clinical question?

Do quinolones cover "tap room TB"? Consensus---yes!

pharmacy smells....

It's been a smelly day in the pharmacy. The pharmacy would not usually strike one as a place where wild things grow and smell horribly. Maybe not your pharmacy, but hold that thought and drive to a metro clinic or outpatient pharmacy; the stinkies abound. In order to let you in on a little piece of my world imagine these smells...rancid cigarette that is so potent it burns your nose, cat pee (did they bring it with them, looking around?), alcohol from the night before or that day so strong that it could cause a contact high if that was possible, marijuana that they evidently smoked while they were in line from their antidepressants, feces and/or urine, body odor that bitch slaps you while you wonder if there is a trail of comatose people outside...

water mains are NOT important

There was mud, yes, mud flowing from my kitchen faucet this morning. Ummm? I am going to guess there is a problem. A gander out the window shows that the landlord is outside. I am off in desperate persuit. The verdict: water main break...hoard all the water you can in the next 10 minutes so they can find the leak, it will be on this evening. Wait. So I should draw a bath of mud from the faucets that give off water similar to a light mist. Needless to say, I didn't participate in that activity. Or in drawing buckets of water to dump down the toilet, sorry Johnny, your neurosi will have to live with that one.
All made plans that may include water have been cancelled until further notice: cooking, cleaning, showering, laundry...all in good fun.
Another question. How does a water main break in November? All theories are not holding up including cold weather (it's not cold yet), car accident (nope, underground), tree roots (do trees grow in November, I think not!)
I chalk this one up the decaying infrastructure of Duluth water and sewer systems. Sweet!

wow! It is so shocking that americans are bigots!

Caution: do not read if you a) like president bush b) are a bigot c) make fun of others due to their beliefs d) are very religious: Okay, so a large proportion of americans are catholic. I don't know what the percent is and frankly don't care. Many people is this country think bigotry is absurd, in any form. We are all made the way we are for a reason, even the crackheads and the hoodrats! The vatican is working 180 degrees from that and this is why Mr. Bush is president. If you don't see the correlation look harder. God forbid the catholic church actually had some character and culture that was modern. I know that that is not usually of unmost importance in ancient religious, but come on. Evolution is alive and well. How bad would it be if church was interesting...not everyone enjoys potlucks and unhappy women that are married to horrible men and shunning those who are different. Why can't we just sing cum ba ya alot...it is such a great song!

my head is foggy

there are no coherent thoughts going through my head. i have studied my ass off for a test. I am not joking my pants don't fit and are falling off. I evidently went off a "sweet jump" and didn't know it and broke the right axle on my car...whoops! Thanks for the payment dad! As you said, i don't do much for you but this is what i am here for. I am suffering from "tap room TB"...there are many smoke free bars in duluth except that one. It just so happens that they have the good bands there. I'm pretty sure that I coughed up my right bronchiole this morning. Owwee! Johnny is coming over and we gonna watch "Supertroopers"...I need a good laugh. I am trying very hard not to like him too much...is it worth it? He is so kind, says the craziest things to me and brings me lettuce from the co-op! Ohh, such a rambling post sorry. And it's snowing.

My mom is coming up tomorrow. Yeah! We are going to the brewhouse, she just doesn't know it yet! And no, I didn't scrub the kitchen floor, or the living room floor...they are dirty and are going to stay that way!

Looking forward to the turkey bird on Thursday and I don't have to travel...they are coming to me! Yes. That's good cause I don't have a car.

Need sleep now.

so scary!

Don't share prescription drugs with your friends! This is how people die, end up in the ER, scarred for life, etc. No I'm not being dramatic. There is a reason why physicians and pharmacists go to school for 8 plus years...so we know what your drugs are for, so we can give them to you IF you need them. I think this qualifies as an asstard event.

oh my tailbone

I just biffed on the back stairs in the library, but totally saved the mcdonald's. Killer. There is a conglommerate of moisture falling from the sky and the Asics don't have any grip left...Shit my tailbone hurts.

This is not my authoring, but that of the good 'ol STATESMAN at UMD.

Quotes of the day...

yes, these are mentioned in the last post but are worthy of their own title...

"so, you want a cookie?"
"so...my grandma says hi."
"I would like to be your regional delegate because I'm hot, polite and concise" --these are a product of multiple vodka/redbulls and Heather, who knew she was so fun.
"Vote for Jill" --your hand with all fingers extended spells Jill...try it!

hola long lost amigos!

I haven't been here for a long time...relatively speaking. It has been an especially busy time but I couldn't pin down any one thing that has taken considerable time. It has been a fun week, a sad week and an growing week.
Fun--went to Omaha-no not for the corn festival. Pharmacy student meeting...fun all around. Ran for regional office-didn't win. But hey, public speaking and behaving totally rock my world...not!
Hanging out with Johnny-this kid is hysterical and totally grossed out by the word poop, which happens to be my favorite word.
Rough-funeral of a highschool classmate. Classmates mom was my ma's best friend...it was incredibly difficult to watch. Makes me want to cry just thinking about it.
Growing--above said boy...rocks my world and not the way you think...get your minds out of the gutter. He's philosophical, but not abstract. Last night he says to me "so...my grandma says hi!" ummm. Okay. I don't think I know her but very nice. And then I fell off the couch laughing. I nearly fell down the stairs today when I was talking to Alli about it. It is now the quote of the month along with "do you want a cookie"--Nebraska don't ask!
Okay back to studying about mucus and respiratory delivery and deposition. Fun, eh?

thanks alot

My family has passed the incredible cold sore gene onto me. They fricking hurt! Thanks alot! Picture two ginormous ones that look like vampire teeth. Once again thanks alot!

There only specific circumstances that warrant the appearance of one of these beautiful earthly creatures: stress, studying, lack of hydration, a date the next day, public speaking, hot weather, cold weather, thinking about them, looking at the tube of Abreva, well pretty much anything. I hate you go away. Very mature post...I'm sure you are proud.

You're a crackhead...

I'm a crackhead...I decided to run for regional office. This is way exciting, I get to play with policy more and argue...Yea! This is an assurance that I will not be sleeping for at least a year.

halloween pics as promised

A pan of jello shots and a few margaritas in...

Island pineapple jello is not a good substrate for jello shots so we will be having a re-do at MRM in NE.

A quick tour of the pics. I am a brain donor and yes, I lost my brain. The girl next to me is "something about Mary" with unsaid substance in her hair!

Pictures of the fam...

Our family does guys/girls segregation photos...why do we do this? Does anyone else do this?
