We did it just for the experience. It was in the day before there were so many blood borne critters to worry about. Heck, we would be running the lab tests with one hand and eating a hamburger with the other. Good old days. <br /><br />We used to test our own blood for different stuff. We needed the practice doing venipunctures. One day I had some blood drawn shortly after eating an avocado, the whole thing. My blood was full of these masses of white globs. Scared me. Arthur said it was just the fat. Hey, that's suppose to be good fat. I was surprised it could move thru my arteries without plugging something up.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10040510292724803196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2735094423029416610.post-10341596823568693852011-01-29T17:18:31.592-06:002011-01-29T17:18:31.592-06:00Carol, I am going to the new post.Carol, I am going to the new post.janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03444805355043272927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2735094423029416610.post-75325685641000935092011-01-29T17:12:13.614-06:002011-01-29T17:12:13.614-06:00They probably sucked a piece of that bacon into th...They probably sucked a piece of that bacon into the test tube with my blood.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10040510292724803196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2735094423029416610.post-42732392860407100982011-01-29T17:11:25.401-06:002011-01-29T17:11:25.401-06:00New postNew postjanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03444805355043272927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2735094423029416610.post-78862693585378577242011-01-29T17:11:16.170-06:002011-01-29T17:11:16.170-06:00Carol, John has been on statin's for 15 years....Carol, John has been on statin's for 15 years.

I am taking John with me for just the cost of his plane ticket and his food of course.

I just don't believe that as so many people have predicted that before. I probably won't try to listen to him, as that sort of thing just raises my anxiety and I don't need any more of that. <br /><br />I probably won't sign another contract to do this again But I think I will try to finish the contract I signed. It is just that there is no way to do 10 hours a week when I have students. They have to do 64 hours of community clinical in about 6 weeks time. when you have students in a hospital setting you can assign all 8 of them to one patient each. In a community setting, you can't take all 8 students in with one family visit.janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03444805355043272927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2735094423029416610.post-29307983894126196342011-01-29T07:53:17.530-06:002011-01-29T07:53:17.530-06:00I am trying to catch up on my reading here.

I remember while living in Montana that we would get snowed in for 2-3 days at a time. We lived in a little development outside the city limits and they did not plow our little streets. I am trying to remember what we did to get through it. I guess it has been too long ago. I know we did buy cross country skis there. so probably did do some of that. <br /><br />Anyway Coreen, I am just thinking about you and hope you are doing ok.<br /><br />Chloe, I will miss you. Do check in every so often. I have been as busy as a "cat covering manuer" Can't spell any more. My dad used to say this.

I did hear George say that Mr. McDonald was the first he's interviewed who really thinks that those times are actually near. So, for now, I'll keep my day job. <br /><br />The weather here was absolutely beautiful today. Another early taste of Spring. Sorry Coreen. It said 71 on my vehicle and it was bright and sunny. It's suppose to be nice again tomorrow, during the day, before the rain returns. <br /><br />I'm tentatively planning to go fishing tomorrow but the water level is so low that my boat, sitting on that platform, is about a foot above the water.

The Fish and Game Commission also said New Year's Eve fireworks likely led the birds to fly at a lower-than-normal altitude and into buildings or trees. It's estimated that 4,000 to 5,000 birds fell before midnight."<br /><br />I still don't buy it. Why doesn't that happen more often? They have had those bird there before and the fireworks. <br /><br />They reported that "The tests ruled out bacteria, viruses, heavy metals, pesticides and chemicals used to kill birds as causes of death."<br /><br />I do buy that because it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that those things wouldn't cause 5000 birds to fall out of the sky at close to the same time. It still could be some other phenomena. <br /><br />http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/01/27/dead-birds-and-fish-in-ar_n_814853.htmlCarolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10040510292724803196noreply@blogger.com
