It does shake you up a bit especially when we take great care not to make mistakes

But we are human and we do make them from time to time. I believe that is why the doctors read before signing. I've made mistakes in my career, nothing that would change the care a patient is to receive, but working in this field for 8 years I can't say that I have never made a mistake. And you are right. It does shake you up a bit and only natural to start doubting yourself. About 5 years ago while working in a hospital I had made a mistake the doctor was upset about they were nothing major that changed the treatment a patient got, but still was upsetting. I talked with a co-worker and she said overall the work is excellent, we all make mistakes from time to time and you just try better not to make the same mistakes.

Luckily my current clients have never sent back a report, but I just say take it as it is. It's a mistake and you're human and we all make mistakes from time to time. Don't let it get you down too much.

    I don’t care how you live your life, just don’t want to pay for your mistakes
    I think I have made my point.
    Absolutely, but I shake myself out of it quickly to make it a happy time for my kids and hubby. nm

    Don't let it get you down. We all make mistakes.

    If you make a mistake because you believe in the basic goodness of people, then the person at fault is not you, but the other person.


    I used to feel the same way - that all people were basically good, had good intentions toward others, and would respond to kindness with kindness. I, too, learned the hard way.


    It took me a long time, but I finally realized that not everybody has my best interests at heart, so I have learned to be a little cautious. Everyone is innocent until proven guilty - but I let the jury deliberate a little longer these days. 


    I make mistakes, my children have but
    I pay for my own mistakes and my children when they were children, not as adults. I do not take on the responsibility of people who knowingly a) have children and not be financially responsible for taking care of them, b) do drugs and/or alcohol and want handouts?? This falls into a category of you do it to yourself, you take care of it yourself. I would helpp the sick and elderly, animals, people who have misfortunate not of their own doing. That is how I live my life. I read things in the paper, if I feel something I should give money to I do but not in a situation where you have the brains to do right if you WANT to do right.
    That's "think" - we all make mistakes!

    I can't believe you just wrote it's not okay for your kids to make mistakes.
    "Just becuase UGU all forget things and make mistakes does not mean that my children need to be raised to think it's ok to do so."

    Good god, I hope I never meet you or anyone else with your twisted sense of right and wrong.
    No. I don't care what others say, I make my own

    I can't make fish. I don't care for it that much and sm
    every time I make it, it tastes fishy, which I hate. no matter what I do, it just turns out badly.
    I think this would make a great news
    story! Contact your local news channel. They usually have a consumer advocate department like our 5-On-Your-Side person. They could go in and interview somebody at Walmart and demand to know why they are advertising this way when it's a raw deal.
    oh, I make a great salsa
    and I always keep that stuff on hand. I could make that and just buy a bag of chips. Or if I have tortilla's, which I think I do in the freezer, I could make those into chips!

    Thanks! As you can tell I'm trying to stay out of the store. lol
    If you celebrate, that would make a great Christmas card! (nm)

    fantastic shake ideas
    I have a membership with Melaleuca and their meal replacement/shakes are fantastic, and I have many other different recipes that can be used with them.  They have the meal replacement/shake mixes, as well as a full range of vitamins/supplements that are excellent, and protein bars and drinks.  I can honestly say I have taken vitamins for years and never felt any different.  When I started on these vitamins, I could feel it within two days.  When stopped when having surgery, and restarted again, again could feel the difference, so will not take anything else.  To get filled up, you need to eat protein.  This will fill you, but also prevent hair loss which happens when you cut back the calories.  I eat a scrambled egg every morning with shredded cheese and a sausage.  Lunch is generally a small chef salad with Ranch dressing.  Supper is usually 3-4 ounces of meat and some vegetables.  I keep sugar free popsicles and fudgsicles and I have a great recipe for a frozen yogurt that I like for a treat, as well as mixed nuts - those are the snack fun things.  Hope these ideas help you. 
    Wow! Let's shake hands, friend!
    That's how peace starts!!! :)
    Southwest Michigan, not much shake, but noticeable.

    I love it. 


    I don't care about your things, and can't imagine anyone would care about mine.
    Whether it's my eating quirks or my sexual preferences, I have no need to divulge that stuff here.
    It's NOT that interesting (mine OR yours!) and nobody cares.
    I see these mistakes all the time
    I think especially with doing VR my eyes are so trained to catch any and all misspelled words. I find them on the news from our television channels, in the paper, on advertising, everywhere, Craigs List especially- these people cannot spell now. I saw Chester drawers on Craigs- sometimes just knowing they are so wrong I send email asking them - do you mean Chester drawers or chest of drawers?? Drives me bananas!! I saw misspelled word in high-end ad for a furrier and newspaper ad for a cleaner- in the groceries I see mistakes.
    You are right, everyone makes mistakes
    but like you said they are held to a higher degree of accountability.

    If you have every worked in a hospital, in any capacity, even as an MT, you know that there is a system of checks balances for everything from dietary and housekeeping to OR employees. There is a reason why these systems including HIPAA, OSHA, and JHACO are in place. Sadly, there are always those few doctors (thank goodness for the nurses' who commonly save their rears such as in this case) who think they are above "policy and procedure." This might be a simple case of someone needing to be reminded that they are not above any protocol and they can make serious mistakes very easily.
    let it out, maybe they can learn from your mistakes

    Don't feel bad. Everyone makes mistakes.
    The doctor should not have made you feel bad, nor should have your husband. Especially your husband because I'm sure he knows how bad you feel. My husband has said things like "you're home all day, why can't you..." whatever the point is. Infuriating! As if we're not really doing anything while we are at home.

    Don't beat yourself up about it. Your son will get over it, and then he will be immune. Just do what you can to make him feel better (it sounds like you already are). You're not a bad mom! Hugs also!
    4 weddings, don't you learn by your mistakes. 1 is more than enough.

    Nope, did not learn from mistakes
    but I sure got it right this time, married 7 years and love the ground this guy walks on. Am glad I kept on because you know something, I have found the love of my life and if I had stopped (which thought I would do after the last person died) I would have never known such happiness and bliss.
    whoops, excuse those mistakes in there sm
    I'm in a hurry
    Not as bad as offshore, IMO. Point mistakes to off-

    Can you talk to facility and find out if mistakes

    that is too cute!!!! but as long as people will fix VR mistakes, it will continue on the roll it is

    At that rate, I could make in a week what I make

    Limbo. Great song, great game. Also,

    The girls all line up and walk through a room as if they are modeling on the catwalk. Get a couple of bright colored boa's from the party store. It's a real riot and the kids have a blast especially if a couple of brave boys grab a boa and do it too.  We've had many a birthday party doing this and it was totally hilarious.


    Wow!! What a great attitude! I love that - great perspective!

    I am sure that you are a great mother and a great cook,
    and that you tried everything, now try the 'hunger diet'.
    got that right!! If u don't take care of your man....nm
    .
    Somebody already took care of that


    I don't really care if you believe me or not.
    Whoever stated above that the mother must be a decent person because she raised Daniel for the first 6 years of his life is stating something that is not true. I am just saying that you cannot base her character on that because it is not true, period.

    You can believe what you want. I don't care. I don't have reason to come here and make this up, but I know who Daniel was raised by and a lot more than that. The grandmother did not raise him though. A very loving person who I am very close with and who has been in my life as a second mother to me raised him. The grandmother deserves no credit for that.

    Trust me, there are a lot more people who this has hurt and affected than just those you see on TV.
    Don't really care for any of them that much
    And I used to be an AI addict! Now not so much. : (
    I just got it right on #4, could care less what others think
    NM
    Oh, now that would just take care of everything..
    Not. I would be just as scared seeing something behind me, if only a glance, as in front or the side. My husband is much more respectable than most because he lets me know prior to entering the door.
    Of course I care....
    It's called human nature to care about another person who is suffering. And the people who are obsessed with her private life, like yourself, are more than likely a big part of the reason for her suffering. It's just so sad that you felt the need to berate the care she is receiving. You would want the same care for yourself. And with the way she's treated every time she steps foot outside her home, I would think she deserves to have all the privacy that her money can afford. And you can bet it's her own money paying for it, so why do you care if she gets any special attention because the general public won't leave her alone? Shame on you!
    You know, I don’t care what you or others do
    and I think most here are just seeing what others opinions are, not that they use your suggestions but asking if others have similar things going on. I think you can do what you want at any age; having said that I also find it silly when a really older woman tries to be as young as her grandchildren. I don’t listen to loud music because personally I want to keep my hearing intact and it bothers me now (think it did when in my 20s also, just don’t care for it, ever). Play your games, wear your hair long, blast your music, it is your life. I don’t tell others how to live their life and others don’t tell me. I think most here only asking opinions.
    How I took care of this...
    …Ok, the housekeeper lives with a sister and they both oversee the care of a retarded lady who is blind, unable to speak, cannot take care of herself- that might be a place the panties could have been used- this person would not know nor care. I brought the housekeeper over tonight and asked her to "look" for my panties as I knew where I put them. She denied taking them, but never would look me in my face, keeping her eyes down to the floor. I am no longer going to use her services- by the way she is most always calling me asking can she come to work, not me as she has never had a real job in the work force, used to live on welfare and food stamps before that went out so making 60-70$ (or if she did more would pay up to 100 or so for her time here) was ok with her. She spent no money driving here, riding public transportation here- I always went to get her which if you look at money wise, it comes out to more than what I actually paid her. The bottom line is my husband has told me for some time things were missing but now I have seen for myself. I want to be able to trust people who are in my home.
    when they are old enough to take care of them on their own...

    I wasn't allowed to get my ears pierced until I was old enough to take care of it myself...I think about 10 or so?  So I would think whenever he's old enough to take care of it himself, that would be the age. 


    Sheesh.  From reading some of the posts here, you would think he was wanting a tatoo of the devil...it's not like he couldn't take those earrings out later if he decided he didn't want them!!!! 


    You need to take care of your
    bills first and not worry about giving gifts. Explain to your family that you will not be giving gifts this year and you expect nothing in return. They may not like it but they will get over it. If they ask questions about what you do with your money (which really is none of their business)just answer them with the economy being so bad you are unable to give gifts. I would hope they understand as everybody is going through it right now. You may feel uncomfortable, but at least you will be able to sleep and not worry whether your bills will be paid or not. Stand firm on this and DO NOT feel guilty as there is no reason to be.

    I have also chosen not to exchange gifts this year as I cannot do it. I was surprised that my brother was relieved. Everybody is feeling the crunch.

    I wish you much luck!
    Do you care....
    Which way the TP goes on the roller? I don't but I know some who freak out and have to change it if it's going in the wrong direction.

    I don't care for the new way
    It's too obvious who's going to get it when they call up a couple at a time.

    Secretly, I was kind of hoping Nick Norman made it LOL
    These can be taken care of
    by injections, just zapping them away, heard not much pain at all, check with a dermatologist. I would not see a plastic surgeon, just give a call and ask. I would not think a cream would do the job.
    I really don't care.
    An eye for an eye. You correct someone else, so you should expect to be corrected. I only popped in here today to see what was going on. Oh, hey. Ya wanna know what? I can block this site on my own! And I can keep coming back no matter how many times I get kicked off the boards. There are unlimited free email accounts and dynamic IP addresses out there.
    The best way to take care of this is
    to grow a backbone and say no, cannot have company such and such a time. I do not have to give out any phony pretending not to be home, any thought up why I cannot have company, I just say nope.
    Couldn't care less
    I couldn't care less whether someone gives me good wishes for Christmas, Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, Winter Solstice, or just a generic "happy holidays." I also don't care what any store decides to name their holiday decorations or sales after.

    From a purely economic standpoint, it does make sense for businesses to combine holidays when they occur near each other. If they advertise only "Christmas" items, then it potentially excludes anyone who does not celebrate that holiday. The same goes for Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, etc. To market to the largest number of people, a general "holiday sale" works because each person can take from that what they want. For Christians "the holidays" in December means Christmas. For Jews it means Hanukkah. For pagans it means "Winter Solstice" (which, by the way, is where many Christmas traditions originated from, including the "Christmas" tree, but that's another story for another time).

    I guess my point is that I personally feel some people make too big a deal out of things like this. There are far more important things in this world to focus one's attention on than what a store wants to call its sales.
    Well, you should care. Clearly, you are not God filled otherwise
    you wouldn't have such negative, uncaring thinking about Christmas and not merely assume that it's all about commercialism.
