Sure thing! She was an RN for 40 years (mostly L&D), a nurse social worker for 5, and now she pays the bills as a RNC-NIC. She started med school at 60, and now is almost 64. She was worried that she wouldn’t be able to find work as a primary care practitioner but she had several job offers before even graduating.…

That is actually a huge relief to me. I was concerned that a legit publishing house agreed to print that crap.

I have thick wavy hair in a chin-length bob. I wash it every other day in the Summer, twice a week the rest of the year, and I rotate shampoos. I only occasionally use a tiny bit of dry shampoo for volume and the nice smell.

The manager did have a medical degree, but she was more on the administrator side than the patient care side. They werent going to let Mom retake the final, so she hired a lawyer and that did the trick. She got an A.

I had oral surgery last month, and I am on a puree diet until December. It has been 35 days since my last delicious food. I dream at night of taking bites out of talking cheeseburgers and eating salads that land me in jail. I made up a song today about how much I NEED a crunchy Dorito.

They already tried, forgot their snacks, and went to prison.

Ha! My mother is finishing a medical degree, she is in her 60s. In her last term she came down with double pneumonia and highly contagious viral pink eye. Her shitty clinical manager made her come in to take a final and treat patients anyway, and threatened to kick her out of the program if she didn’t come in.

So my…

We must have a drinking game and an open thread.

Yeah, and you would win that bet, but only because the vast majority of folks in the US are just as ignorant of history as you are.

Excuse me. I am Mrs. Skywalker. I’m the old lady. Don’t be actin all shady havin his baby. Beckys be crazy.

Thank you! I’m all like.... are they giving out medals? For what?

0/10 no orphans or giant spiders. Please try your story again.

Don’t even get me started on the incredible stupidity of every single politician. I have worked with lots of them. Clinton’s lack of understanding in tech security pales in comparison. My personal favorite from our own state legislature: “which is it, half a million or $500K? It can’t be both.” >:-/

NPR graciously assumes that she meant hijab. But who knows, she could mean Sikhs wearing Dastaars. Maybe Zoroastrians wearing caps? Or hipsters wearing floppy beanies. Or anyone wearing a head covering that doesn’t say “Make America Great Again”. Or even the dreaded people of Uzbeki-beki-beki-stan.

I will feel even safer when the TSA stops wearin them thar heebeejabis and our retired military are protecting the borders. Cheeto Jesus is looking into that.

“Attention deaf blind paralyzed and otherwise disabled passengers: call before you get here and remember to follow directions, or you deserve the beatings we give you.” - TSA

He is not! He is forever 16! You take that back!

Classy words there.

I never said that she isn’t responsible for her actions. I am saying that mental illness is a huge problem in this country, and the words we choose have an effect on people. By all accounts, this couple had been fighting for a looong time and their toxic relationship was falling apart. Provoking and taunting an armed…
