and if you feel threatened by it at all, and you have told him to go away, you can file a restraining order or hand him a supena (sp?)

[Ender 8]

Subpoena, I think. Something like that.

[Andy 60]

Just kick him in the nuts. That'll sort him out. :p

[Princess 35]

[Radioactive Isotope 29]

Beyonce and Usher are not R&B. BBKing is R&B. Trust me. He lives here. I know. Beyonce and Usher are just plain rap. Although if you want to hear "gansta" rap, try 666 Mafia, they're closer.... and they live in Memphis, too.

So does Steven Segal, Cybal Shepard, and Justin Timberlake *starts twitching at the last one* And is his mama ever a bith! The boy can't sing! He's worse than ugly, his music blows, and that whole Super Bowl thing was RETARDED!!! GET OVER YOURSELF WOMAN!!!!

Oh, how I love the B.B. King. I'm going to see him in August.

k the hospital that my grandma gets her chemo at is so freaking stupid!

There is an order of draw for lab work for a reason. First you fill the blue top tube because it has to be completely full or it's no good. Then you fill the green tube because that's what is used to check electrolytes and stuff. THEN you fill the purple tube because it has EDTA in it and EDTA contains potassium (which is a lyte) and binds up all your calcium. Anyways, the nurse that was drawing the blood off of my grandma's line attached the line, flushed it like she was supposed to, drew off waste like she was supposed to, drew the syringe for lab and then laid it down on the table while she flushed the line again. So she let the syringe sit while she finished messing with the line and then she tubed it. My jaw dropped when I wateched her fill the purple tube first, then the blue and then the green. I was really expecting them to have to repeat her labs, but they didn't. So I sat with her until they got the lab results back. In that time grandma got thirsty and wanted coffee but they didn't have any on the floor, so I went down to the cafeteria and got both of us some coffee. Two hours later they have the lab results and are starting the first chemo pre-med. I know that she's going to be there all day and so I ask what time they expect her to be done and they said around 4:30. I told my grandma that I'd be back around 4 to see how she was doing and to pick her up because I had other things to do during the day.

Fast forward to shortly before 4pm. I get back up to the hospital and they're just starting the last med which takes an hour and a half to infuse. No big deal that it's taken longer than expected. Grandma wants a snack so she gives me some money and I go down to the cafeteria and get her the cup of ice cream that she wants. I run back upstairs and tell her that I'll be back in an hour, I need to go to the store to get some stuff for dinner that we're gonna have at her house. I run to WalMart for salad stuff and spend $70 (yeah, I bought more than just salad stuff) and ran home, put the groceries away and went back up to the hospital.

The wing that she's in is deserted. The outpatient nurses have all gone home and all the rooms around her are empty. There's a nurse from the inpatient end of the unit that is checking on her occassionally. But she can't hear the alarm going off on the IV pump when the meds are done running and I have to go find her because she has her own load of patients that are in house too. Not to mention that my grandma is 76 years old and has absolutely NO short term memory. What if she would have had a reaction to the meds and couldn't press her call button or holler for help?

Don't get sick. That's all that I can say.

But America has the best healthcare system in the world because we don't have no stinkin' socialistic medicine! :roll:

Yes, well, this hospital is also nicknamed "Bay Dead" and people would rather make the 20-30 minute drive to the hospital that I work at

[Mara 29]

Double obscenity!

I just actually saw a major spoiler for Sacrifice. Argh!

[TheUnknown 39]

Speaking of LotF, I read some reviews of the first couple of books that have me wondering if it's worth the time.

[Radioactive Isotope 29]

if you want to see Jacen be an even bigger poophead than he was in the NJO, sure. although some HUGE things happened in Sacrifice that will definitely be important later.

[TheUnknown 39]

Well, I meant the reviews dampened my interest. I was going to read them, but the reviews brought up some interesting points.

[Radioactive Isotope 29]

ok, so how's this for unfair. some of you may remember my rant when i needed to get a new phone and my mother wouldn't let me buy the camera phone i wanted, even though i OFFERED TO PAY FOR IT!! well, they went shopping today and what do they get my sister? a FLIPPING CAMERA PHONE!! they're using the excuse that "all they had were camera phones." so? I FREAKING OFFERED TO PAY FOR MY OWN PHONE AND THEY STILL WOULDN'T LET ME BUY IT! she gets it handed to her.

[TheUnknown 39]

Why won't they let you buy one? You're over 18. ewok them.

[Mara 29]

It's probably good to read them anyway.. for the things that reviews miss.

i'm seriously thinking about getting off my parents plan and getting my own. the only problem is starting in the fall, i'm not sure how much i'm going to be able to work, and thus i have no idea what my income's going to be

[Jake Durron 23]

>.< omg what the ewok I don't know why but it seems that I can't do anything with my best friend without her just getting mindbogglingly mad at me or vice a versa. We were going to become intimate with each other and then decided not to but I NEVER take it slow with people and I waited for months for her and still didn't do anything other than a kiss. I ewoking stopped smoking for her, I've started limiting how much I drink, I'm trying to stop cussing as much and so I'm like busting my ass trying to get on and talk to her as much as possible and NOT be on the computer all ewoking day long, and I've had fights with my father over how much I'm using the computer and I'm doing everything I can not to piss her off, and be accommodating and it seems no matter what I do its not good enough!

[Mara 29]

AHHHH! Racheal Ray needs to die! Or be seriously, seriously injured. Argh.

WHY CAN'T YOU PEOPLE LEARN TO DRIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Drake 53]

How do you know how I drive? :???:

[Pandora 77]

No not you. That was left over from my drive home tonight. I can't even count how many times I was nearly obliterated because everyone on the road was driving with their asses.
