Red Kryptonite

I think NOADLS made a shell account and is punking us.

My babies need to eat more than I need to sleep. Besides, done right, you can accomplish both at the same time.

I wanted the eff out as soon as they'd let me go. Hospitals are awful places for resting, and frankly, the constant nagging from nurses to fill out their stupid feeding and diaper log drove me nuts. I wanted to go home, lay in my own bed, and nurse...

Also, if you're in the U.S., it's a holiday weekend. It may take a bit longer to hear back from people.

Thank you so much for this post. I knew that sounded wrong but am not as educated as I'd like to be and didn't want to say anything wrong. Seems to me lotus birth would be impossible if it were true that the blood would all flow back out of baby in...

Lev, not if her teeth are very crooked and are breaking, as she described.

Have you looked into dental schools in your area? Often they run clinics where dental students get to learn, and you can get care for very reduced prices. I'm sorry you're going through this, that's gotta be really hard. Also, I think some state M...

I find it funny that Arizona has this terrible reputation nationally, yet Phoenix Metro is literally the most diverse place I've ever lived. And I was raised in Southern California and went to college in Chicago. We all rub along pretty peaceably 9...

Is anyone else wondering about the nurse who takes a 45 minute break during one of the busiest times in the shift? And refuses to help with patient care when she is one of ONLY THREE people in the building?

Agree. I refuse to be so patronizing and condescending as to go around viewing my colleagues of color as constant victims. I think they'd be damn offended by that, because they're proud of working hard to achieve all they have, just like the rest o...

You're accusing them of giving preference to lesser students. You're also claiming that becuz you saw it on tha internet, it must be true. So basically you're publicly accusing them of dishonest practices with no proof. Hope they can't link your us...

What evidence do you have for this very serious accusation?

Someone should have told my class. White females are definitely not the majority.

This stood out to me. Jumped out, actually. Gee, what a curse to be stuck in a peaceful, mutually respectful workplace. The "challenges" you're talking about taking on are the kind that end up with people drinking out of Mylanta bottles like hip f...

Maybe because our lives contain no evidence it exists?

Maybe if she's closed and thick you should be leaving her alone?! Radical idea, I know. As to cytotec, the fact that anyone still risks mothers' and babies' lives with that is disgusting.

On Facebook I'm a member of a group that talks about recipes and posts pictures. So tonight I saw this, and instead of "flautas" my mind read "flatus." Which really sucks because I love flautas.

I am a victim of true bullying, thanks, who seriously considered suicide briefly as a young teenager. I took plenty of verbal BS and it sucked, but the day I was surrounded by a group of boys and physically beaten in an open quad during break with n...

I think I just had a vocabu-gasm.

To quote Winston from Ghostbusters, "I have seen **** that will turn you WHITE!" But it's not my family member. It's not a friend. It's been with people around whom I can construct a professional boundary. I am empathetic and caring, but I am not ...

You're my soul mate.

I'm fully aware that there is a body of research. And I'm also fully aware that words mean things and I'm sick of agendized academics who never leave the ivory tower using them poorly. I don't deny that negative interpersonal interactions take place...

Ha ha. Yep you've been a great example toward Dranger. The fact that you seem to have posted this in all seriousness after your treatment of Dranger makes me wonder if you're delusional or just punking all of us.

And I will once again register my disapproval of the utter ridiculousness of calling mere words "violence." Only in oxygen and common sense deprived think tanks do they use such ridiculous hyperbole. Violence is getting shot up by terrorists on a b...

Ground Oh, I'd definitely be THINKING that, but verbal report would end with the part about being in the ED for overdose.
