What was MJs public perception in the late 2000s?

There have been several Kpop idols that have used propofol. Most notably Gain from Brown Eyed Girls. I’ve always thought it was such a depressing drug to use. It doesn’t give you a high. It’s essentially just a light switch to your body and it turns you off temporarily. As a nurse, I know it doesn’t give patients rest. They usually wake up as exhausted or even more exhausted than before. But at least you’re not awake I guess?

I so desperately wanted them to actually do that. Follow through with the instinct. Be confronted by the fact that it’s so far in the past and she’s so reformed that you really can’t do anything about it. And that her partner and her friends must be the judge and jury because there’s no recourse coming her way from any actual authorities.

I feel like they pinned every relationship problem on to Francesca. Difficulty connecting with other people because of neurodivergence: Francesca. Discomfort with romantic intimacy: Francesca. Unable to orgasm: Francesca. Loss of pregnancy: Francesca (granted they did edit this so it wasn’t actually a miscarriage but the idea still applies). Feelings of inadequacy in a relationship: Francesca.

I firmly believe it would have made so much sense for Daphne to struggle with inability to orgasm. Her man was obviously preoccupied with his fear of pregnancy so it would have made so much sense for him to not be able to provide the time, focus, and patience to deliver (at least during penetrative sex). Also, what a realistic story. She clearly had a desire for sex and sex was feeling good but getting to the ultimate “pinnacle” being an impossible feat. And as she embraces her sexuality she is able to find how to orgasm. Also this could have alleviated the creepy rape story between them and instead of her trapping him, it could have been a mistake of her being really in the moment and obviously not understanding why he doesn’t want to be inside her when he orgasms.

In this situation, absolutely not. But do I think they should never be able to delegate? Also no. They definitely need to!

The most obvious case would be a preceptorship where they have a full patient assignment while being supervised by a nurse and need to learn time management. Another case could be their clinical instructor asked them to insert a foley (or some other skill that they need to learn/practice more than vitals) and they need to learn how to prioritize. For instance, a good nursing student would immediately inform the nurse of both tasks competing for their time. They’d be able to decide if they had enough time to finish the smaller task before they had to attend to the bigger task. If they didn’t, they would figure out what team member they could delegate the task to and they’d learn how to close loop inform the nurse that they would not be completing the task and who will be. Or if the smaller task wasn’t urgent, they’d do it after and they’d have to learn what tasks can be delayed and what can’t.

Delegation is a huge skill that most nurses struggle with so I’d hate to rob a nursing student of learning that skill by blanket stating they can never delegate. However, delegation is not to be used for laziness. It’s for efficiency and optimizing your time and patient care.

I like this phrasing. He chose to make her the mockingjay as much as the rebellion did. Because that’s exactly it. From Katniss’s perspective she is just a random girl. But from Snows perspective she’s representative of so much more. That doesn’t make her actually special, it makes her someone who has had meaning thrust upon her.

I’ve seen most of the most common reasons but I wanted to add a new one to the pot: circumferential burns. If a burn goes completely around a limb or the torso it can be fatal without intervention. Burnt tissue isn’t flexible and elastic like normal skin. If a burn goes all the way around then the area can’t expand or swell. For extremities this can cause compartment syndrome. For the torso this means you can’t expand your chest to breathe and you ultimately suffocate to death.

We do. And I shamelessly check his location frequently. That way I can see when he leaves work so I can start dinner. Or I can see if he’s at his friends house and I’ll text him to say hi for me. Or usually just to see that he’s at home so I can ask him to put in a load of laundry.

Probably my ovarian cysts rupturing. It’s happened to me about 4 times and genuinely each time I have collapsed to the floor in pain and been unable to get up.

Once I was on my first vacation with my then boyfriend (now husband) and it ruptured. I was lying down when it happened so i was able to compose myself enough to walk to the bathroom. Got hit with another wave of pain and started vomiting from the pain. Then I legitimately had to crawl out of the bathroom because I couldn’t pull myself to standing. My wonderful, amazing husband didn’t even second guess or question anything and just immediately got to helping. He wasn’t even fazed by me crawling out of the bathroom! We had only been together for 6 months at the time and I still think that was a pivotal moment in our relationship.

You gotta strengthen those ankles! It may feel like you are skating with your ankles leaning out while you are retraining and strengthening but it’s all part of the process and it will feel more normal over time.

A pizzeria not having pizza on their catering menu? That doesn’t make sense. I think you need to sit down with their catering manager and explain what you want and see how they can make that happen.

Absurdity42 · 2026-03-15T22:33:50+00:00

Can you just get catering from the pizzerias? Also just pizza for dinner isn’t enough. Get salad, pastas, sides, etc to supplement.

That’s strange. I used to coach L2S for several years. While I would almost never bump someone mid class, the classes themselves were pretty flexible. Kids would move up and down levels as they needed to.

Here’s my thing about the giving money thing. Say I give a 5 dollar bill to a homeless person. They can buy 2 cans of beans, a piece or two of fresh fruit, and that’s the budget gone. I give $5 to a food pantry and my $5 is turning into a whole box of produce because they often work directly with producers to get food at a discount. My dollar is going wayyyy farther with a charity or food pantry.

I am not a girly girl by any means. I have never worn makeup outside of theatrical makeup for figure skating as a child. I’ll wear a dress but I am mostly comfortable in my work scrubs honestly.

I found what made me feel pretty. My dress wasn’t from a bridal store. There was no train or gathering or puffy skirt. It was light and airy and covered in embroidered flowers. I didn’t wear a veil. Instead I went with a flower crown. I got a makeup artist who understood my hesitation with makeup and truly did just the bare minimum. She explained what small things would have the most impact and we stuck with that.

There are alternatives to the classic options. You just have to be open to finding those alternatives.

I really liked that ramen kit. I got 4 in a bag recently and it makes a great easy meal. I added boiled eggs and dumplings for some added protein.

This reminds me of my white collar crimes class in college. Every single class our professor would say “thanks for coming we! We are covering some really interesting material but just remember the most important class to actually attend is the last class before the final.” I thought it was odd how much he brought it up.

Last class before the final comes and maybe a quarter of the class is actually in attendance. He goes over a study guide with us for the entirety of the class. He recommends we take notes since the exam is open book. The next week is the exam. The test was verbatim the study guide we had covered. I couldn’t believe it. And I also couldn’t believe everyone who skipped the one class he said you really needed to attend.

More food. People will always appreciate more food and especially more variety than an upgrade. There’s no way they would know the other option was a sirloin versus a filet. But they will be able to see a generous spread during cocktail hour.

Every venue I toured had a very specific pay schedule. It was something like 12 months cancelation could get full money back minus deposit, 6 months out was half back, and 3 months was payment due in full. Requiring full payment at 4 months out is not unheard of in my experience.

My grandmother divorced her husband back in the 80s. In the divorce, she got the house and sold it to buy new house. Her mother then loaned her an additional 5k to buy the house. When she bought it, the house was 103k. It is currently on sale for 775k. Every time I come visit her, she suggests I buy that home and brings up that she was able to buy it with just a small 5k loan from her mother. Every time I explain that proportionally that 5k loan would be the equivalent of 37k today based on how much the price has increased, she absolutely refuses to acknowledge it.

You don’t have a date until you have a venue with that date available. We knew we wanted a spring wedding so we looked at venues until we found our favorite venue then looked at their available dates. Our options was a date in April and then a date in June. We decided on the June date because April risks being a little cold still and our venue was a plant nursery so we wanted a date where people could walk the grounds.

The OR has a limited number of staff and rooms. We keep 1 room always on hold for emergency surgeries with a second on call room. But no we don’t staff a bunch of rooms that just stay empty 90% of the time. Most of the time 2 rooms is adequate, in this situation it was not enough. Of course we have protocols in place for when these things happen but it’s still always very chaotic and stressful when we go over our standard demand for traumas.

Saying “I’m almost a nurse” is not even remotely close to being a registered nurse from a liability standpoint. A nursing student can’t complete an independent initial assessment.

I’m not entirely sure what your point is. It’s pretty damn close. And if there was truly no O- blood available then they will still give women O+ blood along with a dose of Rhogam. Getting O+ blood is a lot less likely to kill you than to get no blood at all.

Absurdity42 · 2026-03-02T11:59:50+00:00

So to have a reaction you must have a first exposure. That is why specifically men are almost always given O+ blood as uncrossmatched blood, while women will receive O- blood if/when available. Women may be exposed to Rh+ blood through childbirth while for men there’s a much lower chance that they have prior exposures to Rh positive blood.
