LJ Idol Presents:

- I just finished Outlast, and I'm miserable, and my friends are cackling and drinking my tears, so they're going to be making me play the DLC. Why do I always play the most depressing goddamn video games, seriously.

- I have some kratom samples coming in tomorrow. Hella.

- Something productive

From:

...I unfortunately just did something productive, ruining the lie. *hangs head in shame* (But now that I've prepared flashcards and studying materials it's slightly less likely I'll fail my next exam. But only slightly. Oh God there are so many antibiotics and I have to memorize them all)

From:

Lemme test my memory...!

roxithromycin
clarithromycin
erythromycin
gentamycin
trimethoprim
azithromycin
clindamycin
flucloxacillin

penicillin
ciprofloxacillin
phenoxymethylpenicillin
amoxycillin

tobramycin
mupirocin
cefalexin
cefaclor
ceftriaxone
metronidazole
sulfadiazine
doxycycline
tetracycline
minocycline
fusidic acid
tinidazole

Do you reckon I got a tenth of them?! Probably not!

From:

An impressive start! You got most of what I have to memorize. (Though, you missed artemisinin and quinine, off the top of my head.)

Now discuss the chemical structures, mechanism of action, and target organisms for each.

From:

Also if I ever do drag it'll be under the name Roxi Thromycin. Mostly because I want everybody who isn't in medicine or biology to go home and stay up that night thinking "Throw...mice...in? Rocks ... the ... ? I don't get it. I'm sure it's obvious. Shit."

That's a sexy as hell sounding "name." I love it. I would be one of those people trying to figure it out, too. xD

From:

My knowledge is the result of 15 years of pharmacy tech-ing while I was at uni getting a completely unrelated PhD (and various other degrees), so it's not much more than name deep, unfortunately. Though there are a few I know a bit more about...

All my pharmacology at uni was for clinical psychology and neurology specific meds; anxiolytics, antipsychotics, SSRIs, MAOIs, tricyclics, antiepileptics, antiparkinsonians, opioids, benzos, etc.

A fact for which I am super glad, because, yikes! THERE ARE SO MANY DIFFERENT KINDS!

I'm sure you've heard the old pharmacy jokes about mycoxafloppin and mydixadroopin...!!

From:

Learning about antibiotics is really interesting to me, because I'm a problem solver, a practical person, I can never stand things like books of philosophy or aimless political chatter. I was probably much more suited to become a crafstman. But it's fascinating, seeing the cause and effect - here's the problem, here's the cure, and here's how it works. And it's often something ingenious. I love medicine when it's clever, it gives me happy brain.

...all the same, my eyes kinda glazed over after the first or second acronym up there. Ufff. I'd be a terrible pharmacist.

I'd be more apt to go with Doxy Cycline myself, although Penny Cillin would also be amusing! :)

The weekend's half-over already (yay timezones!) but tomorrow I am going to:

- bake 48 muffins, banana cake and chocolate brownies
- mow the lawn
- tidy my car

From:

I'm betting the car will still be a mess.
You have twins, baking's a given

From:

jexia

Hahaha, well done!

From:

From:

My weekend's not quite as far gone as Jexia's, but close enough

I have cut out two trailer loads of undergrowth from my back yard

I am spending the weekend with the woman who completes me

I'm making meatloaf for dinner tonight

It's Sunday here in 51 minutes. BOOOOOO!!!

From:

Been Sunday for 36 minutes now. And that means I have work tomorrow

From:

Urgh, saaaame. Worst news. I should probably go to bed! Haha.

From:

Yay for being completed!

From:

Alas, that one was the lie :(

From:

:( *hugs*

From:

Weekend just started! I am loading the rick with pine instead of oak because it's not thatcold and woodstove temps can be regulated with fuel choice. Then I'm going to bake clean bread. And this evening will have a smexy someone shampoo and rinse my hair in the overflowing rain barrel....

Yep.

From:

Bread is my favorite food. *high five* What's the difference between clean bread and...I dunno. Dirty bread. Other bread. (It really is my favorite, but I'm too simple when it comes to my food to know much about this stuff.)

I wish I had a wood stove here. They did when I lived in my grandfather's house as a kid - a cord of wood once a year is less expensive than having to fill that oil tank. And you really lose nothing over burning oil, especially if your house was designed to be heated like this. (Plus, I like to chop wood, it helps me think - me and my brother do the chopping every year anyway, but the fireplace in my parents' house is just an indulgence. That and we'll have at least one snowstorm this year that makes the power inevitably go out.)

From:

"Clean" meaning the ingredients are as close to remembering where they came from as a food item can be. Raw milk, deep well water, ground wheat flour....and yeast. :)

We have no air or heat in this house. No need for an air conditioner as summers are mild. A few nights out of the summer you can't sleep upstairs but outside is great! Winters are cold and we do need to heat and use a woodstove. We have our own wood lot and cut and split and burn five cords a season. I love a wood fire but there's no question....that second-hand smoke is an issue. Haven't they discovered now (the ubiquitous and mysterious they) that folks routinely died of lung cancer for centuries and centuries from heating/cooking fires?
