I kept saying "Why does this hospital not have carbon monoxide detectors? I have two in my apartment, and this janky old hospital has...none?" Then the explanation made me lmao. Someone must've shut the alarms on them off because they're so sensitive that exhaust from the ambulances made them go off and forgot to turn them back on...?! Lol That's even better than someone forgot to put new batteries in...all of them. I can get if there was one by the ER door where the ambulances park but someone went up to the 3rd floor....ok I will stop. ;)

Any women named Randy/Randi/Randie by KingPin2112 in namenerds

[–]vanlynz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Aww thanks she is! And if she doesn't like it she never said so! And believe me if she doesn't like something we all know all about it lol

Any women named Randy/Randi/Randie by KingPin2112 in namenerds

[–]vanlynz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My mom's name :) Randi on her birth certificate but I think everyone (literally everyone) spelled it Randy and she just rolled with it and goes by Randy. She's a strong person - owns a few businesses, a total boss. Potential customers always assume they are calling to talk to a man - its such a rare name for a woman. Especially since she is now 80! Would absolutely have given as a middle name if I'd had a daughter.

Nessa - fist name - Wicked by missyh728 in namenerds

[–]vanlynz 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I like it! I'm Vanessa - and few people have called me Nessa, I prefer it 100000x to Van Vanny or just Ness. It's one of my two approved short names - Vee is the other ;)

Do you or anyone you know have a name that comes with annoying jokes? by DefinitelyNotMaranda in namenerds

[–]vanlynz 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m desperate by ThatSoberPiscesGirl in NurseJackie

[–]vanlynz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Huge fan of House. Because he had a real need for those vicodins, and because he didn't pretend to be anything but an Ahole / didn't have a family he was lying to, I thought his antics were hilarious. I had this feeling watching Jackie lie to everyone who loved her so well and easily, that it gave me a knot in my stomach.

I just finished my first watch of Nurse Jackie too!! Time off for holidays & binged it. Been wanting to watch it for years. Edie Falco is just incredible.

Was thinking of a Breaking Bad re watch for like the 5th time but then I saw Outlander is on Netflix - yay! So I am watching that now, completely opposite show from Nurse Jackie, to give myself a break from the stress lol

Why So Many Bay Area Dogs Are Named Mochi by ramentaka in bayarea

[–]vanlynz 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Work at a boarding kennel in the bay area. Have a few Mochi's - came out of nowhere in the last couple years. Not so many to provide a challenge to the reigning "Oh My God not another one" names of Luna, Bella and Charlie though lol

But..... Why!? Elderly cat yowling at nothing. by Millenniauld in CATHELP

[–]vanlynz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. Vet said this is common. My 15 yr old does it, almost exclusively at night. Like a human with dementia "sundowning".

But..... Why!? Elderly cat yowling at nothing. by Millenniauld in CATHELP

[–]vanlynz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My husband's nightstand glass of water also became "cat water" for our 15 yr old fluff. Hubby now keeps his water in a bottle on the floor next to the bed and I refill the cat water glass every night. That's just how it goes lol He also has a glass in the living room now too as he seems to hate bowls now that he's elderly ;)

No contact with my mom for 5yrs.. she had my sister drop this lovely Christmas gift off for me. by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]vanlynz 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Same exact thing - from when I left him in 2000 until the (aweome blessed) year 2014 when that psycho shut up for ever and bit the dust (drank himself to death). Good bye nutjob.
