I like Abbey Quads. I’m also a fan of Hefeweizens, and anything from Stone Brewing Company and Lancaster Brewing Company.
What did you accomplish today?

- Start date
Don't worry, I don't have one. I just need to find one to answer some procedural questions and I don't wanna do it. I'm reading the CA procedure codes to motivate me. It's almost working.
Nice they have 10 of the Nocturnum at my local Bevmo. I'll have to try it and congrats on dropping your A1C and stay away from those poisonous carbs
Thank you, I shed a tear, that is precisely the car I deserve LOL

I do not. It completely wipes all my short term, which is why I enjoy it. So I was in a class that required State Boards to get the license (doesn't matter I don't carry that license anymore). After the program ended I stopped smoking, upped my exercise and cleaned up my diet and since I tend to test extremely well I did not bother to study.
Come the morning of Boards we all carpooled. They were going over possible questions and solutions. It was at that point I realized I don't remember diddly squat of any of this shit and I freak! They handed me a joint and I rejected it (freaked I tell ya). Being true stoner friends they simply rolled up the windows (it was a nice summer day in LA), and hot boxed my ass.
We rolled in looking like this:
I passed and I stopped pot (for several reasons), but memory was a biggie.
LOL, I can remember rolling into the parking lot for class, furiously misting myself with orange oil in hopes of disguising the fumes.
I stopped due to memory loss as well. After my first yr working med-surg, I transferred to the ED. Far too fast paced for me to be burnt.
You went on much farther than I could've ever imagined. I stopped with just a BSN.I stopped due to memory loss as well. After my first yr working med-surg, I transferred to the ED. Far too fast paced for me to be burnt.
And I miss it but I've forgotten sooo much and I couldn't imagine going back now...even if my body allowed it my mind would not.
You worked med-surg! OMG I bow, that was brutal. I kept going because the work it was brutal, school was easier.

It was many yrs ago but I do remember having this intense feeling when I finished. Suddenly my confidence was nonexistent and I had nothing "due". No 10 page term papers. No deadlines. No rotations where I could depend on other peoples abilities while remaining "a student". Just me and an expensive piece of paper. I was scared out of my wits.
And telemetry was very intimidating. I didn't feel as though I had the skills for the position in med-surg as a brand new nurse. I was fortunate to work with (mostly) great people who were very understanding and some "old hands" who took me under their wing and helped me along.
My memory really is shot but I can vividly remember pushing my very first cardiac meds. I was on cloud nine that day, though it took at least a yr for me to feel clinically confident.

I don't avoid carbs, I still eat everything as long as one thing is missing called refined sugar aka glucose
Pasta, rice, bread, potatoes, fruit, all carbs but the pasta is spelt or wholegrain, rice is whole, I can make a list but the bottom line is REFINED sugar, aka glucose, and anything with sugar added, is out unless it's alcohol related and then quantities are limited. No white wheat flour, no shite processed food, just decent home cooking using proper food that isn't filled with chemicals.
The other thing is the quantity on the plate in front of you, I got the warning and heeded it. Stop shovelling so much down the throat, lose excess blubber, everything comes in order.
Type 2 is mainly a lifestyle disease, although there's also a genetic factor with me, but the bottom line is I dropped 17kg since my stay in hospital in August, 23kg lost in around 10 months, the dietitian told me to lose 5kg in a year and I told her she would get at least 10 because anyone can lose 5 without trying, and I made some pretty minor changes to my diet but, mainly, the biggest change was how much was on the plate.
That's all it needed, eat less, lose blubber and be more aware of WHAT is being eaten. Simple as that.
And the secret weapon? Buckwheat. We don't have regular flour any more, that stuff is used to make pizza bases, sauces, whatever. If you can make it using wheat flour, then you can with buckwheat and it's much better for you and you get a lovely flavour added to whatever thanks to the buckwheat. And, iirc, if you have problems with gluten then buckwheat is a good solution as I think it's low/zero gluten so your penis won't take off like an ICBM (Yes, I saw that documentary called South Park).
As I say, I got the warning and heeded it. Countless others don't. I know I'll outlive them but that's their problem.
Oh my! I did a turn as an MICN for about a minute, then I realized the only place you could save lives was the OR. I loved the adrenaline and always worked the highest acuity I could. Boredom and having to talk to patients was pure hell. I wasn't very concerned about their uneducated opinions on what they needed. Trauma, neuro and vascular were my loves. I once transferred some guy out of the ICU because after I extubated him and kindly gave him some coffee he complained about the coffee! So I unilaterally stepped his ass down all the way to med-surg (it was County). As you can see I was a high order jerk, nursing was glad to see me go.

uh-oh
"The suspect, Joseph James DeAngelo, 72, was arrested by the police on Tuesday. Investigators accuse him of committing more than 50 rapes and 12 murders. Investigators used DNA from crime scenes and plugged that genetic profile into a private online genealogy database. They found distant relatives of Mr. DeAngelo’s and traced their DNA to him."

That is my biggest fear as well & I knew it was just a matter of time.
Thanks George Orwell for giving us the heads up we didn't heed.

Still cleaning up. That's a 12x20 tarp. I think I overloaded it. May have to get tractor out tomorrow to pull it.
Fucking moles damaged that big muddy spot. They can consider themselves on notice. It's going to be a rough weekend for them.

Yea but it said that the sample wasn't good quality and the test could neither rule him out nor say for sure. The DNA sample was freely given for a previous robbery case.
In that case several mistakes led to it happening.
I have my concerns about it. I have even changed my stance in the death penalty because of the amount of mistakes made.
I still have no problem with police catching a rapist or killer using it. As long as a second and maybe third DNA test done and the results conclusive.
I agree whole heartedly - that bastard should fry if it was him - my question is where does this stop?
Though I would bet heavily that the govt already has my dna so it's moot when it comes to me.

I'm sure they do. I know the military said they took our samples when I went in.
Something about in case they couldn't identify the body by other means.

it looks you are smart.
I'm just not too comfortable with Big Brother looking over my shoulder.
And it's getting worse with improved technology.
I do very little that is illegal (other than a few small federal laws that my state overlooks anyway), but I insist on my privacy.

there are flags not to wave, but i got curious. the high estimates are 50,000 nsa agents. there are 325 million Americans. that's 6,500 people per agent. if they sat, unblinking, in front of a monitor for 8 hours, that would be 4.4 seconds per person. i'll gamble that i'm just taking a shit or picking my nose during my 4.4 seconds
