Or Linus Pauling who was an awesome person (physicist and peace activist).

I think that's why it's an awesome episode because only Denverites can get the full understanding of the nuttiness of it all.

not this week, but I'd be open to western Canada. Why, are you hiring?

I'm with you on this, I'm going on 8 months of looking for a job after graduating last May in nursing. Very few places even send a rejection letter, some send it right away and one hospital system has sent me rejections months after I applied, so I have no idea how long to wait before I stop thinking about a position…

My thought is to approach the parents at a time when the kids aren't making the hall ruckus and discuss how it affects you and what how you'd like it resolved (no hall at all or at a different time or....?). I think this would have a different impact than reacting when the problem is happening because it a) let's them…

Plague of Doves by Erdrich is such an amazing novel! I just read her latest (the Round House, I think?) and it was good as well. I feel like her writing has gotten incredibly strong in the last decade.

draw lines on paper and sew over them using a straight stitch. Then draw more lines, maybe now they form a spiral or a maze!, and sew over them. Practice practice practice. Move onto lines on fabric, maybe striped stuff or large designs you can follow, or draw something on with a pen. This all helps you learn the…

Yay for return of your car! And someone obviously didn't know the vale of a good coat. My car was broken into once and they stole the gear shift knob but left a really nice power drill I had borrowed from work without asking. Yes!

A few years ago I made the best resolution- say yes to everything. When I get invited to events or asked to do something my brain often automatically says No without even considering what it is. So I started saying Yes and ended up doing things I'd never do on my own (Irish folk dancing anyone?) and met some people I…

My favorite is Hard Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World. It was also the first of his that I read, so that may be why I liked it so much- the whole newness thing.

You state your reasons (which you really shouldn't have to a this point), you say that they'll be the first to know when it happens and then you tell them if they bring it up again that you're ending the call/visit/whatever it is and then you back that up. She obviously doesn't care about your reasons or your concerns…

smaller plates and then putting away left overs before you start eating so you can't go back for more.

I had to endure a flight once near two toddlers whose parents had brought nothing for them to keep busy with. NOTHING. Three hours of horribleness.

BC is indeed awesome.

On one trip I did from Ontario east, ending in Halifax but missing PEI (which someday I will get to!). I loooooved Montreal and would live there in a heartbeat. But instead I live in the Pacific NW which means I get to go to British Columbia on a regular basis, an okay development.

Travel is always worth it. I've done Europe and I've done the US/Canada and both were awesome in different ways.

Pay whoever it takes to NOT have the Keystone Pipeline built.

there's no positive to taking insulin recreationally, it'd be like using Lipitor or birth control pills for fun. Except insulin is much more important to life than these two examples.

Maybe try and find a position with little to no family contact and minimal time with patients who are conscience, like radiology or OR or PACU. Or maybe something in the community and not acute care.

I spent years- years!- in retail, from chains (ie Target) to small and local, and customers are pretty much the same across the board. Some awesome, some crappy.
