Truth. Example modern dating BS: The most recent guy I was seeing texted that he would call me at a certain time one night. He never did so I sent a text a few hours just to check in. A DAY later after not hearing back I texted the usual “everything alright?” kind of text and he literally responded that I needed to…

Damn. My sympathies, buskerdoo. I think that last sentence is very relevant to my friends. It seems everyone who is dating right now is kind of floundering in this weird grass-is-greener, miscommunication, absorbed-in-ADD-technological-communication thing. I hope that makes sense haha. It looks to me like the movie…

I’m happier about the hidden dog.

Yeah, it’s rough what they make them go through. My first time out of bed after more than a week of hospilitization, most of that in a medically induced coma, the staff was smart enough not to let me walk to the bathroom by myself.

Nursing itself is great. It’s the corporate cutting and the lack of safety precautions that drives people from the bedside. I really don’t understand how those long-term nurses survive for so long and don’t burn out. Although the ANA is working on nurse injury prevention and safe patient moving/lifting, they can only…

I heard that story on NPR and was amazed and horrified. I’m glad the hospital is getting slammed for it, they all should be supporting their staff. The board can take a pay-cut!

They are so goddamned proud of their guiding mantra: “We eat our young”.

Sorry about your mum. They take advantage of caring people like your mum as they know they don’t do it for the money. It’s a disgrace.

Ugh, as the daughter of a teacher I can feel for your mom. My mom was a special ed teacher for many, many years. Before that she taught Head Start in rural WA, before that taught on the rez in AZ, and before that started her career working in inner city Detroit in the 1960’s (your mom and mine can keep each other…

Can she make a workman’s comp claim?

“The Truth Hurts” is a campaign going on in Ontario right now. It’s meant to draw attention to the flaws in the system and to the problems nurses like your mother endure every day. Your mom deserves a rest, not to mention a decent retirement.

I am a female physician. I did my residency in the 1990s and I remember the nurses as a godsend. We had to run the ER as residents when we were one year out of medical school. It was a busy urban ER and drug overdoses and end stage HIV (it was during the height of the epidemic and there was no great treatment) as well…

Are we sisters?

I do enjoy cuddling with my mom, but sometimes she'll take it too far and get all grabby.

what a time to be alive

Yeah. I mean, gender issues aside, I sort of feel like there’s not a lot of reasons any journalist should ever be sitting on the lap of someone they’re interviewing, much less a presidential candidate.

donald’s face is making me genuinely uncomfortable.

Good ol’ fashioned fingerbanging is highly underrated, in my opinion. See also: morning sex and over the clothes play.

William’s ex-gf penned a rather interesting reply on HuffPo where she called bullshit on his whole ‘I-was-too-good-at-at-it-so-she-squirted’ line.

lol, you literally just did the longform version of #notallwhitepeople.
