You're the reason God made Oklahoma!

Sigh....

♪~♪~♪~ ♪~♪~♪
There's a full moon over Tulsa
and I hope that it's shining on you
Nights are gettin' colder here in Cherokee County
there's a blue norther passin' through
I remember green eyes and a rancher's daughter
but remember is all that I do
Losin' you left a purty good cowboy,
with nothin' to hold on to.
Sundown came and I drove to town
to drink a drink or two

You're the reason God made Oklahoma,
you're the reason God made Oklahoma
And I'm sure missin' you.
And I'm sure missin' you.

Out here the city lights outshine the moon
I was just now thinkin' of you
Sometimes when the wind blows you can see the mountains
and all the way to Malibu
Everyone's a star here in L.A. county
you ought to see the things that they do
All the cowboys down on the Sunset Strip,
wishin' they could be like you.
Santa Monica Freeway
sometimes makes a country girl blue

You're the reason God made Oklahoma,
you're the reason God made Oklahoma
And I'm sure missin' you

I worked ten hours on a John Deere tractor,
just thinkin' of you all day
Got a calico cat and a two-room flat
on a street in West L.A.

You're the reason God made Oklahoma,
you're the reason God made Oklahoma
And I'm sure missin' you.
And I'm sure missin' you.

I'm sure missin' you.

I Vant To Suck Your Blood!

Normally, I don't do this voluntarily....but this time I did. Because I think it is a good idea, but Mostly to show all the pansies it wasn't as big a deal as they were acting it was. And it doesn't actually hurt. The finger prick to test for iron levels is worse than the big 'ol needle they use, because (unless you are odd and constructed funky) you have a lot more nerve endings in the finger than the arm.

Poor guy, he asked me to squeeze the thing a few times so he could find a vein, and had an awful time deciding which of the three or four good ones to use. I wasn't surprised but he was.
The needle almost came out at first, and he had to readjust it to maximise flow. I am not sure if I scared them or not with the fast pace at which the bag filled, but they kept making exclamations...it was a little unnerving. I half expected them to start running around, waving their arms and screaming "We got a gusher! I think we hit an artery!" Well, maybe not, but they certainly weren't as used to it as MOTN and I are. I thought it was fast when they took it before, but that was nothing to the speed the larger needle enabled.
Cool...

Then they are all like "Are you dizzy? Don't get up till you are strong enough, now." I wanted to roll my eyes but I was too polite. I've been drinking a lot of Gatorade to make up for the loss of fluid, but the "aftereffects" or such are MIA. Guess I have lost more then that with my various injuries. (No, T2 might have, but I have never bled that much. I am too smart. Complete control over blood flow and heart rate. It's a gift, what can I say?)
My dear and caring Friend who shall remain unnamed, made the snide, but humorous comment that I was drinking Gatorade to make up for the Gatorade they took out. Ha Ha. Very funny. (It's actually more likely to be Dr. Pepper anyway.)

Here is some cool Facts:
"Each blood donation is assigned a unique computer barcode number, which will identify it throughout its path from the donor to a hospital patient. Immediately after the blood donation, the blood is placed in transport containers designed to keep it at a safe temperature until it reaches a Red Cross component laboratory. Samples of the blood donation are simultaneously sent to one of nine Red Cross National Testing Laboratories to be tested for transmissible diseases. In the component lab, the blood is separated into its components: red blood cells, platelets and plasma. The products are then placed in quarantined, temperature-controlled refrigeration units until the test results are received (usually 12-16 hours later) and the blood can be released for distribution or destroyed. From local distribution centers, the blood is transported to hospitals based on patient need. Hospital personnel then transfuse the blood or blood products to a patient in need. "
-http://www.givelife2.org/donor/faq.asp

"Donation
The donor lies supine on a cushioned bench and extends an arm. The inner elbow is disinfected, and a cannula is inserted into the median cubital vein. A large bore needle is used to prevent hemolysis. The donor often has a tourniquet wrapped around his or her arm, or may be prompted to squeeze a ball repeatedly, to help speed the process. Blood flows from the vein, through the needle and a tube, and into a special collection bag which is placed on a small scale to measure the amount of blood withdrawn. After the bag is sufficiently filled, several test tubes are drawn from the same needle to be used for disease detection. Typically, around 450 millilitres, about a U.S. pint, is drawn during the blood donation process. The blood is stored in a blood bag which contains acid citrate dextrose, an anticoagulant which prevents blood clotting and preserves the blood for long periods of time.

Apheresis
Rather than donating whole blood, a donor sometimes has the option to donate only some blood components while retaining others. This process is known as apheresis, and is more involved, time consuming, and requires more specialized equipment. The benefit is that more of the desired components can be concentrated and removed, and the donor is usually able to donate significantly more frequently than if whole blood had been removed. In some cases, the usefulness of the removed components is not as sensitive to blood type considerations. Additionally, donors with high platelet counts can be divided in what is referred to as a "split" or "double" and a single donation can be used for two future transfusions. A "triple" donation is possible, but requires a very high platelet count in the donor and specific equipment and setup.
The typical method of apheresis is to draw whole blood from the donor, then centrifuge the blood to separate its components (see apheresis for more information). The desired components (e.g. platelets, plasma) are removed and then the remaining components are returned to the donor.

"Double red"
A recent innovation in apheresis is the "double red" donation, which extracts two units of red blood cells instead of the single unit of an ordinary whole-blood donation. This provides several benefits to both the donor and the blood bank. The donor can make the same red-cell contribution with half the visits, and the return of plasma to the body leaves the donor better hydrated. The process takes somewhat longer than a standard donation (about 35-45 minutes), but is much shorter than a regular apheresis visit. The blood bank receives twice the usual red-cell donation in each visit. Patients who require the blood will then not be as susceptible to rejection, as there will be fewer sources and less mixture. Because more red cells are removed from the circulatory system, donors must meet some additional health requirements for a double-red donation.

Storage
Cryopreservation of red blood cells is done to store special, rare red blood cells for up to 10 years. The ten year outdate is not based on any specific research; it was chosen arbitrarily.[citation needed] Some blood banks maintain truly rare red blood cells past ten years because there are no alternative sources. The cells are first incubated in a 40% glycerol solution which acts as a cryoprotectant ("antifreeze") within the cells. The units are then placed in special sterile containers in a deep freezer at less than -60 °C.


Physical trauma can occur at the needle site, generally due to poor needle placement. Serious problems can occur if the needle strikes an artery (Arterial stick) or damage the nerve, but both are extremely rare. Infections at the needle site (phlebitis) are unlikely because of the aggressive site preparation, but are theoretically possible.

Bruising of the arm (Hematoma) in the area of the needle insertion is not uncommon. It is almost always harmless and fades away after a week or two. One study found the incidence of bruising to be less than 1%;[16] anecdotally, donors have reported widely varying incidences. Donors who have had clotting problems or are on high doses of anticoagulants are typically deferred because of their higher risks for these complications.

A donor effectively burns about 650 calories by donating one pint of blood. "

We will abandon it a All

We will abandon it all for the sake of the call

No other reason at all but the sake of the call

Wholly devoted to live and to die for the sake of the call

Nobody stood and applauded them

So they knew from the start

This road would not lead to fame

All they really knew for sure

Was Jesus had called to them

He said "come follow Me" and they came

With reckless abandon, they came

Empty nets lying there at the water's edge

Told a story that few could believe

And none could explain

How some crazy fisherman agreed to go where Jesus went

With no thought to what they would gain

For Jesus had called them by name

And they answered...

We will abandon it all for the sake of the call

No other reason at all but the sake of the call

Wholly devoted to live and to die for the sake of the call

The sake of the call

Drawn like the rivers are drawn to the sea

There's no turning back, for the water cannot help but flow

Once we hear the Savior's call, we'll follow wherever He leads

Because of the love He has shown

And because He has called us to go

We will answer...

We will abandon it all for the sake of the call

No other reason at all but the sake of the call

Wholly devoted to live and to die

Not for the sake of a creed or a cause

Not for a dream or a promise

Simply because it is Jesus who called

And if we believe we'll obey

We will abandon it all for the sake of the call

No other reason at all but the sake of the call

We will abandon it all for the sake of the call

No other reason at all but the sake of the call

Wholly devoted to live and to die for the sake of the call

For the sake of the call

I will be here

Tomorrow morning if you wake up

And the sun does not appear

I, I will be here

If in the dark, we lose sight of love

Hold my hand and have no fear

I, I will be here

I will be here when you feel like being quiet

When you need to speak your mind, I will listen

I will be here when the laughter turns to crying

Through the winnin', losin' and tryin', we'll be together

'Cause I will be here

Tomorrow morning if you wake up

and the future is unclear

I, I will be here

As sure as seasons are made for change

Our lifetimes are made for years

So I, I will be here

I will be here and you can cry on my shoulder

When the mirror tells us we're older

I will hold you

And I will be here

To watch you grow in beauty

And tell you all the things you are to me

I will be here

I will be true to the promise I have made

To you and to the One who gave you to me

And just as sure as seasons are made for change

Our lifetimes are made for years

So I, I will be here

We'll be together

I will be here

It's beginning to....

There are soggy, dead worms all over campus....~~~

OK, first of all, it's just rain. Not even acid rain, 'cause although that happens, it certainly isn't happening now. The drops aren't going to burn tiny holes in your body, or eat your skin off.

And second, do you really think putting your hand, or book, or paper or whatever other ineffectual item, up there is going to make a lick of difference in how wet you get?

You might as well just accept with dignity and grace the fact that nature has no discrimination whatsoever. And if you really think that by hunching your shoulders, or running you are somehow going to escape it's notice, you are delusional.

If you don't like rain, get an umbrella or stay indoors. Otherwise, you should know I will feel free to mock you.

~~~

I like rain. I always have. I don't remember if I was a water baby or not, but I do know I am a fish wannabe. If there is water...I like it. Rivers-n-lakes, Ponds-n-puddles, rain-n-snow, oceans-n-seas, baths-n-showers, fogs-n-mists, sprinklers-n-hoses, spring or soda. Water in general and every form. I think I am part mermaid.

Except I wear more clothes then they do...

I saw a flock of MOOSEN!

~~~~~~

I remember my teacher asked me, “Brian, what’s the ‘i’ before ‘e’ rule?”
“Um…I before e always.”
“What are you, an idiot, Brian?”
“Apparently.”
So she explains it, “No, Brian, it’s:
‘i’ before ‘e’ except after ‘c’ and when sounding like ‘a’ as in neighbor and weighand on weekends and holidaysand all throughout Mayand you’ll always be wrongno matter what you say.”
That’s a hard rule. That’s a rough rule.
Plurals were hard, too.
“Brian, how do you make a word a plural?”
“You put a ‘s’…put a ‘s’ at the end of it.”
“When?”
“On weekends and holidays.”
“No, Brian. Let me show you.” So she asked this kid who knew everything. Irwin. “Irwin, what’s the plural for ox?”
“Ox. Oxen. The farmer used his oxen.”
“Brian?”
“What?”
“Brian, what’s the plural for box?”
“Boxen. I bought 2 boxen of doughnuts.”
“No, Brian, no. Let’s try another one. Irwin, what’s the plural for goose?”
“Geese. I saw a flock of geese.”
“Brian?”
[Exasperated laughing]“Wha-a-at?”
“What’s the plural for moose?”
“Moosen! I saw a flock of MOOSEN! There were many of ‘em. Many much moosen. Out in the woods…in the wood-es…in the woodsen. The meese want the food in the woodesen…food is the eatenesen…the meese want the food in the woodesenes…food in the woodesenes.”
“Brian. Brian! You’re an imbecile.”
“Imbecilen!”
“What? Are you speaking German, Brian?”
“German…Germaine…Germaine…Jackson…Jackson 5…Tito!”
“Brian, what in the world are you talking about?”
“I don’t know. I don’t know, really.”

Life? Don't talk to me about life.

Life... is like a box of chocolates.
A cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that nobody ever asks for. Nonreturnable, because all you get back is another box of chocolates. You're stuck with this undefinable whipped-mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down when there's nothing else left to eat. Sure, once in a while, there's a peanut butter cup, or an English toffee. But they're gone too fast, the taste is fleeting. So you end up with nothing but broken bits, filled with hardened jelly and teeth-crunching nuts, and if you're desperate enough to eat those, all you've got left is a... is an empty box... filled with useless, brown paper wrappers.

There we go!

Let us expand.....

Why do we (the scientific world) find it so hard to expand beyond a singularly flawed misconception? Even if they come up with some other theory to explain away the divine origins of the universe, at least they could remain somewhat scientific and intelligent.

*Sigh*

Check it out...

"Imagine pulling the lever of a slot machine and the only way to win is to hit the jackpot two hundred and fifty times in a row. The odds are against you. Yet, these are the same odds that would have to be overcome for the simplest life-form to evolve and form each of the two hundred and fifty proteins by random chance. It’s seemingly impossible.Little was known about the complexities of a single cell when Darwin birthed his theory of evolution. Microscopes weren’t yet powerful enough to observe below the cellular level of life; and thus, the concept of a single cell was like that of a mud hut—very simple.Today we are learning more and more about what it takes for life to form. Beyond the statistical improbabilities of evolution, we’ve learned that the single cell is not at all like a mud hut; but rather, more complex than a galaxy. In fact, for a dinosaur to evolve a single wing, all five systems in a cell would have to change identically at the same time—something that Darwin could never have imagined.So, the complexities of the single cell quickly lead us beyond Darwin, or so that’s where research scientist Dr. Richard Sternberg thinks the evidence leads. Yet, when he gave credit to intelligent design in a Smithsonian science journal, he found himself the object of a massive campaign to smear his reputation. But Sternberg’s not the only one: multitudes of scientists who begin questioning Darwin’s theory of evolution are quickly “shut-up” by their employers, the media, the educational system, and even the courts.Ben Stein, former Presidential speech writer, public speaker, and game show host sought to uncover why scientists are losing their jobs, can’t get tenure, or are denied publication in scientific journals when Darwinism is questioned. He quickly found that evolutionists would rather believe we are “nothing more than mud animated by lightning” than to believe humankind carries “the spark of the divine.” Disturbed by his findings, Stein is going on record with a major theater release, interviewing numbers of scientists who were openly ridiculed and ostracized for even suggesting intelligent design. The film, fittingly titled Expelled, is scheduled for a wide theater release in April.Creation Science Evangelism was recently given the opportunity to prescreen the film and believes it is a “must see.” Viewers will be stunned by the admissions of evolutionists whose strategies are focused solely on injecting Darwinian doctrine into everyday life. We’ve created a resource center at where you can find more information about the upcoming film, view trailers, download leaders’ guides, and win free tickets to see Expelled in your area.Please do all you can to support this film and blow the whistle on the suppression of intelligent design and academic freedom."

Interesting, to say the least...but not really surprising.

The danger involved in chewing on thumbtacks, (well, one of the dangers...) is that when you reach up quickly to pop your neck, you end up sticking it almost all the way into your finger. And it is painful. And bleeds. A lot.

A/S/L? Spare us all from a fate such as this...

Of all the pop-culture, mass-populace stupidity that is running rampant, one that is particularly degenerate and carnality filled is the "Chat rooms" movement. I can't even get started because I could go on for a mile....but I won't, because I know that there are few who agree with me on this.

EWWW.....

March comes in like a lion.....

"The storm, which rolled in Friday, dumped 20.4 inches of snow on Columbus, breaking the city's previous record of 15.3 inches set in February 1910, the weather service said. Cincinnati and Cleveland also received about a foot of snow."

Check it out...

I've never really thought clearly (or to much extent) about it, but being here in the land of Perpetual Precipitation serves to increase the time spent on thinking of rain/snow/weather, so light should have dawned by now. Well, I had an epiphany in class this morning. Dr.B Sr was talking about the passage in Psalms where it says, "purge me with hyssop and cleanse me whiter then snow." and the premise is that snow is rain and rain is moisture wrapped around a dust particle of some time, and therefore snow is not completely white, but has a core of grime as it's basis...David was speaking not of salvation but of spiritual cleansing of the core of self-centered-ness in himself. Cool imagery, but not my epiphany. It just hit me like a flash that one of the reasons it rains (snows, etc.) a lot up here is the higher level of molecules in the air. Denser air, more pollution, etc. Now, L1 is the physicist in the family, but every now and then I tend to enjoy it as well. Just as long as he or some other smarter person isn't around to correct my misconceptions and errors. Please, no comments.
