I have never looked at the nose, but I will next time. I have noticed the ears stick out more when they are getting ready to pass. Someone told me that too and I didnt believe them until I saw it for myself. Sorry about your grandpa.

True you could throw it into the intro like " This is i may be recording this conversation, Tonya from MGM. ya know kinda throw it in there mid sentence. Heck they would probably not even notice.

Where I live, they just finished building a new hospital, In the old hospital they hired LVN's, but in the new hospital They only hire RN's. Any LVN's that had stuck around from the other facility were let go.
