This is the thread where everyone is random.

[rmr]

my cat's ass is bald :(

[Zaftig]

Why did you shave your cat's ass??


*dances around* only 8 more!

[rmr]

no

did you know that panda's are good listeners???

[Zaftig]

I was not aware of that. . what other informative random knowledge do you have?

[rmr]

that the real reason eastern airlines went bankrupt is because their pilots drank too much......it's true i swear....i have proof

http://texasinfo.net/xa5t/op8.jpg

ps i was almost a flight attendant.....yes that's true.....i was going through my third interview with eastern airlines and then they went bye bye

[Zaftig]

You just wanted to wear the little outfit!

[rmr]

yes you are correct on that one........but did you also know that it is not good to have a big mouth........

[Magpie]

Fascinating... I just found out that "cats may not run loose without having been fit with a taillight" here in Colorado. This should please Dinz.

But it *is* illegal to rip tags off of pillows and mattresses so that's a big relief.

[rmr]

i didn't know that about cats --

but i did know that about pillows and beds.....you see when i'm about ready to break up with a BF not to be confused with a GBF because i would never do this to a GBF.....anyway back on topic....when i'm ready to break up with a BF i usually tear off the tags on their beds and pillows and then call the police on them.

then i laugh when they go to prison.

see i'm wicked..

[melissa]

so very wicked...

[Hermione]

After an hour and a half.. I am done exercising. I am soo sore.

I still have to start my paper. I loathe peace studies.

[melissa]

Surbhi, have you declared a major?

[Hermione]

Political Science... I'm thinking about switching to Legal Studies

[melissa]

What do you want to be when you grow up, Surbhi? I'm not trying to pry, but I am curious about what interests people have and how that leads them to a specific focus in school and how they later apply those lessons in the real world.

[Hermione]

:)

Here I go....

I want to be an attorney when I grow up. I would like to do Criminal or Corporate Law. After doing that for a bit.. I would like to do Medical mal practice pro bono. Then hopefully I will become either a judge or a law professor.


edit:

dude.. how cool does this sound?

Judge Surbhi..

The honorable Judge Surbhi..

Professor Surbhi..

[melissa]

Good luck with all that!! You're way more ambitious than I am. I got my degree in Sociology. It's pretty straight forward and simple: People are weird. I did get to read some very interesting stuff though.

[melissa]

I like Professor Surbhi!!

[Hermione]

I was going to take a sociology class.. I dropped it the second day because I disliked the professor.. it seemed interesting though.

[melissa]

It's a very interesting subject, depending on the prof, of course. I'd recommend it if you ever need to fill a class time. I've found that a lot of what I've learned has helped me deal with other people in difficult situations.

That was my first one. (Polly Sci that is).... :)

I've heard tell that law schools tend to want students to come in as a "blank slate" when it comes to laws and legislation though ... at least that's why my friend chose polly sci too as her first degree major.

[Hermione]

hmm interesting.. maybe I'll stay. It makes sense why they want you to come in like that though.

[nycwriters]

Your first year you should take as many diverse courses as you like. Then at the end of the year see if any of them sparked any kind of passion -- or look at what you breezed through and got good grades (indication of interest).

Don't decide now. Wait until the end of next year. And yeah, take a soc course -- they're very interesting, especially social anthropology.

[Hermione]

Great advice.. Thanks!:)

I'll try to take a social anthropology course next semester.

[nycwriters]

I'm gathering things are going better than expected?

I'm glad hon. :)

[Hermione]

ha! no I still don't like it.. but I don't have much of a choice. I'm going to transfer in two years.. next year I am thinking about studying abroad.

[nycwriters]

Well I'm glad you're giving it (pardon the pun) a good college try. You never know, the school year is still young.

Overseas studies would be fantastic. I hope you get it!

[Hermione]

Me too! I really want to study in England at University College London. I think it would be a great experience.

[Frieda]

THE ****ING ASSHOLE!! JUST WHO DOES HE THINK HE IS!! :mad:

[melissa]

I have plans to go see my friend's band tonight with another friend. I'd rather stay home and read the New Yorker. I used to be so much fun.

[red]

melissa's getting old!

[Hermione]

It is sooo difficult not to procrastinate. I was supposed to finish my Peace Studies paper yesterday.. but noooo I just had to sit around doing nothing. Well at least it's not due until wednesday.

[Hermione]

You know.. I have been noticing the same thing.. when I walk down the stairs.. holy moly.. my knees hurt.

[melissa]

I feel it the most in the way that alcohol affects me. Especially the day after.

[Simage]

I quit drinking.... just not as much fun as it was when I was younger, oh... wiat... I didn't drink then either,



STAIRS SUCK MONKEY BALLS!!!

[Hermione]

dude I use that phrase ALL THE TIME and everyone just looks at me.

[Simage]

dunno where I got it from... but it just fits the situation

[Hermione]

I'm going to see my professor tomorrow about my paper.. it just doesn't feel right. I don't know if I'm doing it incorrectly so I'm going to see her so she can look it over.


oh how I miss high school.. everything I did was perfect and I knew it.:(

[Simage]

you got a thing for your proff?? :p

[Hermione]

haha.. actually my political philosophy professor is kinda hot. there is something about his nerdy jokes...

I know what it is like to be misdiagnosed and I can only imagine how it is to lose everything you have because a doctor was lazy/uneducated/clumsy. So that is why I want to provide my services for free.. i think that these families have been through enough and they don't need to pay a greedy little lawyer.. even if she is soo cute like me:)

Accountability.

Responsibility.

I was watching a program about some doctors who had rorted Medicare, some to the tune of over $1, 000,000. The head of the AMA was obviously angered by the journalist's question of how they should be punished. He took offence at the use of the word "punished" and went on to suggest it was not a matter for punishment.

It summed up the whole sorry attutude, if you ask me. Doctors, at least in their own minds, are above accountability and responsibility in this country.

[Clytie]

i see docs at their humble beginnings working in a teaching hospital. some are like you have explained here - arrogant, jerks, proud, puffed up in knowledge. and yet they all are not that way, i have been fortunate enough to work with a few very brilliant people. but as with everything (lawyers come to mind) we can be quick to judge and lump everyone together in a negative way. and even though you may WANT to offer free services...you have to have an income. money doesnt grow on trees.

[madasacutsnake]

we can be quick to judge and lump everyone together in a negative way

Five years ago, I would never have imagined myself suing for malpractice. I was of the mind that it was a betrayal of the worst kind, like biting the hand that feeds. Obviously as an RN it was a completely alien concept. At that time, I found it very difficult to imagine that people, and professional people at that, could act in such a cruel, disrespectful and dehumansing manner as they did with me.

After the episode, I remember my husband saying something about suing and I still reacted with shock that he could suggest such a thing. A week later, one of the doctors involved refused to see me. She actually tripped over her own feet as she literally ran away from me. It took me a further five months to write a letter of complaint. I was at pains to spell out the fact that all I wanted was an apology and assurance that procedures would change. The response from the hospital was that I would and could only communicate with their lawyer from that point on. So I spoke to their lawyer and their lawyer told me to "just go away".

Still, a lawsuit was furthest from my mind. I tried the Ombudsman. I tried speaking privately to the Head of one of the Departments. It took me all of this and almost a full year before I actually realised that they were not going to help me. And it was a horrible realisation. I had up until that point spent my life nursing sick babies, children, adults and old people, being responsible and accountable to them. I found it really hard to accept that other people in the health care professions do not take the trust that vulnerable people place in you as seriously as I do. And that they seemingly simply did not care.

Mistakes happen. I've made many - I am not perfect. But the least they could have done after the fact was to acknowledge, not deny.

I have suffered, my husband has suffered. My daughter has suffered. We and two sets of grandparents grieve every day that we will only have one child and that child asks almost every day for a baby sister which she won't ever have.

It is now almost five years since the incident. The fact is, their callous actions in their dealings with me afterward made my condition much worse, and yes, it has tarnished my attitude toward the profession as a whole.

But quick to judge? I think not.

[Clytie]

i wasnt trying to negate the fact that mistakes are made. or that in your case it wasnt necessary to sue or pursue as you did. i was only alluding to the american mentality to judge.


**side note** i tend to have more respect for my nurses than the docs.

Yup. Seems like Some-one is to Blame for everything.

Argh. Don't do that.



Oh well.

OK then

If you insist.

[Clytie]

i do insist! i *heart* my nurses!

[daverbee]

We had an incident a few years back in which a Neonatologist made a decision that resulted in two of our ENT docs losing a patient on the operating table.
This Neonatologist had a bad rep and some of our medical staff made it a point to have someone in the ICU whenever he was on duty.
Upshot of it is, he is now at another hospital, and the two ENT doc's were politely asked to leave with the suggestion that they be careful the door doesn't hit them on the way out.
They are both now working successfully in their own practice which is in direct competition with ours.
Our ENT Clinic has a long way to go to catch up now but our Admin was able to successfully sweep the whole thing under the rug, especially when they offered the family of the patient the world not to sue.

There are an overwhelming number of docs in our building whom I have the greatest respect for. I can't imagine any of them not taking responsibility when it is clearly theirs.
We've had a few spoiled babies but they don't seem to last long here. A couple have even learned not to overinflate their own worth.

Our nurses should all be sainted imho.

[priceyfatprude]

My Primary Care Physician (PCP) is useless. I tell him what to give me & he does it.

[daverbee]

You say that like it's a bad thing.
Ask him for some percocet. I'll PM you my mailing address...

You know it's going to be a stellar day when the crazy homeless guy outside your apartment greets you with:

"Looks like everything is dead out there, eh?"

[Spicy Jack]

I try to run from the crazy homeless people but my idiot friends will stop and talk to them. The crazy people always try to tell you your future for some reason. I only converse with the people begging for money and make them say they are going to buy alcohol "SAY IT!", then I give um a few bucks. Enjoy! Glug Glug!

[nycwriters]

I spent a night on the sidewalk sitting with a homeless guy in my hometown. I just wanted to see what his life was like, if only for a night. He was obviously out of his mind and he was using big sheets of paper to make rudimentary art with crayons and try to sell them for money -- he freely admitted it was for booze.

It was an interesting night.

If it were only flooding, I might buy that for about 1 second; but do you really want to be in a high-rise with 140 mph winds??

It's a world of laughter
A world of tears
It's a world of hopes
And a world of fears
There's so much that we share
That it's time we're aware
It's a small world after all

There is just one moon
And one golden sun
And a smile means
Friendship to ev'ryone
Though the mountains divide
And the oceans are wide
It's a small world after all

It's a small world after all
It's a small world after all
It's a small world after all
It's a small, small world

Surbi you are a wonderfully sweet, smart girl and loved by one and all.

As I small child I was stuck in the Small World "ride-HA" against my will by temoporarilly satanic parents. Even though I was only in the 4th grade at the time, I had fantasies of lobbing hand grenades into the crowds of annoying Small World Puppets...saving my last grenade to blast my way out of the rear wall of the "ride-HA".

Willing, very willing, to help flog Surbhi if she EVER mentions that vile song again.

However, I think now that you mention it that I should get some dinner.
Something with lots of yummy cheddar cheese dream machine food.

Have you tried eating a huge chunk of cheddar cheese before sleeping? It is something I learned here on Zeboard...it can cause really cool dreams sometimes. ;)

As a cheese conesieur I thought you might like to know that if you didn't already.

[Spicy Jack]

:p That explains A LOT!!!!


mmmm....cheese......

oh! That reminds me...I have wine.

Would you believe my husb. doesn't eat cheese... unless it's *in* something - like melted *in* something. Won't eat a big chunk of cheese by itself and the worst of it is he eats Velveta grilled cheese sandwiches :eek:

I asked him, "Did your parents eat cheese?"

"Well... only if it was *IN* something :rolleyes:

Sheesh, as a kid my Mom rewarded me with chunks of really sharp cheddar cheese for doing small chores. I work cheap heh.

[Hermione]

little pieces of cheese taste good. My mum bought this really good spicy cheese from Trader Joe's.. yumm

Vickie told me once that when they went to Disneyland, they actually got stuck on the Small World train and the people running the train didn't bother turning off the music. She said a half hour of sitting in that little car with that song going on over and over and over was enough to make anyone hate children forever.

That was how my Chicago in February trip was!!

[madasacutsnake]

I had Kraft Mac and cheese and I feel better now.

[Avalon]

I just had piece of that new Hershey's bar Double chocolate.
Double yech,yuk and ick.

[melissa]

After I get paid, I'm going to send myself flowers at work.

I worked with some-one who did that. Only we all knew that she did it and we laughed behind her back.

[Spicy Jack]

hmmm...that's what i need to do!

I have a new little table in my office that is screaming for flowers. Since no one is sending them to me anytime soon....hrmmmmm

[melissa]

Oh, I won't pretend that they are from someone else. I don't care if they laugh at me either.

[Spicy Jack]

me too! I want flowers damn it! something to get the dead people smell out of there :o

:(

sorry. nevermind.

[madasacutsnake]

Just don't put some icky code on the card like, if memory serves, "pvssy bantam" and pretend like you don't know what it means but that you really do wink wink.

Otherwise your colleagues will call you chook pvssy.

[melissa]

Hey, Spicy!! I'll send you flowers if you send me flowers.

So we've all got the joke now, right?

[madasacutsnake]

"your penis is our little secret xxx"

[Spicy Jack]

;) *phew* gotta brush up on my aussie. i thought the wine with the cute little kangaroo on the front would help, but i guess not :(

:D

[joppa.gal]

I think you should send yourself a singing telegram at work about the "bantam" with the "rash". He can deliver the flowers there.

[melissa]

I don't know if Portland has any singing telegrams. I'll look into it.

[Spicy Jack]

I WANT A NACHO GRAM!

YAY!! My wonderful hair stylist, who I haven't seen in forever, just called me back to make an appointment and is letting me write him a check that he won't deposit until I get paid and have the funds to cover it!! What a great guy. And he's amazing. He's a father of 2 kids, he's gay, owns his salon in downtown, is an artist and he's an Iron Man/triathalete!! Damn, he always looks good.

[zenbabe]

I just saw a girl puke on a $120,000 mercedes out my window....damn...life is good...

[trisherina]

A friend of ours once solicited postcards from women for a buddy who had joined the Marines. Reportedly his drill sergeant was fond of reading the postcards aloud before handing them out, and dispensing pain if he found them inappropriate.

I sent one showing a cartoon fella in a body cast with a woman at the bedside.

"Dear ____, (I wrote)

It was great to meet you, and I'm so sorry you had to go off to training camp. The welts and scars on my heart are the only permanent reminders of our whirlwind romance. I can only hope that the Marines giving you the "right" kind of discipline, too.

All my love,
Lucinda"

I have a headache. Where's the Aleve? My doctor won't let me use Goody's Headache Powder any more...

[Avalon]

Why ?^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

[daverbee]

Why what?
The headache is probably tension.
The no Goody's is due to the cardiac condition...

That and it probably chews his stomach lining to shreds...

CONGRATS ON THE NEW PC, CHUCKIE!!

YAY!!!!

[rmr]

Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Whatever colors you have in your mind
I'll show them to you and you'll see them shine

Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Stay, lady, stay, stay with your man awhile
Until the break of day, let me see you make him smile
His clothes are dirty but his hands are clean
And you're the best thing that he's ever seen

Stay, lady, stay, stay with your man awhile
Why wait any longer for the world to begin
You can have your cake and eat it too
Why wait any longer for the one you love
When he's standing in front of you

Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Stay, lady, stay, stay while the night is still ahead
I long to see you in the morning light
I long to reach for you in the night
Stay, lady, stay, stay while the night is still ahead

[topcat]

rmr, you have lovely voice. Please sing another song.

[rmr]

thank you topcat -- here you go:

So I sing you to sleep after the loving
With a song that I wrote yesterday
And I hope that it's clear what the words
And the music have to say

It's so hard to explain all the things that I'm feeling
Face to face I just seem to go dry
But I love you so much that the sound
Of your voice can make me high

Thanks for taking me
On a one way trip to the sun
Thanks for turning me into a someone

So I sing you to sleep after the loving
And I brush back the hair from your eyes
And the love on your face is so real
That it makes me want to cry........

And I know that my song isn't saying anything new
Oh, but after the loving, I'm still in love with you

So I sing you to sleep after the loving
With a song that I wrote yesterday

[topcat]

execellent! nice choice.

[rmr]

thanks....one more since it's Friday..........

Oh, it's Sunday morning and the sun is shining,
In my eye that is open, and my head is spinning.
Was the life of the party; I can't stop grinning,
I had too much Tequila last night.


Jose Cuervo, you are a friend of mine.
I like to drink you with a little salt and lime.
Did I kiss all the cowboys?
Did I shoot out the lights?
Did I dance on the bar?
Did I start any fights?

Now wait a minute, things don't look too familiar,
And who is this cowboy who's sleepin' beside me?
Well, he's awful cute, but how'd I get his shirt on?
I had too much tequila last night.

Jose Cuervo, you are a friend of mine.

Instrumental break.

Oh, those little shooters, how I love to drink them down.
C'mon, bartender, let's have another round.
Well the music's playing and my spirits are high.
Tomorrow might be painful, but tonight we're gonna fly.

Jose Cuervo, you are a friend of mine.
I like to drink you with a little salt and lime.
Every time we get together, I sure have good time.
You're my friend, you're the best, mi amigo.

The only thing I didn't like about them was the taste. They're so horrible you forget you have a headache!
I think it's the caffeine he wants me to avoid.

Hey Rimmie... When that song ("Lay Lady Lay") came out, my sister was in high school and I was in 1st grade. My mother wouldn't allow it to be played (a 45' record) in our house, deeming it "scandalous" :eek:

I think that was the same year that I got pissed at my sister (we shared a room) for seperating our bedroom w/masking tape and showed my mom where my she hid her cigs in the closet :D

[Frieda]

oh rimmie i love you!! :)

hahahaha -- sounds like my sister and I.....we had to share a room growing up (why don't kids have to do that anymore) and she was 8 years older then me so she had no tolerance what so ever. She used grab me by the hair and say "big pull" or "little pull"....same with pinching me. I quickly learned that the “big pinch” didn’t hurt as much....i had a traumatic childhood :rolleyes:

my mother had a big problem with the billy idol video "white wedding".....she caught me watching it and started screaming.....you're watching bondage.. you’re watching bondage….. ...I was like what's bondage (had no clue) and started asking around..........so my mother in a way let me know what it was......................:eek: .............sick!!! My sister found the whole thing really funny and took one of my old barbie's and duct taped it and all this stuff and hung it from the ceiling with a note that said BONDAGE BARBIE.......my mom thought I did it and grounded me..........that reminds me......i still owe that beeyatch one.

[Spicy Jack]

I starting chewing a piece of gum and camethisclosetoyacking.

:(

[daverbee]

Raw meat flavored chewing gum will do that to you. Check the expiration date next time.
Have some nachos to compensate!

[melissa]

I'm so excited it's friday. so freakin' excited.

[trisherina]

I have a house fulla groceries, a wine rack fulla Wolf Blass, and RatMan is bringing home The Sims 2. Geek bliss!

[madasacutsnake]

Wolf Blass is not geek. I'll take you to the winery if you ever visit.

[trisherina]

If I lived that close to Wolf Blass, I'd splash Yellow Label on my Frosted Flakes.

[madasacutsnake]

And I don't?

I cut up a whole canteloupe into bite sized bits and put it all in a Tupperware container in the fridge. I feel almost as proud as the day when, post-partum (after a delivery which featured, for those of you familiar with obstetrical lingo, a fourth degree tear), I called RatMan into the kitchen to show him the freezer door lined with maxi pads that I had sprayed with water and left to freeze. A little planning does so much for quality of life.

[nycwriters]

I just had an epiphany.

I just figured out how to make my millions.

I've put out some feelers. Hopefully they'll respond.

I'm positively giddy.
