Hey all! What are we going to do?

More and more I hear that the right wing is willing and promising to take ams if tfg is not elected president?

What the actual fuck are we going to do? I'm a damned old 60 year old lady and I don't own a gun. This shit is madness! It's like more than the coronavirus was unleashed. These people godamned dangerous! There's been a fucking cancer unleashed.

Joe Manchin fires back at angry Dems: 'They ought to push me' into the Republican Party

We're not pushing you out of the party, you are running toward the gop full steam ahead.


"I would like hope that Democrats feel like I do," he said of having a place in the party. "If there are no Democrats like that, they ought to push me where they want me."

I won caregiver of the quarter for the southeast region.

Last year my home health office gave me caregiver of the year. It was nice to be recognized at home. They sent the information and a nice letter about me to the corporate office and the company recognized me for this quarter. It comes with a little bonus, a plaque and my picture in the news letter. It also puts me in the running for caregiver of the year for my whole corporation.

I've been a nurse over 30 years and this is the first award for my hard work that I have ever gotten. Nursing is such a thankless job usually, but my office treats me so well. This makes me very happy.

On edit, I just have to say I love my job. I have always loved being a nurse. I'm a born nurturer. I have one pediatric patient who is fed by a g-tube after being born with her intestines outside her body. She is 22 months old, can recite all the ABC's and count to 20. She is absolutely delightful and the family is great.

Anyone else wear their mask and get a little thrill to trigger covidiots?

I live in the deep south and get "the look" from the dumbasses who don't get it. So far I haven't had anything said to me and I don't know what my response would be if I did. But I hope I'm getting to them a little. Yeah, it's petty, but it's the little things that make life sweet.

In defending Paul Gosar, Republicans show just how scared they are

What does it say about a political party that defends a member as toxic and repulsive as Paul Gosar?

What does it say that 207 of the 210 Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives — including the other three from Arizona, Andy Biggs, Debbie Lesko and David Schweikert — stood in defense of a man who last week tweeted an animated video that depicted his avatar violently slaying one of his political opponents and congressional colleagues?

What does it say that only two Republicans in Congress spoke out against Gosar’s actions and saw through his defense of “it was only a joke, lol” to denounce his violent rhetoric?

The sad truth is that it says exactly what we already know: Today’s GOP is not the party of moral character and truth that it once pretended to be — that I believed it was for much of the time I was a registered Republican voter — but is instead a cesspool of amorality that is driven by fear.

Project Runway allows two men to bully and berate a female designer.

Meg was rightfully annoyed that the designer wanted to switch models at the last minute. She let her annoyance be known. Apparently, her feelings were not valid. Prajjé proceeded to accuse her of "yak, yak, yak" Typical misogynist response to a woman's emotions.

I'm a bad pet mother.

Due to Covid, I was reluctant last year to go into a vet's office to get my female shitzu-yorkie, Milan, spayed. After our old man miniature poodle Charlie passed away in June, we got a poodle-shitzu Cujo. The soonest we could get appointments for them to get fixed was in August.

So, we had an oops. Milan and Cujo are now the proud parents of 2 girls and 2 boys. Don't worry though. We're going to keep at least 2 of them and will definitely get them fixed. Milan will get spayed as soon as they are weened and Cujo was able to keep his appointment in August, so he is neutered.

They are shtizu-yorkie-poos.

My patient's dad tested positive. I am livid!

I am a private duty nurse and one of my medically fragile patient's parents are willfully unvaccinated. I broached the subject of vaccines a few weeks ago as the Delta variant was spreading. They did not give a specific reason why they weren't vaccinated, but it is part of my job to educate and I did and let it go.

I found out today that the dad who works in the public, was positive for Covid. I am so angry! Their 1 yo child is medically fragile and this disease could easily kill him. They have another child, 6 yo who is also at risk.

I have just had it. If this child gets sick and dies, I think CPS should be called. Stupid dumb assed idiots!! Gggrrrr!
