Bwa-ha-ha!!!!! Hijack away!!! This is the BEST thread EVER!!!! Hope nobody takes offense at my blatant abuse of punctuation.................!!

rn/writer I have, for years, referred to the perpetually petulant as "offendinistas" Oh, how I LOVE this line......perpetually petulant.......offendinistas...... How cool!!! thanks!!

Don't waste one minute worrying about it!

I remember when it was also thought that the woman who had delivered a stillborn would ' do better' if she never saw or held the baby. That also was a 'norm' back then which was not beneficial to the patient.... Sometimes progress is a good thing and deception or avoidance are not......

My sincere empathy to both of you, but want to reassure you that this is NOT a new situation. I graduated in 81, my family wanted to throw a party and I wouldn't let them send invitations until I was absolutely positive and had confirmation in hand that I had passed the last semester ( and like your wife, I had done well throughout). This same situation of failing at the very last minute without warning has happened to WAY too many people over the years........ Sorry it caught both of you because it is not only a shame that it happened, but it does destroy life plans...

Beautiful... simply beautiful! Thanks for sharing !

Well......... having an exacerbation would CAUSE exasperation .......

Have you heard people pronounce ask or asked as AX or AXED? ( as in: I axed him a question.)

Hey, thanks for your interesting points of view! I did enjoy the danish and haven't died yet, so I guess it worked out alright................ might have been the massive doses of vanc I took after I left the bakery:smokin: Just wondered what y' all thought! Thanks!

This isn't an earthshaking or vitally important nursing question but I'm curious to know if I'm being a bit overboard in this! Saturday morning I went to the bakery to get my weekend supply of danish and the clerk grabbed each one with a piece of paper, then threw all the papers in the box with the danish! Am I just too goofy for asking her to get all that paper out of the box? All I could think of were creepy-crawly bacteria all over my goodies! The nurse in me kept repeating clean to clean, dirty to dirty, etc! I know it might be standard bakery practice but......... Would love your input! Does this bother anyone else?

To previous poster ! The main concern seems to be about breast augmentation , but you know, there are lots of other procedures to be had. I think much more kindly about such things at my age now than I did when I was younger and everything was in it's proper place. Bring on the free facelift and blephroplasty.... I'd sign up too !!!

Sorority life in college was heaven, nursing school was hell! The first day in nursing class began with the instructor telling us "Look to your right and then to your left. One of the three of you won't last the semester." Hardly a bond-building thought!

Hmmm.... I thought it was CHEESEburger in paradise, not CHEESE burger TO paradise. Maybe Buffett knew something we didn't:coollook:

Or what about the people who make a word.... any word... plural by using an apostrophy and s? (dish's, scope's, etc.) I see that all the time and everywhere and it makes me crazy!
