Well it was good actually. One of the 5 or 6 most famous researchers was there and she and I tag teamed a neonatal A and P lecture for the rest of the Neos and a bunch of Fellows and Residents. For some reason she thinks we are friends, so I just go with it. She broke social distancing protocol and hugged me when she heard about my promotion and she started dancing. I absolutely can't believe this and I texted everyone I know. Then we went in the unit for rounds and hopefully turned a couple of kids around. Hell of a good day. But I did have that beer.Quote:

This is a song by the band Alabama, which is probably the greatest country band of all time (Now I would say the Oak Ridge Boys were more talented and had much more range, but Alabama is synonymous with country music). There is no way they would make this song today. This and the haunting "Seminole Wind" by John Anderson came during a time when there was virtually no disagreement about climate change. That seems like forever ago. No country band would release those songs today or they would get Dixie Chicked. As an aside I could listen to Natalie Maines sing the phone book and love it.Quote:

Originally Posted by YmoBeThere

Origins are unclear, but there certainly seems to be some Algerian influence...they term it "a rather successful marriage between panini, kebab and burrito." They've been around for about 20 years, and have become gigantically popular.
This is THE junk food of the French, with a great "cost to calorie" ratio...When you order, you look at various columns and choose: the size, the meat, the sauce (great choices) and the extras.
The author raved about her choice: "The Original" with sauce Algerienne, chicken breast and cheddar, with internal fries and cheese sauce, made with creme fraiche and Gruyere, big enough for "bicep curls."
All this popped up in the environs of Lyons in southern France.
And by the way, the article notes that despite what some think, the French love junk food, and a 2015 study showed that half the population is now overweight or obese...

Maybe once every year or so I will be giving a lecture or at dinner with some Physicians and one of the neonatologists will quietly point out that they can see that I had my ears pierced and they will share that they did too or have hidden tattoos.

Then I went through another period where I rarely wore earrings and the holes closed up. If you pinch my earlobes, you can feel the scars from the previous piercings but I don't if you can tell by looking at them. I'll have to check with a mirror. I think even back then, I probably had the nickel allergy, as both prolonged periods of not wearing earrings was brought on by finding that most earrings made my ears feel itchy. It just got worse over time. I cannot wear any jewelry with nickel in it (no, not even 24 ct gold). You know how some people can't be on an airplane if they are serving peanuts? If I spend time in contact with a metal alloy containing even trace amounts of nickel, I will react. I have had allergic reactions to the metallic thread in a pair of sandals. I have allergic reactions to black and dark green nylon socks because of the amount of nickel in the dye.
No piercings or tattoos here. Never held any interest for me.

I realize that - but you gotta use something to label people "overweight" and the most common measure people use is BMI. So, whenever I read that such and such percentage of a population is overweight, I want to know exactly what they mean by that. ;)Quote:

Best of luck with the rebuild. I mostly miss my pool when mowing my lawn in mid-July. That's when you want to jump in even of it isn't as warm as you would like.
Yeah, it’s not cheap. It’s about a 20 y/o pool. I think everything is the original so hopefully we’re out of here before the next round of fixes. 2 of the 3 return lines were shot when we got in and final one busted last year.Quote:

I think that's it. I don't remember what else was nominated. I may have seen one of them all the way through. I love Riz Ahmed. (I should have watched to see if he won.)
He didn't.
We saw Nomadland and Chicago 7. I had not even heard of most of the other movies nominated.Quote:

I did see Chicago 7.
I’ve never changed a diaper.

I've never had kids and have changed multiple diapers for multiple kids - not all of them related.Quote:
