Not a blast, but....

puhleez, kids are SO overindulged and treated these days that it's ridiculous. I was a kid in the 60s/70s and everybody I know recalls the same memories.... If you stepped foot in a resturant once a YEAR, it was a miracle. That was for your parents to go out and do. Nowadays you can't go into a restaurant without listening to mobs of screaming toddlers throwing silverware on the floors and breaking up crackers everywhere. Same with theaters... We NEVER went to a walk in theater, it was the drive-in or nothing. Of course now that there are no drive ins, I guess people could keep their kids home to watch the DVD until they're old enough to sit still and quiet at the movies. And finally, as for vacations... We went on car trips, sat in the back seat without any DVD or video game. And we had fun. But we certainly didn't feel entitled to do everything our parents did. Kids today want it all. I think it's perfectly okay for 2 people to have a few days to themselves without guilt. I'm sure their kids do p-l-e-n-t-y.

Blast away
I couldn't care less how any one responds to my posts. This is not real life and I don't get emotional over this board other than to laugh at the cat fights.
If I need to vent, I talk to real people.
that's a blast from the past
I remember that term from years ago.
I did a Google search and the closest I got was a Maxwell Sweetheart retractor: http://www.snowdenpencer.com/snowden/dspcatalog.nsf/b7e010000d3e8e708525666e004dfec2/0174ad87011670c085256673005b0e34?OpenDocument
If you read the first paragraph, it's referring to the shape of the blade ... so my guess is if you can have a heart-shaped blade with a retractor, why not with the tenaculum.
Op notes are a blast (well for me they are fun!)
I love doing them personally. If you can find someone who is willing to let you kinda slowly wade in, it really is something you should try out. You have to be adept at using all of your resources, i.e. books and internet, and you should have a good grasp on basic anatomy. You really should have some sort of bonafide surgical word book at your fingertips as well. If you can give it a shot, I say go for it! It never hurts to learn something new 
He's about as cool as a blast furnace
You're kidding, right? This guy's an idiot.
Met at a beer blast in college -nm

Why don't you read the post before you blast it?
???
a dumb question (please don't blast me) ... sm
First, let me say that I too HATE our jobs being outsourced. Not only for the ill effects to US MTs, but especially the slave wages paid to Indian MTs to line the pockets of more greedy and overpaid CEOs. It is sickening.
My question, however, is what exactly is so bad about medical records being sent outside of the country? I just don't understand why everyone seems so adamant that this is an awful thing, mentioning homeland security, privacy issues, etc. Other than loss of our jobs as MTs, what is the danger and concern? Just curious.
don't blast me please..I didn't notice that stupid
 long morning.
In college in the room next to our, they would blast Grateful Dead music all day - sm
we retaliated by blasting AC/DC. They got the point and stopped blaring their music. I'd pound on the walls and ask her to keep it down because you are trying to work, might help, it she gets louder and more obnoxious I'd call the police, disturbing the peace and all. She won't appreciate it but it would sure make a point, and if she kept it up you just keep calling the police. Good luck.
