Nice! I wish this was truly possible in my nation of bureaucrats! Hi LL, You could possibly be correct. My focus on creating a new thread was simply because 90% (in my experience anyway) of the folks who show up at medical centers for treatment do not: 1. Have an "advanced directive" 2. Do not...

Partly agree. I say "partly" because unfortunately, I don't think the attitude was one from a 'by-gone era' and nor has it limited itself to that 'by-gone era.' I'm somewhat divided over this issue. And I **** to stretch/tangentialize a topic but::: On one hand, I really do think that there...

Just curious - if you "**** that too", why support it? :confused: I was raised to address any stranger as "Sir" or "M'am". And I continued to do so until they requested that I address them differently. 50+ years on, I still follow that practice. I only break the rule for my pediatric patients -...

Hi Aegis, Whetever you decision may be, please have it in writing with the signatures of at least two witnesses. mmm, I need to start a thread about this. If you're interested Aegis, the first people I'd try and contact would be your local chapter of the Red Cross. If there is not one nearby...

Nice South Park reference....

They've obviously never met my grandmother (that woman could multiply or divide seven, 7-digit numbers and give you an answer in less than 3 seconds). cheers,

Your answer lies in your question: When it is "ok" to call 'Caucasians' as "white", then it should follow that it's ok to call other folks by their skin color - "brown", "black" etc. The way we have it today (at least in America) you'll almost always hear "African American" or "Hispanic" used...

Sutekh: Stop feeling bad or guilty.... .... start doing something about it :) cheers,

PD & DD (and BD! :D): Are you folks Indian by any chance? :) Thanks to an Indian colleague at work, I've had the opportunity to read the "Mahabharatha" epic. I loved it! It's better than a Greek classic! As to your topic on hand - I vaguely remember a similar story being told to me when I was...

Very cool! :D

I think he's talking stuff along the lines of:: (a+b)^2 = a^2 + b^2 + 2ab :tongue: *shudder* I can empathize. My ****** was a trained Chemist. Needless to say, I really sucked and Chemistry and it was NOT a fun topic at home.... :( cheers,

*bump*

* Contraceptive "jelly" ain't the same as strawberry "jelly". For example: never spread contaceptive jelly on toast and eat it. It doesn't work that way... * If you are a 400-lb. diabetic, it is inadvisable to fall ****** with your dentures in the bed, lest they be found two days later buried...

It's been an interesting few weeks at work. Time for an update! My professional colleagues from around the world contributed to some of the following: * Never underestimate how strong a confused and agitated a frail 90y/o woman can be. It's also amazing the contortions a little old man can do...

Many of my colleagues have often complemented me on my ability to do dosage rate calculations in my head without having to depend on calculators. Some of the younger ones gape in awe when I pull out my old reference charts and use mathematical tables to cross check values for long term treatment...

Link (emphases mine) Took the friggin' words right outta my mouth. cheers,

Full story While the veteran has every right to do as he pleases with a medal he earned - I for one, think that they both (the veteran and the President) showed staggeringly poor judgement. cheers,

I drank too much last night. Need to go to work tonight - kinda dreading it... hangover headache and all.

Ahhh, found this one after some searching.... An icon of my generation... cheers,

My "wife" and I are a very atypical couple. We've been a loving, committed, monogamous couple for decades now --- but we've never been formally "married". I don't believe in god, have no use for religion and refuse a marriage certificate because I firmly believe the State has no business...

That thing is full of good stuff:

You're welcome :hatsoff: I don't think it's "old fashioned" - but I'm not a young buck anymore! "Any husband who don't treat his wife right ain't a man. And any man who don't treat his ****** right ain't a human being". I learnt that truism at my ******'s knee... cheers,

I like how US troops in Vietnam are often "popularly" portrayed as : 1) Mostly ******* out scared little boys, drafted into the war by "the man", shooting everything in sight and ******/dreaming about their girlfriends every night. (a la "Platoon"). 2) 'Heroic' service men, "just doing their...

Urban Legend - status: undetermined cheers,

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Mill Millington. cheers,

**edit** picture is too huge and it turns the board slower. To a grunt, "that" signifies "friendly skies".... cheers,

So you took one instance of "woe is me" and made it a claim for Boy! That's rich! So you can post opinions but none can counter with disagreeable views? :1orglaugh Yeah! You have a good day too McRocket. I'm done here. cheers,

You're exact words: from here I admit I took 'liberties' by substituting "worthless" for "great or even a good species". Are you claiming that your implication and intended meaning were different? If so, you're better serving time by explaining them - rather than being pedantic about a...

Fact: I'm supposed to work tonight but I can't seem to ***** :(

Me and Bobby McGhee - Janis Joplin

As they should be. Morality doesn't change "depending on the perpetrator". cheers,

:1orglaugh You don't know what I do for a living. Let's just leave it at that Mac. I just answered your absurd claim that "humans are worthless as a species and that anyone who holds such a PoV is naieve." with a dissenting PoV - pointing out that "worthless humans" (as you claim) also do...

*whine* *mope* *pout* Boy! My **** complain less than some of your middle aged rubber necking farts do... I quote an earlier post from the "Is this humanity" therad: Sheesh Mc! Take of your "Oh woe is me and the world is going down the toilet" 'colored' glasses for a while. cheers,

Uhhh, I beg to differ. The "Korean War" (entire regiments of the PLA fought in that war) and the "Vietnam War" (company sized units of Soviet troops fought as "observers") was very much a part and parcel of the "Cold War". If you thought Soviet troops didn't fight American troops - think...

Sorry, you're very much mistaken. For example: Just ask Robert Sherrod (or read his books). Read up on the Copperheads and George Brinton McClellan during the so called "Civil War". Or read how the "Spanish American War" was "sold" to the US public. There are examples legion throughout US...

ckjedi: That quote is actually Erwin Rommel's. It is often misatributed to Patton. Bull. Obviously you lot have never read news papers after battles like Betio and Iwo Jima. The graphic photographs of slaughtered Marines enraged America. Or how about the lurid headlines after climatic battles...

Re: If you had to give up either love or sex for the next 10 years; which would it be With maturity comes appreciation for love. Sex is temporary. Love is eternal. When you get to my age, sired/borne ******** and if you've maintained more or less the same spouse - you'll understand what I'm...

You're not alone. Many people - even in my country - don't see it. Do you know how much this attitude bothers me? Let me give you an example: United States Constitution. Article 1. Section 4 That law still exists. And the grotesque manner people encourage government to ignore it just adds to...

Ol' Freddy never leaves home without wearing his bullet proof jacket.... They don't need to retain a lawyer. Their whole freaking ****** is a bunch of lawyers... cheers.

The "Reverend" actually thinks he is doing god's work (provided such an entity exists). He has frequently made claims that "true prophets are always mocked in their lifetime". And if y'all though Fred Phelps was "just a kook" - I sincierly advise y'all to read up on the Fred Phelps expose ...

As far as I recall, none of our boys ever wore "Gott Mit Uns" on their belt buckles. The US Military has been responsible for a lot of grief around the world - I've said so many times myself. But your above statement is just completely over the top and full of ***** phuckey. We don't live in...

I work in a pediatric emergency department. I see sick, hurting **** by the dozens in a typical shift. Fixing them all up and making them all right is what I do. Do I love my job? Yeah! Sure, sometimes we get a ***** too sick or too hurt who ends up dying. Talking to the parents after that is...

Yes. I have a *** fetish and live only to shoot other people. It's my only motivation in life. It's what drags my carcass out of bed every day! By golly! You have me figgered all out! cheers,

Physical, Mental or Emotional? :D

:rofl:

Goes by the moniker "D-Man" when out policing the Hood...

I went out and bought curtains today. The Little Woman is pleased!

Ahhh! The foibles of youth. :1orglaugh cheers,

There is a fine line between genius and insanity. My best friend once told me that I often walk that line (or come close to it anyhow). I don't think I'm insane. I do think I'm capable of forming rational thought and action. I'm cognizant of surroundings and am capable of abstract thought. In...
