I'm glad the procedure went well, Stacy! :cabbage:
Thanks guys - I know, I wish I could know TODAY!
I know, dude. Making you wait is unnecessary. They should just call you in the little office right there and tell you.
Yay for a little wiggler!
Keeping fingers crossed for you!Quote:

Sarah, good luck on your job interview! Yay for your DH winning first place! I'm sorry you can't take the course you want online. I hope there's other ones you can take that you're interested in.
Today I got an e-mail from UTA giving me my netID. I'm pretty sure they just give that to any student who applies, but it freaked me out, and then I realized they wouldn't send me an admissions letter in an e-mail :laugh:
I actually understand why they do it - they have to grow the little cells, then they do a full karyotyping of the genes. It takes some time. But it's still ANNOYING. :pokey:Quote:

I just lost ALL the homework I did this morning...
Oh no! :ohno: Was it on your computer or something?Quote:

Thanks Lauren. I'm totally bummed, but all is not lost. I can do 60 credits in general science starting in October, and possibly count that as a minor if I go on to do psychology degree later.
I hope everything works out with your studies too!
ETA: Don't you have an admissions interview tomorrow?
Thanks, Sarah. Doing the general science might help you, especially if you can try and apply what you've learned into something with the brain. Might make learning it all more interesting too :)
yes! I haven't gotten a word processing program yet, and so I am just doing it all in my email, then accessing my email from my moms computer to print it... Well I SWEAR before I showered I saved it all as a draft (it wasn't finished, so I didn't actually send it yet) so when I logged in after I was showered to finish it, it wasn't there....Quote:

Maybe we'll have thai food anyway.
When in doubt, do take out! :laugh:Quote:

I hope this week is the fastest week in your life. Ever.
Beans don't get soft after soaking, only after soaking AND cooking. Make sure not to add salt until after they're cooked or they never fully soften, either. And by the way, if you're in a rush you don't really have to soak 'em. I sometimes cook them without soaking if I'm in a hurry and they turn out fine, just take a bit longer.
Midgend, the results take 7-10 business days and the nurse said she's pretty sure I'll get the results by next Friday.
She said "just in time for Easter!" all excited like. All I could think was :eyeroll: like I give a rip about THAT...
Thanks, I know, it's sucky, but I'm glad to have just gotten past this morning. I have this never-ending fear with early ultrasounds that the fetus will be dead (sorry for my bluntness) because no matter HOW emotionally healthy you are after a stillbirth and three miscarriages, you still carry the trauma of finding out there's no heartbeat. Those moments will stick with me forever and I just HATE the suspense right before you see the little bugger dancing around in there.
So, it's all good. To semi-quote Eckhart Tolle, "RIGHT NOW, everything is perfectly fine." I'm not thinking about next week until it's here.
I confess Josh is down for a rare nap and I am watching Tony n Tina's Wedding. It's terrible, but Joey from NKOTB is in it, and that is worth. it. *swoon*
:ohno:I want good thai food... I miss my "LemonGrass" in FairbanksQuote:

Thai food - learn to make your own. It's what I had to do in Montana. My thai food rivals any good restaurant now. :P
Jennifer - it takes a lot of relearning and practice. I'm a big time planner, but worrying is nothing but suffering, and suffering is unnecessary. There's enough in life that will be painful and hard and terrible to add unnecessary suffering into the mix, too.
I've actually been thinking about Indian food lately. I want to make some.

So my college doesn't do admissions interviews. I'm trying so hard not to see everything glass half full, but d@mn it, I can't help it. Nothing right now is going right, and I'm unbelievably frustrated.
:truce:
I'm trying, but its not often that I get to (my dads not a fan.. he's a steak and potato kinda guy) but I'm persistent and will do itQuote:

I just wanted to give my big bro a heads up. Everything turned out great with all that. My big brother was very open and loving about it and I think some walls were torn down and my mom was really happy to see her two boys getting it all out in the open.
Now my brother is asking me for advice on how to talk to his kids (6 and 8) about it because he says it's not a subject that has come up in their house. Plus the kids go to Catholic school so they'll likely be told that uncle is going to hell. :ohno:
I don't know what advice to give him. Because I'd like to say, find a new school/church but I know that's not what he's looking for.
Should I ask in the Christian room?
I would say he should talk to them about it, and tell them that no matter what, your brother is still their Uncle, whether he's gay or straight, and he's still the same person, normal just like everyone else. I would try and make it clear that God should be left out of it, but honestly, that's coming from someone who was raised Catholic but is now agnostic and couldn't give a flying fig if someone was gay or straight or anything else.Quote:

ETA: I also wanted to add that I respect your older brother for accepting his sibling despite his beliefs.
:hooray: Congrats to him!Quote:
