The midshipman would destroy me. Most of them are in way better shape.
I have painful memories of having to pass the physical readiness test every year. Ugh, push-ups.

After a few kids I found the situps to be nearly as bad
I could max out before kids, but by the time #3 was born....I actually managed to miss the run for most of my time in, thanks to a torn ligament in boot camp....by the time I got out we could do the elliptical, which was great since it meant I could still walk in the week following the test.

We used to run around the campus and surrounding neighborhood. They always designed the course so we had to run up this giant hill to the finish line. Someone was sadistic. Seriously, I would have loved to do it on the elliptical.

2. If you haven't already, watch Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog (If you need me to, I can bring the DVD to Florida in September.). Also he was awesome in Firefly, and has a tendency to throw a lot of Firefly references into Castle. (two by two, hands of blue.... and his "space cowboy" costume in the Halloween Episode a while back).

Love Firefly and Serenity. The sing Along Blog is hilarious. Love NPH in it.

oh... good/bad news... just found out today that I've been preapproved for a mortgage. The only part that sucks is that it may mean I have to cancel September trip to WDW since I hope to close around the end of the summer...damn, its really sad when I am having a hard time chosing between buying a house and spending a few days at Disney... LOL

Congrats on the mortgage. I have a warning though, Don't do it. Run far away. Having a mortgage kills the dream of running away forever to live at Disney.

I am looking for a big enough cardboard box that I can set up in New York at DHS to give it a little more authenticity.

Ewww on the big hill!

The saddest part for me was my best time ever was in boot camp, 3 weeks after I got off the crutches. My worst running scenario was when I was at a major joint command (that means lots of different branches of services for you non-mil types, nothing to do with 420 related things....). The commander of the base was a Marine, so we got to do a 5 mile "fun run" every month. That was when I messed up my ankle.....

Or Thursday. I never could get the hang of Thursdays.

Hitchhiker, do you have your towel?

 

[ctnurse]

Holy fast moving thread...take that as you want to...

I hope the biting has ended....or maybe not

Hope everybody in the tornado belt is okay and has had minimal damage. The flood waters have left Jersey and I'm looking at sunshine!

What's everybody doing for the weekend?

Not sure yet but I'm guessing it will involve wine,food, and sleep. I'm hoping for an invite to a BBQ.

It is my intention to raid, pillage, plunder and otherwise pilfer my weasly black guts out.

How come this doesn't surprise me???

Hands on is not a bad thing.

Agreed! Great minds think alike!

Actually, it's a Mensa meeting, but people tend to make fun of me when I tell them I belong. So it's kind of a habit not to bring it up.

Not dorky at all actually quite cool.

ooohhhh Beauty and Brains.. I think I'm in Love..

That's what I'm looking for too....And if they have an accent....look out

but free wine, apparently.

Yum free wine! Where do I sign up!

Yeah, sounds like "fun."
I've learned that navy seals and pretty much the entire marine corps have a completely different concept of fun than the rest of us.

Is it bad that I have a mental crush on a guy at work. I don't want him to be my boyfriend, I just want to hang with him all the time.

He has all the qualities you want in that interesting friend that you never found but people have at their dinner parties. He speaks a couple of languages, sings opera, has a couple of PH.D's and doesn't own a tv. I am fascinated with his life.

Does that make me kind of weird and stalkery? I want to plan a dinner party and invite him and LaLa. They would make a good pair.

Nope not wierd at all! I think it is great looking out for a friend. I would love to talk to someone like that. I can't wait to hear about your party.

[nurse.darcy]

Man, you all are busy today. I was busy at work and couldn't check in. . .now I have to catch up. . .ugh.

Hey guys! Sorry I've been MIA all week. I've been working all day, then dealing with my roommates(who are moving out today YAY!!!) issues/drama, and hanging out with my Uncle since he's only in town until Tuesday. We went out and saw POTC the other day and loved it! I am definitely mad at myself for not staying through the total end of the credits so I missed the last scene. *sigh* Guess I'll have to go to the cheap theater and go see it again. lol. Hope everyone is having a great week!

hey Blue! Although you been MIA at least its for good reason... hope you can hang with us more soon.

Was curious, so google found this:

http://www.mensafoundation.org/Cont...res/QualifyingTestScores/QualifyingScores.htm

SAT prior to 9/30/74 1300
from 9/30/74 to 1/31/94 1250
after 1/31/94 N/A

So basically they've dumbed down the SAT over the years OR are they aware that we aren't kickin it like we used to?? Either way, I wouldn't make it... missed it by 70 pts.

hehehehe... I just did my "house poor" budget and it really will be a sad sight for my Disney savings account. But, as a DISDiva, I know it can be done. Just gotta get my hustle on...

He sounds fun... doesn't make you weird. It just means you yearn to be around interesting and intelligent people that have substance to them and not the same ole same ole. Thats always a good thing. WAIT... did you say "...him and Lala?" uhhhhh, maybe when I lose these muffin tops we can discuss. LOL

4. Why do I get the feeling you are tease me into biting someone?

Duh. . .lol.

To keep reminding some guy in Northern Virginia that he needs to move to Florida?

Well, I believe it is for the best, after all. . .

yes. I am grabbing a stool and having a seat. hehehehe

Welcome. . .take care.

3. I think it's funny that I went from being Mickey88 to The Pyrate, to

Just got tired of typing and it was early in the morning. . .my fingers were working better on the mouse than on the keys. . .lol.

That's just what a girl wants to hear. Lol. That you're capable of juggling her with all the other women...

Yeah, not such a good thing to hear.

Holy fast moving thread...take that as you want to...

What's everybody doing for the weekend?

Star Wars Weekend this weekend and perhaps a 3rd time seeing POTC 4

It is my intention to raid, pillage, plunder and otherwise pilfer my weasly black guts out.

Perfect. . .

They changed the way the wrote the questions, and added in the writing component, so "they" (whomever decides certain tests can correlate to IQ) said you can no longer determine IQ from the SATs. GRE, GMAT and I think maybe even ACT can still be used. I'm too lazy to actually join....unless they have free daycare. Sometimes, when my regular RL friends are busy, it can be nice to have a conversation with another adult. But that's not so easy with 3 small people hanging around....

Okay, this is funny. I got 1420 on my SAT. HOWEVER, I got my first degree without ever taking an SAT. I took that SAT for my 2nd degree and I took it in 1995 without prep because I couldn't finish registering without an SAT score even though I could have scored a zero on the test. Went in with no prep. Apparently by 1995 they stopped taking SAT scores. . .I have my original results for that. . .I also have the original results from the IQ test I took in 1969.

 

[bluedevilinaz]

You were MIA?. . .lol.

ha ha ha...

hey Blue! Although you been MIA at least its for good reason... hope you can hang with us more soon.

I should be able to this weekend.

My insomnia has killed my brain function. I'm not sure I could score as high now as I did in 8th grade!
