If he is of diminished capacity, why is he being allowed to apply boots to cars? If I had a guy with diminished capacity working for me, I'd let him stock shelves, mop, stuff like that, but no cash handling and definitely no detaining people (by booting their cars).

I agree. I know parents dealing with extremely difficult children who get little to no help from the community. I live in a county with lots of services, and even with that, I learned very early to team up with other parents, and exchange information, so we'd all know enough to make the best...

Looking at it from that standpoint, and knowing that the plural of anecdote is not data, maybe I should have said nothing. I do know, though, that watching my sats drop, while having no "urge" to breathe at all, was scary. Well, and the other thing that was scary was having the nurses get...

In terms of morphine not being strong enough, but being worried about the side effects, even 10mg of morphine has made me totally and utterly not care about breathing, while I was still in significant pain. Focusing on how much my kids need me while mechanically forcing myself to breathe, until...

Congratulations! I hope that, someday, the woman realizes what a gift you gave her.

I couldn't find any thread about this news. If I didn't search well enough, would someone move this, please? Does anyone know what the current status is of the people involved? This news is from last night. http://www.8newsnow.com/story/19452255/breaking-news

I'd rather have coworkers use nicotine gum or patches, by far, than use tobacco. People don't have to chew in order to quit smoking. It might be a way some folks rationalize a really gross habit, but there are other choices one can make that are easier for many coworkers to deal with.

To make sure that doesn't happen, I would advise more practice. Oh, I guess that this proposal, in addition to being great PR, was practice. Well, so do we want people to be more capable of using the ladder correctly and safely, or not? Honestly, you remind me of the manager who used to get...

Yes, I think Second Life is great for some things, not so great for others. I say this from the perspective of being what I think most people would consider to be an advanced builder and intermediate scripter in Second Life. My only real job, for which I get paid in bait, is with a major...

Well, it's only been very recently that I had enough posts to get into chat, but I thought it was a scheduled thing, like "Thursdays at 6pm Pacific Time" or something like that. If it's unscheduled, great, I will definitely drop in whenever I have time.

Wasn't it Chuck Yeager who said "know your egress systems"?

Interestingly, trying to answer the "bravest patient" thread made up my mind for me. I could not put enough detail into my story to make it interesting, without making it pretty obvious who the patient was, to any relative of his who might be on the site. Considering that when I "treated"...

I agree with this for at least two reasons. One is the empowerment aspect of it - being able to take some control and fight back against someone who did so much harm to the two of you. Another is that how "the system" treats people can be influenced by the paper trail. I ran into this with...

Well, I wouldn't say I actually throw them in, but I don't take a lot of time over it, either. If I want to do something painstaking, I'll go make a quilt or knit lace. I'd make hubby load the dishwasher, but the thing is, I'm too short to unload it, so he'd have to do it all.

Sad to say, and in spite of having loaded dishwashers since about 1967, I never do it "right", either. No matter whose dishwasher I'm loading, someone tells me I'm doing it wrong. If it's my own dishwasher, hubby always has a better idea. No, seriously, not just an idea he thinks is better...

If I am leaving a 7 year old and a 4 year old in someone's care, then maturity matters a lot to me. There are 17 year olds I would be afraid to leave them with, and yet, there have been a couple of 13 year olds I would be fine leaving them with. If I'm leaving young kids with someone, I want...

So basically EMS waits until the police have determined that they have all shooters in custody. What about the unexploded bomb that was found?

http://abcnews.go.com/US/aurora-colo-batman-shooter-james-holmes-phd-student/story?id=16817842#.UAmQ2aB0h8E I keep wondering how EMS responded to this, and how does scene safety work in this situation? I also can't help but wonder what would make this guy crack like this, and why in the...

If you're interested in saving lives every day, I think there are branches of medicine that are more likely to give you that than being an EMT-P. It seems like being a flight nurse would be more critical care per case. Being a heart surgeon might not always have the rush of the person being...

I find that the more I have my "affairs in order", as they say, the less I worry about it. I could end up in really bad shape, but I have 3 doctors, a medic, and a spouse, who would do everything they could for me. I keep trying to take better and better care of myself, because I am looking...
