirder that he actually remembered when my meeting with the school was.)

Seriously, at the very least, going to Korea would force me to stop seeing him. :smack:

Wait, wait, wait. (I started reading to catch up and stopped here). This is your NEW place of employment? :confused:

I love, love, love the poster, though–it sums up my life perfectly.
I am sort of goofy excited over here–haven’t felt this way for a long time–but I stopped by a music/instrument store after work and talked to a guy about an acoustic guitar! I have never played it (I did piano for about 3 months as a kid). I will go tomorrow to buy it and schedule lessons. Yay!

ETA: there’s a clever boy, Gnat!

Also, I do give blood once a year at my church blood drive. Doing it more frequently leaves me prone to colds and yes, feeling like crap. Believe it or not, I was below the weight limit in college (can we say SKINNY?! I smoked like a chimney, but I was THIN, THIN, THIN, baby!). So, I do what I can.

actually it means “mommy is spending too much time with you people. she’s my mommy!” Of course, I’m only guessing.

everytime I think “okay - now I’ll shut down for the night and get into bed” there suddenly appears a purring kitty on my shoulder. A purring kitty who fights my efforts to move her off my shoulder. Purring kitties are tough critters.

Awww, Nat’s already posting to the Dope. We’ll make a slacker out of him yet. :smiley:

That probably means something along the lines of “can i smell your butt, and hey what are you eating, and never mind I think I’ll lick my own butt then take a nap”

I think my TOEFL test scores have expired. Ugh. That means I have to pay another $150 to prove me speakee Engrish OK. :rolleyes: So. Annoying.

Home, hurting, waiting on laundry and Hot Pockets. There is a Google ad for MMP and adhesion. They must know about Room 304.

{{{{{Pugs}}} I know how hard that will be.

{{{{Beebs}}}} I don’t think I can do blood, either.

Translation: Log off, feed me, hug me!

Dotty, I got my dad this for Christmas 2 years ago.

Congrats, gotti! I’m certifiable.

Nah! I am STILL in the old job - 5 more weeks of hell left before I move to greener pastures!

{{{Puggy}}}

'Grats gotti! Are you planning to do one of the specialisations (like ISSMP)?

Haze, you can’t speak English? Then what the hell are you … ahhhh, never mind! That is so stoopid!

Okay, gotta go to work now!

Ciao guys!

ETA: doggio, I love that Retirement poster! :smiley:

I love how we have contributions from cats and babies, as well as mentions of TOEFL testing.

I saw this this morning but didn’t have the energy to respond. This is a huge problem for me, as well as a terrible hold-over from the emerging AIDS crisis when everybody was just filled with panic. Almost every year there is new legislation to change this deferral policy imposed by the FDA (not the Red Cross, or your local donation centers), and every year it remains the same.

I hate it not only because it means we have to turn away thousands and thousands of healthy (but homosexual) donors, but also because of the negative stigma it has created in the gay community towards the whole blood transfusion part of medicine. I can’t change the rules, but in the meantime I can only try to apologize for them.

Along the same lines, and considering what day it is, would anybody like a fun fact about of blood donation deferral?

Go ahead, beebs! Make my day!

Erm, other than Thursday, what day is it?
