Dear PubMed:
I just want one (1) reasonable peer-reviewed article on the toxic effects of aminoglycosides, and how to Dx, if such a thing is possible.
Plz to be stop giving me articles on diabetes mellitus. No really. It's getting annoying.
Cautious love,
Me

Dear Toxicology Prof:
Could this history be more vague? Srsly. It's basically 'cat is lethargic. Cat is more lethargic. Cat continues to get more lethargic OH NOES! Oh, it's drinking and urinating a lot too. And there may have been an injection of some sort in the last three visits.' At least tell me what it originally presented to the rDVM for to get 'gastritis' off of a lethargic cat! Also, what does a high-rise have to do with anything? Falling does not cause acute renal failure. Or gastritis. Really.
*facepalm*
Thanks so much for the complete lack o'history,
Me

*siiiigh*

Also, a dilemma:
One of the big food companies on campus is putting on a free dinner in Old Sac at the end of next month. I need to sign up by Friday, though. It's a cool murder/mystery/theater thing, which sounds awesome. And? Free good dinner, on the Delta King no less. Haven't been there since I graduated undergrad.
Downside: It's on a Friday night, at 6pm. That's cutting it pretty dang close for tango at 8 (or 9, if I just go to the advanced tango).
So. Free food and murder/mystery fun? Or tango?

Gee, Bob. Way to show you're in it only to win it. Only taking the predominately male/big number teams? Not so charming. I felt sorry for Jillian - she looked whipped and miserable when the challenge was over. I think she really liked being able to train everyone equally.
But since (new)Black lost (WAUGH, that was traumatic) I think the right person was voted off. The previous yellow team (now I have to learn names oh no) have historically been pulling huge numbers, and the purple girls cheated bigtime last week - that's why they nailed huge numbers this week.
So did orange team, so I made faces at the son's glee at 'lookit my big numbers I so awesome'. No you're not. That's two weeks accumulation, idjut. I hope someone points that out, on-camera. That privilege should be a (former)black team member's.
I am glad no one fell for the temptation this week. Soda is uberbad. I loved Jillian's reaction to the temptation though. "Soda? Who cares about soda?" *giggles*

Actually, I kind of wish they'd had a vat of CORN SYRUP instead of the giant tub of sugar, because that's what's actually in the soda.

And I'll tell you, before my allergy, I would've been WAY MORE TURNED OFF by a huge gross vat of globular liquid than the thing of sugar.

Amen! It... oozes. Gloopily. I actually found an article last week by some idiot claiming high-fructose corn syrup isn't any more fattening than regular sugar.

I wanted to reach through the internets and smack him silly.

How can people even believe that any more? That drives me nuts. BLECH. I mean, not that refined sugar is GOOD for you by any way shape or form, but HFCS is SO bad for you that...

ugh.

It makes me glad I'm allergic to it. (most days.)

Yeah, it's scarybad stuff. It's so bad veterinary professors in pathology, toxicology, bacteriology (he's a special case) and nutrition take time out of their lectures to rant about it. At length. I've gotten more lectures about HFCS in vet school than I have anywhere else.

That, and the soda tastes better with sugar. Real coca-cola? The stuff with sugar? SO MUCH BETTER. Still not healthy, but. Tastes awesome.

Exactly. It's hard to find it sometimes, but more and more soda companies are moving back towards that THANK GOODNESS. Not that I'm aiming to increase my soda intake, but it makes me happier for the general wellness of the nation. But just listening to the son (so bad with names) talking about how much soda he drank before made me want to puke.

I know! Twenty 32oz glasses in one night? How did he not rupture his stomach? Or send himself into a sugar coma? I'm not sure you can pump that much into a horse at one time.

The worst thing about that HFCS article? It was on MSN Health and Fitness. You know, the group allied with Biggest Loser this season. *facepalm*

That's so. . . . special. *facepalms at MSN*

(also, S and I are debating sending in an application for the next couples season. save us.)

BWAH. I will cheer for you SO MUCH if you get on. That'd be awesome.

Heee.

Is it bad that I worry that I wouldn't because I've lost too much weight now? BAH.

*snork* That's tragic, that is. Too skinny to need Jillian screaming at you across the gym.

Heee.

She's actually my favorite of the trainers anymore. Which I never would've thought when I started watching the show. But, yeah. I'm under 200 now, and though I could do to lose another 50+ pounds, my goal weight is only (! har.) another 31 or so pounds away. Knock on wood.

Go you! That's pretty awesome.

>.> I'll admit my first sight of Jillian was on that bike last season, so.

Um.

I started with her as my favorite. She was just so much more kick-ass than the other two.

36 pounds down, 3something left. \o/ (depends on what scale you're looking at. >.>)

Well, I didn't see the first few seasons, only started watching it recently. And I like Kim as a person, but I think that, for her job, Jillian definitely kicks the most ass. It helped, too, that a while ago I saw some marathon of Biggest Loser Australia, and it showed her being... still stern, but not quite the Bitchy persona that the American TV edit seems to give her.

She strikes me as less bitchy post-edit this season than last season. I think last year they were pushing the 'underdog/evil trainer' thing. If anything, they're trying to push Bob as the crazier one this season.

Sadly, I do not miss Kim. She... annoys me. Rather. Too... perky.

*nods* Oh, it definitely had a LOT to do with the editing. (says the person who gets pissed off at fox's editing of gordon ramsay.) But, yeah, they're definitely playing up Bob's ... evil-ness? or something. I wonder partially if it's because of the fact that only black team members made it to the final last season? (I also wonder partially b/c of that if the picking of teams last night was rigged.) But Kim... yeah. I don't know. I liked her because she reminds me of me, but on the other hand, I wouldn't be the person I'd want to be on tv, training people.

HAHAHA SO RIGGED. And he comes up with worse bullshit reasons as to why he's picking teams than folk do at elimination.
"I get a special feeling every time I work out one on one with this team..." Yeah. Because they put up huge numbers repeatedly. *eyeroll*

I miss the BBC's editing of Kitchen Nightmares. But more, I miss KN. Dear Fox, where has my cranky chef gone?

Gone to hiatus so that he can fill time this spring when the writers still haven't come back? My guess, anyway...

Yeah, I was just like, whatever. >.<

Heh. We might go to the in-person auditions. WHO KNOWS. *tries to think of ways to drama up myself to get on tv*

Don't do what one contestant did - marched in place for hours lifting her knees as high as possible. Her knees were trashed for the first couple weeks of the show.

...

She did get on though.

YIKES.

See, my thing is I have problems with my knees to start with. I think that's bad. But then I wonder if my allergies would be GOOD -- because I can argue that I need help figuring out food stuff around not being able to eat most processed foods.

Probably! They seem to like that sort of thing.

Just, if you do get on, don't salt load. I go grr at teams that salt load.

God, that drives me NUTS. I was so mad at Neil when he water loaded, too. So mad.

Especially since if Orange team hadn't done that last time, they probably could have beat out Black, and the game would be much different.

La.

I know. >.< rawr.

that's the one reason I would probably be out soon on a show like that -- I have too many morals.
