    I know what you SAID. No need to SHOUT. How is a terrorist threat possible without terrorists? Now you take care you don't hurt yourself

    Believe whatever I like? Thanks for the permission. That's swell of you. The only reason that I believe you consider certain people terrorists is because you said you do. All the back pedaling in...

    Christmas Songs For The Psychiatrically Challenged

    LydiaNN replied to lozza81's topic in Emergency

    I also have a son with Autism. The reference to him rocking is just a stereotype and has nothing to do with him, so that isn't why I don't find these songs funny. There is a difference between...

    Vent: I absolutely HATE stupidity! Not ignorance.....STUPIDITY!!

    LydiaNN replied to TazziRN's topic in General Nursing

    I am all for banning cell phone use in the car. To me, regulation of what people goes too far, because really, as long as one eats an otherwise healthy diet, an occasional splurge at McDonald's can't...

    LydiaNN replied to TazziRN's topic in General Nursing

    It is a crime where I live, and many other places as well. I am also a very safe driver, but how does that help me if some idiot decides to crash into me? Believe in your own immortality if you...

    we're pregnant

    LydiaNN replied to medsurgnurse's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I agree about ''we're pregnant''. "We're expecting'' makes sense to me, because expecting has different meanings, but pregnant is the condition of gestation, and it just doesn't make sense to say a...

    I don't think going back to the original question is really such a good idea. How to shut people up?

    How to shut up people who gossip !!!!!!

    LydiaNN replied to PeachPie's topic in General Nursing

    I still don't see how saying that people nitpick and whine isn't the same as calling them nitpickers and whiners. That's a mighty fine line as far as I'm concerned. It doesn't seem to me to be less...

    Sorry, but she specifically said ''small people'' engage in those behaviors. That is name calling, pure and

    LydiaNN replied to PeachPie's topic in General Nursing

    I thought so. Maybe I read it wrong??? At any rate, she's calling someone a whiny nitpicker. IMO, telling someone to shut up or calling them names is no better than gossip and in most cases is...

    LydiaNN replied to PeachPie's topic in General Nursing

    So we're right back to where we were originally. You think calling people small, nitpickers, and whiners is lofty and mature? What was the point of changing the title if you were going to respond...

    You're much loftier than me, Marie. All I could think of to compare it with is those people who make more noise saying ''shhhhh'' when it's time to be quiet than the people who are

    LOL... if someone posted that at work, it'd get torn down and thrown away. Just as gossip drives some people crazy, so does what comes off as the superior attitude of others who see fit to post notes...

    LydiaNN replied to hope3456's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    It saddens me to think that you are witness to these children's births, if you honestly believe (and I believe you do) that they will grow up to be terrorists. You say you're a gracious hostess to...

    Insurance: The Urban Legend.

    LydiaNN replied to Zizka's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know what the SW's legal obligations would be in such a situation, but a hospital is not meant to be a shelter from domestic abuse. Perhaps she could've gotten hospital approval to keep Mom...

    Insurance: The Urban Legend.

    LydiaNN replied to Zizka's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed. When my son was born, I had to share a room. My roommate, who had Medi-Cal, was in an abusive relationship and didn't want to go home. This I know because pre-HIPAA, the hospital social...
