QUOTES

Even in medicine, though it is easy to know what honey, wine and hellebore, cautery and surgery are, to know how and to whom and when to apply them so as to effect a cure is no less an undertaking than to be a [veterinarian].

Aristotle, 384-322 BC

Whenever I watch TV and see those poor starving kids all over the world, I can't help but cry. I mean I'd love to be skinny like that, but not with all those flies and death and stuff.

Mariah Carey, CPB (crazy psycho bitch)

Keep your wits about you.

Dr. Wally Cash, DVM

Work twice as hard and expect half as much.

Dr. Dan's Dad, both DVMs

Don't be screwin' around, you don't have the genetic potential.

What Dr. Dan's Dad said to Dr. Dan when he went to college.

I'd rather have a terrorist standing next to me than a Frenchman. (~15 min. later) Oh, I forgot about that, that's another reason I don't like the French, they eat horses.

Dr. Dee Griffin, DVM

In the book of life there's only two women, big ol' good ones and good ol' big ones.

Ice Cube, HipHopper

A virus can be useful to a species by thinning it out.

Dr. Karl Johnson, MD

Be a virus and travel the World! Free of ticket!

Dr. Sanjay Kapil, DVM

Now you can either stand around here eatin' jambalaya or you can come upstairs and eat my ass!

Brian Kinney, QAF Hottie!

I'm a McGriddle away from this being the best morning of my life.

Artie Lang, OCCG (overweight comedian, compulsive gambler)

Our scars have the power to remind us that the past was real.

Dr. Hannibal Lecter, CFB

No amount of genius can overcome a preoccupation with detail.

Marion Levy Jr, PhD

It's better to burp and bear the shame than not to burp and bear the pain.

Grandpa Martin, RIP

Well, I want to try everything in life.

When I gotta poop, I gotta poop.

Heather Rose Martin, CFG (crazy freak girl)

It gets right ugly.

Dr. Patricia A. Payne, DVM

If the present sucks, then look to the future.

I'm just here to be a person.

If you eat your dog, make sure it is well cooked.

Peter Schantz, DVM Division of Parasitic Diseases CDC

Inch by inch life's a cinch, yard by yard life gets hard.

Dr. Steve Swaim, DVM

Think about it. Sometimes people are just destined, destined to do, what they do. And that's what it is. Now everybody dance.

Justin Timberlake, Hottie!

Happy Birthday Naomi! (though you'll probably never see this)

I don't even know if she knows about my weblog. Refresher: I met Naomi 1992 at the University at Buffalo where I was a freshman, she a sophmore and we lived across the hall from each other. The following 2 years we were roommates. She was living in Mass. when I first moved there though she now lives in San Fran. I did go visit her once there. Haven't seen her in several years but I'm planning on a marathon in Oct. in San Fran so I'll get to see her then.

I just wrote this whole post and my internet connection went sour and I lost the post so I'm trying to recreate it. This has happened enough times that you'd think I'd take better care of posts, as robreed says I should do them in a text editor so I can't lose them, but I'm too lazy for that. I know it's a dumb excuse.

SU was on ESPN2 tonite. I shouldn't even mention it because they suck so bad. The announcers were saying they might not even make the Big East tourney let alone the NCAA. I think they even got booed at home in the Carrier Dome, no joke, for real. Poor Jimmy B!

We took care of the wallabies at the zoo today. I took blood from one of the parma wallabies and vaccinated her and I helped hold down the Kings Island wallaby for a bandage change. The parmas are about 7 lbs. and the Kings Island 40 lbs. We didn't use any sedation or anesthesia to change the bandage, just the grab the wallaby and lay on him method. I had the back end and legs. Watch out they're pretty strong and the bandage we were changing was on a hindfoot of course. We got it done though.

My rabbit will go home tomorrow. I'm worried about him though. His owner is going away for a week and having someone watch him but he needs his bandage changed every day and I'm worried it won't get done. You need at least 2 people, 1 to hold and 1 to bandage and if you've never done it before it's not going to be easy. I'm afraid when he comes back for his first recheck, hopefully Monday, it'll look like crap. Well we'll see. We could board him longer but it gets expensive.

Tomorrow I have a rat for a recheck but I forgot to look at the chart because I stayed later to do my discharge instructions for the bunny. I had to leave the exotics ward to go use a computer and printer and when I went back into the ward I almost slipped and fell down because I soon learned that in the kinda short time I was gone, and this being after 5pm, someone had come into the ward and painted the doorway between the two rooms we use including the floor in that doorway area but didn't mark it with a sign or anything so I stepped right in it and it was still wet and then tracked white paint all over the floor as well as leaving a footprint in the new paint. Jerks! Retards! Who does that?

I finally got my period tonite. It was induced by a BK double cheeseburger, onions rings, some big store cookies and plenty of Red Vines licorice: red and black and the most important part, NO running. What a pig? You know how sometimes you just feel really yucky and nasty and fat and gross?? Well don't worry, it couldn't have been you today because it was definitely me!!!!! Perfect way to lose all your marathon buildup in one day. I just feel like giving up completely after running a million miles the last couple months.
