  1. Another reason unions suck!

    ambobam:I think you are very naive and what you need to realize is that we fight daily to keep these 40-year old rights you speak of.
  2. Another reason unions suck!

    I have worked union and I have worked non-union. I can say, without qualification, that union is better. I represent the RN's at my facility and have done this for years. To those of you who are whining about unions I would first ask all of you, how ...
  3. Drug seeking or real pain? How do you tell?

    I agree totally. We, as a society, tend to be stingy with drugs that someone might also "enjoy" in addition to treating their symptoms. As an example I would point to the very limited research that has been done with marijuana and the right wing fren...

    It is indeed incredible how many men out there think they are being cute when the reality is that everyone listening to them is terribly embarrassed for them because they are making such huge jerks of themselves. My experience is that I do not worry ...
  9. Milk and Molasses Enema

    This seems like a somewhat dated discussion, but I thought I would throw my 2-cents worth in anyway. I will preface this by saying I have never given or received one of these enemas, but I have heard they are very effective. My understanding is the m...
  10. Let's play I Remember When.....

    Does anyone "remember when" you went to the hospital you used to get an enema about as quickly as they now days ask for your insurance card?
