Thursday night

pokepoke27 · July 2012

Oh Leisel - that sounds so awful. Can he not get some kind of medical leave or something? Or does he have his own practice? I know it really sucks that you can't hlep. I hate htat feeling.

Sorry to hear about your dad too, Loopy. That's so sad.

Loopyseven · July 2012

Hey KJB - not a medical professional, but I'm happy to see you!

Hi LDY! How's it going? Are you getting settled? Did you have your interview yet, or is that tomorrow?

zizibet · July 2012

No, I mean 18-20 year olds. They were girls whose parents were extreme fundie churches. And they couldn't function in the world. I met them doing literacy tutoring.

J&K10910 · July 2012

Ugh, sorry Loops and Leisel! I hope everyone recovers quickly.

Birdie, I'm not a doctor, but I stayed at a Holiday Inn last night

My favorite swim supplier is having a big sale and free shipping right now. I'm pumped. I'm ordering a bunch of stuff.

Random thought of the night: Would mermaids have permanently prune-y fingers? Or would they adapt and have regular de-pruned fingers. But in that case, if they were out of the water, would their fingers crack and dry?

Serious thoughts, by Any.

Birdie1483 · July 2012

Loopy, I assume you're talking to me.

Happy to see you too!

Winnertag1 · July 2012

Loopy - oh wow, thats a lot for you & your family to handle, I hope your dad has a very speedy recovery.

Leisel - Im sorry about your dad, its frustrating not being able to help when you want to.

PetalPockets2012 · July 2012

Mermaids - I would think there fingers would have a special oil or something that kept them from getting wrinkly fingers. Or their skin would be adapted. The would have smooth fingers.

Loopyseven · July 2012

Birdie - Ha.. Yes. I was. Not sure why I had KJB on the brain just then.

[QUOTE]Liesel - are they close enough you could maybe spend one night a week there so your mom can take an ambien and get a good night's sleep once a week? Even if you don't actually DO much (does he get called out in the middle of the night regularly?) it might be enough of a break for her to make a big difference.

</div><div>For the next two weeks, I definitely can and plan on being there quite a bit. August 1 we're moving to where I'm starting school so it'll be a little harder, but I'm going to try and help her out. He does get called in during the night pretty regularly, but I'm hoping one of his partners will switch around schedules with him so that he doesn't need to be coming in that much. </div><div>
</div><div>My dad is joking thought that he needs to come up with something to buy my mom as a thank you. Almost a year ago, he tore his Achilles tendon playing tennis, and my mom was driving him around all the time then. But he was in a walking boot, so it wasn't to this extent. So he bought her an iPad haha. </div>

Winnertag1 · July 2012

We sent out thank you cards last night in regular post & people received them this afternoon, very impressed with Canada Post right now.

Also got a text from a florist we met with yesterday and he already has a sample of our centrepiece ready for him to see him that he made to look like the picture I showed him. I'm excited to see that =D

Loopyseven · July 2012

Any - mermaids have magical skin that is always smooth and soft... *duh*

pokepoke27 · July 2012

Any - I've had those thoughts. I don't think they have pruney fingers. They probably have some kind of membrane or something covering their skin that keeps it from getting water logged. This membrane also keeps their skin moisturized enough above water to keep their skin from getting dry and cracked. Not for overly long though - but they certainly could spend a day lounging in the sun on a rock in the rainbow lagoon.

Posted by Loopyseven[/QUOTE]
It's going - I'm so over not working :( We're getting settled slowly, we love it here, but we don't have a bed yet (gave our queen to his dad for helping us move, gave our full to our nephew) so we've been on an air mattress in the living room for 3 weeks, we're kind of over it! We're just waiting until I've got a job to buy a new bed, so it's a good incentive!<div>
</div><div>Phone interview tomorrow at 10! I'm nervous. Almost more nervous because I know he's still just qualifying me for a real interview...I do MUCH better when people meet me and talk to me than just read my resume or whatever. I'm hoping it goes well, it's defintiely not a "forever" job, but it's something until I find something real!</div><div>
</div><div>How are you feeling?? Can you feel the kiddo moving yet?</div>

zizibet · July 2012

Loopy, I'm so sorry.

LDYGTR13 · July 2012

Any, that might be the deepest thought I've ever heard.

</div><div>LOL...I would guess that their skin wouldn't get pruny because they'd have evolved skin that was adapted to water, or maybe water proof. If they were waterproof, then I don't think that their skin would crack and dry out of water because they wouldn't lose water out of water???</div><div>
</div><div>If I remember my cell biology correctly, our skin gets pruny in water because of an imbalance of water in the cell and out of the cell...it's called Hypertonic. </div><div>

Solid answers you guys. I love this place.

LeiselEB · July 2012

Lizzie and Poke - he can get people to cover some of his cases, but definitely not that many. He has his own corporation but the group covers three different hospitals so they see quite a bit of action, so to speak. He's an interventional radiologist - they do things like repair aneurysms using catheters and scopes instead of opening up someone's chest. It's actually a really cool field, but there aren't that many people in the area who do those procedures. And he's a professor at the medical school here and is the head of the radiology residency program, so he's got a lot of shiiit to do, haha. Plus, he just really enjoys what he does, so even if taking some kind of leave was an option, I don't think he'd do it.

LeiselEB · July 2012

I'm so long winded tonight. Sorry, everyone!

I also think that mermaids have magical skin.

PetalPockets2012 · July 2012

I just noticed that AA has a Knottie of the week.

I want to have Knottie elections. For what, I don't know.

Birdie1483 · July 2012

Dude the old folks are coming out of the woodwork!

pokepoke27 · July 2012

That makes sense Leisel. I really hope that things go easy for him. My dad has a hard time taking it easy when he's hurt. It sucks.

musicalsunlight · July 2012

LDY, I am making sure that the pups send all of their cute puppy luck vibes to you.

LDYGTR13 · July 2012

Why thank you, Musu

I'm currently trying to keep my mind off of job hunting (it stresses me out so bad) and I'm writing my millions of fundraising letters for Team in Training. I'm trying to keep them all somewhat personal and writing notes on the ends of all of the letters I wrote that make it less "this is what I'm sending everyone, send me money" - but my hand is cramping. This fundraising stuff is HARD.

Especially with X and Gator starting at me asking me why I'm not petting them.

Megbo2012 · July 2012

Leisel and Loops I'm sorry about your dads

Ldy I'm glad you are liking Gboro! Any since human skin is kind of waterproof so I'd assume whatever makes it do that, mermaids simply wouldn't have.

I missed YOU. I need to go to stalk you on The Facebook. I haven't been on the computer hardly at the for the past week, for serious. And only sporadically before then. Hmpf. Stupid job.

LDYGTR13 · July 2012

Meg, I haven't told you how absolutely HOT you were at your wedding. Bravo, ma'am. Bravo. Did you love your honeymoon?!
