Lawnmower Boy Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 When you do introduce discretionary grading by committee, a narrow range like that gives every member of the committee a veto. Which is how you spell "nepotism." Not that there's anything like that in medicine. Gee, wonder how my nephew did on the MCAT. (Son, nephew, grandson and great-great grandson of doctors; we don't talk about his missionary great-grandfather, who let the side down by wasting his time with the liberal arts at Cambridge. What a maroon.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

death tribble Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 Have now seen Meghain Trainer and the video to All About that Base. Pleasently surprised. I did not think she was Caucasian and her size makes the song really resonate. BlueCloud2k2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vondy Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 I didn't want to start a thread for this, but I just walked in the door to be told by my wife that one of the victims of today's Har Nof terrorist attack, was the brother of a friend of ours who also prays in that synagogue -- but wasn't there because he's less religious than he once was. Baruch dayan haemet. Blessed be the True Judge -- because I can't speak to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan D. Hurricanes Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 "This new medication may cause nausea," she said. "Ok," I said. I didn't realize she meant immediately. "It will go away after three to four days," she said. It's day one, I may be dead by day four. "It will also help you lose weight," she said. Yeah, not being able to eat will do that. As the kids say, "Been there. Done that. Bought the t-shirt." It's not a diet plan I want try again. At least I haven't actually thrown up, yet.

tkdguy Posted November 29, 2014 Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 Watching mystery shows from around the world, I notice a lot of the protagonists have backgrounds not in law enforcement. Not counting police (including retired cops) and private investigators, we have priests, writers, journalists, students, industrial cleaners, and even an oenologist! Have I left anything out?

bigbywolfe Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 Is it just me or is using the "stupid" emoji with a sarcastic comment as a response a bit close to calling the other person's point stupid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 Went with my daughter this afternoon as she went Christmas shopping with a very low budget. First stop was a drug store. For no good reason, we went through the bin of "final markdown" junk. There I found the Ultimate Tasteless Awful Thing to gift-wrap and contribute to a low-budget anonymous random gift exchange circle. Those of you writing fiction with an over-the-top slimeball character, this is for you, if you need new levels of badness. Marked down to $2.99 (and make sure to leave that pricetag on the box).... This is really, really tasteless. Save yourself the brain bleach and don't. A store-brand DNA Paternity Test collection kit. tkdguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
