    Well, I found out today, that the seller my Fiance bought my Vam book from is no longer a registered user. She was going to give it to me as a valentine's day present : ( . Which made her sad because she didn't have it. I wasn't upset naturally, as it is the thought that counts. Thankfully she paid with paypal. I'm glad in a way that I didn't get it, as I had already bought the book, but amazon seems to take their merry old time.

    Anyway, I just got to coins back from anacs, an 1880-o vam 13, and an 1883-cc vam 5a. I was wondering if anyone had some more information about these that they could share.

    I have been. I pulled an all nighter monday night, and will be pulling an all nighter tonight. I feel like a Zombie :( Too many tests in one week unfortunately. Thankfully I come here for breaks.

    I would kill for some sleep (figuratively speaking), I'm too busy learning about the biochemistry of muscles. (BORING BORING stuff). I have a test at 9 am :( tommorrow, and still need to memorize several hundred things, and read a couple hundred pages : ( I shouldn't have taken 23 credits in one semester : (

    If by chance anyone cares to find out just how boring this stuff is, here is an example of an old test. This stuff is so boring, that I would almost consider giving up coins for a year to not have to take this class.

    Muscle chemistry is definetely not boring and is essential to understand a slough of cardiac conditions etc.

    Those slow calcium channels are quite interesting.

    I understand that. However, I am in food science, so postmortem muscle is much more important to me. I guess a basic understanding with that does help me understand the postmortem state though.

    I know you mentioned before that you were a pharmacist. That is what I originally wanted to do, but unfortunately I couldn't keep up with it, since I used to suffer from Severe Obstructive sleep apnea. I woke up 101.7 times an hour on average. I developed it after I gained weight from rupturing a disk in my back, and was used to eating 10,000 calories a day (due to heavy weight lifting, which is how I hurt my back). I gained a bunch of weight. Thankfully, one day I decided to lose it, and lost 72 pounds in 3 months. Now I sleep fine (when I can actually fall asleep)

    That was a little off topic.

    I need to take weight loss lessons from you.

    All I did was excersize, eat about 1700 calories a day, consisting of 6 boneless skinless chicken breasts and about 6-7 servings of fruit. I also took vitamin supplements. It sucked, I literally ate the same thing every day for months. But I lost weight at an incredible rate. I burn a more calories in a day than a normal person though, as I'm 6'6 with a lot of weight from inherent muscle, so I think it was easier for me to lose weight than an average sized person.
