Welcome everyone, I wanted to make a post which would help you branch out and make new friends.  I've been impressed by all of your wonderful material. I think you would enjoy what your fellow gatherers have to offer. Pull up a chair, grab a drink and some food and mingle. Feel free to add the people who comment above and below you.

Erica Hidvegi May 6, 2008, 9:46pm EDT
I thought I was not going to hear from you regarding my opinion of gender-given roles for doctors to associate themselves with, i.e male gynocologists? But you are a man first and realized my intellect presented a different opinion you respected intsead of bashed. Thank you I truly appreciate that Dan or is it Daniel ?

sharing the light and happy May,

Kim ohhh I wish.... May 6, 2008, 9:47pm EDT
Everyone else.. I hope you all are well!!!
Dan H. May 6, 2008, 9:47pm EDT
Well, I got up at 5am and got to school just before 6am. Nearly 15 hours later, I'm still here (currently studying blood disorders, leukemias, and lymphomas).
Shirley ♡ ☮ M. May 6, 2008, 9:48pm EDT
Hi Dan. Roger, do you get the feeling the guy in the video isn't getting anywhere? lol
Kim ohhh I wish.... May 6, 2008, 9:49pm EDT
Ya know... I noticed.. some Chinese Food places just excel at somthings and not so great at others.. hmmm
Marva A. May 6, 2008, 9:49pm EDT
Thanks for the invite...sorry I haven't been able to join you in the morning...not usually up that early!
R o g e r .. May 6, 2008, 9:49pm EDT
Shirley, that's just the way I feel some days...like today, LOL

Photobucket
Aunt Boni H. May 6, 2008, 9:49pm EDT
Good idea, Dan. I surf around gather and find interesting articles that usually lead to a new connection, with or without much in common. But something "clicks" (Pardon the pun.) I'll take a gander at Carol Lloyd, Fred R. and Jennifer J., too.

By the way, are you finished with crunch time?

Cheers, Everyone! Let's "gather" soon!

Ant Boni
Marva A. May 6, 2008, 9:49pm EDT
Hello everyone!
Jennifer J. May 6, 2008, 9:49pm EDT
I hear you on the chinese food!
Kim ohhh I wish.... May 6, 2008, 9:50pm EDT
Roger... thats my day today!!! but then again... thats what I get for working at a hotel!!! :0)
Kim ohhh I wish.... May 6, 2008, 9:50pm EDT
its just so odd to me Jennifer... lol
Dan H. May 6, 2008, 9:51pm EDT
I do still need to get dinner don't I? It's almost 9pm here.
R o g e r .. May 6, 2008, 9:51pm EDT
Viva Mexican food, though...the Chinese is 'ok' but that's just me...Photobucket
Jennifer J. May 6, 2008, 9:51pm EDT
Dinner is a good idea. hmm...
Kim ohhh I wish.... May 6, 2008, 9:52pm EDT
Where you at Dan? I'll send over some Orange Chicken and Pork Fried Rice.. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm :-D
Aunt Boni H. May 6, 2008, 9:52pm EDT
Shirley.............neither are the cars that continue to pass him over and over and over and over...............

I can't believe I sat here and watched it for nearly a minute! (I'm easily entertained.)
Kim ohhh I wish.... May 6, 2008, 9:52pm EDT
I like Mexican too... but they don't deliver!!! lol
jJack Midknight May 6, 2008, 9:52pm EDT
great .gif file Roger, excellent. converted from video, yes? some green screen maybe?

hello fellow thread people, tell me do you know if we were invited specifically, or generically from a list? I'm feeling rather puffy chested, full of unwarranted pride from finding a cyber friend.

I am however also greatful to be touted as interesting. Thank you, I've bene working on it for years.

Now lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song and I'll try not to sing out of key.....
(lennon and mccartney of course)
Kim ohhh I wish.... May 6, 2008, 9:52pm EDT
Boni... I know how ya feel!! lol
Kim ohhh I wish.... May 6, 2008, 9:53pm EDT
jJack.. sing away buddy!!!!
Jennifer J. May 6, 2008, 9:54pm EDT
That's right it is taco night. Build your own tacos for 1.25 at the local brewery. I better walk over there!
Dan H. May 6, 2008, 9:54pm EDT
Oh, I'd love some dinner that I didn't have to make right now. I'm tired.
Kim ohhh I wish.... May 6, 2008, 9:55pm EDT
>>Passing Dan the cartons of food<< lol... Dig in dude!!

mmmmm Tacos... lol
R o g e r .. May 6, 2008, 9:56pm EDT
(jJack) I dunno, I have thousands of the things...decided recently to start using them again. From my halcyon 'myspace' days.
Lee W. May 6, 2008, 9:57pm EDT
I LOVE Chinese, but seafood's my favorite
Kim ohhh I wish.... May 6, 2008, 9:57pm EDT
Roger, I love the one floating around with the pinguin slapping the other into the water!!
Kim ohhh I wish.... May 6, 2008, 9:58pm EDT
I've never been a big seafood fan for some reason.. maybe the trout famr we lived by when we were younger... hhmmmm... I dunno
Kim ohhh I wish.... May 6, 2008, 9:59pm EDT
Alllll right guys an dolls.. gotta look like I'm working now... I'll be back
Dan H. May 6, 2008, 9:59pm EDT
Aww Kim, not fair, I've made some PB&J earlier to ward off hunger and that's all.
Lee W. May 6, 2008, 9:59pm EDT
I could live on shrimp, crab legs & lobster!
Jan S. May 6, 2008, 9:59pm EDT
I don't eat Chinese food. The exterminator at our school told me that he'd never seen one that didn't have cockroaches and rats. My son worked in one, briefly. He confirms this.
Nurse Nancy S. May 6, 2008, 9:59pm EDT
Hi, everyone. I would love to have some new friends on Gather. Feel free to check out my profile and remember to "Stay Happy and Healthy!"
R o g e r .. May 6, 2008, 10:00pm EDT
Kim, yeah, I have that one around here somewhere. Some; like that, are instant classics.
Roxanne H. May 6, 2008, 10:00pm EDT
Hey Dan what do think of the guy that invented a cure for cancer? He started out with 2 pie tins and a hot dog. It was on 60 minutes about 3 weeks ago.
Lee W. May 6, 2008, 10:01pm EDT
I knew a Chinese family that owned a restaurant for years - it was VERY clean. It was because of them that I started eating Chinese food.
Shirley ♡ ☮ M. May 6, 2008, 10:01pm EDT
Aunti Boni...so did I ....but I was watching the poor guy being put back in the same place over and over again.

Roger, I have days like that ALOT! lol
Dan H. May 6, 2008, 10:01pm EDT
Well, the misconception is that all cancers are the same. Simply, "cancer" is just a general term given for when the cell cycle goes wrong.
Marva A. May 6, 2008, 10:02pm EDT
Hi Nurse Nancy...how's your night?
Dan H. May 6, 2008, 10:02pm EDT
A cure for cancer would be like I said I had a "cure for infection". I'm not telling you if it's a virus, bacteria, fungus, or parasite, let alone which species.
Dan H. May 6, 2008, 10:03pm EDT
A sarcoma is different from a carcinoma or a lipoma. A squamous cell carcinoma is different from and adenocarcinoma and different from a small cell carcinoma, etc.
Susan V. May 6, 2008, 10:04pm EDT
Hi everyone
R o g e r .. May 6, 2008, 10:04pm EDT
The (in)famous penguin slap:

Dan H. May 6, 2008, 10:06pm EDT
Welcome Susan, feel free to add those around you.
Dan H. May 6, 2008, 10:07pm EDT
Nice roger, I'm definitely impressed by the penguins.
Dan H. May 6, 2008, 10:08pm EDT
yes, we're around. Come join in and check out each other's work.
R o g e r .. May 6, 2008, 10:09pm EDT
Thanks Dan; I had tons of these things when I was in myspace. I've only recently gone into my photobucket account and started sharing them again.

Photobucket
Dan H. May 6, 2008, 10:10pm EDT
How do you put them in your comments Roger?
Connie H. May 6, 2008, 10:12pm EDT
Dan - I love this idea and I truly wish you posted this next week, lol! But seriously, I have a report due in the morning. I have to sign off and get at it. Hope everyone enjoys it and makes lots of friends. For me it's work time:(
Delaune Michel May 6, 2008, 10:12pm EDT
Hey y'all!!!!
Dan H. May 6, 2008, 10:13pm EDT
Have you ever met any of your gather friends in real life? Have any real life friends on gather?
R o g e r .. May 6, 2008, 10:13pm EDT
You have to have them in an online storage account that generates a code...one such place (free by the way) is www.photobucket.com

There's nothing to download - you just save them there and when you post a comment, copy the html code of the one you want to use and paste it into your account like this:

PhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucket

It's really simple, collecting the stuff is hard. LOL
Dan H. May 6, 2008, 10:13pm EDT
Hey Connie, I'll see what I can do. Welcome Delaune and Ceeee.
Dan H. May 6, 2008, 10:14pm EDT
Very nice Roger, I'm impressed again!
Regina L. May 6, 2008, 10:16pm EDT
Thanks Dan
Dan H. May 6, 2008, 10:16pm EDT
I hear you Ceeee, I'm thinking of leaving the study rooms soon.
Karen W. May 6, 2008, 10:17pm EDT
Hi Dan,

So what is the difference between an sarcoma and a carcinoma? Is carcinoma caused by carcinogens?

Karen
Dan H. May 6, 2008, 10:20pm EDT
It deals with the tissue type involved. This can help you for your cancer/tumor naming:

fibro-: fibroblasts
myxo-: myxoid tissue (Wharton's jelly, etc.)
chondro-: cartilage
osteo-: osteoblasts
lipo-: fat
chordo-: notochord remnants
leiomyo-: smooth muscle
rhabdomyo-: striated muscle
schwanno- / neurilemmo- : nerve sheath (perineurium)
neurofibro-: nerve sheath (endoneurium)
hemangio-: blood vessels
lymphangio-: lymphatics
glomangio-: glomus
synovio-: synovium
mesothelio-: mesothelium
meningio-: arachnoid granulation
lympho-: lymphocytes
Dan H. May 6, 2008, 10:21pm EDT
Cancers that arise from epithelium are called "carcinomas". Cancers that arise from mesenchyme/mesoderm are called "sarcomas".
Jennifer aka Jenn B. May 6, 2008, 10:22pm EDT
I am so glad I bit and Checked you out tonight Dan...I also wanted to know how to do what Roger is doing...so cool........
Dorothy H. May 6, 2008, 10:22pm EDT

Becky B. May 6, 2008, 10:22pm EDT
hi Dan, enjoy your posts!! Great way to bring folks together.
Dan H. May 6, 2008, 10:23pm EDT
Yes Bruce, although I considered just saying, no, I work at Taco Bell but get hurt a lot.
Dan H. May 6, 2008, 10:25pm EDT
Well, I do hope that you all get a chance to meet new people and check out each other's work.
Kim ohhh I wish.... May 6, 2008, 10:27pm EDT
ROGER!!! The Slap!!! I LOVE THAT ONE.... Thank you for putting it up!!!
Jerri H. May 6, 2008, 10:28pm EDT

Hi, I'm game. I usually send a friend request to people who comment on my content. So if we're not already friends (or even if you already are), comment on some of my content!
R o g e r .. May 6, 2008, 10:40pm EDT
Well it was a good use of an hour for me, I think...

Guess I'm going to call it a day and bail on you. Have a great night all!

Kelly L. May 6, 2008, 10:41pm EDT
hey, kids! I have two new podcasts up. take a listen and comment back here or on the podcast(s) themselves. They were recorded at the NY Comic Con.
Donald M. May 6, 2008, 10:42pm EDT
Dan , I was trying to catch up with my kiddo Kim, before she signed off. Goodnight to you and probably her too.
Amy B. May 6, 2008, 10:44pm EDT
Sounds like a great idea! Thanks for the invite.
Tina W. May 6, 2008, 10:48pm EDT
Thanks.
Amy B. May 6, 2008, 10:49pm EDT
Looks like I was a little late! Oh well.
Kim ohhh I wish.... May 6, 2008, 10:50pm EDT
Roger... Love 'em!!! I can't stop laughing!!!!!

Momma... I'm still around... just floating!! lol

Hi everybody!

Sorry I haven't been around much Dan. Couldn't figure out where I was in Gatherland ~ lol.

Blessings ~

Georgiana S. May 6, 2008, 11:00pm EDT
Welcome one and all!
Laura C. May 6, 2008, 11:07pm EDT
Georgiana, I love your name...my best friend kindgergarten through senior year was named that...


hi everyone!
Dan H. May 6, 2008, 11:08pm EDT
Well, I just spent 16 hours at school. I only left the building once to walk to another building to get lunch and then walk back. Sad.
Dan H. May 6, 2008, 11:09pm EDT
I'm definitely feeling pooped though.
Kim ohhh I wish.... May 6, 2008, 11:20pm EDT
Ok... someone PLEASE tell me whats with the trains?!
Dan H. May 6, 2008, 11:21pm EDT
anyone on the winning team will supposedly earn 50 gather points. The leader of the color will earn more.
Hi Dan! Great idea!
Dan H. May 6, 2008, 11:23pm EDT
What would you look for in a full body transplant? Want to switch for a day?
haha, I am looking for one that does not hurt all the time. Gots some back troubles that I am gonna have to have surgery for. I am not sure how I would do with a gender switch though..LOL
Dan H. May 6, 2008, 11:28pm EDT
Well, I hear you, hence why I was saying a day or maybe a weekend at most. I'm not sure what life would be like as a woman. Life as a man is possibly easier. I'm sorry to hear about the back pain.
Dan, I am certain that I would be getting the better end of that deal. I would not want your gender switching event to be riddled with back pain. :-) Sounds like you would be getting a bum deal on that one. haha

It is very sweet of you to make the offer though! :-)
Dan H. May 6, 2008, 11:38pm EDT
Well Tess, I'd deal with a little back pain for a weekend if it meant I'd get to experience what I never had the chance to.

Robin, I am not yet a doctor so I can't give medical advice. As with diabetes, foot care is so important. On top of that, controlling your blood glucose is VERY important. Your Hemoglobin A1C is a good meassure of your blood glucose over the last few months.
