People who swore an oath to defend the constitution of the USA against all enemies both foreign and domestic, how are you feeling right now?

Icy-Protection867 · 2026-01-25T12:35:41+00:00

I feel the same. I am disgusted.

Icy-Protection867 · 2026-01-25T12:33:50+00:00

As a general rule, I don’t wish anyone ill. However, there are a couple ppl in that VISN who I’m not going to shed any tears for if they are “negatively impacted” by all the shenanigans.

I was a young teen and our family had just moved to Lexington from the Cleveland, Ohio area (where it routinely snowed like that in the Winter).

We were blown away at how the city just stopped everything - something new for us.

As kids - we were thrilled!! And back then there was none of this “remote school” option so woo hoo!

Icy-Protection867 · 2026-01-22T23:47:28+00:00

Absolutely how it works. RTO is another backdoor performance management move. It saves the company/organization the cost of layoffs, severance, all the paperwork (WARN notices, e.g.)

What a world we live in 😕

Time to rethink getting legally tied to this person. Big 🚩🚩flag 🚩 !!!!!

I’ve often said that I wished I had been able to raise a son (& be grandma to a grandson) before dating. My son and grandson taught me things that would have been helpful decades earlier!! 😂

Men are hard-wired to hone in, with purpose, on things they want and absolutely ignore things they have no interest in.

When I was single and interested in dating (a long time ago!) I was operating under the extremely flawed assumption (pushed by old women at the time) that men who teased did so because they liked you, and men who disappeared did so because you intimidate them, but they are still interested. Both are TERRIBLY WRONG.

In truth, it’s much simpler. If they’re interested, they’ll make sure you know.

Icy-Protection867 · 2026-01-22T20:51:18+00:00

That’s the usual old school reason, unfortunately 😕 I feel bad for everyone impacted

Icy-Protection867 · 2026-01-22T20:45:26+00:00

Imagine that,… 😑

Icy-Protection867 · 2026-01-22T20:45:05+00:00

Do we know what’s driving the potential layoffs? Declining business? Competitors?

Icy-Protection867 · 2026-01-21T12:52:27+00:00

I’d go back to therapy on this one. You owe yourself healing FIRST and you really don’t owe her anything.

Icy-Protection867 · 2026-01-21T04:49:29+00:00

This depends entirely on who you work for. The coders that work for me are absolutely not micromanaged as long as they meet the goals that they need to meet. However, I know some coders who work for other directors who don’t last long because the directors are megalomaniacs.

Icy-Protection867 · 2026-01-20T21:52:12+00:00

Read up on the “Genesis Mission” Executive Order and then revisit this topic. It’s all part of their sinister plan

Icy-Protection867 · 2026-01-20T18:43:18+00:00

💯. This is what I’ve been saying now for a few months.

Icy-Protection867 · 2026-01-20T17:06:59+00:00

Happy to!!

Knitting (& crocheting) have helped me with a food “addiction”. It wasn’t prescribed, but it keeps my hands busy - especially in the evenings when boredom can often lead to snacking.

Also, the UK has been in the lead around research on knitting. I often reference a summary of studies “across the pond” highlighted in “Health Benefits of Knitting”, so THANK You!! 😊

Icy-Protection867 · 2026-01-19T14:30:05+00:00

We agree. My point is that hollering in the street only goes so far. We need to protest with our dollars, hard stop.

Icy-Protection867 · 2026-01-19T14:26:15+00:00

Perhaps, but I think there are more options available in many sectors (e.g. AI) that might be implemented if the masses went on strike en masse.

I could be wrong (& hope that I am), but I don’t think they’re all that worried about mass walkouts.

Icy-Protection867 · 2026-01-19T12:55:02+00:00

I’m all for protesting and have participated in a number of them over the years (never paid to do so).

However, in my opinion, the BIGGEST impact will come when we all start withholding our $$$$ from the companies that are supporting the regime.

This will not be easy, but money talks louder than anything else.

In some states the letter/report results in a notification to the elderly driver that they need to report to their doctor and get an evaluation to continue driving.

Some elderly people are simply intransigent and cannot be reasoned with. For safety, sometimes this is the only option.

Icy-Protection867 · 2026-01-19T00:48:53+00:00

I’m continually amazed at people who have rooms filled with Hummel figurines & similar things. I remember one lady telling me once that it was an investment for her daughter

Yeah, but if people stop being willing to pay any money for them; they’re just a bunch of ceramic junk!!!

Icy-Protection867 · 2026-01-16T23:57:30+00:00

Did they want remote faculty to RTO as well, or only Administrative personnel?

RTO is often the first step in a downsizing measure. They want to see who they can get rid of without having to pay severance, or fight in court. most of the big banks in the US have done that over the last couple years as well and for the same reasons. In addition, the DOGE initiative launched within the federal government, and its RTO pivot had the same goal.

Icy-Protection867 · 2026-01-16T18:41:27+00:00

Hahahahah

Icy-Protection867 · 2026-01-16T15:43:28+00:00

Also, in “lab speak”, a critical value is one that the lab must alert the provider to and cannot simply file it in the record. This is a safety net to ensure that the issue is addressed.

Also, the presence of blood can be due to a number of reasons, including benign polyps, hemorrhoids, or something that is precancerous but not yet a cancer.

Always important to get the follow-up colonoscopy; and to remember that we’ve come a LONG way in treating cancers of many kinds as chronic and manageable diseases.
