The madness of my current news feed:

Subtitled: "Please help find a cure for this terrible disease affecting so many Americans!"

In a phrase: Oy vey...

Using interpreter phones in the hospital.

Alternatively... the CMed radio in Massachusetts.

Wait so posting memes runs in the family?

Torture, torture only.

RN at a hospital down south: "Hey you there in the blue, you didn't call in a note with your patient! Now what am I supposed to do with her?"
Us: "Well we called one in on C-MED."
RN: "What's that?"

After all that work, no soup for you.

Us - rescue to ED, request to speak to the doctor
ED - go ahead rescue
Us - Is this the doctor?
ED - go ahead rescue
Us - we are working a cardiac arrest, blaf, blah, blah...we request orders to stop resuscitation
ED - go ahead rescue
Us - may I have the doctors name authorizing
ED - Authorizing what rescue?
Us - stopping resuscitation
ED - What resuscitation?
:blink:

Sigh, my Mom forced me to friend my sister on Facebook (I generally don't want relatives as friends on Facebook anyways... separation of specific areas of my life given the... attitude and demeanor... of different groups I'm involved with) and it's like the right wing derp machine vomited on my news feed (note: it could have easily have been a left wing derp machine as well... derp is derp).

I'm not sure if I should just stick her on ignore or mock the posts.

There is a way to limit what you see her. If you're sick of her flooding your feeds, click on her name so that you are brought to her wall. See where it "Friends" "Message" and then has what looks like a gear with a down arrow next to it? Click on the gear, and then click on "Report/Block". A box will pop up with a list of options. Click on the button next to "Unsubscribe from ___", then click on "Confirm". It won't remove her from your friends list, but will keep EVERYTHING she posts off your feed. She won't know you've unsubscribed.

I've had to do that with several relatives. The ones I don't like the public to know I'm related to. I'm sure you know the sort, they're the ones that think 'bigot' is a compliment.

On top of this, I don't 100% remember how, but you can block them from seeing your posts without removing them from your list, also. I've had to do this with a few family members

 

[CritterNurse]

I try to avoid blocking family members, but I've had to for a couple that would post racial stuff right on my wall, and wouldn't stop when asked. At first I tried just deleting their posts, but that just seemed to encourage them to post more.

I haven't tried limiting who sees what I post, because with the size of my family, someone is bound to see it or hear of it somehow. The easier solution for me was to just not post stuff on facebook unless it didn't matter who saw it.

I thought that the process of buying a house would be fun, but this kinda sucks. Make an offer, wait, get a counter offer, wait, counter again, wait.

 

[medic417]

Anyone know of a emt job in cali? I spent a butt load of money w/o checking for how much and how many job openings there are in the area. Because of my school debt and because ems is my calling though I have never worked in it the job should pay tons.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Doesn't help when friends put stuff on your wall that your family doesn't need to see, haha.
I have no family added anymore, besides my sister. But she hangs out with me and my friends, anyways, because my best friend is dating her. Which I don't particularly like, but he's better than the last guy, so...
But there was more than a few times when they posted pictures and tagged me in stuff and my family saw it.
Like one time when me and my friend went to the drag strip for me to race; it's a huge party scene at this place though and there's a wet t shirt contest, so he snapped a pic and tagged me in it, without me knowing. I get a text like 30 minutes from my mom and I read it and I go "what picture is she talking about?" and show my friend and he's like "ohhh, I tagged you in a pic of the contest."
Deleted all my family members after that incident, haha.

Probaly one of the most stressful, pain in the butt things you will ever do. Good luck.

I forgot to delete my Ex-Gf's mom from my facebook. Its awkward when she liked a picture of me making out with a bartender at my graduation party.

I'm loving this camp gig.

...or there's the "ignore posts from this user" option. It's just a question of how spammy it gets versus how much fun I can have with it.

Lists and privacy settings are your friends. One of the problems with healthcare is that there can be a lot of shop talk... and the general public doesn't really like hearing medical shop talk.

You know I was noticing that I am friends with most of the mods. Guess being a friend allows them to keep a closer eye on me?

And for all this time I thought all those private messages were because we were friends. Guess I should have realized words like infraction and warning are not used often by friends.

They are...

Bans, on the other hand, aren't. :lol:
