Thanks to IMSN, I know...

Why my crap was green (thanks black icing).

That regardless of what DD does or I do as a mom, it's perfectly normal (short of grape soda in the bottle).

A whole slew of creative descriptors

[Thirteen]

Gems such as: douchecanoe, asshat, and nercited.

That I am not alone.

That people are generous and kind, even if we have never met in person.

There's a bus, and it WILL get you if you act like a jerk.

There is a way to find happiness at the end of training.

this makes my life...

that no matter where I am and no matter what time of day, someone is always here..

there is a light at the end of this horrific tunnel

[MrsK]

OMG, I don't know where to start!

Everything I ever wanted to know about breastfeeding, sleep training, childbirth, and infancy.

That medicine is a bitch and sometimes being tenatious is more important than being smart.

That there are dozens of ways to look at any situation

We-vibe

That medicine is not a pass to be an ass

[SoonerTexan]

A lot of nice people, including my child's babysitter and some of my closest friends

[peggyfromwastate]

There is always someone who can empathize with me, and tell me "it will be ok".

[v-girl]

There are some seriously adorable babies out there (especially Stinkerbelle).

[Curegirl]

What my boundaries are in a medical relationship.

There are people who are as dirty minded as me.

These same people are also so very kind, generous, and giving.

Medicine makes people retarded assholes sometimes and we are doing important humanitarian work by being the tour guides of normalcy to the socially stupid.

Love this! I think this should be our motto...after all, isn't iMSN a NPO It's our philanthropic duty!

Great topic, I was just thinking about this! I have learned, or at least a general concept has been reinforced:

1) How to make shredded chicken with only a crockpot, salsa, and chicken broth! (Seriously, where was I in home ec?)

2) I have totally been flattering myself to think that I have some sort of special corner on the market for control freak tendencies. (Seriously, group therapy?)

3) When unloading the dishwasher, I should sort the dishes on the counter before placing them in the cabinets to save time.

4) The curriculum entitled Everyday Math is one to be avoided if possible.

5) pediatric cough medicine is verbotten for little babies.

6) People can have made mistakes, wrong turns, and bad choices and still turn out o.k. You really can't predict an outcome by any one static moment.

7) Marriage and parenting is hard for everyone. Do NOT believe the Christmas letters and compare yourself. Having a Hell-come-to-Jesus isn't necessarily indicative of a bad marriage. In fact, sometimes it means you have the faith in the marriage to fight.

8) Medicine, and specifically academic medicine, has a dark, seedy underbelly. It is no more or less noble than other professions.

I do this too now!

Mmm-hmm....


Thanks to iMSN, I know
... my life is not hard
... INTJs seem disproportionally attracted to dawkters
... there are people out there that like fall as much as (or more than ) I do!
... what shalom bayit is
... what an ergo is
... about white coat investor

This list could be about a mile long.

- That that are people out there who appreciate my "eccentricities".

- That there are people on this planet who don't annoy the ever-loving fuck out of me.

- That I can consider people I've never met IRL to be some of my favorite people and good friends.

[TigerLily]

-That is's okay to wash dish rags with the rest of the laundry.

-That my husband doesn't work more than any other human being on the planet.

-That there are trees that grow multiple fruits and that I want one.

-That anything can be debated.

TigerLily, I'm gonna need to see the thread that dealt with this! I can't get over the ick factor.

- That I'm not the only one in this crazy situation. No matter how shitty and isolated I might feel today, there's someone else halfway across the country feeling exactly the same way, and there's a wonderful venue here to connect us.
