I started Infinite Jest about 2 months ago, got about 75 pages into it, and then decided to take a new job and move...I think I need to start over once I get settled back down again. It definitely requires attentive reading (and reading the subtitles!) or you'll miss something.

I picked up a little campaign desk at the Junior League Rummage Sale for $15 this spring! I'm still trying to decide what color I want to paint it - I'm thinking maybe a turquoise or mint.

I was stopped at a light in Wilmington a few years ago when this big scary looking dude got out of his car, walked around to the driver's side window of the car in the next lane and started screaming at the driver and banging on the glass. I really thought he was about to pull out a gun...kind...

Working in the ER can be somewhat close to "the trenches" sometimes. I was talking to one of the MDs who I work with the other day - she said that when she was training in Philly, some of the attending ER docs would wear bulletproof vests to work... I think the best advice I've heard to...

HES and biology double major

Ha, you caught me before the edit...darn Tapatalk.

Pretty sure it's snowed more in Greensboro than Winston. I left at 8 and it took me an hour and a half to get home from GSO when it normally only takes 35 mins. Wendover was a mess...and the moron drivers were out in full force.

I don't think so - I think the voucher said it was a "gift subscription" but I had no problem getting my first issue, and it says my subscription is scheduled to end at the correct time in 2013.

I got a voucher for a year's subscription from a seller on ebay for $30. They mailed me the voucher, I filled out my info and mailed it in and I got my first issue fairly quickly. I think it was this listing...

We have been seeing a ton of flu like illness in the ER over the past 2 weeks (we don't typically do the lab test to prove you have flu though). I think it may be a bad season this year.

Speaking of expensive Christmas stockings, I get Neiman Marcus catalogs for some reason. They had a "holiday fantasy" catalog that featured all this ridiculously expensive stuff including these stockings...$600 apiece...

My mom works for the state of NC - I don't think she's gotten a raise in like 5 years. Instead, she just gets more vacation hours. She does have a pretty good retirement plan, at least (that she's grandfathered into), but I think she's pretty excited to retire soon.

I got a great deal on some brown harness style Fryes on ebay a couple years ago - I think I only paid around $100 for them (I might have bought them in the middle of summer or something...) I wear them a lot. I think they're really well made and should last a long time. I really want some black...

Who was the poster that has a connection to get Zappos discount codes? How much of a discount is it? I would love some black Frye riding boots, but definitely don't want to pay full price for them...

I went to Consignment Furniture Emporium for the first time recently. My tastes run toward vintage/antique furniture (that's mostly what I have in my apt) and it seemed like pretty much all the stuff in the store were pieces you'd see in any "new" furniture store, so it wasn't really for...

What a classy Missed Connection on craigslist, hahaha: preg at walmart - m4w - 30 (mtairy) Date: 2012-09-10, 10:38PM EDT you were at the mtairy walmart with a friend and maybe the friend's kid. your belly was huge... i want to feel me inside you...

At least the mom wasn't practicing elimination communication, where there's no need to put your 4mo in diapers because you can somehow divine when he needs to pee... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elimination_communication

Man, all this fashion talk really makes me miss dressing up for work - now I just wear scrubs. I used to wear dresses about every day and now I have a closet full sitting there :-(

Interesting ITK, didn't know that...although I don't think all clothing manufacturers follow the "standard" pattern. (...and now everyone is going to think I have a really weird build, great. :))

There's only a quarter inch difference between sizes in the waist? I would have thought it was more than that...or is that a quarter inch in the quads? In a lot of pants, my waist size and what fits my quads is at least one size different (and I have to get my mom/the tailor to put darts in the...
