My dad is a student

  This handsome guy, otherwise known as my dad, had his first day of school yesterday.  He is taking Applied Calculus at ASU Beebe.  Now, my dad already has a degree, 3 actually, yes, he is Dr. Daly, not Mr. Daly, as is the misconception and another pet peeve of mine.  He earned that PhD, call him Dr., dammit!  Anyway, I digress.  At 78 years young, he still does some scientific research and felt he needed a little refresher course in math.  So here is, on his way to class.  I talked to my mom last night and he had a great first day.  He said some terminology had changed, but other than that, it is still calculus.  Now, what you may not know is my dad is also a professor.  He taught sophomore medical students Parasitology and Immunology for many years at UAMS.  Chances are if you see a doctor in Arkansas, he was a student of my dad's.  He has also taught a genetics class, nursing students, and many more.  So, my dad knows a thing or two about a classroom.  It should be an interesting semester for him to say the least.  Me, I am very proud of him and wish him well.  I am so glad I am out of school.  I am done studying!

  Hubby had a doctor's appointment this morning so we can try and narrow down this allergy thing.  We hate to dismiss a whole area of food when it could just be a spice.  He is hopefully going next week to get the allergy test.  He had an appointment scheduled at 7 am and it was almost 7:20 before he went back.  Grrrr....we definitely let them know of our disapproval.  The nurse said the appointment was just a suggested time.  Suggested time?  What the hell is that?  I questioned this and she started to go on and on about some nonsense and I just cut her off.  An appointment is an appointment not a suggestion.  If that was the case than my appointment at 2:00, I may show up at 2:30.  I doubt very seriously I would be seen then since I was late.  Suggestion my  ass.  

  Have a fabulous Wednesday!  It is hump day

Hugs!
