I think that the Threads here on AN.com should be like stories, i.e. they should contain the opening post as the introduction, the discussion as the body, and then have some sort of resolution as the conclusion. Too often we never find out what happened- no closure. I need closure! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nov 8, 2018 by klone, MSN, RN What I think is funny is when it's a combination of the two - someone asks a question, a bunch of people give feedback, and then 5 years later, someone else bumps the thread up, asking the OP (who hasn't been back to the site in 5 years) what they ended up doing. Um, bud, I don't think the OP is going to respond. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The person who bumped the thread just didn't take the time to read the last page! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nov 8, 2018 by Davey Do, RN I feel like an idiot Please allow me to step in here and just say that those are just your feelings, brownbook. Your feelings are not based in reality, they are based in emotions. I love you and want to continue to be who you are. Okay now? Daddy kiss a boo-boo?
