8/17/08 Captain Jack's Repossession Repo Cruise to PC thru TPC Part 13

I also know that the pythagorean theorem is:

a squared + b squared = c squared

and it has something to do with triangles, but I have no idea what.

But I can spell pythagorean theorem without looking it up.

Yeah, my GRE verbal score was just about double my math score.

I think.

Unless I multiplied wrong.

Well then being such a verbal whiz kid This ought to be easy for you!

 

[geffric]

If all goes according to "my" plan, it will be in 2 years and 11 months......

But who is counting.. LOL

My cousin used to tell us the days/hours and mintes until he retired..

 

[jonesing]

A guy on one of my other chatboards (yes, I cheat on DIS with other boards! ) posted this:

My daughter said her first bad word today
________________________________________​

And it was the f word. She's about 2.75.​

Apparently daddy isn't doing a good enough job of censoring his speech around the house.​

The email from my wife below:​

"We were playing a kid computer game and [our daughter] said...Fu...ity, fu..., fu...."​

Suggestions? Aside from daddy to clean up his language, which I will certainly do.

Congrat JR!!!! Looks like my DH went to the dark side of the swabbies. Do you think he would call and tell me there was a run for the pirates?
Wait til he sees his supper tonight. I don't stay mad, I get even.

your interests? be more flexible?, make constructive changes, &

: ..show you love?...esp. to wenches, , well you
don't have to tell me twice...."take what i can"!

I always enjoy the pictures of memories. Memories are what the future is based on. Oh no!!! Now I am sounding like you. Take that as a comliment.

We just received a letter from the high school letting us know that Angelina's senior portraits will be taken on June 19th. Hazel and sat here choking up thinking about our "baby" getting ready to start her final year of high school in September. Then the reality set in when we saw the prices for the portrait packages.

We received a second letter letting us know that Angelina will be receiving a very special award next Thursday night (3/31). From what we read, this is a "Formal Affair" for the kids. We found out that Angelina's English teacher nominated her for this award. I'll be sure to take pics.

You must be proud of Angelina. Inspite of all our mistakes raising kids, the majority turn out pretty good.

I vote for Sweet Tomotoes.. anytime.. for lunch it is easier to do on a weekend due to working and end of qtr stuff.. dinner is open as long as it is not scouts or Eric graduation or finals..

depending on the homework load, I may even bring DSs who may sit at their own table and fight.. LOL Cheryl, I'll pm you my phone number and let's talk..

Sounds good to me!!!

 

[Verandah Man]

But who is counting.. LOL

My cousin used to tell us the days/hours and mintes until he retired..

I'll start counting the days/hours and minutes once January 1, 2010 rolls around..........

Premature quite often?

On posting yes!!!

I could not resist adding formulas that we use at work everyday. One, two and three compartment models to try to figure out what happens to those drugs that we stick in people and how fast they are coming out. Unfortunately, unlike astro physicis, we have no correct answers but only guesses because everyone is different. Spend all that time calculating the following equations to get an educated guess that is not always that close.




IBW = 50 Kg + (2.3 x Inches over 5 ft) [Males]
IBW = 45.5 Kg + (2.3 x Inches over 5 ft) [Females]
DOSING WEIGHT = (PATIENT WEIGHT - IBW) * 0.4 +IBW

(140 - Age) x IBW*
CrCl = ------------------ [x 0.85 for females]
72 x SCr


(* if actual weight less than IBW actual weight is used for calculation)

AMINOGLYCOSIDES (First order/one compartment equations):
VANCOMYCIN


Assumptions:
The equations assume that steady state has been achieved.
If steady state has not been achieved, then a pre-dose
C(min) should be used in place of the C(min-actual)
in the Vd equation.

Definitions:
Ke = elimination rate constant
CrCl = creatinine clearance
IBW = ideal body weight
C1 = first concentration
C2 = second concentration
T1 = time of C1
T2 = time of C2
LD = loading dose
C(desired) = desired level
T(inf) = time of infusion or time to peak level
Tau = dosing interval
C(max) = maximum serum concentration
C(min) = minimum serum concentration
Cx = any given concentration
Tx = time of Cx
Vd = volume of distribution in liters
MD = maintenance dose




Ke = 0.014 + (0.00293 x CrCl) [Tobramycin/Gentamicin]
Vd= 0.28 * body weight(selected) [Tobramycin/Gentamicin]


Ke = (0.00083 x CrCl) +0.0044 [Vancomycin]
Vd= 0.60 * body weight(selected) [Vancomycin]


ln C1 - ln C2
Ke = ---------------
t2 - t1

Vd x T(inf) x Ke x C(desired)
LD = ------------------------------
-Ke x T(inf)
1 - e

1 C(max)
Tau = --- x ln ------ + T(inf)
Ke C(min)


-Ke x Tau
MD = LD x (1 - e )





-Ke x T(inf)
MD x (1 - e )
Vd(l)=-----------------------------------------------------------------
-Ke x T(inf)
Ke x T(inf) x [C(max) - (C(min) x e )]


-Ke x Tau
C(max) x Ke x T(inf) x Vd x (1 - e )
MD = ----------------------------------------------
-Ke x T(inf)
1 - e



-Ke x T(inf)
MD x (1 - e )
C(max) = -------------------------
-Ke x Tau
Ke x T(inf) x Vd x (1 - e )


-Ke x (Tau - T(inf))
C(min) = e x C(max)

You can get medication for that !!!

Methinks the wenches will hang you by your giblets for that one!

Do what we do...use your best guesstimate and "eyeball" it!

It's not easy watching them grow up and away.

How wonderful that Angelina got an award! Yes, please post some pics

I feel like Alice after falling down the rabbit hole. Or is that Dorothy waking up in the Land of Oz? Or perhaps I AM back in that horror of high school and college.

But somehow, I could have sworn I logged onto the DIS. A place for fun and fancy and discussion of cruises, trips and stinky teens!

No....instead I find myself lost in the netherworld of brainy mathematicians trying to one-up eachother.

LilGrumpy...whatever wonderful world you live in...will you take me there, please? It's way more fun than all this math crap.
Loved your pictures and your memories. I wish we could fill pages with those!

 

[joksten2000]

Today the Dr put his blessings on me and okayed the start of therapy. I was starting to get crazy. Seems like it's been one thing after another since I retired four years ago. Don't be in a hurry Andy.

My whole life, has been, one thing after another................


Happy to hear you got the OK to start PT!!!

Hi Todd -- I was wondering if you read the current interview in Rolling Stone with Johnny Depp and Keith Richard -- it was really interesting . . .

Actually , I have not yet ....I have been so busy trying to get everything ready for this coming weekend ....I made myself a new wig , finally got my rubber monkey paw and just trying to age my costume a bit better ....the dremel works good for this ...LOL

 

[PBader]

Sometime back (the last time I was on - 2 weeks ago?) I promised before and after picture of DH10's new summer "doo". We had taked about a flat top, but he came back with something else....

What a change!! With the new doo all you noticed was how big he eyes were! It actually made him look younger.

Esteri It did make him look younger!!

Senior pictures make Shutters seem like a deal, huh!

Congratulations to Angelina for her award. That is great


(I would probably fall over if school called and told me Adam would be getting an award )

I've had to tell Jared that "Class Clown" is not necessarily an honor!
