here's me in college~! Yikes! My Grandma sent me a huge envelope full of old photos!

V- Whose the guy? That doesn't look like John2? Or John1 for that matter.

I haven't been on since page 280 or so. I thought I could keep up, who was I kidding.

Trouble is you can miss something in all those pages. I just have to speed read through to make sure, but in the process miss loads of the chat too.

Being near relatives was a very good idea. I remember when National was one of the only Naturopathic Schools around. My dream at one time, back in the early 70's, was to be able to start a Wholistic Medical Clinic, staffed by practitioners of all of the Schools of Medical Science. I think there are some of those around now. Drugs are 'way' overused nowadays. (Just my humble opinion). Every method has its value, and using the right approach to a problem would improve Medicine greatly. The first Chiropractor I ever went to asked me why I was there, since I was a Pharmacist. I was a little puzzled by the question, but told him, "Because it works". He had solved my DD's Scoliosis problem very easily, and that made me a believer. The Ortho Doc said it would require a year in a body cast and about 10,000 dollars. YIKES. This was in the mid 80's. Our Chiropractor fixed her in about 10 visits. The California Schools, fortunately, screen all Jr. High kids for this problem, and reported it to us. An acupuncturist was the only provider to fix my Dad's Cancer pain. Worked better than all of those Fentanyl Patches. And, I have used homeopathics with amazing results.

I have done compounding, but that is rare nowadays in a traditional setting. I used to LOVE that part of Pharmacy, and I miss it. In the Community Pharmacies that I fill in for, there is no longer any time for Cmpounding, except for easy, common items, so most things are contracted out to Pharmacies like my "boss's". His Pharmacy is in Corvallis,
and I rarely get down there to the office.


I know which T3 you are referring to. Those prescriptions are rare for us, and usually outsourced. When we do receive a prescription for T3, some Techs have mistaken it for Tylenol 3, so we have to be vey careful. triiodothyronine, written out, would be a better way to write, but it takes too long.

DrHug, I have had meds compounded a lot for me and for DD when she was really sick, before we fixed the house. Our pharmacy does it, but I had no idea that it was not widely done. Is is a time/money thing?

Ooooh!! I LOVE the music to that show. The show was great ... but I LOVE the music. The kids and I just saw it in January

(perhaps not-so) Interesting "Wicked" facts about Karen ...

#1 Some of my fondest memories (100% relaxation) of our Nov/Dec MAGICal cruise was spending hours on Deck 4 listening to Wicked and sipping iced tea (or Bahama Mamas) and watching the waves go by. My mantra each midday was "find me on Deck 4".

#2 The soundtrack is what I am currently listening to as my "workout" music.:
-The Wizard and I ... when Elfaba dreams of bring respected
-Defying Gravity ... when Elfaba makes an important (internal) decision
-For Good ... conclusion (don't want to give anything away)
Each song is @ 5 minutes (which is about what it takes me to walk 1/4 mile and burn 30 calories ... or so my treadmill says!!). I listen to each twice and then move on to Thank Goodness and Popular and Loathing (Glinda's songs) and then finish up with one from the start ... voila 2+ miles walked / 250+ calories burned. I am doing this twice a day minimum (all I can fit in most weekdays/schooldays). BUT last night my entire family was asleep by 10pm, so I walked 5.5 miles. The dog just stared at me the entire time (she probably thinks I am crazy).

Okay ... way more than you cared to know about me and Wicked.


Happy Sunday ... time to catch up on all your posts!!


Karen

I don't mean to scare you all, but I am a Wicked crazed person. I loved it! I have seen it 3 times ON BROADWAY. How silly am I? Seriously, like there is nothing else to see?

Isn't that the truth. I'll see something that someone has responded to and then have to go back and see where I missed it. Then I lose my place again.

 

[kimerinc]

I may be able to get Wicked tickets for you guys at 50% off. The current code I have runs thru end of February. If anyone is interested, I will look into it for you.


Karen

OK, send me the code, quick!

Love turbo Tax - less than 90 minutes start to e-filed. Received our confirmations this morning that both State and Federal were accpeted.

Got my W2 in the mail yesterday, so I'll be Turbo Taxing next weekend. I've done it for the past two years and love it. (It helps to lead a very simple financial life too.)

One highlight of the experience was being able to monitor drug therapy in the neonatal unit. At that time, the world's smallest preemie was there (12 ounces at 26 weeks gestation). Baby Boy Williams. I got to hold him in my hand. Wow. The Nurses nicknamed him the Peanut. He literally fit in my hand. AND , he made it. YES !! I saw his pic in the paper. At 2 y/o, and he was back to WNL for size/weight.

Whoops. Sorry to ramble. I was caught up in the Memories. &

That's amazing!

That's darling!

That's so sweet!

Well, the sun is gone again, and my patch of sky is looking a bit nasty...hope it stays dry so everyone can drive home safely after the game.

well, we officially have a room assignment, at least it's finally on the DU site. 6313, has anybody else had that room? it's on that strange half hallway all the way forward on deck 6, an inside inside state room!

 

[lillygator]

nope - his name is TODD....and a JERK, he is a very valued engineer in Atlanta though.

it's funny-- we were looking at pics (I had to take a pic since my scanner doesn't work).....

anyway, when I first moved here...Todd showed up one day asking me if this is what I wanted, um yes!

 

[seaulater]

being Jamie's mom makes you a star too. It would be cool if you brought pics of her for the little girlies.

I'm definitely a planner, behind the scenes kinda person. But I'll be glad to bring some pics of Jamie with me. I have a bunch from HSM and from the 2002 Winter Olympics so I'll put some of those together.

Right now DCL site says we have no ressie - wonder what's up? Maybe I'll get a room!

I know locally we had some issues with a pharmacy and compounding...I think there might be a liability cost to it as well. We use some compound drugs at our surgery center. Below is the incident I'm referring to - it was big news in our healthcare area since it hit so close to home (the hospital is where my Dad practiced at for many year).

Does she go to East High?

No she goes to Cottonwood High School. The first one was filmed at both East High School and at Murray High School in Salt Lake. The second one was filmed at East High School (just the beginning) and the rest was in St. George, Utah. The third one, according to the Utah Film Commission will be filmed at East High School, Murray High School and then at an outdoor garden of some type up in Ogden, Utah (one hour north of Salt Lake). They will be doing lots of filming on weekends and at nights since school is still in session through the 1st week of June.

No ressie? I would be freaking out.

My favorite is Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat with Donny Osmond as Joseph. I've seen that about 80 times at least. (That is only because I worked on the production with Donny and saw it from backstage every night for 8 weeks, or maybe it was 10?) Anyway, that's my favorite.

I am also hooked on Wicked right now. Love the music. After seeing the play, it makes me think of The Wizard of Oz in a whole different light!

It's back with no room.
