enjoy this info...i do remember a BIG baseball semi final playoff game on TV the night mom went into labor with you. Dad was like, "now? we need to leave now?". The team he was going for didn't make the world series playoffs i think. they started losing after they left for the hospital.

thank you for being born and being an awesome brother. You're an amazing man - and have so much potential. can't wait to see what adventures you have waiting for you.

have a happy birthday! I love you so much buddy!

Chocolate Mayo!

Ingredients

1 egg white
2 oz chocolate
2 tsp of water per T of chocolate

Preparation

Step 1: Melt the chocolate and thin with the water.

Step 2: Whip the egg white and slowly drizzle the melted chocolate in and continue to whip for 5-10 minutes, stopping when the egg, chocolate, water mixture become a light cream.

Cook’s Note: If you cook this mixture in the microwave for 60 seconds on high, it will become a flourless, chocolate cake!

Obama done ticked me off son

So...I guess I'm officially pissed at the White House. Change is coming...my ass. Same old pass over, push off, priority listing bullcrap.

A gay president in 2068!

Mercy College

So in addition to talking to my advisior tomorrow, I am 80% possitive that I will complete and send in my transfer transcript and my application to Mercy College. Owens lost their NLNAC accredidation and therefore I cannot take my boards from Owens so there will be no point in continuing clinicals at Owens since those clinical hours don't transfer.
I just wanted to post this and get some feed back from you all. I will finish this semester up and spring at Owens and then hopefully save enough money to actually be able to attend Mercy since it is 3x more expense than Owens for one semester...yikes.
I am choosing Mercy because they do have a really strong program and I think I will benefit from it. I just have to stay ontop of my studies which won't be too hard. BGSU has a program but I have heard nothing but bad about it and all the classes and clinic lab hours are completed at MCO, so since I will be in Toledo anyways, Mercy seems better. Plus its connected to the hospital so I am pretty sure the clinicals are done right there in that hospital instead of having to be sent to a random one in the area (like owens has set up...)
I'll post more about what I find out from my advisior and his boss when I get a chance. I felt like this was a big deal and thought I would inform you all about it..

Angry...commercial #1

Wow...I just saw the...ok, not going to judge. I just saw a commercial which made me whince.

"Washington, if you tax juice and soda, you're making it harder for me to feed my family."

YOU AND YOU'RE FAMILY ARE NOT DEPENDENT UPON SODA OR JUICE!

1. Soda is bad for you. If you don't want to pay the tax, don't buy it.

2. Packaged juice is bad for you. Buy fruit and make your own.

I'm sorry your fat kids and yourself need excess sugar to live. It sucks that the government is trying to snipe you.

AUGH!

Gut Worms May Protect Against Allergies

Here you go nate, try the hookworm instead of Claritin!

"

British and Vietnamese scientists say they’ve discovered parasitic gut worms, such as hookworms, might help prevent and treat asthma and other allergies.

Researchers led by Dr. Carsten Flohr of the University of Nottingham, and Dr. Luc Nguyen Tuyen of the Khanh Hoa Provincial Health Service in central Vietnam said their study is the largest double-blind, placebo controlled clinical trial to date looking at potential links between hookworm and other gut worm infections and allergic conditions such as asthma and eczema.

The research was conducted in a rural area of central Vietnam where two of every three children have hookworm and other gut parasite infections and where allergies are extremely rare. More than 1,500 schoolchildren ages 6-17 took part in the clinical trial.

The team investigated whether repeated tablet treatments to clear the body of gut worms made it more likely for children to develop allergic conditions. While the treatment did not demonstrate an effect on asthma or eczema, the treated children had a significantly increased risk of having a positive allergy skin test to house-dust mites and cockroaches.

That, the scientists said, suggests gut worms have the potential to tone down human immune responses.

“The next step is to understand exactly how and when gut parasites program the human immune system in a way that protects against allergic sensitization, and for such studies, follow-up from birth will be essential,” Flohr said."
