My 17 year old sister was in the ICU last year with that god awful enterovirus and I slept in the room with her every night on two chairs that I had pushed together. The nursing staff were amazing about it and brought me warmed blankets and a pillow.

Glad that was settled, it was an awful lot of excitement for one night.
god’s sake I had to google that and I still don’t know what it means.
Where I live in New York, Lyme is extremely prevalent and I know many people who have had it multiple times. It can be very hard to diagnose, and if you don’t catch it soon enough it can do serious permanent damage to your body, nervous system in particular. Because it is so prevalent here, if you present with the…
I think it honestly depends on the place. I lived in a small village that had an enormous Italian population and it was a huge deal. Everywhere else I’ve lived treated it like a free long weekend.
I have never seen that gif used so perfectly. I ended up cackling like a loon in a quiet office full of people thanks to that.
YES. I get that the active shooter training has sadly become necessary, but that shit is borderline traumatizing.
I work in a university and this is one of my worst nightmares as well. After the last go-round of shootings we had a private security firm come in and teach us about the best course of action during an active shooter situation. The simulated videos they showed us were damn close to traumatizing and I have never really…
Oh god do you remember that time Kurt Loder interviewed her and called her out on using a word that didn't exist and she kept insisting it did? It was so cringeworthy and kind of mean and I wanted to cry for her.
She may have done it and it may well have been for practical reasons. I'm looking at getting braces on my bottom teeth due to crowding and it's not for cosmetic reasons(cause I honestly couldn't give a damn), but because I'm in danger of cracking them or having to have them filed or some godawful shit if they keep…
Yes, but it is on the way to warmer weather and longer days! I’m team fall, but the cold ass rain of November is soooooo depressing.
I get to order all the office supplies for my department and it might just be the best part of my job.
Yep. I have a really difficult time swallowing for some reason, but the best part is that I become completely and totally unreasonably paranoid and suspicious, which leads to near hysterical raving and threats of violence towards the people I’m convinced are screwing with me(generally the people with me). My pothead…
I’m just at a loss for how this is all even happening. Those videos are heavily edited and proven to be untrue. How are they not in violation of the law? How are they still continuing to release them? I get that the actions of today will probably go nowhere, but it is troubling that a lobbyist group can put out…
It’s the same here. We call it Hillbilly Heroin and the addiction problem stemming from it has created a major heroin problem that has resulted in a lot of OD’s. I’ve got friends and family in emergency medical jobs who every now and then will alude to a particularly difficult work weekend wherein a bad batch hit the…
I’m in my mid 30’s and I’ve got a friend who is in her late 50’s and is pretty disabled, yet has been raising her granddaughter since she was a baby for the same reason. It’s hard on everyone involved, especially the kid who is about 8. She rarely sees her mother and is to the point that when she visits me and we go…
I'm glad that it sounds like you made it through the detox. I hope that you can keep your feet on the ground moving forward.
That last bit totally has me sitting here crying for you; I’ve gone through this with friends, I can’t even begin to imagine the pain of going through it with your child. I hope that things can somehow get better and that she can get well and some of the hurt can be healed.
I had two friends in their mid thirties who SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER(did countless episodes of behind the music teach us all nothing??) who started talking a few years back about how they were going to try it because they held their recreational drugs well and it was going to be mind expanding and all the other…
