I was unable to log in yesterday afternoon, and most of today. Just got successfully logged in, and I have reached Rookie status ! 👍 I've been on AN for about 18 years I think, LOL I remember Ted and his drone, and Lil Nell and her horse 🙂!!

I was talking to my neighbor about the World Cup, and she said, " Oh, so it happens on one day? Like the Super Bowl? " 🤣 🤣

Hello - Stars, I wanted to mention, there are some very nice income - based apartments for folks 62 and older here in the Midwest. One of the largest management groups is National Church Residences, and I believe they may be in dozens of states across the U.S. My sister has a beautiful one bedroom apartment, fully ( and I do mean FULLY ) equipped with safety features. Rent is one - third of your monthly income. There are endless " perks" included, one of the best is the regular donations from area grocery stores. There are income limits for eligibility. I have been wanting to mention this to you for a while now ! Also - and this is totally unrelated but I hope the Daily Diary gang will find it humorous- I had to Google what FIFA World Cup was ! There seem to be hundreds of commercials about it on TV, and I was in the Meijer grocery store last week and there were lots of hats, jerseys, t - shirts, etc. about it, LOL. So now I know. 🤪 Reminds me of the time in the 1980's , when my college boyfriend worked in a screenprint shop. They were working overtime, printing shirts about the " Sweet 16" , then the " Elite Eight" , then the " Final Four"....and I had absolutely no idea what he was talking about. He was dumbfounded that I had lived my entire life and didn't know what it all meant. I'm a baseball fan, LOL ! ! Have a great evening 😀

Hello - I get pop-ups on every page as well - and interestingly, when I click the small " x " to close the pop-up, it only ever opens the pop-up. Every. Single. Time. Also, when I try to log in, I get the "oops, something went wrong " message probably 10 times before I can actually get logged in. 🤔

Thank you, Rose_ Queen ! Could you remind me how to become a member of the Daily Diary club? I was able to " find" Daily Diary by clicking on my Activity, but it's not showing when I click on Clubs. Thank you!

Not sure what all that is up above ! I was trying to quote dianah's first statement :) Anyway, I have the same problem....I ended up having to search for a frequent Daily Diary poster's username , and clicked on an entry where someone else mentioned the poster's username. It worked - after dozens of attempts to get logged in. ( I kept getting a message that my password was incorrect.) I miss No Stars !

(((((ADO))))) Hugs to you and your family.

Stars, I swooned over Alan Rickman as Colonel Brandon in the Emma Thompson / Kate Winslet version of " Sense and Sensibility"! That voice ! My then - boyfriend got miffed with me because I kept talking about how handsome Mr. Rickman was, and all the English charm he possessed. It's one of my favorite movies.

That is hilarious, Ado ! Naughty little kitties ? Hopefully your hubby wasn't too upset. I had the same thing happen years ago - my cats knocked over my little artificial tree, and scattered ornaments all over the living room. But they had fun, I'm sure !

Well said, Tweety !

I recently received my flu and Covid injections at a local pharmacy. The pharmacist pinched my skin both times. We were busy chatting, and I didn't think much of it. I had a hard lump (about the size of a pea) in the arm where she injected the flu vaccine. It slowly dissipated over the next two days. This was not the first time I had the little lump under the skin, as I've received many, many flu vaccines! I have administered hundreds of flu shots in my 33 years of nursing, and as bluescoop said, it's OK. ? Best wishes.

I always thought "OG" meant Original Gangster.....also, I am proud member of the COB club ?

I completely agree with you- family time , your private outside-of-work-life, is sacred. This kind of on call requirement is unacceptable. When I was on call, I couldn't plan certain things, couldn't travel too far, couldn't commit to helping my sister out with childcare....on and on. Do you think it would be worth it to speak to management about your concerns? I wish you the best, whatever you decide.

Allnurses is a safe place to vent, nighttech , so vent away ! You are doing very difficult and very important work. It is absolutely heartbreaking , to see that younger and younger teens ( and pre-teens) are committing serious and violent crimes. I live in a large Midwestern city, and a co - worker of mine is part of an inner city program devoted to reaching at - risk young men before they go down a criminal path. He told me he took a handgun from a nine- year - old last week! Agree 100% with the shout - out to all the social workers ?
