What are you doing right now?

[Last Child]

Wearing my new snow boots

I've been banned from wearing snow boots / snow shoes for the remainder of winter! :frustrated:

Went snowshoeing Saturday and found the only hole along the trail, resulting in a fractured ankle compounded by a torn ligament! :wallbash:

Ohhh dude that really sucks.

Hope you heal quick and I hope they gave you some really good drugs.

[KapitanSparrow]

Get well soon, Brute!

Damn, that sucks man. Sorry to hear it. Hope it heals quickly. Can you still ride at all or too painful? How long will you be down?

Thanks, all! I only promised to stop snow shoeing or any strenuous foot-based activity. This will not stop my upcoming ride in Nevada mid-Feb.

Hurts like hell, but provided I stay off it and stay on my machine, I should be good to go.

As for downtime, I was told to expect at least 60 days in this leg brace thing.

Stupid foot-propelled outdoor activities!!! Get better soon!

[greyhair biker]

Oh Brute - dude, that sucks! (ya get any pics?) - had to ask :ne_nau: Hope you get healed quick. :nod:

[CrazyFinn]

60 days is a long time to hobble. Good that you can still ride or it would be really tough. Take care and best wishes on a fast recovery.

[Joe Gardner]

Ouch! Gotta be careful out there. I saw three people carted off the groomers today, and we were only there for two hours!

[Don]

Oh Brute - dude, that sucks! (ya get any pics?) - had to ask :ne_nau:

Nice. :haha:

[JP]

Watching the snow come down this morning and wondering when I need to go clear the driveways :haha:

See that, the quad is safer :haha:


JP......what sign are you? But Aries is actually the start of the Zodiac calendar.
On the Chinese calender, the Cock and Aries on the Zodiac calendar :nod:

[blueeyes]

Morning Bogley... how did you all sleep? I actually slept great last night. Time for some coffee.

Hey for those of you following the winter fest thread. Skiing has been canceled in the daytime. Only Night skiing and sadly I won't be able to join. But I will see everyone after at dinner.

[KapitanSparrow]

Thanks for asking, Blueeyes. I slept like a baby but not long enough. I must curb my need for useless internet knowledge that keeps me up until 11 p.m. :ne_nau:

Meanwhile, I am looking for some living room furniture - a couch and a love seat - so if anyone has any suggestions as to where I can find decently priced stuff, let me know :2thumbs:

[abirken]

BRUTE- Get to feeling better. Sorry to hear about your injury. :2thumbs:

So folks, I am home today with a sick kiddo.......it's his third day of not being well. Hubby stayed home with him yesterday. So today was the trade. I didn't sleep well b/c he was up and down most of the night with fever and stomach issues. I am beat. I plan on spending today attempting to get organized for my road trip to SLC since I am home doing not much of anything. ALSO, send good JUJU my way so I don't get sick. I've lysoled and bleached the hell out of everything. I'm not going to get sick, I'm not going to get sick....... :lol8:

[jfeiro]

Wishing I was working..... :wallbash:

[CrazyFinn]

Thats a nice CAT. I want one!!! :nod:

[JP]

It's the big one, it's like 12,000lbs :nod: It works real well, especially how you can just spin that thing around on the dime and it's not all that long...even with the plow. The only bad thing...ice. That thing slides around like there's no tomorrow. No stopping that puppy when it does go :haha: Well, some snow or a snowbank :lol8:

[accadacca]

You plowing for the Bates motel JP? :haha:

Oh man......stressing. Stressing like a mutha people. All you folks that wanna see my face for Winterfest, better be sending some good JUJU my way b/c it's becoming more complicated than I'd like. Kids, cars, money.......you name it, it's happened to me this week. GRRRRR...... :frustrated:

Hang in there Alison. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

[Bo_Beck]

Printing credit apps. and existing order acknowledgements from outdoor companies , and writing orders to fill "The Desert Rat" when we open our doors sometime in March. Jonsing meanwhile to get out saturday for some trad/multipitch climbing with Janette! :2thumbs:

[CrazyFinn]

Having my morning coffee. Still thinking about that CAT. I have a GEHL and it's not running and I have a driveway to finish. :ne_nau:

[Don]

I slept in. Seriously slept in. Got to work at 10:30. (Still stopped for coffee on the way in though :naughty: )
Turns out my boss had the day off. I filled out a leave form for the hours, left it on his desk and now; coffee. :haha:

[KapitanSparrow]

Sitting at work :naughty: I just called JetBlue to reserve a seat for my mom's minature weiner dog :ne_nau: He's a really mean little guy, not neutered so very aggressive (he has a nick name "terrorist" in the neighborhood because he fears almost no other dog, big or small). I'm sure he will pee all over my carpets, annoy the cats :frustrated: On top of that, JetBlue charges $100 each way for a dog :rope:

At least they took my money right away without any waiting time :haha:

[blueeyes]

cleaning my house for company... today is the day!!

[abirken]

Sitting here with my sick kiddo, drinking coffee, about to start packing my car up. :2thumbs: I am going to TRY to get on the road by 3. WHOOP WHOOP! :2thumbs:

[blueeyes]

Made it 15 min late to a meeting at WSU. Ran out of there and just picked up the snowshoes!! Confirmed reservations at Tona's, Confirmed reservations at Bohemian.

Talked to Jeff.. he says we can hike to the bottom of Strawberry Gondola in about 1 hours. Eat, have a few beers and then finish the loop. So glad he and Janet are going with us.

I am still cleaning house like mad, need to go grocery shopping, stock up on beer, pick up shampoo, pick up coffee from Salt Lake Roasting Co., make it to work by 5pm, (PRAY THE MACHINES ARE NICE TO ME TONIGHT!!!) and hopefully slide into a seat next to Alison by 10pm at Bohemian! Whooo, busy busy day.

I sure hope tomorrow is as pretty as today!

[KapitanSparrow]

Wish I could go with you guys tomorrow :frustrated:

Reading textcast from handball world championship semi-final game between Poland and Croatia :haha:

[blueeyes]

Why can't cha? I have been wondering why Kapitan isn't joining us other then for dinner tonight....

[Randi]

I am getting ready to sneak out of here....

My boss is gone, and I don't want the 2nd in command to know about it.
I'm heading to Death Valley to hike and explore a couple of "off the radar" canyons of perportedly astoundin beauty and an abundance petroglyphs! :nod:

Have a most excellent weekend everyone! :2thumbs:

Hoping I will be good to do something this weekend, I was hoping to snowshoe Green Pond tomorrow but I dont see that happing. At the very least I hope I can throw back a few beers during the superbowl.

[JP]

[abirken]

Sitting here thinking about how much fun I had last night. When are we doing this again? :haha: Ok so besides that, what am I doing right now? I am thinking about the fact that I should be in bed right now since I'm running on empty from the weekend. :2thumbs:

[KapitanSparrow]

Contemplating how horrible today is: it's a Monday, it's a pay your rent day, it just sucks I won't say what, heh.

[blueeyes]

So last week I found out that one of the girls I work with in the SL Clinic is pregnant. She is due in April! :frustrated: She hid that well for 6 months. I can't leave them a man down (or women in this case) so now I have at least 17 more ALL day Mondays and Fridays before I am done with this second job. Guess I will work until the end of May. :roll:

From reading this, Id say your too young and naive.
Let me see if I can jade you up a bit.

Do you think that company would care about you?
would they go out of their way to help you if you needed it?
Its common practice to give 2 weeks notice to a company before you leave.
Never do this! They would not come to you and say "hey, we are laying people off in 2 weeks, your one of them, so do what ya can to prepare for it"
You give two weeks notice and they assume youll be lazy, well they were a good employee but now they are leaving? have to beat them like a rented mule to get anything out of them!

If you planned on quitting on april first, do so. They wouldn't stop any of their plans to help you out, I certainly would not stop any of mine to help them out either.

Now there are exceptions to this, my wife works for a company that has gone out of their way to help her out.
Money, loans with no interest to get her shit together when she was down, a guy who has found out he has cancer and they paid off the land he has a trailer on so his daughter will not have to end up homeless after her dad dies. He is rarely at work these days as he is in treatment, he still gets paid with no vacation, just as if he is coming to work.
An employee who had a 2 month old baby die an couldn't afford a burial.
They paid for it in total, and paid time off for that parent, and the funeral home, the casket, all of it, then sent flowers as well.
They figured out it would be cheaper to switch to a poorer insurance program for its employees. Now there is a 3k deductible that must be met before her insurance pays one cent each year.
Hr company now not only pays the 100% of her cost to have insurance, they also have employees bring in the bills from hospital stays or doctor visits and then cut the employee a check to cover that till the 3k is met.
They are still getting off cheaper than they had been with the better insurance, but helped out employees rather than just take all that savings and pocketing it. matching 401k dollar for dollar to 5% and 50 on the dollar after that up to 9%.
There are companies that car about the employees, but they are rare. If that company is one of them, quit the other job and stay there! if not, do what ya want when ya want, they would do it to you.

Naive I am not.... this job is more then just a job.

For one I have a student in this clinic that is currently in my online class and has been accepted to our online program.

Two, I plan on using this clinic for student rotations for our on campus program. NO BURNING BRIDGES!!! No matter your age you should never burn bridges it is dumb and imature.

Three the economy sucks right now... who knows if I will get to keep my lovely job here a Weber. Should I have to leave, I want the best options and in my line of work... lab directors and supervisors talk to each other. I would hope that when I do give my notice... that if I ever asked my lab director for a letter of recommend she would be thrilled to write one.

Where I am at now and where I plan to go is all about who you know! Contacts baby and I need good ones.

Besides I love the job... just not the extremely long Mondays!

Well I am off to SL and the lab... may the Axym and Vitros be in good moods today.

[Deathcricket]

Ahh yeah!! I've really only had 2 careers in my life. The rest have been "just jobs". But the only reason I got either of those careers is by not burning bridges at my "just jobs". Contacts contacts contacts.... Those are the only things that will open up the big doors later in life. Even if you have the cool title. Someone who will vouch for ya in the bosses ear works wonders. They won't do that if they know you left on a moments notice. It would reflect poorly on them.

Interesting factoid: My current boss pulls in over 250k/yr. But back in the day when we were techs making probably 45k/yr.. if we were lucky, we both got laid off on the same day, exact same time. He called us in his office and said "we I'm shrinking down and have to let ya guys go" even though we were the only techs pulling in corporate accounts. He wanted to just do "mom and pop" stores with no T1's or Pri's even. He said centrex lines were the way of the future.. LOL Then he had another tech drive us home with all our tools and tried to get us to join Amway (pyramid scheme of the day). Anyways we had some rough times ahead, this was just after 911. He had 3 kids, a mortgage and I was just single and lived with 3 guys and my only major expense was $300 rent. I lent him a little money to cover his bills a bit. He took some time but paid it back, no biggie. I always knew though he had a strong work ethic and would land on his feet. Anyways, years and years later he ends up being my boss and decides what my starting salary with Oracle will be. Hmmmm maybe the maximun allowed amount? A little help goes a long way, is all I'm saying.

You don't know what the future holds, find some co-workers who are motivated and no matter how crappy the job is, never ever burn a bridge. It will pay dividends in the future if they know they can trust ya.

:2thumbs:

[greyhair biker]

Ok Chere' - we need to start planning your vacation for MAY SOON! :haha: sounds like a trip to MOAB to RIDE :ride: :friday: :cripple: :banana: :banana: :clap: :ride: :kickit: :rockit:

[abirken]

And I'll meet ya'll in Moab too. But to maybe hike and drink beer. :2thumbs: Shall we start the event planning NOW? And even better Moab b/c it's much closer to me. :five:

.........last week in May...? It does get hot then but ....it's a dry heat :lol8: and lots of time to play in the waters of Millcreek to cool off. :nod:

[Don]

Moab in May should work for me too. I have to play Army on the weekend of 15, 16 and 17 in May so lets not do it then, ok?

[accadacca]

I know where to make rainbows... :haha:

You guys say when! It's much easier to plan a Moab trip for me so you guys call it. :2thumbs: What am I doing right now? Thinking about being hot in the sunshine, the smell of sunblock, red rocks for a view and a dip in ice cold water. Oh yea and I am about to eat popcorn. :nod:

Hm wow! After spending time with Chere, I'd say she's not too young or naive. In fact, I see the complete opposite in her. Wise beyond her years! She's one of the most diligent, ambitious and driven people that I know. Not only is she on top of her game, but she has a work ethic that I think a few of us on here can learn from. Holding two jobs while being a single mom? Hell that's huge! Her future actions are a very wise move for her career advancement and not naive at all. Just had to go to bat for my girl. :2thumbs: :nod:

From reading this, Id say your too young and naive.


Hm wow! After spending time with Chere, I'd say she's not too young or naive. In fact, I see the complete opposite in her. Wise beyond her years! She's one of the most diligent, ambitious and driven people that I know. Not only is she on top of her game, but she has a work ethic that I think a few of us on here can learn from. Holding two jobs while being a single mom? Hell that's huge! Her future actions are a very wise move for her career advancement and not naive at all. Just had to go to bat for my girl. :2thumbs: :nod:

Thanks Alison!

Well I made it home in decent time tonight. The last three Mondays have actually been good.

So now I am getting all excited about Moab. CAMPING!!! I have not been camping in 2 years. I need a good campfire.

Also must agree with Don on the smell of campfire in clothes. Reminds me of childhood :2thumbs:

Don't forget beer pancakes in the morning when you are camping! Oh and a fresh cup of coffee.

Speaking of coffee... think I will go get me a cup.

Well having never met her, or doing any research on her, I made my (admittedly bad) guess based on that she had ideals and wanted to protect the company she was working part time for.

Her reasons make sense, I stand corrected. Sometimes, there is a reason. Im just too jaded based on my own experiences I guess.

There are a few things very very high on my list of things I love.
1 is my wife another is my man plumbing.
Should I start researching you, I would likely lose both.
I hope you understand, I simply can not research you. From teh sounds of it, it would only send me insane on top of causing physical harm to me, and making me single. That is just one more good reason to a growing list of reason to not make you a research subject.

You also forgot the fact that she's already got a long list of devoted stalkers, so you'd have to wait in line. I'm right behind Don, GHB, and Kaptain I think.

Wow! I didn't quiet mean that kinda research. DUDE! Gravity I have standards.

I have yet to destroy any mans plumbing, I quiet like their plumbing. I have never physically harmed one either.

When I said research project I kinda ment like following me around in my dizzing pace of work, kids, work, work, play, work, kids, volunteering, work. Dare you to keep up! Crazy thoughts that cross through my mind.

It has just been my experience that with any research project it drives you crazy. I just found it funny you said you had never researched me.

Anyhooo all I can say is WOW...That made me laugh.

Well I meant research by looking into past posts, trying to figure out your age, your hobbies, work place, anything.
When I referred to wrecking the man bits, i was referring to what would happen to me from my wife, should I embark on such an endeavor.
The standards part of your post...that does make me wonder...Only a girl with no standards could be interested in me?
I used to seek out those girls, I had a sixth sense for them ya know. However about 5 years ago ( not yet but the 27th of this month will make five years) I gave that up, found one I wanted, one worth having instead of one worth having for an hour or two or a night, and have been kept ever since. She moved in with me about 4 years ago. I refer to her as my wife, but shes not, not yet anyways, she has a big ass ring, she did say yes, we have just not gotten around to actually putting it on paper, sometime this summer in Vegas, with a trip to Yellowstone right after, and if I get my way, a trip after that to San Diego and Mexico. then it will be official.
I thought she had standards? I was even happy that I met them!
I am a bit confused, but I think you might have hurt my feel bads
:cry1:

[blueeyes]

Sweety... no no no.. what I ment by standards was you are married... I wouldn't fool around with a married man.

And I am sure you are much harder on yourself then you need to be, and am thrilled you found the women who makes you happy.

[KapitanSparrow]

Working, then going to buy some delicious french bread to go with delicious deli items a friend of mine ordered from Chicago :haha:

And I am sure you are much harder on yourself then you need to be, and am thrilled you found the women who makes you happy.

Ok, if you and I are going to talk here there or anyplace, online or in person...We got to get one thing straight.
I was joking! I knew what ya meant. or atleast I thought thats what ya meant, you did not hurt my feel bads, I was just talking a bit of poop, I was joking. I do that mmmmmmm about 90% of the time.
The second thing that we have to get straight is my name.
People here call me gravity because of the nic on the screen.
Had I known for sure that Id like it here when I signed up Id of used another name. Nearly all my internet names relate to gravity, I am a climber, gravity is a harsh reality that has show n me many many times she is a harsh mistress, thats all.
If I could go back to my sign up and change the name, Id of used my real name as I hate to think I will be meeting anyone from here and have to say uhh yeah, Im gravity, how ya doin?
Its Chance, just plain ass chance.
A shitty name to grow up with, but just fine once you get to life past high school.
Both of these little spiels I just gave you, they are not directed at you, they are for anyone, I screw around and joke a lot, and the name is chance.
I keep trying to get the wife to check out the sites, she refuses to climb, but is avidly outdoors, she resists, but one day I shall talk her into it, an any future bogley events I am lucky enough to attend she will be with me. She would be Julie.
Now I was NOT KIDDING when I said she would wreak havoc and mayhem on my goodies before removing them, that was the honest truth.

Missing my wife and daughter, who are in Orlando......
They have had some cold weather the past couple of days (Floridian cold :lol8: ) Supposed to be in the mid seventies tomorrow :2thumbs: Warming up :2thumbs:

[blueeyes]

It is Saturday morning... no kids... no need to take them to ski practice today because they are grounded... I didn't do anything last night but work come home and go to sleep.... you would think I could sleep in today. The one day I can sleep in since December and I wake up a 6AM. :frustrated: Oh well, guess I will brew me some coffee.

[CrazyFinn]

Checking the weather, looks like rain again today but we need it. Will have to work indoors again today as well. We should run out to the desert but my dad is visiting.

one minute you want to tie them up with duct tape and beat them with a wet noodle and the next they are making you laugh so hard you feel like you are going to pee your pants and then they just make you so proud your heart swells to the point it is going to burst

[KapitanSparrow]

Following work I purchased some furniture in an event of Bogley after-party at my apt. I just finished vacuuming and now waiting for the delivery guys to show up. Ahhh, and I am also having a drink.

OK, my bachelor pad is set up, heh, except I have no tv. Freaking fur balls are already ruining it! :frustrated:

[greyhair biker]

Now I am waiting for Pasole' (read: peeled tomatoes, golden hominy, peppers, onions & sausage) and cornbread to finish a cookin so I can eat. I havent even changed out of me bike clothes yet... :roll:
Spagetti & brownies actually sounds good right now Chere'

[abirken]

Just barely coming alive this morning. I have tons of photos and videos to upload.

Kapitan-Love your furniture!!! Your kittens look so happy to have something new to claw. HAHA!!

Had a blast last night! Sent Chere a pic message of me with my chopsticks and mouth full of sushi. Was thinking of you guys from last weekend while devouring a few rolls.

The Rev performed a great show as always and the opening band Slim Cessnas Autoclub was a riot. Will put up a few pics later. :2thumbs:

Time for banana bread and coffee!!! Yum!!!

[abirken]

Hubby and I just got done putting together our 5 year old's bunk bed. He's so excited. Gave me a good reason to pick up his room and throw lots of stuff away. So now I am going to start an early dinner. Going to make a Thai Peanut encrusted chicken dish along with coconut basil sticky rice. Yummy!!! :nod: The weather is chilly and dreary outside. Wish it would just snow and get it over with. This spring like conditions are horrendous right now. Mud and rain and dirty snow. Blech! :lol8:

Today was Sarah's B-day. She is grounded and missed out on her big B-day party, but we had a very small just family party and for dinner her choice was steamed artichokes. YUMMMM.

[KapitanSparrow]

Yeay! Artichokes rule! I had chicken breasts for dinner :ne_nau:

[blueeyes]

Artichokes do rule! They were so yummy dipped in butter. My kids love them.

I awoke with a start this morning. Thought I had woke up 1 hour late... the room was unusaully bright. I looked at my clock and it was 5:15. I open my blinds and what do I see..... SNOW!!!! I wish it were not Monday... I want to go play!!!

[JP]

I open my blinds and what do I see..... SNOW!!!! I want to go play!!!
Sun here, all sun :lol8: And I will be going out and playing :haha:

[Cirrus2000]

I've been cooking up a storm, last night and this morning. I'd fallen off the "good eating" wagon lately, and ate a lot of crappy food while at work (and at home, honestly). My weight and blood pressure were showing the effects... So it's time to cook up some good, healthy food, and put single portions in the freezer for work.

Made a huge pot of palak paneer and a huge pot of paneer makhani last night - there's 16 meals.

This morning, I'm simmering a big pot of chana (chickpeas) to make some chana masala.

Get the feeling I like Indian food?

[blueeyes]

MMMMMMM...porkroast :slobber1:
We had stirfry lemon chicken & rice noodles....hot & spicey!

I am downloading ALL my music on my new 120GB IPod....damn, that holds a lot of music. I put nearly my whole library on it and I still have close to 100GB :eek2: I'm putting video and pictures on it now :nod:

[abirken]

I need to go on a diet after just reading what everyone's been cooking up!! Everything sounds delish!

So right now I am contemplating how to be a stay home mom and leave my 11 year career behind. Problem is, the numbers aren't adding up like I'd like them to and I'd never get to travel again- not even to Moab because I'd be too poor. :frustrated:

You need to work on that music library. I bought a 120g iPod when my previous 20g died. It freed me up to load more favorites, but my library would not fit on a 120g. I'm looking forward to when iPod makes a 300; I'll be able to load my entire library and still have half that space for movies or photos...



:rockon:

[blueeyes]

Spencer liked the pork roast.. it fell apart and was yummy tender. Tonight is the second half of the recipe using left overs.

Sarah is picky picky picky... she ate it because her alternative was instant oatmeal and I think she is getting tired of eating that. :lol8:

[JP]

:lol8:

[KapitanSparrow]

Wondering how come no one posted anything in the general section in the last three hours or so. That's pretty amazing.


Myself, looks like I am going to be sick with the flu or some other damn illness :ne_nau:

Just fixed me some jerk chicken & shrimp w/ lots o onions, garlic and mushrooms( read: YUUUUUUMMMMMYYYY)

[abirken]

Sorry to hear some of you guys aren't feeling well. :ne_nau: I know how that goes! If you remember correctly, I had a whole house full of sickies just a couple weeks ago. :haha:

Regarding GHB's food posts.......WILL YOU PLEASE STOP????? HAHA!!! I am so freaking hungry right now and that sounds simply DIVINE. You and I have the same tastes. We even ordered the same dessert. :2thumbs: I wouldn't expect any less out of ya! Now will you go RUB your ipod or something?

:lol8:

I just got back from dance class. Our performance dance is coming together very well and I am so excited. It finally started to come natural. Go find Beats Antique, the song Intertwined. High energy, rump shaking song! :rockon:

Spent a day at the Capitol presenting my senior research project. Interesting day. Got to see President Lincoln, and protestors for same sex marriage (my friend Karly and I almost stagged our own protest against them :naughty: ) and met the Lt. Govenor.

Look at you, all hawt! :2thumbs: Hang on, that was probably sexist. I'm just saying lookin' good, is all. (And doin' smart stuff is extra hawt...)

I was wondering why you would protest the protesters for same sex marriage, and realized when I saw the the pics that they were protesters against same sex marriage. Aha!

Sounds like a neat way to spend the day. Can't quite make out the sign - what's the project about?

[KapitanSparrow]

What is that purple thing above your presentation? An octopus? A monkey? :ne_nau:

[greyhair biker]

I just want to bitch slap the protestors. But that's another story. Girl! Loving those boots! HOT! Those are the ones you showed me at your house right? So cute!

I SHOULD be going to bed right now. But I've been up creating my mom's invite to her 60th bday party. I am going to Houston in a couple of weeks to celebrate.

*a little secret*- I get more ink slapped on me tomorrow. YAY! Only Chere has seen the drawing. :2thumbs: YAY FOR HAVING FRIDAYS OFF. It's been a long ass week.

[KapitanSparrow]

The purple Teletubbie is gay! :haha:

I am still sick - going to see the doc at 9:30 a.m. I could not sleep the last two nights due to congestion and headache. I don't take any meds except vitamins. However, tonight I bought some scotch and I feel this will help me sleep tonight :naughty: Plus I get to have a drink before the doc puts me on antibiotics, heh.

[Don]

Hey.... wake up!!! It was just the title... I really won't bore you with the rest.
As a frequent blood donor (actually, platelet & plasma donor) I assumed it meant finding antibodies in the donor's blood, but I looked it up. I had no idea that the recipient was tested for antibodies that would react to antigens in the donated blood - am I getting that right? The references I found were fairly dense.

From the other end of things, I just read a couple of days ago about a young girl who was receiving platelets, and died of a minor bug received via a donor. Very tragic, and it really drove home that I'd better be feeling well before - and after - making a donation!

You are right. All donor's and recipients are checked typed for the antigen/antibodies. Any time a donation is done the donor and recipent samples are cross matched for compatibility.

Blood products can be contaminated and it is best not to donate if you are feeling under the weather.

I am not much of a blood banker. It was a foriegn language to me, but I find the topic fascinating. However one of our very newest memebers to Bogley is now our Blood Bank teacher here on campus. So if you have any pressing questions ask Janet!

I wish I would have gone to bed last night at a decent time. I was pouting because there is new snow and I wasn't going to get to play in it. However I have the BEST mother ever. She told me this morning to leave my naughty little girl with her and she would make her wash walls (grandma was already going to be doing this chore today) while I got to go ski!

Today is the 14th and this is my 14th time going to SNB. :rockit:

[Last Child]

Do you know how much snow the Basin got. I'm skiing today and trying to decide... Beaver? or Basin?

Edit:

Well since the Basin won't update its snow report it looks like I'm going for the Beav. Season pass verses a +- $75 day at the Basin.

Have fun today!

[Don]

Getting dressed, packing a bag; going snowshoeing with Josh and Cody this morning. Not even sure where; Josh planned it this time, somewhere near Mill Creek, I think.
