Under Damn! Yikes! category.

Niece just moved to Fort Wayne. Been in their new house in a nice neighborhood for one week. They thought they heard a transformer or something explode at 5:30 a.m. Nope, SWAT team flash bombing their neighbors house. :eek:

Drug house, Swatted, or hostage/domestic violence problem?

1a) Wrong-ish town, 1b) Don't live there anymore
2) When did I get my PhD?



I swear I have relation on my dad's side somewhere here in Iowa, but I think I have to take a turn off the direct branch of relation of the family tree.

My 4x great-grandfather is buried in Madelia, Minnesota...just found that out.

Edit: Also, my 10x great grandfather wasn't on the Mayflower, but he was in Plymouth Colony by 1633.

Findagrave.com is a pretty cool site.
I don't think anybody thought you got a PhD. We all assumed it was an MD.

I would have told a woman that. Keep in mind though, most of the time when I was checking out a woman, it was because I wanted to be her, not do her.

I think I've complimented a male coworker on his sweater before. Cause it was the same as DH's A guy commenting on your boots.......we have a couple more cosmopolitan guys at work who would do that but in general I'd lean toward gay. Or maybe the very politest attempt to hit on you!
I've spent way too much time contemplating this so here is my answer based upon my experience.

I think most guys find those boots that go pretty high up the calf to be attractive. I wouldn't have done it myself to hit on a women (because I know it would come out awkward in multiple ways) but I could definitely see other guys mentioning it for that purpose. Just my two cents, for what it's worth.

So.............you are saying maybe or maybe not

Onboarding with ISU. Workday has been pretty simple for me.
Obviously, I'm a next-level genius, but it seems all right.
Just stop. ;) And wait until you need to hire a student. Who's working two different jobs with different supervisors at different rates of pay coming from different accounts. Oops. I meant different worktags.

Ah, the sweet relief of no longer having to deal with bureaucracy and the "newest, bestest global one-size-fits-some" programs. ;)

I love the Amazon. Need stuff to maintain vintage Toro two-stroke snowchucker. Of course the spark plug is 3/4" not the standard 13/16" so my plug socket is fractionally too big. And, double of course, I cannot find my feeler gauge. Was thinking running around to hardware store etc but a couple clicks on the interweb and they will be here tomorrow. Probably in a yuge box though cause that's how Amazon rolls. :oops:

Had last doc appt with specialist I first saw in 1982, so yeah, he's retiring. That's a long time. Remembered details of my surgery from 1988 without looking at my charts. Going to be handed off to someone else but will likely be seeing a PA or NP before I talk to the big shot docs as easily as I have with him. He was more old school, direct and hands on kinda guy who really didn't use the PA/NP option much. Guess my single appts will turn into two all of the time "Well, you'll have to follow up with Dr. X" :(



Note: I like the PA/NP for family doctor general stuff, not so much when they are working in a specialist field.
