Check your Walmarts!!
Spicy Cajun shrimp mac and cheese. Putting my new double boiler to work. Taste-wise, not bad, though it wasn't nearly as spicy as I was hoping. Now I have food for the next two days.
@Coopah ... yaaaay, that's great news!Silly rave but, I finally found a place to live!!!!!! I've been so worried because basically all the housing is gone and everything is booked until summer next year, but I finally found a house with roommates that was ok living with a married couple! I'm just so grateful to finally have that figured out!
@amgoose319 ... that is wonderful news.My fiance found a job today! He has been applying everywhere since January. I think I'm happier than he is lol.
I also found out I am graduating with High Distinction.
And I got coffee today.
Life is good. Two weeks of classes left, the end is in sight!
@Lupin21 ... said like a true champion, with much respect, dignity, confidence and clarity! Awesome!I have and will continue to learn the most from people who expect the most of me. I appreciate the people in my life who have pushed me to the max to be better, because I am better for it. Critical thinking makes navigating life so much more rewarding when faced with challenges, and conquering with all the vengeance of a person full of self confidence, and the self confidence to acknowledge when input should be sought for the ultimate resolution.
I wish more people understood this however. I fear that this type of mentorship is being lost. I was able to grow by leaps and bounds because I respected the people who taught me to be my own critic. Standards are a great thing to set, and then meet off of one's own determination. When I fell short, I reevaluated, sought my own weaknesses, and corrected the ship to bring myself to the destination I had set for myself. This would not have been possible without the experience of the captains before pointing out my weaknesses to overcome and the strengths I had to bring life into balance.@Lupin21 ... said like a true champion, with much respect, dignity, confidence and clarity! Awesome!
thank you!!@amgoose319 ... that is wonderful news.
Congratulations to your fiance on his new job!
Congratulations to you on your upcoming graduation with High Distinction!
I'm sure you're both celebrating the good news for each other, and with each other!
Now to mix all the pieces of both up so that whoever comes along after me is incredibly frustrated and confusedI got two 1000 piece puzzles for really cheap today!
YAYYYYYYYYYHalf of SDN has already heard about this, but whatever.
I did my first cystotomy since going out into practice on Friday... on a guinea pig. Seven years old. Who hadn't eaten properly in a week, moderate ileus, 14 bladder stones (one with a mucous plug attached down the urethra and I have no idea how he's been urinating) and, oh, is owned by the neighbor and good friend of my boss (who is currently out of town).
No pressure, right?
Surgery and anesthesia went fine, but the little jerk face wouldn't eat post-op. Spent an hour shoving critical care, cilantro and greens and bell pepper down his gullet last night, I'm off today so I exhibited appropriate work-life balance by sitting anxiously by my phone most of the morning hoping for a requested update from our techs. MISSED THE PHONE CALL, straight to voicemail when I called her back. Tried again and she updated me... HE IS EATING!!
I repeat, eating AND drinking, apparently mowing down his hay, greens and treats. Peeing and pooping. Not out of the woods yet and I'm probably jinxing myself by celebrating, but I'm not someone who gets super anxious about surgical patients (tend to be a "I've done my best and it's up to them from now on" sort of person) so the amount of stressing I've been doing over this little dude has been exhausting and I just want him to do well. He's doing well. I'm so happy. Good piggy with a really sweet teenage owner.

I need one of these...I am the ultimate in lazy. My wife goes running with our dog.
I, on the other hand, just purchased a Bike Tow Leash .... and found out that my dog really is part Husky like I thought. My 6-mile trip to Starbucks and back involved pedaling mayyyyyybe a couple minutes at the end when he decide he was annoyed to be nearing home and decided to be lazy.
So freaking awesome!!!Half of SDN has already heard about this, but whatever.

If you like the chocolate, you should try the peanut butter flavorJust tried Halo Top for the first time, and I'm pleasantly surprised by how good it is! I got the chocolate flavor, and while it wasn't chocolatey enough for me (nothing ever is!), the texture was really good and there wasn't any weird aftertaste. Just not crazy about the price.
I've already found some homemade Halo Top recipes. I have a date with my ice cream maker tomorrow for strawberry sorbet, but I'll report back as soon as I try one!
Congratulations!!! She's beautiful!View attachment 218054

I would be very interested! Let me shoot you a PM@vetmedhead if you want puzzles, I have many 500-1000 piece puzzles I'm trying to get out of my house. will send them via usps if desired
That's AWESOME! I'm so happy for you!Despite my reservations, I passed the last GI phys exam (which is pretty notorious for being the test with the highest failure rate of first year and its format) by quite a healthy margin! YAAAAS!
Now if only I could have such luck with anatomy. Hahaha.
Hey that's my first day of class too!Last Monday of undergrad. Two tests this week and research for the next two weeks then I'm freeeee... until Aug 14th
I think classes start a week later tbh. That's wen my work obligation begins for the research assistantship. The PI is still at OSU though so I have no clue what's gonna happen once I get to GeorgiaHey that's my first day of class too!
...says it's the 2nd most boring profession behind Pharmacy....
(Sorry, wasn't able to cut the smileys from the original post from my phone...)
Animal breeding was the WORST. So many tedious math equations and a breeding simulation assignment that was all dumb luck (imo)LAST WEEK OF SCHOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't believe it's almost over. I have 3 finals. One (my hardest, animal breeding) may be optional, but the professor doesn't tell us until the day of so really hoping it's optional. He really hates on vets and says it's the 2nd most boring profession behind Pharmacy.... then I just have to get above a 50% on Biochemistry and Physics to keep my grade!

The final definitely not optional when I took it hahaDid you take it at Purdue?!?! I think this has been my most hated class in undergrad... I really don't think I'll use this info. Did he make the final optional?!?!
