You guys were great trying to help me with french

Can someone come here and explain the word NO to me? I just volunteered for something very time intensive. However,it's very important to me. Some of you know I was nearly military. I wanted to be. I have regreted nothing more than not getting to follow that path. I signed up for the veterans' commitee and we had our first meeting. One of the thing they want are veteran only advisors (or at least ones skilled in veteran needs) and those knowledgable about the military, PTSD, TBI and the like. Well my school doesn't have a single veteran professor. All they have is me. A former VA doctor. I volunteered. It might take special training. I'm willing. I think this could be one of the single most important things I do at this school and if I were to leave, this is the experience that makes me more marketable. But it is not without risk being the go to person if a vet has a meltdown. I've been that person before too. I've been beaten down to the ground and had bones in my face broken during my residency. Am I willing to risk this again? To help our veterans, yes I am. Have i mentioned this will increase my work load?

On another note, I'm really sad my computer isn't here yet and this computer won't take my Dragon program because OMFG does my hand hurt. It's involuntarily cramping up. It's numb. It's making life sad.

Loved seeing LeVar Burton and Wil Wheaton on TBBT tonight. GEEK OUT.

My parents called me tonight: Mom - what was the disease baby turtles carry?

Me - salmonella. Remember my turtles?

Mom (ignoring my question) it's salmonella.

Dad - she's faster than the internet. I'm not even going to look things up. I'm just going to call her.

Me - REMEMBER MY TURTLES

Dad - we didn't know any better back then.

not really my point.I miss my turtles.

Ugh another bad sugar night (nowhere near as bad as monday) it fried my brain. only wrote a little but Temple's dad is just about to find out Temple's new partner is a girl.

Good luck volunteering for the veterans committee! You told me a bit about being a VA doctor when you helped me some with my Big Bang. I too am sorry this experience will be great!

The mention of turtles reminds me of when my family bought two baby turtles at Los Angeles. We had them for maybe less than six months and then my parents decided to let them go (can't remember why). My mom told me when she was putting them away at a park one kid wanted those turtles and she gave them to him. XD

I think my turtles died of soft shell
