What's his name was on Wait Wait, Don't Tell Me, and it was AWESOME.
By "what's his name" I mean some other Justice, who was hilarious.
Lorne: My little prince. Oh…what did they do to you? Angel: Nina…tried to…eat me. Lorne: Oh, you're--medic! You're gonna make it Angel. Just don't stop fighting. Doctor! Is there a Gepetto in the house?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
Paperdol, you are not being an asshole.
But in terms of hospitalization, if she is uninsured a hospital may not admit her if it is the medical opinion of the attending physician that she can be adequately cared for at home. Actual policies vary, but if a physician thinks home care is adequate they can send her home with a supply of antibiotics and if actual adequate care is not provided - well there is a reason the uninsured have a lower life expectancy.
Which has nothing to do with your decision. If a bunch of other neighbors are taking a turn then she is getting as much unqualified inadequate home care as the doctor prescribed. Your taking a turn would not change the fact that she belongs in a hospital. The asshole was whatever doctor chose not to prescribe hospitalization. And he or she may have been beaten down by a system that does not provide resources to take care of everybody.

You are correct, "bon bon." [link]
That still makes me laugh inappropriately sometimes. "Ms. 'bon bon,' IF THAT IS YOUR REAL NAME!"

In two words and two words alone describe how you feel today. Go.
FUCK THIS.
Shrift wins.
paperdol, I think that, when it comes to inconveniencing oneself to care for a relative/friend/neighbor, taking vacation time to care for a neighbor falls in the category of Above And Beyond the Call of Duty.
Epecially when (I totally agree with you) the person should be in the hospital, at least for a few initial days. Getting the antibiotic intravenously can really jump-start the recovery.

Clarence Thomas is promoting his book. He's also supposed to be on 60 Minutes (or he already has been). I'd be interested to see if he does the interviews with a piece of candy in his mouth. He's constantly eating it in court.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Isn't that what club kids do? Or ravers? Or something?
