Something one of my R friends posted about the debate last night.
"US voters, for the most part, forget these two may/would be the persons who represent the US in a myriad foreign capacities and are the handshakers and baby kissers on many domestic as well. Oh yeah, plus, if something happens to #1, they are in charge until #1 is back in the office again."
My response was pretty much, Really? What evidence do you have that people don't know what a "vice president" is?
I think it's somewhat hilarious that Republicans, who have advocated this nutty neo-conservative, super aggressive foreign policy for the last 10+ years have suddenly gotten the vapors over how "rude" Biden is.
I mean, what?

Sometimes I wonder what it would take for me to de-friend someone.
But since I actually had a person tell me that I should get "Barack Obama's d*ck out of my mouth" this year, I'd say my tolerance level for total insanity is pretty high.
Ha, plus my parents are on that birther thing (at least my Dad is, I refuse to even try to get into anything with my mother because she won't pay attention for more than 30 seconds).
It's so depressing to be the child of racist idiots.

Just tell her that if Obama isn't an American citizen, neither is McCain

Ha, yeah, really.
Arguing with faith that is not based on any kind of factual basis = pointless exercise. Believe me, I know. Can't get my mother to vote "no" on either of the nonsense on our MN ballots this year.

One year at Christmas dinner my Dad was really laying it on with blatant racist nonsense. It was so disheartening.
The worst part for me is that my Dad is the person in my family who actually seemed interested in - if not intellectual pursuits for their own purpose, at least in my academic success. And so it's just so baffling to me to see him embrace nonsense that is so patently absurd.

On the other hand, maybe it's better to go, okay my parents are bigots in public rather than just secretly bigots. (They are both voting "yes" on the ridiculous gay marriage amendment, too. Sigh.)

Crazy patient stories:
1. alcoholic withdrawal guy who asked for Ativan (anti-anxiety med) every time I went into his room and claimed he was having a panic attack. Except that he was asleep every time I went in there and then he went right back to sleep as I was leaving. Best panic attacks ever! (Or worst?)
2. Dude in perfectly stable condition telling his wife on the phone that he'd see her tomorrow, "probably for the last time." Then telling me about the casket he rented for himself bc he's going to be cremated. Me: Did you at least rent a nice one? Patient: No, I rented the cheapest one I could find! Me: Okay then!
3. Occasionally inappropriate patient asking the black male nursing assistant if it's true that "black men have bigger dicks" than white men. The nurse in the room said, "you have to stop being inappropriate!" But honestly, if I had been the nursing assistant, I would have confidently told him, "DEFINITELY!"

btw, John and deX - I think I told you about the lady who called me a "crowface?" She died a few weeks after leaving our floor. RIP lady, you will never be forgotten.
I wonder what her final words were
gonna assume "cankles" were in there somewhere
― Gandalf’s Gobble Melt (DJP), Friday, 26 October 2012 18:35 (eleven years ago) link
Pretty sure she was on a lot of Ativan by the end, so I imagine she was a lot mellower.
But yeah.
I do love the elderly patients, even the really disoriented ones. They are so unpredictable, never boring!

Pretty sure you're fired now, plz come home and also buy my house bc we are trying to buy a different house now. (super busy down here in Nfield)

new house = about 4 blocks from where I live now, but huge and very nice. Offer accepted, but contingent, so we have to sell (obviously!). Trying madly to clean, paint, etc.
If you want to look it up it is 1604 Maple Street in that city I live in. :)

I was sleep-deprived for the past 5 days and I have a raging headache right now.
Time for caffeine and maybe ibuprofen (and food, don't worry medical people, I will have food w/my ibuprofen).

Probably that is a good Rx for all of us.
