  • I couldn't resist.

    I would like to point out that this is a question on an exam I have due tomorrow. And this is my legit answer. Enjoy!

    1. Each of the four lobes of the brain is responsible for the processing of different information. Make up your own example of a task or activity that would require the use of at least three of the four lobes. In describing the task, make sure you show how each of the lobes are involved.

    Zombie survival is a task that would use all four lobes of the brain. The frontal lobe, which is involved with problem solving, planning, and judgment, is crucial in zombie survival. You are constantly planning your next move and needing to make judgment calls that could potentially endanger your life, or the lives in the survival party. The parietal lobe is involved in paying attention as well as somatosensory information processing. You must constantly be vigilant and must pay attention to your surroundings. As well as leaving you aware if you have been touched or injured. The temporal lobe deals with auditory processing, comprehending language, as well as retaining visual images. Your temporal lobe is active by listening for the moans of the undead as well as visualizing your enemy. Then there is the occipital lobe, which is a dead giveaway. This lobe deals with visual processing. While you are viewing your surroundings, your occipital lobe is hard at work trying to detect the slightest movement in the distance among the trees. If motion is detected you are able to view the location of the brain eating beast to either kill it or run for your life. This is why your brain is very important to you and should not end up as food for the zombies. Your brain is crucial for survival. Each lobe plays an important role in preventing becoming a zombie snack.

  • So I missed that train...

    I didn't really jump on the whole 9/11 bandwagon. So before someone questions my patriotism, I honestly just do not have any emotion to it... or well, not a truly personal one. It was indeed a tragedy but I am definitely a conspiracy theorist and I feel there are still far too many unanswered questions. I think my need to have these questions answered is what makes me a patriot. I don't want to follow blindly on the whole "Kill them towel heads"... mainly because I am not a racist ass and people who just believe whatever they are told kill me. Maybe I read too much, maybe I think too much... but everything about September 11th seems sketchy to me and has since the beginning, even as a 12 year old girl in 8th grade. I will stand by my belief that I think the government was behind it and knew about it. My question to them is why? Why was it necessary to kill all those innocent people? What has it accomplished? Just more death and destruction and FOR WHAT?! Oil? Money? Our country is in so far in debt that the likelihood of ever getting out is an impossibility... gas prices are still insane so really, what has it accomplished?

    If I take the stance too that we were blindly attacked but some jihadist militant group... well.. I can't. I think it was all staged. My heart aches for ALL the innocent people and families who have lost their loved ones since that day. We're still nowhere close to ending this war... why is it that America insists playing big brother to every country that is not like us? Maybe people wouldn't be so pissed if they just live and let live....bah, I am going to leave the 9/11 bit at this. I feel I am getting more and more chaotic as I type and none of this is making any sense. I send all the positive energy I can to those who are still suffering, Americans and Middle Easterners alike. All I can do is hold on to this unrealistic dream that one day people can grow up and realize that no one person is different from any other. At the end of it all we still bleed red. Why can't people just accept each other... it blows my mind...

    ALSO...

    In case you hadn't heard, which I am sure you have... *ahem*

    WHAT THE HELL TEA PARTY!

    Are you effin kidding me? The crowd actually cheers to let this hypothetical human being die? You the party that fights so hard to nix abortion are OK with letting a man die because he doesn't have insurance? ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?! That is sick. That is disturbing and just down right disgusting. Why would anyone want a person in power who has supporters that cheer the idea of letting a man in a coma die just because he doesn't have insurance? I promise you, if these are the people who are running my country, I am getting the hell out of dodge. Me nor my husband have insurance, mainly because we can't afford it. Our son has insurance through that state... so if either of us were to get terminally ill.. or even slightly injured, we would be left to die just because we would rather put food on our table than pay the insane costs of medical insurance? This is disturbing and this is not a society I want to live in or raise my child in. What the hell has happened to humanity? WHAT THE FRIGGING HELL!?!?!?!?!?

     

    Ok... That's all for now before I start pulling up more shit that drives me insane about this upcoming election...

  • I went to the ER annnnd

    I found out that I have uterine adhesions to my abdominal wall. At first I was like, eh, that sucks. After looking into it though it seems like some pretty scary stuff. This is the result of having an unwanted AND unnececcsary c-section. There was no reason for it. Me nor my son were in any danger but the doctor claimed I was not progessing quickly enough after 12 hours of labor. I recieved my epidural at 2 cm for crying out loud! Now I am faced with the possibility of infertility or dealing with miscarriages when I try to concieve in the future. WTH!

    I am so furious and scared that I am driving myself mad. I have to schedule an appointment with a gynecologist to determine the severity of the adhesions and find out where we go from there. They can perform surgery to correct it BUT it is still a STRONG possibility that I would still end up with adhesions again. I may be over reacting right now, but I am worried sick that the incompetent doctor I had has screwed my chances of having a bigger family in the future. I am furious. I had made it clear that I did not want a c-section, that I felt there was no reason for me to have one and because he was in impatient prick, I may now have to deal with some extreme emotional issues. I want more kids. I have always said I wanted at least three... now I am faced with the possibility of not having anymore and I am crushed. Hopefully when I go to the doctor I will leave there with good news. That this isn't severe and I can still have pretty little babies...

    Any of you mothers out there have a horrible birthing experience? Complications after delivery? Anything? What did you do about it afterwards?
