LOL !! A bit too long, but I loved the snack administration. Granola bar enemas...new fad??

Its amazing to watch the communication betweem them all to get more help and coordinate their efforts!

Ya, lets just wait until the second video is posted. Then one with the cat just a bit older, and surrounded by feathers and licking his paws...........

I've only seen them referred to as serpents. An ostrich's eye is bigger than it's brain. (LOL- so was my ex's) Ancient Egyptians shaved off their eyebrows to mourn the deaths of their cats. Armored knights raised their visors to identify themselves when they rode past their king. This custom has become the modern military salute. Barbie's measurements if she were life size: 39-23-33. Brazil got its name from the nut, not the other way around.

LOL - I wondered that too! Maybe this service reuses their sharps to save costs? Edit: sorry MedicAR- I think we were posting at the same time so I didn't see your answer.

I agree with getting all your documentation in order. To brush you off and sweep everything under the carpet is just wrong. There should be written protocols for needle exposure, or anything else for that matter. Where is OSHA in all this? You most likely will be fine, but if not, then what? What about the next person this happens to, or for that matter, how many times has this happened before? I would go after their asses.

I wonder about this: ...The elder Askew said her daughter came to the Army after losing custody of her children, Dayne and Chase. Sandra Askew said her daughter divorced in the late 1990s and years later lost custody after an incident when one of the children was spanked. She said a visitation battle continued, with Askew rarely getting to see the children... Lost custody due to a spanking? I think there is more to that story. But regardless, whatever the issues, she seemed to be trying hard to live a life helping & serving others. She obviously put great pressure on herself, and felt there was no other way out. How sad for her, her kids, and her family. Someone mentioned suicide is a selfish act. Sometimes it is, it is the ultimate F*** You. But there are other cases when this isn't true. I think this is one of them.

Anyone just come across trivia that's just bizarre but interesting(maybe it's just me) ??? Care to share? Winston Churchill was born in a ladies' cloakroom in the ancestral castle of Blenheim. His mother was attending a formal ball there when she prematurely delivered. (hmmm, that started a trend among teenagers) The electric chair was invented by a dentist. Butterflies taste with their feet. A duck's quack doesn't echo, and no one knows why.

Sometimes, which is why they are rare.

You missed my birthday Michael, but I think I am glad.

That is so sweet to recognize her graduation. If she was finishing as an accountant, would you get her a calculator? You mentioned you didn't want to go with the standard EMS stuff.. So why not get her something for her house? Something decorative she will have and will be around that will remind of her of you, and the occasion. Windchimes, something for her garden, a gift that signifies your interests together outside work. Just a thought.

"Hugs" Yes, all this is your fault Michael. You should have taken the keyboard away from me.

Thank you for the advice. However, I can handle Dust, he is just a momma's boy. Aren't you Dust? Lola

Wow Dust, you getting snippy with me?? Which am I, ignorant or dishonest?

I was watching the news live, showing the first crash. That seemed an accident, but when the second plane hit and the news caught it live, even I knew it was no accident. This was all around 9:30am PT. The news was still showing the people jumping out the windows. They cut that out later. It was apparent very early there was a situation occuring.

LOL, I was too. And no, flipping out and running from the classroom would not help matters. Come on, this was not just a simple plane crash, and not one we have had in our history. But I would have expected a rather calmer way to get up and excuse himself from the classroom to begin to deal with the situation unfolding. Love the sarcasm though, almost as good as Jourdon's.

No Kiddin' Ruff, right in (the party) line like the rest of them.

Franklin Roosevelt: fourth cousin three times removed of John Quincy Adams, third cousin four times removed of Martin Van Buren, half fourth cousin three times removed of Zachary Taylor, seventh cousin once removed of Millard Fillmore, sixth cousin twice removed of Franklin Pierce, fourth cousin once removed of Ulysses Grant, sixth cousin once removed of Rutherford Hayes, half eighth cousin of Grover Cleveland, fifth cousin of Theodore Roosevelt (although his wife, Eleanor Roosevelt, was a niece of Theodore), sixth cousin twice removed of William Taft, seventh cousin once removed of Calvin Coolidge.

Yes, nepotism and apathy are so much better for our country.

At least he is prepared instead of acting like a deer in headlights. ( And, can we say for sure George didn't need help with big words in the book??)

Yes, Dust, typical of any politician. I guess we will see how he does. I have the utmost confidence in him, much more than what I have seen in the past few years. Don't think he would hesitant to finish the goat story to pass off other pressing matters.

You must be joking. Regardless of whether it was written by the claimed author or dictated, it protrays a very important picture of the past of this country. History should be paid attention to, and learned from. Times change, and sometimes for the better. Now (for those in the US) we have a black president. Go figure. People could see beyond color and choose him for the person he is. Yahoo!!!

Maybe more so "The Allegory of the Cave".

My thoughts too, Wendy. It is a very literate and well written letter, which raises some suspicions on who actually drafted the letter. For an era in which education was denied to slaves or difficult to access, at least in the South, this was written by a well educated person. Although, here is the source quoted at the end of the letter: [This letter appeared in The Freedman's Book, a collection of writings by "colored authors" compiled in 1865 by the abolitionist Lydia Maria Child.] Update: Thanks to commenter ZacMatic, who found the entire scanned book at Google Books; it's actually called The Freedmen's Book. Also, the letter was published in two different newspapers, the Cincinnati Commercial and then the New York Tribune, before appearing in Child's book.

LOL Richard!! Wise woman indeed. For life in general, you should always pick your battles carefully, and when you do pick.... those who know you will recognize the distinction!!
