Push-starting is just one more good reason to own a manual. I had a dead battery once when I was parked on the sidewalk in Waikiki and friends pushed the car while I popped the clutch - in reverse and the only incline being from the sidewalk to the street. Car started right up. No need for jumper cables :)

But "bizarre Groundhogs Day of toast" is excellent writing.

You are correct. "Room air" is 21% Oxygen.

People like her annoy the crap out of me. Talk about rich white people problems. I'm staying at a hostel in the tropics where you can get fresh fruits and veggies from a daily farmers market, and the place is lousy with non-locals obsessed with their diets. I can't cook in the kitchen with them because all they…

The memory thing with ECT turned out to be a bigger problem than I initially realized. At the time,I didn't notice anything wrong with remembering things. It wasn't until years later when my daughter told me she was mad at me for forgetting Xmas that year that I started to realize the severity of the loss. Looking…

You may qualify for disability, which would give you free healthcare.

I loved the Outlander books, but I'd have to pay extra to get Starz. Do you think it's worth the money?

"Just a nurse". That's hysterical. You haven't a clue. We are the ones who tell the doctors what to do.

You are correct. And next time you are having a medical emergency, and I am the ER nurse to take cake of you, I will just take my "spoiled ass" home and just say no, I won't do CPR, I won't start an IV on this spoiled brat, I won't stick a catheter up this entitled ass's dick.

Sorry, an ipad is apparently north best way to respond.

I am not an awful human being. I volunteered to go to to Sierra Leeome to help with the Ebola crisis. I am a Reisteres Nurse whosempurposemin life is to help those that otherwise wouldn't bore helped.mmfor example, I live in Hawaii an

Am I mad as in insane? Or mad as in I've been a customer and truly think these servers need to suck it up?

You are a server? So you work for minimum wage. You deserve to. All you do is take a persons order and bring them food.

This is true. I worked as an ER nurse with both MDs and Osteopaths, and they were indistinguishable in practice. Mad respect for all of them.

Thank you for bringing up smallpox. That virus killed...wait for it...300 million people in the 20th century. I have the scar to show for my vaccination. Pretty sure no sane mother refused to vaccinate their children back in the day.

Newly sober here, and lying on the couch watching TV as much as I want is infinitely better for me than ending up in the ER with a blood alcohol content of 0.246.

The Great British Bakeoff. My fave, and if they tried to do that in the US, it would lose ALL of its charm and delight.
