Incidentally, I skipped madly past about 200 posts. I'm fortunate in that I get warnings before I get a migraine, and I can head it of with Excedrin. I didn't have real Excedrin at work when the dizziness started, but apparently a cup of coffee, a Tylenol and an Ibuprofen do the trick as well. I was pretty loopy during the work day, but not in pain. So, so thankful. Except I got pulled over on the way home from work, to get a warning about having a headlight out. Police officer was very nice about it, but he did have very bright flashing lights on his car and it made me pretty nauseated.

WS, I usually answer that type of question "N/A," since there is no available safety equipment.

In a Freecycle e-mail: "Preference goes to the earliest pickup who does not use chat speak in his or her message."

I second n/a

If there's no safety equipment used when restraining someone, then the answer is N/A. If you normally wear gloves and face shield during restraints, then the explanation is that the situation was such that you couldn't put the equipment on without putting other patients in danger.

Sleep possible on the plane, Maria?

It may be. Due to the requirement of purchasing the lowest-cost ticket, I'm going from BWI to Detroit and Detroit to Chicago. Each flight is about an hour and a half.

In the case of an incident where a member of home X is upset, in is important to restrain them quickly in order to keep them from doing serious harm to them selves are in order. The extreme amount of protective gear needed in order to protect personnel from a few bumps and scrapes would cause a delay that could cause major harm to the patient and or personnel

or something like that

so I've tried 5 Hour Energy. The verdict: not good for work (although the first two hours were excellent, now I'm full of fidget and thirst) but possibly fun in combination with recreational drugs and activity (mini golf comes to mind).

A note for those who have read Heinlein's The Moon is a Harsh Mistress.

Tonight I was at a store and the paged "Adam Selene" to go somewhere in the store.

I was amused.

Thanks for the help!

Happy... er... ok flying, Maria.

They've brought in firetrucks from the next town over and everytime I think they're just about done - new flames appear over the crest of the roof.

I was tired before - not so much now.

Wow. I am a cheap, thoughtless, ignorant bastard, who needs to start handing hundreds to hotel cleaning staff everywhere he goes, to make up for a previous lifetime of cheapskatery.
