I actually love the new OSX feature where you can text and answer calls from your macbook. I use it a lot more than I thought I would when I was trying out the beta at first.

For phones, I've used both iPhone (jailbroken) and my girlfriend's SGS3 (rooted). I enjoy using both. Android for sure has heaps more customization points than the iPhone does. But jailbroken, it's not bad and I've managed to not switch over to Android for over 3 years now.

I think you should check out the weather tech mat for your cargo area. I have their all weather floor mats and they're awesome. What I really like is that the rear mat is one piece, so it covers the hump as well.


Edit; Actually, I don't think they make the cargo liner for the wagon.

If you have android you can download the pushbullet app on your phone and PC and answer/send texts directly on your PC. You can't answer calls but a notification will pop up on your PC. Its all really seamless too, once you turn it one once you never have to mess with it again. Even if I'm at School, notifications will pop up on home PC.. which may or may not be a good thing..

I was looking into that a couple days ago and here's the list I came up with:
2x 51686-TA0-A01
1x 51675-TA0-A02
10x 90300-S84-A00
4x 51728-SR0-003
8x 51631-SL0-003
4x 51621-S84-A01
4x 90364-SG0-004
1x 51676-TA0-A02
1x 52686-SDA-A01
2x 52675-TA0-A01

Should be right around $100.

Oh, and that includes a set of 10 nuts that mount the strut to the car body. You can reuse the ones that are holding the stock parts in place but I priced them out because of anal retentiveness.

Having a sore throat + stuffy nose sucks. Esp since I was fine when everyone else seemed to have the cold, but now everyone's fine, except me.

^I just got over a cold. I dont think it was the flu tho.

sore throat and phlegm in my chest
<---asthmatic

so the congested chest isnt new to me.
no fever or body aches...that I know of.

it lasted about a week and a half.

if it was the flu, it was pretty weak.

^no matter how hard I coughed, I couldnt cough up the phlegm.

i didnt want to try mucinex because then i'd be mucusing every where. lol.

it finally passed when my cough subsided; thus i think it was just a common cold.

I know how that feels. I have a week coming up with 3 24 hour shifts, gonna be a killer. But after that I get a free week in Orlando, as I am presenting at a NICU conference


Hang in there bud.

Basically. At least I got a 2011+ TSX. Chalk one up as win.

It's funny I looked on reddit and saw a handful of posts saying their M7's just randomly died. Clearly a widespread issue with HTC and not an isolated circumstance.

just saying



also have seen both docs and dentists fail because they might be a great doc or dentist BUT have no sense when it comes to business.
Not exactly sure I get the correlation/point trying to be made. Is the vet making double the money?

To be honest, if I wasn't to pursue something medical related, it would probably be economics or something. So not to worried about the business aspect.

Self satisfaction in profession or $?

For me satisfaction, its worth it. $ wise, it isn't worth it. PA is doing much better, in shorter amount of time

Dentist is good, but quite competitive in a big city, plus its quite expensive vs med school.
A combination of them all. Money, satisfaction and actually putting in the time to become one. I have family members currently working to become doctors. Two of them went to the Caribbean as they weren't accepted over here. I think my cousin is already 29 and I'm not sure exactly how more time he has till he actually becomes a doctor. I think he's in the process of taking those USMLE tests.

For me I am too old to be a gamer or use it for other things. I use email, phone, text, and TONS Of med apps. I need the apps to measure/medicine in the middle of the night, due to my patient population.

However, to me it reminds me of old computers, Over the years they would get slow, shut down, do funky things.

I am not in IT and have no clue about these things. Everyone around me, just says get an Iphone.

My brother in law is an exec at apple, so i get a great discount through him, but I have been anti apple products for ever. My office also gives me a $500/yearly tech allowance that I can use to buy a tech product that I use at work.

I am thinking of caving in, as all the med apps on the apple products that my associates use, has no issues.


99% of medical professionals have no business sense. Which is why they are often easy targets/victims of many industry (mortgage/finance etc).
Like iCrap said, you're best to just stick with an iPhone. Way more user friendly compared to Android, which offers more customization for us hipsters. But looks like this short little spiel doesn't matter as you already bought one.

4 year med school
3 year residency
2-3 year fellowship.


Age when you finish, just depends on when you start

Oh shit, Didn't realize you were in ORL! The conference is at Hilton Orlando-Bonnet Creek.

Can you recommend some good food locally?




Also don't hate Kobe Bryant. Life long laker fan. However, I am not a Kobe fanboi like the rest of the losers in LA. I know well enough to when to cut your losses.

Bleh, that's so long. That's 9-10 years, maybe even 10% of my life! (if I can make it to 100 )

I think that is near all the Disney hotels? Disney is supposed to have some really good restaurants, so I'd look into that. Other than that, depends how far you're willing to drive away from that location and what you're in the mood for.

Yeah his contract was pretty ridiculous for a declining player. I do agree his time is done and there's nothing he can really do anymore that would make him relevant.

I bought it at Home Depot, but you should be able to find it at most places. Window tint place near me uses it. Smells 10x better, cleans just as good if not better and sprays as a foam compared to liquid. I just like it a lot better. Started to use it in the house instead now too.

thanks. My Costco windex is almost finished, so will check yours out. Home depot is 1.5 miles form here.


When I lived in the NE, I used RainX ..it came as a foam too.


Yeah length of time is forever. I think its next to Disney. Not sure, haven't been to Disney over there.


I prefer Asian food (Thai/Chinese/Malay etc)

Wagon, you should hit up Texas de Brazil if you've never been to one before. It's right down town, near all the big malls. Don't go to Disney/downtown Disney to eat, it's overpriced and the restaurants aren't that great.
