Scientist finds fossilized claw of man-sized sea scorpion: "We have known for some time that the fossil record yields monster millipedes, super-sized scorpions, colossal cockroaches, and jumbo dragonflies. But we never realized until now just how big some of these ancient creepy-crawlies were." The rest of the story, sadly without a photo of the actual fossil. | | Thursday, September 13th, 2007 | | 2:25 pm |
Yoinked from urbpan. 1. Go to Career Cruising, www.careercruising.com 2. Put in Username: nycareers and Password: landmark. 3. Take their "Career Matchmaker" questions. 4. Post the top twenty results 5. Put the careers you have seriously considered in bold 1. Licensed Practical Nurse2. Chiropractor 3. Addictions Counselor 4. Nurse Practitioner5. Dentist 6. Recreation Therapist 7. Orthodontist 8. Dental Hygienist 9. Acupuncturist 10. Nurse 11. Veterinarian 12. Gerontologist 13. Veterinary Technician 14. Housekeeper 15. Zoologist 16. Physical Therapist 17. Dental Assistant 18. Respiratory Therapist 19. Esthetician 20. Radiation Therapist The actual list goes up to forty and I'm surprised that Massage Therapist isn't even on there. It's funny because they aaaaaalmost got it right. Even though there are similarities and overlap between what I do and Chiropractic and Physical Therapy, they approach the musculoskeletal system differently enough that they don't appeal to me which I why I didn't bold them. I don't think I could actually be a vet or a vet tech because I can't stand to see an animal in pain. People? Fine. You can talk to people and tell them you are trying to help them, animals are tougher. Also it would speed me on my way towards Lady With Too Many Cats and I'm saving that for my later years. Also: One of those things is not like the others. | | Thursday, August 10th, 2006 | | 4:07 pm |

meme needs I caught this from Cottonmanifesto: Search for "Your name needs" in Google and post the first five results. Barb needs to decide if she will resume Dave’s position by next board meeting (how long has Dave been holding that position? is it comfortable?) Barb needs artists. (well, she does like them an awful lot) Barb needs to write comic books Barb needs the money and information to enter into computer. Barb needs to be fed a variety of foods including vegetables as well as meaty foods. | | Wednesday, September 28th, 2005 | | 1:23 pm |
Friday! Serenity!! When you see this on your Friends List, quote Firefly. from CottonmanifestoMal: Kaylee, what the hell's going on in the engine room? Were there monkeys? Some terrifying space monkeys maybe got loose? | | Thursday, September 15th, 2005 | | 1:59 pm |
pain in the butt
*Sigh*
I've always been fond of spiders. I'll catch and release whenever I find one in the house, and respect their webs no matter where they are. I've pulled over and found a bush to place one in when it was in my car, and gotten them out of high traffic areas if I thought they'd be trampled. Well, I do these things with all kinds of buggy creatures (except ants. I squash ants. I admit it.)
But I have a particular soft spot for spiders.
One of them took that literally while I was sleeping the night before last, because I woke up with a bite. On my butt. I went to the doctor this morning who gave me antibiotics and told me to apply a hot compress so the infection will come to the surface. It was too deep to lance, about which I feel slightly relieved, since I don't like the sound of that. Also? I got painkillers. Helloooo Vicadin.
We don't know for sure it was a spider, but I haven't really seen anyone else bitey around the house.
