  1. Only two guys?! What's up with that?
  2. I generally like Egg Drop Soup.... or Pad Thai... or anything salty and carb loaded...
  3. Just go with the Blank Stare for an answer. That'll work ok, maybe not
  4. Meanie. Making poor drunk Americans burn their lil tastebuds.... (ummmm.... wait..... I guess I shouldn't chastize cuz I was a little mean to poor drunk American GI's when I was in Germany and they assumed that I was German.....) Forget the above chastizement. Just don't do it to me Cuz if the tongue gets burned, then it cant be properly used.

    Am I dead?

    Michele.... You don't need a doctor to tell you that you are alive. Or that you have a viral illness. You just want one to tell you that you're sick, but "it will all get better." I wish I could tell you that and be 100% honest. But I don't know. Is your loss of thermostatic stability a sign of just trying to kill the bug? Is it fibromyalgia? Is it a post viral fatigue/chronic fatigue situation? There is so much about viruses that we just don't know. But... whether you're alive or "undead".... you have good friends that are willing to help and entertain you.... That should help you feel more better than any silly medico trying to tell you "You'll be fine"
  6. Make sure you don't give the kid HOT chocolate. If you don't check it and go speeding down the road and your kid gets burned>SUE THEIR ASSES OFFhttp://www.indystar.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2006611160497 I think it would be VERY difficult to make fresh breast milk scalding. Starbuck should be happy that she's offering a safe alternative so that dangerous hot chocolate.
  7. I am more like my mom, but a toned down version. She is sweet enough to rot your teeth and always (ALWAYS) self-sacrificing. Sometimes it annoyed me to keep watching her bend and then get taken advantage of.... I don't want to be that "nice." But I'm not anywhere near as stubborn or cold as my father was. I look up obstinate in websters thesaurus and most of the synonyms (adamant, hard, hardened, hardheaded, hardhearted, headstrong, immovable, implacable, inflexible, mulish, obdurate, opinionated, ossified, pat, pertinacious, rigid, self-willed, stubborn, unbending, uncompromising, unrelenting, unyielding, willful) could apply to him. The antonyms (acquiescent, agreeable, amenable, compliant, complying, flexible, pliable, pliant, relenting, yielding) describe my mom.... I don't want to be thought of as either.
  8. 21yo.... I hate it when the body doesn't work the way it should.... At least he lived!
  9. But... honestly, I think refering to her as a Bitch was a bit overcompensating. (I don't want to spoil too much, so I'll just leave it at that.) Wonderful movie. Stong character development. Lots of action. And a blonde bond was ok.... I liked his transition from arrogant to "open" to cold. Sad... but understandable. Good movie, worth the ticket price.
  10. Birthday riddle Where is the defibrillator ? There is a Hospital with five operating theatres (operating rooms) arranged in a row and there is a case going on in each one of them. Each theatre does only one type of speciality and there are five different specialities (Not in any particular order , they are: Orthopedic, Neuro, Trauma, Paediatrics, Cardiac ). Each theatre has only one Anesthetist ( Chang, John , Mumtaz , Solan , Prasan) There are five different types of fluids , and each theatre is using a different one at the moment (Saline, Blood, Dextrose, Plasma, Colloid) There are five different types of airway, and each theatre is using a different one at the moment.( standard tracheal tube, armoured tracheal tube, curved tracheal tube (RAE) , face mask airway, laryngeal mask airway) There are five defibrillators (defib), one in each theatre. Unfortunately , only one of them is in working order. The other four are not in working . Each one has a different fault ( Broken switch ; No batteries ; Broken paddles ; Missing wires) Now the question ! A surgeon has collapsed in the coffee room. You must get the defibrillator fast. Which theatre has the working defibrillator ? Note: 1. Not attempting to save the surgeon is not acceptable. 2. Do NOT use your medical knowledge , e.g. which fluids for a paediatric case etc. This is a riddle , not a medical exam ! 3. The solution to the riddle involves no guessing. You can definitely solve it with information provided . 4. There are fifteen clues. Make sure that you have them all if you are printing this page. Here are the clues : 1. Mumtaz works in the Neuro theatre. 2. Prasan has the defibrillator with the broken switch. 3. Solan is using Dextrose. 4. When looking at the theatres from front, the Paediatric Theatre is on the left of the Trauma Theatre. 5. The Anesthetist in the Paediatric theatre is using Saline. 6. The Anaesthetist using the standard tracheal tube has the defibrillator without wires. 7. The Anaesthetist in the Cardiac theatre is using a Face Mask Airway. 8. The Anesthetist in the middle theatre is infusing plasma to the patient. 9. John is working in the first theatre. 10. The Anesthetist who is using the laryngeal mask airway is working next to the theatre that has the defibrillator with broken paddles 11. The Anesthetist who has the defibrillator with no batteries is working next to the theatre using the face mask airway. 12. The Anesthetist using the armoured tracheal tube is giving blood to the patient . 13. Chang is using the curved tracheal tube. 14. John is working next to the Orthopedic theatre. 15. The Anesthetist using the laryngeal mask airway is working next to the theatre where colloid is being given to the patient. Which theatre has the working defibrillator !!!!! Time yourself ...Good Luck to the surgeon. I have based this riddle on one devised by Albert Einstein in the early 20th century. He said that 98% of the population would not be able to solve it. Well, you are an Anesthetist , so you must be in the balance 2 %. This riddle is not very difficult . Don't give up too easily. Using the clues given above, you can definitely work out which operating room has the working defibrillator. Link to answers ps.... I found the right Defib, can you?
  11. Hey there.... Here are some things to do today Relax and pass some gas, Bore the most important person in the room til he/she falls asleep Breathe..... then give another one Happy Birthday! And here's a joke to make you smile. She, a surgeon and he, an anesthesiologist, just married in the first night. She washed herself before going to bed like usually in OR. He said:" Oh, fine, good to have a surgeon as wife, typicall, everytime clean and sterile!" Next morning she said:" Oh, I have also some compliments for you, typical anesthesiologist, I did not feel anything!" AND... I wanted to add this one!! Is there an Anesthetist on this flight ? Cyprus Air Flight 724 was cruising at thirty-five thousand feet. Everyone had just finished having their lunch. The soft whining of the engines was coaxing passengers to sleep. Sitting in economy class , row 22 seat B, was an Anesthetist wiggling his toes in an attempt to prevent deep vein thrombosis developing in his feet. As he sipped a complimentary glass of water , a frantic message came over the public address system; "Anesthetist urgently needed for someone in Business Class!" Hoping that someone else would get up, our Anesthetist pretended not to hear and looked out of the window. The call came again; "Please ... we urgently need an Anaesthetist for someone in Business Class " Perhaps this was serious . Why did they need an Anesthetist ? Maybe it was a cardiac arrest! Trying to recall the ABC's , the Anesthetist got the attention of one of the cabin staff. They were so relieved; "Thank you Sir, for volunteering to help us. There is this gentleman who needs your urgent assistance in Business Class" He was taken to the Business Class section. Wow! There was so much pace. It was another world compared to the cramped Economy Class. But where was the patient ? There were only a few passengers , and all were asleep except one of them who was reading a newspaper. obody seemed to be in any distress. This was perplexing . Suddenly the man reading the newspaper looked up. He was a rather well fed gentleman and had a grumpy voice; " Are you an Anesthetist ?" "Yes ... ?" "Oh what fortune ! I am an Orthopedic Surgeon , and have been looking for an Anesthetist . So glad that they managed to find one ...." This was getting frightening. Was this man trying to do surgery in this aircraft ? The nervous Anesthetist managed to ask ; "How may I help you ?" "Well I have been trying to read this newspaper ...but the reading light isn't aimed correctly. Can you please adjust it for me ...."
  12. Good Luck!!! Let us know how the interview went.
  13. I was hoping you meant the food.... or kinda food.... or brownish meatlike substance in a can....
  14. I would cuz I would want to meet him and find out for myself if he's as .... different as everyone claims. (and just go for the eyecandy aspect of it)
  15. Duh! For the badge! Officers love their many badges! Badges?! We don't need no stinkin' badges!
  16. I think it should be legal and accepted.... but some people do have issue with it, so I think the nice option is for the one breastfeeding to be discrete. It should not be illegal, it should not be indecent exposure, it should not be restricted (even with "ugly boobies") Honestly.... she's not doing a dance or shaking her shoulders or anything. edit to add: I know you were probably joking, but some people might really feel that way
  17. get away from metric. dropping 5 lbs would be much easier.
  18. Does this mean I get the spanking Ive been trolling for? About friggen time .... I was going to go to a conference.... but.... let me go get the leather.... and the cat.... or would the flat paddle be better?
  19. No Blue Diamonds for you! You were being mean to them earlier this week. Bad LMWB.
  20. The one that I respected most had 16k jumps. But he was NOT a "Skygod" A "skygod" is generally those who think they know it all, but really just have enough info to be dangerous. Kinda like the 100jump wonders (looks at profile....) or even the 1000 jump wonders that don't respect the sport and are over confident.
  21. And talking about cracks and nuts.... but I've heard that they do have some nice racks over there

    Ceroc / Leroc

    I would LOVE to learn Ceroc or any type of dance. I grew up in a family that did [small whisper print] square dancing [end whisper] And LOVED it. I also learned [whisper]clogging[end whisper], ballroom, and a SMALL amount of swing. I really want to learn the merengue. And I do not think a guy card should be pulled for dancing.
