Tacit, right?

Good to know. While reading that story, all I could think was that poor kid couldn't even eat a McDonalds cheeseburger and fries.

"You just KNOW he snores" had me laughing so hard! Thanks for that.

I've lived in Hawaii for twelve years and there is NO good Chinese food here. I still dream about the smoked ham at Henry's Hunan in downtown SF.

I hope someone can answer for you. In the meantime I recommend this book, available on Amazon and on Kindle: Codependent No More, by Melodie Beattie. Helpful for both issues. It's helpful for just about any interpersonal issue and very helpful for learning healthy boundaries.

I would get a second opinion, for sure!

Personally I wouldn't go sleeveless, especially if it's in a church.

I think in Alaska people need to protect themselves from bears.

I was in almost constant pain for six years, four shoulder surgeries including a joint replacement. Tried countless methods of non-opiate pain relief without help, but was reluctant to try cannibis because the two times I'd done it years earlier, I was so miserable I wanted to die. I was so in my head, like a bad…

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?

I have been maligned since you called me an awful person. I am not, and think you owe me an apology.

you are incorrect. If being a nurse is not customer service, I don't know what is. I'm the one who wipes your ass and I don't complain about it.

"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.
