In Reply to: Why so much animosity? Why can't we - mt2
Why such a division? The bottom line is that we all just want to communicate with people in the same field of work. This does not give anyone the right to slam the "other board" or certain people. Sounds like some of you just need to get a life.

For crying out loud people...
it is a TV show. If most of you put the time and energy you spend here being moral police and put it to some good use in the world, think of the things you could accomplish! Sounds like there are a bunch of insecure women out there. Face it, there are beautiful women on this earth and every man looks at them, no matter how whipped and controlled he is. It is nature, men are visual creatures. Face it, would your man rather look at a pretty woman all dressed up or someone in sweats who does not care about her appearance? Good luck trying to keep your man under lock and key... a perfect way to lose them!
Mine does that weird loud crying
when she has her toy mouse- but it doesn't even have to be her mouse, it could be a milk jug lid thingy, but she walks around the house with it in her mouth and crying- it is the most mournful sound, I hate it. It makes me wonder if she thinks it is one of her babies?
She is the funniest cat. Her favorite thing to eat is french fries, and she chows the whole thing down. My other cat loves yogurt and you cannot eat yogurt in peace in my home.
Oh for crying out loud! Drink some warm milk and
ajd;d
Don't bother getting into this field
your not going to make any money working for a company. The only way to make money is to own a business, and just starting out can be very expensive.
There are many of us trying to get out of this field for various reasons - mainly the BS that companies give us.
Oh Boy! Field Trip! nm

Sally Field
I was just noticing Sally Field's hair on TV the other day - I think it looks good on her. . I kinda like longer hair - mine doesn't grow that much so I don't have as many options as some people.
the field trip?
I dont know. I wrote that in response to a thread below that talked about it. I do know that in this day and age any time a Christian tries to speak out about their beliefs, we are condemned. If a Christian wants their rights upheld, we are told that we shouldnt try to shove our religion down others throats. We cannot pray in school if we want. They take God out of the pledge of allegience because it is offensive to others. Well taking him out is offensive to ME. Our country was founded on a basic belief in God. We were God fearing people and there was NOT tolerance for things that went against him. But we have had political correctness shoved down our throats for so long that what used to be wrong is now right. We have become desensitized to sin. But God did say that this would happen and that in the end days his followers would be treated this way in his name. So I guess that is fine with me. I will always stand up for my Saviour, Jesus Christ, and I will always try to tell people about what he did for them, no matter how bad of a reaction or treatment I get.
You ask about 1 thing and others go off in left field
I have known this man for 33 years now- he was my friend before my husband. The person who talked about still waters running deep is right on with the kind of man my husband is. I know where he was born, where he has lived, his family and most of all I know his heart and what a heart! He is the most perfect man I think I have ever met- including my father and brother- kind, considerate, thoughful, prayful, hard-working. He brings me things home because "he was just thinking about me." I can reach him even at work 24/7. He does not drink, does not smoke, is respectful, loving, married late in life, no other wives, no other children. He is a thinker, a doer and the kind of man anyone would love to have. Most who know me tell me I am extremely lucky, even my 86-year-old aunt said she wished she had met him first- I would have had a run for my money! Here an older southern white woman saying he is right up at the top of her list for people she likes! She is an aunt I always went to for advice- looks like she is still right in her thoughts. To make an issue about my not knowing where he went to school or how much school is such a minute thing for me- I have riches untold just for him being in my life and I give thanks quite a bit to above.
I remember my dad embarrassing me on the field (sm)
This was a different era, I played in the late 70s and early 80s... and there was a lot of drinking in the stands! We lived very close to the ballpark and my dad would walk to my game with a cocktail. I didn't really think about the drinking part back then, but looking back now I realize that is what was happening. But I will never ever forget my dad running right onto the field and yelling and pushing the umpire. He embarrassed me many times. And yes the other kids noticed and it was brought up at school. And guess what? I played in high school and college and even in a semi-pro league and once I was in control of getting my own self to games I never even gave him a schedule because I'd rather he just not go to the games. I'm a coach now and I can kind of help the kids along with parents get out of hand, but there are certain parents I wish would get kicked out! Please just enjoy the game for what it is.. a time in your child's life he/she will never forget (good or bad). 
Thanks to both of you, even though I'm crying again now.
;o}
Also CRYING MOM IT IS NOT RIGHT
LOL.
OMG, I am crying with you
This is just too fresh in my mind, having just lost my lab, Murphy less than 3 weeks ago. I know what you are feeling and what you are going through. I cried and cried over making the decision. The vet sent me a wonderful card stating that sometimes the kindest thing we do for our pets is to say good bye. Murphy just gave me a look when it was time. I can't explain it, but I know he was trying to tell me that the suffering was too much. I read somewhere the dogs are very stoic. They don't tend to show pain unless it is pretty severe, and his cries told me that it was pretty severe.
As far as the buriel, the vet's office asked right up front on the phone. I had the choice of cremation, a common buriel (here it is at a farm as we are a little on the rural side) or taking the body. Talked to my sons, and my oldest said he would bury him, that he wanted him at home. The vet wrapped him up very nicely for us, but did give us the option to do it ourselves. Bless my son. Murphy was a big dog, nearly 90 pounds, and my son had to work hard to dig his grave. I am planning on planting a small flower bed there as well, as it is in the back corner of my yard, which is pretty barren right now.
Anyhow, it should be your choice. Just tell them up front what you want when the time comes. I am so, so sorry you are going through this. I wouldn't want to be in your shoes for anything right now. Just keep telling little Fox how much you love him (though he knows that). Please keep us posted on how things go for him.
Well, I'm crying too, again! Well, you say sm
"she did what was in her heart." But I think what happened here is she didn't do what was in her heart. She did the right thing by walking away and coming back home, but she said she feels as if her heart is still back home. That's what makes it so sad. It totally caught her off guard - she didn't expect to feel that way after 20 years.
I just have to stay away from my home town, I guess. LOL
How much money would you give towards this field trip....sm
16-year-old comes in from school today and says the drama teacher has invited the 3rd and 4th year drama classes to go to New York in March for a week to see shows and tour the city. Supposedly the cost would be around $700, including airfare from Atlanta, lodging, meals, tickets to shows, etc. I asked what fundraisers were going to be held and she had no idea if any would be. Personally I don't see how they can do the trip to include meals, travel, hotels, shows, etc. for just $700 a person and am presuming that's going to be around the amount that would be proposed to the students to pay after fundraisers are done.
My daughter asked how much I'd contribute to the cause.
She doesn't work and doesn't drive (scared to learn so we don't push it - don't want her to drive if she doesn't want to).
She is a good student.
I told her first off that she would also need to get a job because we're not going to pay all of this ourselves and take away the money from the family vacation for next year (we do a family budget of $1000 for vacations and that's for 4 of us).
We're not rich but do put "x" amount of money into the savings account each month as we want to move to a different area in a couple of years.
So.... how much do you think we should require her to raise herself and how much should we pay? I was thinking that maybe to contribute $200 would be plenty generous and let her get a part-time job after school/weekends to raise the rest + spending money. Do you think I'm being a cheapskate for that or do you think it's a fair amount?
Marching on the field at band camp ...sm
it was my freshman year of high school. One of the adult volunteers heard it on the radio, ran to the band director crying and insisted that he stop the practice because of the news.
Back in the 1970s my dad call me outside. Over the field in
front of our house was a large orange ball just sitting in the sky. A couple of neighbors came over and we watched it for over 30 mins, it just sat/hung there and then finally just disappeared. To this day we have no idea what it was.
Field trip to see lesbian wedding
First-graders in San Francisco took a field trip to City Hall to celebrate the marriage of their lesbian teacher on Friday, but opponents of same-sex marriage in the state say the field trip was an attempt to “indoctrinate” the students, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.
The field trip was suggested by a parent at the Creative Arts Charter School, and the school said the trip, where students tossed rose petals on their teacher and her wife as they left City Hall, was academically relevant.
"It really is what we call a teachable moment," said Liz Jaroslow, the school’s interim director, according to the newspaper. She said same-sex marriage had historic significance. "I think I'm well within the parameters."
California will vote on Nov. 4 on Proposition 8 which seeks to ban same-sex marriage in the state, and supporters of the measure say the field trip shows that allowing same-sex marriage will mean it’s taught to school children, the newspaper said.
"It's just utterly unreasonable that a public school field trip would be to a same-sex wedding," said Chip White, press secretary for the Yes on 8 campaign, told the Chronicle. "This is overt indoctrination of children who are too young to have an understanding of its purpose."
Okay, now what was up with the judge *crying*
I have never in my life seen or heard of a judge breaking down and crying like that. It just got more bizarre by the minute. I seriosly think he has some sort of mental disorder. WOW!
Can anyone watch this without crying?
http://youtube.com/watch?v=PYBz2gjEfA
I sure couldn't. It gets me so upset I actually felt ill, but at the same time I wish everyone thinking of getting a pet could watch it. Hope I posted the link correctly. It's on shelter animals. The title is "In Hope, An Animal Shelter Story."
Crying my eyes out, here!
I finally watched the slide show the whole way through and am bawling like a baby.  Geez! What a kid and what a family. They are all in my prayers.
I was crying my eyes out!
Isn't Meryl Streep just the bomb! What an awesome actress!!! She transforms herself into her characters unlike anyone I've ever seen, I just love watching her act.
Oh for crying in the corn
I've put in zillions of urinary catheters in males. I've cleaned behind foreskins. I've "dug" people out when they've had more problems than milk of magnesia can handle. (I'm a nurse turned transcriptionist.) That's totally more intimate than dancing with someone. I have never cheated on my husband even with those experiences. LOL
If these people cheat, it's not the dancing's problem, it's the person's problem.
I do not care for this show one bit, so I'm not defending it at all. I just think this argument is not terribly valid.
If you don't stop crying, I am just going to

crying (over you), Roy Orbison and
you've lost that loving feeling by the righteous brothers.
Crying all morning.....sm
I have been married 15 years....this morning my husband came in and said, "Eric said your storage building is ready!" You might think I would be happy. He thought I would be. The problem is that in 15 years of marriage I have been able to pick out nothing. I mentioned a few weeks ago that I would like an outside storage building. I mentioned a couple I had seen. My husband did not discuss it with me at all but went to the neighbor and had him build a storage building. I have no idea what it will look like, no idea what size, what color, anything. It wouldn't be such a big deal but I honestly don't get to pick anything out.
11 years ago I had just had a baby and my husband picked out our house while I was home recovering from a c-section. He told me this was where we were going to live. He had refused to even look at any of the houses I had liked during my pregnancy. He told me we would remodel this house any way I wanted, get any furniture I wanted. I was so anxious to get out of the rundown noisy apartment building we were in that I agreed to move here. Then of course, no remodeling, no new furniture.
Three years ago I really needed a new car. My husband said he would start looking for one. HE would start looking for one for me. A year later HE had still not found one. I found a used, reasonably priced car and told him I wanted to buy it. He said no. I told him I really needed a vehicle. It was less than $10,000. He finally agreed but was mad at me for a year over it and told his parents that I had gone out and bought myself "a new car". It was actually 4 years old. A year ago he bough a boat for $10,000 that I had never even seen and brought it home and announced we had a new boat. Six months ago he bought a $30,000 truck and took me to see it at the dealership after he had already bought it.
So now I am a b*tch for not being happy about the new storage building. woohoo
Yes being in this field and/or having had chronic "mystery" health problems (sm)
You do quickly learn that physicians are only human and they don't know everything. We really have to take a lot of responsiblity for our own health and that of our family members who may not have the same knowledge. We do not know as much as physicians know about medicine, but we know more than they do about our own bodies and our family members and we just might have the insight they need to put together a diagnosis.
Good for you for writing to them!
I know how it is...sometimes rather loud...sm.
but I do love when the boyz come by, pick up the guitars and we just rock the house!  Cat

OH man, we are loud . . .
I came from a family of 8 children and my voices carries even at a whisper. It doens't help that I think transcription is making me deaf so I can't hear myself talk. I wish I could be quieter, I just have these big lungs and this big voice and it seems like we talk at a high roar all of the time. My husband and I were just talking about that this morning. We went out to eat last night and I found myself hushing my children and looking at the people around us staring at us as we had a very "normal, lively" dinner conversation!!!! YIKES.
Laughing Out Loud.

Laughed out loud sm
When I was in high school I workd at a Dairy Queen and we got soooo sick of people saying they wanted their order to go while at the drive-thru. One night (it was winter so we were quite slow) we were bored and decided to ask every customer if they wanted their order to go. We thought is was hysterical but some of the customers failed to see the humor. Not only a lot of sarcastic responses, but a couple of customers used a few words I can't repeat, which made it even funnier to us.
My oldest furgirl is dying and I am crying
I have just called the veterinarian's office to see if there was anything they could give me to ease her pain, should she be in any which I do not think is the case. I have had her since she was born at my home so it is almost unbearable today. The vet had told me about a week or so ago that her organs were probably failing due to some lab tests she had. I gave her some water with a syringe and even tried feeding her some this morning as I do not want her to be hungry nor thirsty. She is laying on a blanket and I have a cover on her. Besides my having her put down which is really hurting my heart- she has been with me all these years- is there anything I can give her so she is not having a painful death and I just don’t know about it. Thanks everyone.
I'm still crying! *Don't read this if you Tivo'd the show!*
First off, I can't believe Alex said that stuff to Izzy! Even if he didn't mean it, what a jerk! And then to have her code like that, just when she started to remember things - like what he said!
Second, I heard that George was leaving the show, so him joining the Army was kind of a shock, but I thought that would be a nice way for him to leave - you know, go out all hero and stuff. Did they really have to kill him?!
And last, why can't Derek and Merideth just get married already! I mean, they sort of did, but not really! Come on!
I'm so frustrated that now we have to wait until this fall to find out what's happening! AAGGGGHHHH!
Okay, I'm waaayy to into this show!!! =)
I put *warning, graphic* in the subject field, but apparently it didn't show up. nm

What is the MOST outrageous thing you've seen/heard while working in the medical field?
While working in an oncology office I had a heartbreaking conversation with a newly-widowed young mother of 2. Apparently healthy husband suddenly turned up with a brain tumor, which killed him pretty quickly. The life insurance company did their due diligence and investigated the case, since the policy was issued only weeks before the diagnosis; but the patient had NO indications of illness at the time, and the medical records basically proved the negative; he hadn't been to a doctor because he wasn't sick.
In the course of discussing the point with the claims examiner, the widow told him it wasn't about the money (although she was going to need it to raise her 2 kids by herself). She'd FAR rather have her husband back. The claims examiner said he'd far rather have the woman's husband back too...
... wait for it ...
... because if he were still alive, he'd still be paying premiums to the insurance company!
Yes, it really happened.
I suggested the widow contact the state insurance commissioner's office and report the guy. Even if what he said/did was not precisely illegal, it was WRONG, WRONG, WRONG.
one meaning LOL=laughing out loud.....
You made me laugh out loud!!!! nm

Felt same way, but laughed out loud when

I saw SiCKO yesterday - it's a LAUGH-OUT-LOUD
very very eye-opening and it's truly laugh-out-loud funny, not terribly *political* in the sense that 911 movie was.....but REALLY really funny, interesting, and eye opening to say the least - best 2 hours I've had of late......
oh, it was 4:30 in the afternoon and the theater was full - I was surprised actually...and full of people of all ages, denominations, cultures, red state-blue state, et al.....all having an interest in what is going on here regarding healthcare.
TRULY not to be missed by all except children (who would get bored)!!
Leave your politics at home and go see Moore's best yet.....this is a human issue.......this particular movie.....
Okay, I have actucally laughed out loud today. Thanks! nm

I agree with that along with loud obnoxious ring tones.
Laughing out loud just thinking of Herman Munster. nm

That seems to be debatable even in the medical field. Disease or not disease?
things that could lead to diabetes and hypertension are true, they are still diseases and could obviously occur with or without staying away from known causes.
But for you to come here and say alcholism is "NOT" a disease is a little extreme and maybe should have been accompanied by IMO? That is my opinion anyway.
