Okay, so this is a huge pet peeve of mine.

I wish everyone of those people who are dumping ice on their heads would make sure to donate. I always say, even a dollar helps, it all adds up!

I do biomedical research. With cost of living (supplies and such) NIH funding in the last ten years has decreased by 25%! Everyone wants a cure, but everyone wants to cut spending. Well, we only make scientific advancement through funding research. I only make $24000/year right now and pay $3000 of that to fees, not to mention taxes. I still donate over $500 to organizations that benefit scientific research. There are plenty, ALS has theirs, not your thing, well my friends and I get funding from the American Cancer Society, the Susan G Komen Foundation, the American Kidney Foundation, the American Heart Association, and the March of Dimes and there are many more. The Jimmy V Foundation give all it's profit after it's operating budget to cancer research. We need money! I know personally, when I started research in 2001, I considered having my own lab, but when I get my PhD in 2014, there is no way I would do it. Funding levels are below 10%. That means that less then 10% of every proposed idea gets funded. People want to know why we don't have more treatment or more cures or vaccines. Well there is less and less money available.

Okay, getting off my now. But this truly does irritate me. Dumping ice over your head without learning about the disease or contributing just makes you a putz, not cool at all!

May I add the AIDs Foundation! I rode in this year's LifeCycle from San Francisco to LA and raised $11,895. One in six HIV positive American doesn't even know they are carrying this disease. There are so many important causes that need funds for research.

Stuckinsc, my youngest son is majoring in Infectious Diseases at UCM. He is doing lab work right now and trying to decided whether to get a PhD or a MD. Lab work has been much more fulfilling than he thought it would be.

The smile is definitely back. Plus, I guess it is okay to put his arm around girls now. No one to get angry at him right now. cantstopl

So fascinating how often hate is mistaken for the opposite of love, when in actuality the opposite of love is indifference. #TheMoreYouKnow

I took that as a shoutout to us all who are still bothered by Andi hatin' on Nick. It's just her love showing through. Hugesmile

Yeah, I noticed that he does that now too - before the season was over it was always hands in the pockets when posing with female fans. giggling

Actually, before I realized the quotes are from a song, I also thought it was a way of his saying that he is indifferent toward Andi - since he has not made mention of her for weeks in public. I have heard the saying before though and it is very true.

Without irony, I totally agree that it is a shout out to Andi. :yes:
