Sure is true. I thought I typed enough to bore you all to death!

Lots more in between the lines, but no matter, kids are back to their original school and I learned my lesson. We live 2 minutes from the school and I have them leave 20 minutes ahead of time. LOL. BTW: This school has a 5 minute late bell which is not tardy and a 15 minute tardy bell, so you see they understand about the 1 minute late thing. Well, diffrent strokes for different folks. I guess we are where we belong now. Thanks for listening and understanding :)

so true, very insightful too. My ex thought everything was great (sm)
but he was bullying me around and never listening to my opinions or how I felt. Every time I tried to talk to him he would say, "everything is great, I don't know what you're worried about." I would say, "everything is great for YOU not for me." Not saying that you are that way at all Sally, but it is true that it is that way in some people's marriages. It was in mine.
How would you like to have been MT who typed
xx
Just typed this a few minutes ago...

She has not ever committed suicide, but it is on her mind.


Good grief!


OK, should add..as I typed that msg out of haste
That there are a LOT of people that I miss that haven't been on. Too bad we can't keep the rude ones away and bring back some of the wonderful ones. You can tell the regulars cuz they have their monikers and don't hide...those are the ones I miss.
Reminds me of a GYN report I typed
was in her 80's and thought she was reaching for the KY jelly on her nightstand, but grabbed body wash instead while she was making whoopee.  Poor thing had a terrible infection, hence her visit to the GYN.  I still have to commend her for having you know what, plus KY jelly!  Woohooooo!  What a night, she must of had!  Boy, did she pay for it in the end. 
No, but as an ortho MT, I have typed a bunch of them.

the strangest thing I ever typed
Was a home invasion involving a big, strong, grown man who got pummeled. I never open the door to anyone I do not know!
haha, re-read what I typed....
and I realized the part to the OP, the first sentence didn't make sense, I didn't back up far enough, haha. I'm tired, shhhh, lol. I meant to delete the part "I think if you have a health reason" and just start with "I don't think you can..." Hope that makes more sense.

On that note, I'm going to sleep, haha.
LOL! Oh really? A trauma pt not getting surgery because their wasn't a typed sm
report in the system? Either you are exaggerating a bit or the trauma doc is an idio**. Never, in all of my years, have I known a trauma doc to deny surgery or not perform surgery due to a simple note not being typed. Emergency care if emergency care and they WILL bypass dictations with a simple use of the telephone! The trauma surgeon, in that instance, would have phoned the doc to receive any and all information on the patient if he needed any to proceed with surgery. I WISH my life as an at-home MT now were that special or important!
What was the funniest thing you typed over the last few days?
I had a doctor on Friday night who gave a whole list of his plans for his elderly patient and then at the end said,  Rib fractures will be repeated.  Owie!!! 
Yikes! Sounds like one I typed just yesterday!
I've never wanted to become pregnant.
son's death
I lost my mom 2 years ago and I'm still grieving her; I can't begin to imagine what it would be like to lose a child.  My thoughts and prayers are with you. 
Umm,,,,,,,,death! nm

What do you think about the lupus, do you think that had something to do with her death?

you must be bored to death

death of grandmother

Truly a horrible turn of events for you.  Two deaths of loved ones so close together.  Lean on the one who tells us to bring our cares to Him.   It is believed  by many that it would be limiting God to teach that this life is the only time that God can call a person to Himself.  Second resurrection may be the answer.   Also preaching to souls in prison, think about why they would need to be preached to, if these were evil spirits, not human spirits, what good would it do to preach to them?God is a God of love and your family members are in His hands. 


Re suicide, no sane person can take their own life. no matter how "rational" they make it sound.  Those who do kill themselves are not responsible for the sin of murder because they are so sick.  


Autopsies have to be done very very soon after death.

Drive your car to death

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- By keeping your car for 15 years, or 225,000 miles of driving, you could save nearly $31,000, according to Consumer Reports magazine. That's compared to the cost of buying an identical model every five years, which is roughly the rate at which most car owners trade in their vehicles.


In its annual national auto survey, the magazine found 6,769 readers who had logged more than 200,000 miles on their cars. Their cars included a 1990 Lexus LS400 with 332,000 miles and a 1994 Ford Ranger pick-up that had gone 488,000 miles.
 
Consumer Reports calls the Honda Civic a "Good bet" to make it to 200,000 miles.


Calculating the costs involved in buying a new Honda Civic EX every five years for 15 years - including depreciation, taxes, fees and insurance - the magazine estimated it would cost $20,500 more than it would have cost to simply maintain one car for the same period.


Consumer Reports' "Good bets" for making 200,000 miles: Honda Civic, Honda CR-V, Honda Element, Lexus ES, Lexus LS, Toyota 4Runner, Toyota Highlander, Toyota Land Cruiser, Toyota Prius, Toyota RAV4


Consumer Reports' "Bad bets" for making 200,000 miles: BMW 7-series, Infiniti QX56, Jaguar X-type, V8-powered Mercedes-Benz M-class, Mercedes-Benz SL, Nissan Armada, Nissan Titan, Volkswagen Touareg, V6-powered Volvo XC90.


We were not celebrating her death,
once again, I said we were celebrating the wonderful life she had and the many contributions she made to her family and society as a whole.
grandparent's death
I think you should tell them.  My first close loss was my grandfather was when I was 12.  It was actually unexpected.  I believe they are old enough to understand and they would probably be more disappointed if someone slipped up and said something or they overheard it rather than being told up front.  That way they can have some time to process it and hopefully can enjoy the time they have left with their grandfather.  Please know you and your family have been lifted in my prayers.
About the death of that child
It was told on the first day of the autopsy the child died from a seizure. Now anyone who works in this field knows it takes longer and more delving into what actually is the cause of a death, especially in a young male like this. You would not have blood work returned in 1 day, no possible drugs in his system analyzed. I read the death certificate signed by mortician and that usually is not how it is done. My thoughts on this are the child suffered from autism and the parents tried to cover up as much as humanly possible as autism is not accepted in the scientology group - they considered anything like this a defect, but the other diagnosis of Kawasaki (spelling?) would have been ok- the only thing about this is the child's symptoms, looks, etc. just did not go along with a syndrome that children of his age have usually outgrown. The child supposedly had 2 attendants, monitors both in his rooms and outside to let others know should he try to leave, etc. I very much question what happened here. I have not heard about Katie- I do know lately in her pictures she has been stressed looking, haggard and worn out. Seems like she is always with Suri and hubby mostly no where around.
PA death penalty

We actually do have the death penalty in PA...it is just not used that often. 


No, had no idea until her death
Didn't know she was sick until we got the call she had died.
No, had no idea until her death
Didn't know she was sick until we got the call she had died.
No, had no idea until her death
Didn't even know she was sick until we got the call she had died.
any death that occurs is to be
disclosed.  That's the way it is in my state (NE).  Even if someone just died in the house, the seller is to disclose this information.  I believe most states have this law, but again, it would be state-specific.
Every death comes in 3s. I grew up with that saying.

It does turn out to be true in a lot of families. So...we have Ed McMahnon (sp), Farrah, and now Michael. If no one died within the next couple days (I think that is also 3),  it should be okay.


Dang! I haven't felt this bad since Elvis died.


LOL - guess you are bored to death too then :)

Well, I love my hubby to death, but his sm
100-pound beloved German Shepherd attacked my 22-pound Cocker Spaniel several years ago and did $500.00 worth of damage including blinding her in one eye (popped the globe right out of the socket), I didn't spare his feelings at all when I said the dog either had to go or be put to sleep. Call me uncaring but the only thing I could think of was "OMG, what if that happened to a child" and that was all it took. We gave the dog to his cousin and it got hit and killed by a car 6 weeks later. I was relieved. I had nightmares the dog would run away and I would find her on my doorstep. I love all animals but my dog injuring a child is my worst nightmare.
Fetal death at 5 months....
....do not remember exactly how long before resumption of periods; however, daughter was born 1 year later so it could not have been long before body returned to normal.  (Daughter is now 25 and mother of 2 little boys.)
Death of someone you have a close relationship
even if they are not related by blood.

In 1990, my husband and I decided for the first time since we had been married to spend Thanksgiving with his family instead of with my family (we always did a Sunday Thanksgiving with his family before because my family was so large and his family was smaller).

My father died that Thanksgiving night. It took me 10 years to forgive myself for not being there that day. I have empathy for anyone who suffers a loss around a holiday, but hey, that's just me.

A sincere ? on the death penalty

Would you watch someone being executed by lethal injection?  What if he murdered your brother?   Your child?  or anyone else close to you?


I know there is no right or wrong answer to this.  I will have to make this decision myself and it's been in my head lately.  I may not know my decision until the day of.


Swine flu death in Houston. That's
too close for comfort for me. I'm not far from Houston. It's getting scary now. They're saying it may fizzle out & emerge stronger in the fall like the flu of 1918 did. Yikes!
Is there a death toll yet or guess? I absolutely can't believe this...SM

They should have to pay for pain and suffering because most of us treat our animals like our children.  This is not fair.


I'm sorry to all who have lost their pet to this horrible thing that has happened.  They should have to pay and pay deeply!!! 


Stern had SOMETHING to do with Daniel and Anna's death. That's what I
believe anyway.  I also don't think he loved that baby.  He loved that baby's MONEY.  I think Larry loved Anna and loves his daughter and I think he deserves the money to raise his daughter on, put her through college, etc.  Stern got what he deserved.  What a creep.
Don't "let" him? There is nothing she can do except worry heself to death.

It may be because of his early death with the children and my inability
to work due to taking care of them at the time. You are right that is what it states on the website, but I can only go by my particular situation and my benefit amount. The whole process is so confusing and all, but I am only speaking from my experince. Best bet is to call with your situation and find out first hand, because in the beginning they told me I was not even eligible (with 2 small children) and then 2 years later paid a large back sum amount and started my benefits. It's the government and very confusing.
Here is an interesting web site of near death experiences- sm
near-death.com
I agree with this. I drive all my cars to death.
I've been married 23 years, and between the hubby and I, we've had four new cars in all that time, five if you want to count the car he brought into the marriage with him, which was a couple of years old at the time. For me, I had a 1986 Aerostar van which I bought new and drove to death, and now have a 1998 Windstar van with 110,000 miles on it, plus a really cool custom Yakima rack for my kayaks! We do buy all of our cars new, and it's lovely to have long stretches without any car payments, like right now. DH is driving a 2001 Taurus. But he's got lots of miles on that due to long commute to work and traveling to clients. Bought that one with no money down at 0% because my hubby, a CPA, loved the idea of free money. So that was the biggest car loan we ever had, but the loan cost us nothing. The Taurus has about 160,000 on it, and DH is starting to warm to the idea of replacing it. We're considering either a camry hybrid to save on gas, or a nice sturdy Volvo, because statistics show that Volvos average almost 20 years on the road.
Death Penalty Vs. Life in Jail

What do you think is worse?


I would think being locked in a jail cell for life, with the key thrown away is MUCH worse, than ending their life.


Can you imagine sitting in a cold jail cell, no windows, no tv, no books, no paper and pen, just a room, w/ a toilet, a cot, and bare minimum food to keep you alive.


I think that is worse.


Good Lord...this would have scared me to death (sm)
Not gonna say what state I am in but the patient went in for surgery on his kidneys and was mistaken for a neurosurgery patient and had his head shaved before they realized he was the wrong guy...he cancelled his kidney surgery and went the heck home!  Poor guy!!
I hear ya on the working-to-death thing.
My younger brother doesn't live in a dump, but he and his wife have no visible means of support. They have a really nice, 4-bedroom condo (even with no kids) in a nice part of town. They've been to Europe. They take several Carnival Cruises per year down to Acapulco, Cancun, etc. He quit his job like 4 or 5 years ago. He claims they're living off his savings, but I find that hard to believe. He only worked at that job for about 5 years, how much savings could he have? Certainly not enough to support a rather cushy lifestyle and a huge, 2-story, almost-new condo.

MT has soured me on working, period. I'm sick of it. Every day I'm more and more tempted to just drop out of MT, collect unemployment, and just see what happens. My motivation got up and went quite a few years ago.
Michael Jackson -Do you think he faked his death?
I just saw his "last picture"  This man was darker skinned -- different nose, completely.  Not the person we've been seeing on TV.  The medical stuff doesn't add up either -- from what I'm reading/hearing with time frames.  Sort of makes one think this was all staged -- he has done it before--staged photos.  Did you see the "body" coming off the HC?  They dropped the gurney and part of it bounced up.  Wouldn't the body not have been stiff by that time?????

Well, what does 'til death do us part' mean anymore then? If you take the oath, sm
loser or not, you are husband and wife and I certainly don't take that lightly. If he didn't cheat on her or vice versa, then he and she should have done everything in their power to make it work for the children. She's probably post-partum, humiliated at his 'lack of success,' and after 2 years of marriage, according to prenups - would have been ordered to pay and astronomical amount of money and they were just approaching their 2 years. Talk about timing!

I think it's mostly her fault. She should have never married him. She probably has been thinking about the prenup and money over the past 2 years.
And yet there are thousands (probably millions) starving to death in America.....nm
