I heard rumours that families such as this existed, but I never believed it until now. :cool:Quote:

I have a friend who will shell out money for crfeams that make cellulite and fat go away. The truly amazing part is she continnues to keep buying the products, yet guess what? None have ever worked. Go figure.Quote:

The way I see it, they aren't new boobs, they're fake boobs. Have yet to see any that don't look like odd spherical balls shoved under your skin.Quote:

Your poor friend was obviously feeling low self worth.
Nail Lady "Have you been putting on weight? What's wrong with you?"
Me "I don't know, I eat too much?"
NL "You have to stop that! Only eat meals!"
Later "Did you just eat something?"
Me "No, I had a piece of gum because I was falling asleep."
NL "No more eating!"
Sheesh...
I saw a woman for a gyne/contraceptive visit recently. Remember that I work in the City-funded public health clinic. She was an attractive, slender woman, in her late 30s. Fine visit, we're wrapping up, and she said, "What's your opinion of breast implants?" I thought for a moment and said, "Painful. Expensive. Unnecessary." She laughed and said, "OK!" Well, she asked! Then we talked about it a bit. I love the freedom to tell the truth occasionally! :cool:
:confused: She has an interesting interpretation of her job description. :rolleyes:Quote:

Since they're attached to the femur, when you raise your legs or bend your lower back, you'll feel them if they aren't balanced.They are bilateral and contain a wide set of muscle fibers so they can affect a lot.
Phew! I'm exhausted. I need a nap. I may have to go lay down on an x-ray table for a while. I feel dizzy after all that thinking. :D (It really pays to have students around constantly asking questions like that one. Keeps me on my toes.)
Dang it Kit, where were you? mimi will never let me off the hook. :rolleyes:
Oops, ER calling me. Gotta go. No nap. Shoot!
cya kids!
Two times ago I got shunned for picking red. She hates red. She can get away with this behaviour with me because she is the best there is, anywhere. I have NEVER had a nail break, even through years of cave diving. I had to quit for a couple years when BF lost his job and then went to school- when I came back- she did my nails exactly as always. (Super short, square) But lately she does a lot of complaining about other customers and how demanding they are. (I never really offer any hints on how I think she should be doing my nails.) She is maybe a couple years younger than me, Vietnamese, left a husband in Vietnam because he was an MD who was to come here but that proved too difficult (couldn't get licensed to practice, didn't want to not practice) so they got divorced, and now she is bitter. Two kids just approaching their teens.
I understand about 80% of what she's saying to me, on a good day. We just got a new Fellow at work who is German. I understand about 30% of what he says. I just smlie and nod and say "Uh huh." "Umm hmmm." It's tiring.
My boss today- I have two rooms to run, two radiologists, two schedules- adult and peds. One other tech, sometimes a student. A lot of the adult patients are there for a Rehab Barium Swallow which is set up by communicative disorders- all I do is get the patient and out. Sounds simple, but most of the patients are bedridden, in restraints, with IVs that have to be moved and monitors and catheters and feeding tubes and chest tubes- and they have to be positioned pretty exactly on a narrow chair and then sat up and wheeled into the room with all their stuff. Turnover is every 15-20 minutes. 10 or 12 of those in a day will completely wear me out. Anything with peds requires at least one tech to assist the radiologist. So my boss comes over, and without even seeing what my schedule is or what my first exams consist of, informs me that he is taking away my tech for close to an hour. Well, I have an 8:30 peds patient, and an 8:00 but now 20 minutes late adult patient, and I start to tell him I have two things that each require a tech not to mention the phone rings, constantly, all day, and it is mostly stuff my receptionist can't answer, about add ons and how specific things are done and about preps, etc.) so it's difficult for me to be trapped in a room and not able to come out to take calls, and keep patients coming and going, and computer stuff began and ended, blah blah blah- and my boss says "Mostly all you do is rehab barium swallows anyway, you don't even need a tech for that, at which point I begin to shout fine, take her away, don't bother sending her back, I'll just do everything myself, that's ok, I have a student and it's her second day- she can handle it- hey John, (radiology resident) I scream down the hall- Boss says you're gonna be working by yourself today, have a good time! Man, was I pissed...Like get on the clue bus and come do my job for a day and see exactly how much physical labor is involved.
Plus, since all I do at work is shop for snakes and read about snakes and post on snake forums, I wrote this guy about a snake in Florida that is for sale- I wondered if I could go pick her up, but he didn't bother to write back...
OMG, this one time (at band camp) I had to see Nail Lady's sister because nail Lady was out of the country. She politely asked about my boyfriend that I was seeing at the time, and I had this total breakdown- I suspected he was married, he would disappear for weeks at a time, etc. Poor thing. I apologized next time I went in.
