I saw you are a 'wrestling mom'........or at least I thought I saw that under your signature.......how do you feel about the 'making weight' issue and wrestling?


I won't let my son wrestle for that reason alone.

Hey, I'm an ex med tech, too, but got out years before you. It was the mid-80s, just about the time AIDs was becoming an issue that I left. It got to be too boring. Can't say I miss the mouthfuls of picric acid I got a couple of times when doing creatinines...yup, I'm really old, when we still pipetted by mouth, even tho it wasn't allowed. I had a great bunch of coworkers though.....we had a lot of fun.

I've never had the "pleasure" of pipetting by mouth, but I got into the field before they figured out if HIV was a virus or a bacteria!

Shels,


My 14 yr old Jake is wrestling for the first time this year and I also was very leary of the weight thing.
