Like I need to fight this thing I am starting to come down with before it gets worse.

Happy birthday, ya old man!

Now, Rev. Don't croak on me...

Aw, hell.

chilled.

Hello, hello!

Yes please on the pictures. And Cher, should it worry me that you are right behind me in that picture.

Kind of blah....not a plague critter, just blah.

What do you mean, dry? All you have to do is lick them, and they will be fine... ... Pretty colors... OK, who brought the hallucinogenic frogs?

Getting ready for another day under the surgical microscope

If it does become legal, I don't see it dropping immediately below Schedule II on the Controlled Substances Act. The most common indications would probably be appetite activation in cancer patients, and pain attenuation in Chronic Pain Syndrome and again, cancer patients. In other words, it is going to be strictly controlled, due to a combination of bad history (fabricated or not,) and the stigma that is still perceived in using it. more on CPS As for my desires for legality or not; I would like to see studies that can go through The Cochrane Review with the stuff. This panel reviews as many studies as possible to see if they are rigorously designed and if the data is presented and analyzed correctly correctly. This serves for the basis of evidence-based medicine ("The best studies that we have currently indicate...") versus "cookbook medicine" (e.g. giving every man between 15-80 a colonoscopy for colon cancer "because I said so." (there are certain criteria that state the proper ages (evidence-based medicine indicates a scope should happen at age 50 for most men, or age of a relative that had colon cancer minus 10 years. It grows that slow, and polyps removed at that time can actually be curative.)) If the studies can withstand the review, fine; let it come into the market. But as I said above, it will probably not drop below Schedule II for some time. However, if it is no longer a taboo (Schedule I) thing to do studies with, studies can be formed that can prove one way or the other to modern medicine to be good or bad for medical problems, which could move it on the Schedules.

Weight training tonight it is then.

I unfortunately missed the ceremony proper. Walked up to the wedding just in enough time to be snatched up by Tszura for a picture with the new bride. Then got introduced to Nightgaunt's family. Believe it or not, I am still not used to hearing my full name with the title in front of it. The couple looked absolutely smashing. Great to see those two married. They are a great couple. A lot of people were there that I haven't seen in like ages. Everyone looked good for the pictures, and I am so looking forward to pictures from the ceremony and party. Got a kick out of the whole goth theme. The food was excellent. And no, no guests, small children, or purses were eaten by the Hawaiian Don. *mumbles like Marlon Brando in "The Godfather" ... Wait...does that make me Don Ho? *ducks, repressing urge to sing "Tiny Bubbles"*

I'm there. At the rate we are going, we are going to have to expand it to a catacomb.

All's quiet on the DGN front...

Thirsty.

Seeing kids under the age of 12 not only on the dance floor for the Time Warp, but actually doing the Time Warp as well. *hobbles off to find a wheelchair to sit in*

For my access to the building I am working in.

sssssshhhhhh! Don't encourage him!

Like yesterday was an epic win. And for some strange reason, I am not hungry for breakfast... *shrugs*

Like I am getting in too early...but parking is so much better.

When in the name of the nine circles of hell did female medical students get so frakking hot?! Was there a model hotness requirement to get into school implemented recently? And where in the hell were the ones like that when *I* was in school?! Damned regulations on dating
