Maybe it's the fact I have IBS , but my bowels control me not vice versa. They run the show. I drive decent distances for my job so I need to stop several times a day to use public restrooms. I'll give you my washroom reviews if you a nervous public pooper. Target and Walmart latrines are the worst. Stay away. Some…

Sister-friends, I feel your pain! And I don't miss it one bit.
I live in perpetual fear that, because I overshare online, someone is going to screencap all the gross stuff I shouldn't say in public and send it to my boss.
I know. I'm not so confident that I just go in and do whatever when whoever is there, but I have a work-poop strategy: go in when nobody's in there, quickly squeeze it out (luckily my poops are conducive to this), flush, and then you're home free. I don't care if somebody comes in when I'm wiping.
Yeah, I get the feeling that even though most people are prone to become hyper-hysterical when it comes to potential outbreaks. much fewer are willing to even slightly inconvenience themselves for the sake of potentially not infecting others.
Its so rare, that actually having common sense is like having a super power! Its a bird! Its a plane! Its "Are You Fucking Kidding Me" Woman!
This woman is a NURSE. She seems to be suffering from an extreme lack of common sense. She just treated a patient who died of Ebola; she's not exactly the kind of person they're probably trained to interact with at the 1-800-DO-I-HAVE-EBOLA hotline at the CDC. And did she really feel that relying on their…
Everyone around her sounds like a moron, but here's my main Beef, she is a nurse. One would think someone w a degree in nursing would know better than to take some of the risk she took. I'm not saying she and her co worker shouldn't be able to go about their normal lives, I just wish they would've used more discretion…
If this becomes a serious disaster it's because the world is full of assholes and morons. The world can be as prepared as ever for a disaster, but there will always be idiots doing whatever the hell they please, all while endangering others. This is what is scary. The absolute negligence and selfishness of potential…
She called the CDC before her return flight to Dallas. I'm talking about thinking twice before she made the trip altogether.
I honestly think that's exactly what happened: Some low-level person read off a pre made checklist that fever begins at 100.4 gave the go-ahead ... and later someone who actually has a clue found out and did the biggest facepalm in the history of the world.
What a puzzling argument. I fully expect an RN to know to limit her interactions with the public after being exposed to Ebola. Shit, this lowly bicycle mechanic knows that.
So, is "unknown numbers of my wedding dresses are soaked in Ebola sweat and now I have to burn them all" covered under bridal shops' insurance policies? Asking for a friend.
You know, it's not ebola that's ultimately going to kill us all. It's a lack of a common fucking sense.
I think there's plenty of anger to go around. Just b/c the CDC and hospital are better positioned than she is to understand and prevent doesn't excuse her behavior. She was a nurse. This wasn't an emergency.
No. Nothing less than the death or impending death of a first degree relative or best friend would make me think the risk she took was ok. She knew she wasn't out of that 21 day window yet and chose to travel commercial anyway. It wouldnt matter to me if she was planning her wedding or planning a cornhole…
Well that's one way to describe having sex! LOL
I'm still cleaning up pieces of my husband's exploded head from when he heard that a nurse had gotten on a commercial flight with a fever after treating an ebola patient. (He is on hundreds of flights every year for work so he is especially sensitive on any issues involving air travel.) Please, universe, don't let him…
I always figured that it would be a wedding that would one day kill us all. My money would have been on improperly stored salmon though.
