I can tell you I am having a hard time getting the information I need about malpractice insurance there....still waiting, of course I haven't been home all week either.
I have checked into a couple of hospitals there for the possibility of relocating. I must admit living in a town that smells like chocolate could be a good thing.
I did not mention just America, read my post again. I said American AND her allies. That includes all of those serving in Iraq in whatever capacity. Islamic terrorists want nothing more than to impose their religious fanaticism on the rest of the world, and countries who live in freedom are in direct opposition to these ideals. They will not stop until A)They win B)They are destroyed.
We do not stop them by burying our heads in the sand. And your statement about not being personally affected by Iraq and our men and women fighting there is not fair, nor is it true.
I work with several who have seen action in Iraq and Afghanistan in a medical capacity and they all say the same thing.
Terrorists do not want to live and let live. Their only goal and desire is to see America and her allies destroyed. The only way there will be victory is if we destroy them first.
If we pull the soldiers out it will be of no good consequence whatsoever. The battles that we are fighting there will be fought on our own doorstep. By leaving to soon, before the job is complete, we send a message to every other rogue state that America's resolve is not strong enough and it opens the door to further action against us.
This will be my 2nd holiday season without my mom and dad, both died last year - one in February, the other in August.
That is still difficult, but the most difficult will be the one we are facing right now with the loss of my friend last week. I want so badly to do something for his wife and kids to take the hurt away. We had his funeral yesterday afternoon and it was the worst one I have ever been to for emotion.
I will buying gifts for my late friend's kiddos Friday morning. His wife will have a few weeks before she receives the life insurance payment, and that means a loss of income for most if not all of December. So the only way to not affect their savings is to get them presents, which is the least I can do.
Otherwise, I usually buy a little something for my nursing staff, and a littel something for my room mate.
that is correct, and if there is a significant abnormality detected that could result in permanent physical harm or death, many doctors are able to operate on the baby's heart in vitro, but it is very rare that this would occur.
It is it because of a defect and a build up of fluid, most typically caused by a ventricular deformity? In most cases, these issues resolve themselves as the child ages, but it is appropriate treatment to measure and scan the heart to determine why it is the way it is.
I will say that an enlarged heart is not all that uncommon.
I am not looking for sympathy, just wanted to explain why I have not been as present over the last few days.
I got a call Friday afternoon from the wife of my best friend, that he was involved in a bad car accident. I spent most of the night Friday and Saturday on the road, and he died Sunday morning early.
I pretty much have nobody at this point, which I never thought at 37 I would be saying. In the last 2 years, I went through a divorce, my mother and father both passed away, and now my best friend - probably the only friend I have had that has really been my confidante over the last 18 years - since we were college freshmen.
Usually this happens when you are in your 70s or 80s. Anyway, I am handling the arrangements for him so that his wife can tend to their 7 year old and 4 year old who don't fully understand.
Yeah, I tried to do it the other day. Since the bank that holds my credit card was bought a few months back, they apparently canceled my card and sent me a new one which I never got.
So I am waiting for a new one to arrive. I am glad I wasn't at a gas station with a full tank of gas trying to get my card to go through before I discovered it.
I would say the strangest thing I have done is continue to read gilly's threads. I am not sure why.
Actually I farted on the elevator once. No big deal except it was loaded to the max with people from the infection control department. I did it 10 seconds before exiting the elevator on my floor. It was particularly raunchy and they had to ride with it for 4 more floors.
So, what are you planning for your next romantic feat?
I am planning on buying my sweet lunch. May not seem like that romantic a thing, but when you are a couple thousand miles away from each other, it can be a difficult task.
RE: Who is not suitable for dating?
Me. I feel like a train wreck right now.
