Spring "Recess"

[Gemm: Rock & Roll Star; Born to Rock]

So, I've been thinking. Let's not spend this spring break at home working and just lolling about. So Entropy, mind spending a week with me?   Hahah, but seriously, from March 5th until the 12th I'm off. So, if anyone in Utah wouldn't mind putting me up for the week I could add some spice to your life. This is just spurious thinking. Only put a mindful of salt into this.

Gemm, I have spring break the same week. Myself, I'm going to try to spend at least some of it in New York interviewing. The rest will be spent getting ready for the next weekend, which I'm going to be spending in Florida presenting a paper.

Cool, hopefully someone will read this and say "Hey, I'll put you up for the week." I don't mind couches. I slept on our couch at home for my winter break.

Come over with a pc, boyo.

[Gemm: Rock & Roll Star; Born to Rock]

Heh, alright! =P Maybe next year I'll travel overseas. I still want to be able to give blood.  

[stacer]

You'd still be able to give blood. You'd have to have lived there for something like 3 to 6 months to be ruled out. I can still give blood, and I was there for two weeks.

[Entsuropi]

?

[Spriggan]

You and me both Entropy.

[stacer]

People who travel or live more than three months in the UK and six months in continental Europe are denied from donating blood in the U.S. because of the pathogens they may have picked up--particularly Mad Cow, I think.

...and whatever disease it is that causes bad teeth.

[Entsuropi]

Oh. Amusingly, we have a law that states that all animals must go into Quarantine if they come from the outside. Means that the UK is a rabies free country. Rawr.

Ah yes... the only genetic evidence that my great-grandmother was Native American - my teeth.

(I'm actually not kidding 'bout this one)

[stacer]

Isn't there some genetic difference in palate shape or something? I remember reading something like that.

[House of Mustard]

Are your two top front teeth bent slightly inward?  That's really common in the southwest indians.

[fuzzyoctopus]

Correct, Mustard.

I was so tickled when i found that out. (One of my Mexican coworkers explained it to me.) Nothing else in my physiology belies my native american genetic material.  I was just relieved that there was something that had gotten past the German and Dutch ambush.
