Kris and I have the Weber Q 200 and we LOVE it. We have a balcony and can only use the small propane tanks right now so it's perfect for that, but it also has an available adapter so you can attach those 20 lb tanks if you prefer. It has a really nice cast iron cooking grate and there's ample space for us to cook and it seems to cook really evenly. I totally recommend the Q series!

May 27th!!!

Aww, don't be such a pussy, Dr. B. So the world's a little fuzzy. Have fun with it...do like I do and go play some tennis.

Cora, I know you aren't giving up and that's why you're going to get into vet school. Squeak was so right...perisistance pays off. Enjoy the time away from it because you're life is going to change in such a big way once you get in and then you'll be reminiscing about how you once had free time! Don't be discouraged. It's part of the right of passage. Just do like you're planning...expand your scope a little. Definitely reapply to the first three programs. (they'll consider that to be dedication on your part) You're getting close to your dream and I have NO DOUBT that we'll be reading your acceptance post very, very soon! You're one helluva chick, they'll realize that, too! And, seriously, make sure you enjoy some free time. Sleep, eat well, exercise, do what you love, get more experience in your chosen field and you'll do great!

Kel, I'm sorry to hear about the rejection, but I agree with the advice of the others who have said to keep fighting if it is your dream to do nursing. It sucks to get turned down, but as I'm learning in my residency applications (seven rejections so far...and I'm sure there are more to come) it happens. But screw them. Just keep trying until you find the place that recognizes you for the valuable individual you are and is a good fit for you! Don't let this one program get you down, k?

Thanks to everyone for the info on Detroit!!

So I'm right in the midst of (grueling and long) interviews for a residency position in ob/gyn. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I'll get something close to home, but it looks like Detroit might be a very real possibility. It certainly isn't my first choice of locale, but I did like the program they have there. Can anyone give me some first-hand info on the area to help make some decisions a little easier for me? Thanks!

Get a gyn consult, STAT...this patient has a vagina! Take me, I am the drug; take me, I am hallucinogenic. -Salvador Dali

Hmmm...I suck, too. Kris never seems to complain... But, then again, I'm still seven months from becoming a real doctor so maybe I don't have enough sucking experience to qualify for this thread. Take me, I am the drug; take me, I am hallucinogenic. -Salvador Dali

[beavis & butthead style]Heh...heh...heh[/beavis & butthead style] You said that you're a dick...on a thread that asks about getting wood...now that's funny! Take me, I am the drug; take me, I am hallucinogenic. -Salvador Dali

You mean when all those people pulled over in shock and awe at my kung-fu? Take me, I am the drug; take me, I am hallucinogenic. -Salvador Dali

I got a few stares while driving home from work today. I think it's because everyone is jealous of my mad driving skillz. Heh, suckers, don't hate the player. Take me, I am the drug; take me, I am hallucinogenic. -Salvador Dali

Or face suturer of the masses. Whatever the case may be. When do I start getting paid for this stuff? Take me, I am the drug; take me, I am hallucinogenic. -Salvador Dali

Heh. Apparently your invite to Kris and me has gotten lost in the mail. No worries. We know it was unintentional and you're forgiven. So we'll be there, count us in! (Now where is it that you live and what time should we bring the beer?) Take me, I am the drug; take me, I am hallucinogenic. -Salvador Dali
