Below you will find some e-mail from my son at college. Since this wonderful stuff is costing me about $25000 per year, I thought the least I could do was share it with the group.

>>>     Hell and burn eternally-- but I didn't want to upset him.
>>>
>>>     It sure would be nice if we got a day off for the president's
>>>     birthday, like they do for the queen. Of course, then we would

>>>     December 26, just for the long weekends.
>>>
>>>     Democracy is a beautiful thing, except for that part about

>>>
>>>     Give me the strength to change the things I can, the grace to
>>>     accept the things I cannot, and a great big bag of money.
>>>
>>>     The people who think Tiny Tim is strange are the same ones who
>>>     think it odd that I drive without pants.
>>>
>>>     For centuries, people thought the moon was made of green cheese.
>>>     Then the astronauts found that the moon as really a big hard
>>>     rock. That's what happens to cheese when you leave it out.
>>>
>>>     Think of the biggest number you can. Now add five. Then, imagine

>>>     biggest number you could come up with!

>>>     needed them, right?
>>>
>>>     When I go to heaven, I want to see my grandpa again. But he
>>>     better have lost the nose hair and the old-man smell.
>>>
>>>     I believe you should live each day as if it is your last, which

>>>     wants to wash clothes on the last day of their life?
>>>
>>>     I often wonder how come John Tesh isn't as popular singer as some
>>>     people think he should be. Then, I remember it's because he

>>>
>>>     Whenever I start getting sad about where I am in my life, I think

>>>     I don't know about you, but I enjoy watching paint dry. I imagine

>>>
>>>     I gaze at the brilliant full moon. The same one, I think to

>>>     I imagine they appear beside me. I tell Socrates about the
>>>     national debate over one's right to die and wonder at the
>>>     constancy of the human condition. I tell Plato that I live in the
>>>     country that has come the closest to Utopia, and I show him a
>>>     copy of the Constitution. I tell Aristotle that we have found
>>>     many more than four basic elements and I show him a periodic

>>>     If we could just get everyone to close their eyes and visualize

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
