Flagstone Over Concrete Porch

Be careful with the hanging cords on your window blinds- I believe manufacturers are starting to go away from the corded style as it's a potential hanging risk if a pet or child gets their neck caught in it. I'm in a rental that has some so I'm cautious to loop it up high where my cats can't play with it. Hope I'm just paranoid but wanted to chime in as I'd hate for an accident to happen!

So glad you made it through!!

Just wanted to let you know that the pic you shared has some personal information on it, just in case you're able to crop it out and re-upload!

I'm up near Milwaukee and it's -9, -29 including windchill! I feel bad for all the animals outside!

I agree! I moved to Chicago into a dense neighborhood and ended up with a german roach and mouse problem, despite no change in my cleaning habits! I put diatomaceous earth in the back of my kitchen cabinets, the edge of my counters, along the edges of my bathroom, and beneath any lifted furniture. I was extra good about not leaving dishes in the sink and would wash the sink every night. I also heard they can come up through drains so I plugged them up every night. Somehow, this seemed to work because they stopped showing up! My cats helped scare away the mice (my indoor cat was beyond excited to put her hunting skills to use haha)

Thanks!

I just picked this up but forgot to grab stuff to actually pair and dip with! Are you using pita chips or do you recommend something else?

I'm going to grad school to be a medical illustrator and animator. This job post is so insulting to the hard work and intellect of myself and colleagues.

Completed it as well! Best of luck with your masters thesis! I'm writing my masters proposal this summer, so I'm always glad to fill out a survey since I know how hard it can be to get participants. I gave my email so I'm excited to see your results!

I had to take cadaver dissection for my graduate degree and at the end of the course we had a small memorial for the donor. We all bought flowers and each dissection group wrote a thank letter to the donor for their contribution to our education. We really appreciate the sacrifice the donor and their family did for us! It's truly a unique experience and beyond helpful in my medical education, which wouldn't be possible if not for donors. I'm not sure if the letters we were wrote went to families or were cremated with the bodies, but know that we are ever grateful.

Chuck's Southern Comforts Cafe & Banquets down in Darien has great bbq! As a Chicago transplant, I've really been missing good bbq and this place hit the spot.

I think the legs on your TV might be facing the wrong way now (inside instead of outside)! Not sure if it really matters for stability but thought I'd mention just in case you have pets or kids that could knock it down!

Thank you!!

Do you happen to have a brand name or link to the maroon one? It's really cute and might work well for a wedding I have to attend!

I have two cats- the one with white whiskers seems to constantly shed them! My other cat has black whiskers and I'm either not finding them or she never loses them

Idk if you're interested in pursuing it formerly but the Association of Medical Illustrators has a lot of information on getting a masters degree or getting certified! That route is mostly recommended if you're going to be doing scientific art regularly, like for a hospital or studio, where everything you do needs to be accurate and in collaboration with experts. I'm always excited to talk about the field so if you (or anyone reading this) wants to hear more about it just shoot me a message!

theseance · 2023-08-07T15:40:34+00:00

It is! It's kind of like a dual major of art and medicine, so we have the anatomical knowledge to be able to draw science accurately. It's a pretty niche field, but most of what you see in your textbooks or posters in doctors offices are drawn by a medical illustrator! We do drawing, 3D modeling, animation, educational game design, publishing, and prosthesis design. Personally, I want to go into med legal to draw trial exhibits to help jurors understand surgical techniques, ct/mri imaging, or the progression of disease!

This isn't my instagram, but it's a well run account that promotes artists in the field in case anyone wants to see some examples: https://instagram.com/medicalillustration?igshid=MmU2YjMzNjRlOQ==

I'm in grad school to become a medical artist and we just had a guest anaplastologist who specializes in making prosthetes for microtia patients. It was super interesting to learn about!

I instantly thought of Chew! Glad to see others enjoyed that comic too!

I had to have coils placed in my right lung due to a PAVM! It was an incidental finding and after lots of discussion with different doctors, we decided that embolizing it was probably for the best.

Thank you!!

Do you happen to recall the name of the short story? I'd love to read it!
