Rule is: One sentence. Random thought. Silly is great. Funny would rock. If you're going to be judgmental, GO TO ANOTHER THREAD! FUN ONLY HERE!
Fomite is my new favorite word because it sounds like a sandwich spread.

On the psych unit I often think "oh my gosh....i'm just gonna kill myself."
then remember half the patients are there for saying that out loud. well, at least i'm in the right place!
If a man speaks in the middle of a forest, and no women is there to hear him, is he still wrong?

do you really need to ask that?! :lol:
Does it irritate anyone but me when the checkout people slam your groceries around, or wad your clothing into a bag- I mean, those are freaking eggs, did you need a "Fragile" sign? Grrrrr!

Why do you always to put the eggs in the same bag as the flour and the sugar?
Yes, I heard it buzz too. The salesclerk left the $%^& shoplifting deterrent tag on:banghead: and I had to make a second trip back here to have it removed!

You know, the ad banner at the top of this page really gets to me at times. Usually, it is BSN program ads. Today, however, it keeps showing some sort of sheet one can insert under a pannus to prevent "skin-on-skin" irritation...
I could stand to drop a few pounds, but it hasn't gotten to that point yet...I see it enough at work, and at risk of sounding mean - its kind of grossing me out!
Re: Skin-on-skin Irritation Ad.
Lol! They must not have CNAs that Baby Powder the heck out of them after a bedbath. Sometimes it looks like my patients are ready to be deep fried when I assess them. I fling back the covers to auscultate breathing sounds, and we both sneeze as a white cloud of corn starch fills the room! I would much rather stick one of those sheets in the rolls and crevices!!!
It's called a pillowcase!
And, we don't get baby powder... The nystatin powder doesn't go airborne at least...
I have found a chicken wing bone in a fat fold of a 560lb women tonight, she said,"gah, I am surprised, the cat must have hid that there. Now don't get me wrong- I'm a dog person, but do cats hide stuff??? I hope everyone has eaten supper:) Also, I found a small cat toy- so she may have a "unique" cat? Wuh, I kept searching for the dead kitten because the skin-on-skin inflammation was something akin to death, Vintage Cheddar, Crusty Butt, and Body Odor center, with a hint of Cabbage. I cleaned well with 4 PCTs holding up the belly, and then I left the patient to be breaded by the "Powder Puff" girls:)
I remember visiting my grandmother after she'd showered, and not only was there powder fallout, but the overwhelming smell of Cashmere Bouquet soap and matching powder that went along with it!
I think CB powder and Toujours Moi perfume are the prevailing LOL scents.
Anything but moth balls!!
