If they actually DID have three cardiac arrests (which I have seen in the CCU, but not the ICU- Source: an unfortunate amount of time spent in the CCU over the years) then while the nurse was an asshole about it, they were right to prioritize those patients. A heart attack (which OPs husband had) isn’t as severe as…

There is medically a differentiator between a heart attack and cardiac arrest. If this is the CCU or ICU, it’s probable that they had multiple cardiac events (ESPECIALLY in the CCU). Cardiac arrest is when the heart just stops and the patient loses consciousness and responsiveness. If they aren’t treated immediately…

UGH. Dudes need to STAHP.

I have a hot blooded Murrican and a guy that doesn’t see the irony of telling women talking about the prevalence of sexual assault repeatedly to fuck themselves.

It has been really, really tiring. And when someone suggests that hey, maybe you don’t remember it, maybe you weren’t conscious of it, but it’s highly likely that you have managed to creep out a woman at one point in your life, they double down, tell you to fuck yourself, and go on and on about how they’d just NEVER.

I feel you. Generally, my company is great with compensation, especially once you hit certain levels.

People REALLY don’t get this. Spacey, CK, Weinstein, et al assaulted these people. And yes, in most states, that is considered sexual assault, and in every state it is sexual harassment. And it is not. fucking. okay. So, please stop minimizing it.

OPs views are shit, and I’m willing to bet money they are a straight man, more likely to be perpetrator than victim- meaning it’s highly unlikely they have experienced a “date gone wrong” on the receiving end.

Listen, I’m not sugarcoating Katrina when I say that this, not that, will be our ultimate historical embarrasment for disaster relief.

It’s really fucking astonishing and yet utterly predictable.

You can tell that this one hits the bros very close to home because the doubling down on what is chronic sexual harassment at best, and sexual assault at worst (It’s legally not considered assault in some states but it should be) is deafening.

Yeah, he’ll maybe have a throwaway mention. The show tapes on Sundays so he theoretically has time to rewrite part of the opening, but they spend the entire week working on the main segment.

For supreme whiteboy dreads, I present Thorgy Thor.

No problemo; I wasn’t trying to be hostile, and I hope I didn’t come off that way.

Not really, but Christmastime is my absolute favorite time of year and I love finding the perfect gifts for people I love. So, I tend to set money aside for gifts throughout the year. My gift goal is always “happy tears”, lol.

Love it! There are also the really weird ones that are essentially ceramic solo cups mounted on candelabra bases as well.

I don’t work at Tiffanys.

I mentioned upthread that I totally bought a few sets for my friends for Christmas (due to this weird inside joke type thing we have, and our generally agreed upon $50 gift limit).

I’ll be honest: The original article here actually propelled me to the Tiffany website and I totally bought two Manhattan Map mugs, which are cool. My friends and I also have this weird series of inside jokes about decadent Solo/ paper/ plastic cups, and I bought a few sets as Christmas gifts for them (they come in…

I’m sorry you had to live through that and never feel ashamed about how you choose to confront or not confront it.
