I think Central may be allnurses' version of the one-eyed cousin living in the basement. :idea:

Shhhh... don't tell the neighbors, and turn up the music so no one can hear the screams.

It is more like that really nice little restaurant/bar you don't tell people about because you don't want it to get overrun

Exactly. We need to keep central on the down low yo!

more like the little family-owned italian restaurant were we often go and people's reaction is generally something like, "you ate where?"

great food, third generation, everyone working there is somehow related to the family, once you've been there a few times they remember what you drink, that you picked the lima beans out of your soup once so now they do it before they bring it out, they invariably call you "honey" or "sweetie," if they're crazy busy, you just go behind the screen and get your own drink refills and for the next table as well. they ask about your mom, your elderly cat, and your one-eyed cousin living in your cellar. if your picture (or your kid's) was in the paper, next time you go in, they hand you 10 extra copies. now for the scary part...

they have a bar attached to the dining room! :rolleyes: sometimes they even seat you there for dinner! :eek:

best food, advice and conversation in town!

You said it so well.

the first one says central. this is where all of the non-nursing, but still interesting, topics live.

where do the non-nursing but uninteresting topics live?

In the sub-cellar with the three-eyed cousin. :uhoh3:

Personally, I'd like to see AN Central featured a little more prominently, so more people can find it. Sometimes non-nursing topics get posted to the AN main board, there's the beginning of a lively discussion, then the thread gets moved to AN Central -- with no kind of marker or link on AN showing where it was moved to -- and it's the kiss of death to the discussion just as it was getting interesting.

I think I was on this site for a good year before I realized these posts were moved to an alternate forum -- I thought the moderators were simply removing them.
