Good point. But right now the bottom is filled with water, and I'm sure it's going to start stinking if I just pretend it isn't there, which is what I'd like to do.

oh, that's probably just a clogged drain then. Do you have a plunger?

You sent it to me. My dishwasher just broke. it's twenty years old, and I rarely use it, but still......I don't feel like dealing with it right now.

Sorry Vicki.

Played baseball in the backyard with the Little Monkey today. Had him shagging flies and even pitching to me, which he can actually do now. It feels good to whack a tennis ball about a half mile into the woods. Even if the ball is being grooved in by a 6-year-old.

I am amazed at his progress. He can hit, throw, and catch much better than all but one of his friends. He's a determined little guy.

Having a son is good.

Nice! That must be fun.

submitted my application to med schools last night. mcat on the 17th. then things will be out of my hands and in the admission committees.

thanks to brent for looking over my personal statement last night. i would love more input so if you would like to give it a quick read and offer suggestions to polish it please let me know and i will send it your way. it is maybe 750 words so not a terribly long read.

Good luck, CJ! I'd be happy to take a look. Just PM me.

Yeah, good luck, CJ.

Good luck, CJ.

Spent all day yesterday with yet another muscle spasm in my neck/shoulder. Took some meds for it at the end of the day and it knocked me out cold in couple of hours. At least I got a good night sleep for the first time in weeks.

Today, I get to schedule for my exit interview.

Good luck CJ. Not sure I can be of much assistance on a US application form, but if you think I can help, just PM me.

Good luck with the applications CJ.

Good luck!

I would say good luck CJ but that might jinx you.

Sorry about the neck/shoulder spasms Haj.

Sorry about the neck/shoulder spasms Haj.

At least it's a lot better today. I'm just hoping that it's not a sign that this will be a recurring thing.

Just finished replacing the kitchen faucet's pull-out hose. The whole process was surprisingly easy.

Thanks guys. And shelly

PM's heading out after a few last minute edits.

Here's to success CJ. Optimism is good.

Haj, hope you feel better and heal.

Me? Had a procedure - cooled thermal therapy. Procedure to shrink my prostrate so that hopefully I won't be up twice an hour all night long. Catheters suck! I'm on rest for the balance of today and restricted physical activity the rest of the week. Get to pull the catheter out my self on Friday, oh joy.

Now to wait for six to eight weeks to see if helps. I'm thinking almost any improvement is worth celebrating.

^^ Hope the process works!

Belated good luck to CJ, belated feel better - or glad you're feeling better - to Haj.

I played the good hubby the last few, and have picked up 4 gifts, 3 cards, one REALLY nice flower arrangement, and dinner reservations at a place near the water for my wife's birthday tomorrow....

Ew. Good luck, Al!

Yeezh, man. Sympathies.

Yeezh, man. Sympathies.

This. Hang in there.

Ouch Al! Hope you feel better soon.

went shooting for the first time in ages. Was a lot of fun.

^^ Hope the process works!

You da man! Congrats onbeing such a good spouse! Toasting your prostate for a better outcome Al.

Dan, what did you shoot? I love Kimber 45s.

Sorry Al.

I brought my S&W 629 (.44mag, 4" barrel), H&K Tactical .45, and Colt Combat Commander. My friend who I went shooting with brought his Beretta P92.

I used to have a couple of kimbers, but I gave one to my father in law, and then my other one was stolen from my car in alaska.

H&K .45 was number 2 on my short list, but other obsessions hobbies have since won out.

yah, my gun obsession was a decade ago. I found out today I still remember how to shoot. Or at least my hands do. I helped my friend improve from "on the man sized target" to "pie plate sized group" in 30 minutes of shooting (at 10 yards)
