Pssst! Got a sec to chat? We are utterly thrilled when readers want to hang out and talk – whether it's amongst themselves or in response to pieces we've posted. We want Eatocracy to be a cozy, spirited online home for those who find their way here. Consider the daily Coffee Klatsch post as your VIP lounge – the primary comments thread for readers who'd like to chat about topics not related to the articles we're running. That way, everyone knows where to find each other, and each post's comments section remains on topic. |

Ok folks, I am out. Talk to y'all in the morning.
Emergency medical Services. I want to become a paramedic, first as an EMT. Tonight's test covers about 300 pages on patient azzessment, baseline vitals and airway management, along with small chapters on documentation and communications. Fun, fun, fun.
Airway Management taught by Professor Linda Lovelace.
Funny you mention that, but one of the questions we have to ask in getting a patient's history is "last 0ral intake", which usually gets giggles. (it really means when did the patient last eat or drink)
I wonder if the person who wrote the manual was thinking how the words could be misconstrued? And the manual had to go through probably several reviews and modifications before it was approved for publishing. Didn't ANYone get the innuendo??? (color me baffled about that one!)
This just in. "President Barack Obama's re-election campaign is launching what it calls a "Truth Team" to promote the president's achievements by responding to attacks on his record by Republicans and holding the eventual GOP presidential nominee accountable." That is all.
The irony of that term is just killing me...:)
How is everyone doing today? I am butt deep in studying, but I miss this place...
Yeah, I thought the same thing. LOL! Yeah slugging through a cra p load of work here. Stuff that is 3 years old. I can't stand accounts payable.
"The rules of logic have no ability to distinguish truth on their own. An individual must determine what standards distinguish truth from falsehood. Not all criteria are equally valid. Some standards are sufficient, while others are questionable."
Your riposte?
"bu tt deep?" What, pray tell are you studying?
You have AP that's three years old?!?!?!?!? What field are you in!??!?
soccer!
Good morning and Happy Valentines Day Eve! :) Must find a hear shaped pizza to deliver to hubs tomorrow for lunch...
I've Never had a Pizza that would listen to me....
Ok, ok, so I missed the "t"! A heart shaped pizza is kind of wrong isn't it, since it is not particularly good for the heart....
It's the thought that counts, Soooooo...Double up on the ingredients, add some garlic bread and plenty of napkins. Don't forget Odie either.
I knew a Dr. Repair years ago.
Howdy ho. Nice, grey, overcast morning in "sunny" southern California.
Top of the morning folks!
Good morning everyone! Hope everyone had a great weekend!
Saw bits and pieces of the Grammys last night, including some pretty awesome moments.
WD's dox name (Dr. Hicks) brought to mind two doctors' names that were comically appropriate to their specialty:
Hubby had a urologist named Dr. Hatchett.
I had a foot doc named Dr. Corn.
QOD: Have you had a doctor whose name was apropos to their field?
No Joke, A Proctologist named--Dr. Fingerling.
We used to have two cardiologists Drs. French and Fry. Their office was down the hall from a nephrologist, Dr. Hamburger.
I knew a prost itute once named Iam Hobag...
Was she a Dr. of Sexology?
Dude, don't talk about your sister like that.
Back in my childhood days – my pediatrician was Dr. Meenie – I was deathly afraid of him when I was little.
Was he blue?
Good Monday morning, all. I'm hoping for a quiet Monday although I do have the lovely task of informing my manager that HIS manager overruled one of his decisions. That's bound to be a fun conversation, huh?
I overRuled both of 'em. Got to start the week off right.
As she says, UMMMM is not an answer!
A Man's Got to Know His Limitations...UMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!
Has that happened before? It's SOP where I work. After this going on for years, I don't think twice about going to my to my boss, tell him that his boss said X, then let 'em duke it out. Kinda like lobbing a brisket between Rich & WD and see who gets the biggest piece. HA!
That's how it started. I questioned the decision myself, went directly to 2nd line, got his answer and the assurance that if my manager has any q's he will agree. Its a difficult situation anyway since I have a better working relationship with the 2nd line than I do with manager.
Busy Monday. Cappuccino and mini bagel...
Good morning everyone! Getting out the wedding invites today...also hoping to find some happy pills...
What's up? You're down?
The music in this song gets takes me to my happy place. Maybe it'll work for you, too. )))))hugs(((((
just stressed with all the wedding stuff...too many people are trying to be involved and it makes me want to scream!
I'm with you 100% Dear Lady. If I may offer some advice, please DO scream. :)
Work out HARD
Scream into a pillow
Go somewhere where you know there's no one else around and howl like David Naughton in werewolf makeup.
However you choose to do it, please release that tension. It's not going to go away and you don't want to accidentally alien8 someone you love.
wait...so killing a groomsman is a bad idea :-( I'm trying to get out of town for a weekend but the latest drama (groomsmen) will probably keep that from happening.
I'm doing Zumba as much as I can but sometimes (like the morning) I just want to throw something (like a tupperware container)...thinking this is not healthy.
Also, s3x is a great way to relieve tension....just sayin'.
Throwing Tupperware that no one knows about isn't harmful. I hear tell that Thing 1 & 2 do that frequently. Throwing a cast iron skillet at the head of a groomsman when your nickname is "Deadeye." = not such a good thing.
Gooood morning everybody. Hope you all have a wonderful Monday the 13th today. We had a lazy day yesterday for many reasons and didn't get to the State Fair as planned. Instead, we're making plans now to go to the Strawberry Festival in March.
How YOU doin'?
Morning Sista'-WhazzzzzzzUP in CFL? What a Crappy Weekend. As I told my Brother Truth...NO Football,NO Baseball,tho I will get my Nascar fix this weekend. And on the bright side, My Baylor Lady Bears kicked some Texas A & M buttowski on Saturday.
Whoa. I didn't know I lived in a light bulb! That would explain the constant stream of great ideas I keep having.
Wasabi yourself Bro! :))) What's the latest scoop on WD? Have you heard anything yet? Do I need to go muss up a doctor for ya?
Finally Heard back on Friday. In her opinion it is two benign growths on each butt cheek. Gonna have Dr. Hicks ( my main Man ) have a look at her this Friday. She's eating like a small horse and seems to be doing fine. We'll see.
Awesome! That's great news Bro!
After staying up late to watch the 2012 Grammys, Evil Grin & his Evil GF relax with a Cuban coffee & a latte, respectively.
She sighs and says, "Well, that was disappoionting. How are we going to get THOSE 6-1/2 hours of our lives back?"
With his thick, strong coffee starting to kick in, his evil grin gets wider and he says, "I have an idea. And we can make it last 7 hours. Follow me!"
Evil Grin and his Evil GF stop to sip their coffees, content that their Mime classes are going very well.
Melancholy before invigorating........ er...... "activities."
Chai before TEA, Espresso before COFFEE. Delicate lounging before Couch Potatoing.
This should last AT LEAST 6 horizontal hours.
