I did the opposite about 5? years ago. Went down to San Diego for 3 days, drove up to Vegas and spent the week. Vegas was okay. I loved San Diego. I wish I spent more time there.
I went to the Wild Animal Park, the Zoo, wandered around San Diego and went over to Coronada on the little ferry. Drove along the coast and saw the Children's Beach that's been taken over by Sea Lions. Shopped in Horton Plaza. Ate some great food.
Things I'd also do, especially if I had a kid or two to take along, go to Marine Land, go to Balboa Park, Legoland (children in tow only), wine tour and head down to Mexico (don't know if I would now), go up to San Fran.
Vegas is good for a quick trip. I wouldn't do another week there.
The drive was neat. We had awesome weather, the only time it rained was when we crossed through the desert and that was for like 30 seconds. Did the whole shopping, shows, Hoover Dam out there.

Shower. We do 24 hour call and go back the next day (morning that your 24 hour ends). A shower is imperative to functioning. Eat healthy meals, not crap throughout the day. Have a short, no more than 1 hour nap during the day or just go to bed earlier when you get home. It's totally doable.

Things will settle out. Sid has flown and drove all over the place and as long as I'm around he settles. God forbid should something happen to me, because then he really wouldn't know what to do. And he's a gentleman and a scholar. But when we go to the vet, he can get cranky. Same as a kid at a doctor's office. I certainly wouldn't get rid of him over it.

I am terrified of a WR government.
As for the whole conscience crap, currently health care providers do not need to provide a service they do not feel aligns with their morals. However, they do need to refer you to someone with ready access that will.
So, to the PP that said the pharmacist wouldn't order in your IUD, you could have reported them to the College. Not because they refused, that's fine, but they did not make a reasonable attempt to find you a provider that would get you that service in a reasonable time.
Honestly, that ticks me right off when I hear stuff like that. The whole premise is garbage. And the practice of not getting you someone else is borderline criminal.

I was missing him too. I thought he disappeared with the split, staying on the "Canadian Family" side while I'm here on the "don't fit the bill with them because I'm single". I wish he'd come back. Although come to think of it, I saw a Can Fam magazine today and could have spit on it thinking of them discriminating against me for my family of one. Jerks.

Well my numbers have steadily gone down. I had three. One in my living room, one in my kitchen (it was a little mini wall mount, loved it for cooking. Loved), and one in my bed room. Then I left the house and moved into an apartment so technically I still own the own in the house, but I don't have it and I went to two. THen I had to move again so now I will have one. Just in the living room.
So, my answer is 1. Sorry it was so long.

Yup, been there, done that enjoyed it. Highway 43 is actually one of my fav drives in Canada. The mountains are beautiful. Depends on how long you want to stop and how many places you want to go to. The drive out to Canmore is an hour, it's an hour and a half ish to Lake Louise and maybe another hour past that to the Icefields (fine print all times are approximate, I tend to wander over to Field and Emerald Lake and Peyto or Morraine and Louise along the way). I'm not a fan of Jasper so I don't spend a lot of time there. You can more than adequately do it in a weekend, long weekend even better. The tour on the glacier is neat because really, how often do you do that? I've been and don't need to do it again. Any other recommendations?

I didn't love my old job. The pay was great, the hours were decent, I was able to do what I trained to do, but it was only okay. The staff were grouchy, lots of in fighting, it was like being back in hs again. So when life fell apart and an opportunity came along, I took it. I quit my job and went back to school. I no longer have a paycheck. I am in massive, massive debt. I mean to the point where some people's mortgages are smaller than my student loans. And while that scares the bejeebers out of me, I'm so happy I did it. I worked one day yesterday at my old job. One shift in 2 months. Within 15 minutes I was hating every second of it. So yeah, good decision on my part. I do not want to spend my days at something I despise, especially when you spend most of your day at work.

I haven't done it in a while, but for sure be willing to walk away.
And I asked for everything. Cheaper price, better trade in value, free mats, autostart, front rock guard, anything and everything. We dickered back and forth over what I'd get.
Lesson I learned? Have it in writing. My contract said autostart. They forgot to put it in and I couldn't wait. I said I'd be back later, but I wanted the refund as I wasn't paying full price. They said it was $300 and I said so if I come back in a week and want it, it's $300? They said yes and I made them write it down. I called a week later and the price was $1000. I told them I'd get it for $300 like the contract said or they could take back their car. After much fighting and me saying their bs wouldn't hold up in contract law, I got what I wanted. Except the day I drove up to get it installed the installers said, oh, they didn't say you'd pay for it, so don't worry. And I got it for free.
That's right. I rock.

I don't know if I'm going to pass my exams this year and yet I can't get motivated to study. After 13 years I'm sick of freaking studying.
I try to be open minded, but I judge. When people whine about pointless things I think their life must be boring if they have that much time to waste.
Some days I would like a family. Some days reading the posts here and listening to people complain about their children IRL makes me happy I don't. Some days I think I should just be single and fancy free, but then when I'm old and retired will I look back and realize my life has no purpose?
I spent the day reading my psych book trying to diagnose a family member. I ended up diagnosing myself.
I wish I had more of a backbone. I let my family walk all over me. I'm too afraid to speak up at work. I hate that about myself.
And I'd love to know who's where on Milly's list. I've always been the geek of the group and I want to be popular. There, I admit it.

I have to give a presentation tomorrow night to a group of kids between 12 and 17. They want something light and fun. Fun facts, preferably fun medical facts. So does anyone have anything that they want to know? All my stuff is kind of lame (The 1918 influenza killed more people than all the wars fought since 1918. In fact if the same percentage of people were to die today, there would be 260 million less people in the world). But I'm weird that way and don't know what others would find exciting.
