Aye...it can get so much better.

True that.
And on that note, we are getting sunshine and 34 F temps by 2 pm. Can't wait to get out. Few patients to see this am and then I am off.

I have and a friend in Florida actually offered me a place to stay for awhile ironically. It wasn't iJen either, but I did txt her the last few days. She seems to be doing well, and offered to drive up here and stab someone for me. :)
Pics of what? No way I am posting pics of the personal trainer. I do realize the problem with drinking rum at 8am. However, it seems to be doing the trick now. No problem, and Merry Christmas to you as well.

surgeons have to work on saturday? It's a hard life.

you are going to be embarrassed. Google would have been quicker

i only like rum when it is with coke. real full fat coke, not the diet stuff. Funnily enough, I prefer drinking the diet coke. But I don't drink either anymore, if I have a choice.

I have some Pepsi throwback I could mix it with, however I don't need any caffeine in my system. Only slept 3hrs last night as it is.

Not to mention it waters down the blood in my alcohol system.

I really liked how she was able to skip over meaningless crap and would go straight to the final page.

at the risk of opening a can of worms, what happened to iJen? (in 200 words or less)

She entered a full iron man, she claimed she completed said ironman, posted pictures of herself with the finishers medal, evidence came up that she cut part of the course, she denied it, people in charge of timing confirmed that she cut the course, she left.

Don't you have some male friends you can go out with? A night with the guys seems in order here.

The more I read Herbie, the more I appreciate his sense of humor/outlook. I think the IQ of Texas will easily double, once he arrives.

At the risk of putting Christmas on the back-burner for about 5 hours, I finally get to go ride my bike outside today. It will be glorious.

Actually, after 25 years of Surgery, I gave it up 3 years ago and devote myself to wound care only. I love it, no call, weekends off, and most importantly, being able to enjoy my family and time off without being distracted by and thinking of dying and problem patients. As a surgeon, you are really never free, your mind is always obcessing about your work. I was always a distracted father, a distracted husband, never really appreciating the moment. Now I have peace. I am working a little today because of the holidays.

Roads clear?

at a wedding, i shared a table with a colon surgeon, whatever they are called. We just called him Ass doctor. He told us about the most amazing things he had to remove from people's asses in ER.

lol

In other words, a really uncomfortable situation.

Some side streets need care taken, but overall, the roads are fine. Sunny, 35 right now, with a high of 55.

Yep.

Don't get me started, old spice jars, light bulbs (whole), light bulb's (broken), 3 pound salami ( real salami, not the human counterpart), cucumbers, assorted bottles, shampoo container, and the grand daddy of all, a metal 12 inch tent peg. What is even more comical are the excuses ( I was washing my butt in the shower and fell on it. The best was an evangelical preacher with the salami however some things are best not printed.

I remember going to a block party once and this old patient of mine came up and said, loudly and in company, " Doc, you probably don't remember me but you made me a perfect ass hole. Turns out I had done his hemorrhoid surgery some time ago.

What was funny was that I could diagnose the problem and what kind of jar was used in the case of the Old Spice bottle. In his pelvic xray you could clearly see the little old spice ship, the lettering used at that time was radio opaque and lit up quite clearly on the xray, a little ship sailing across a sea of darkness.

Funny how in every case, and there were many, the sex was male. I am not sure I like the implication but there it is.

Pictures or it didn't happen. :o
