I look more rad than Lutheranism

Upon completion of this module the nurse will describe de-escalation techniques for use in situations of extreme conditions.

I think that "situations of" could be removed (so it would be "...for use in extreme conditions"). Or it could be changed to "...for use in extreme situations."

Thrive to spite them

sophia, I'm so sorry your student had to see that. I'm so sorry this is our reality

Thrive to spite them

I am struggling with this stupid website, it keeps timing out during certain points and while I don't have to start all over it's very confusing. I know the system is overwehlmed. I'm going to take a break and then try to finish it. It's also hard because I have to fill out information for both employers (out of state and in state) that are technically the same employer and trying to keep straight which one they are asking about is .. confusing.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Thanks Steph- that is what I was thinking.

I feared (I mean teared, but I will leave that typo) up when she was describing her situation. We have her set up to work from Brooklyn and she is really happy for the distraction of something to do. So happy, that she, a college student, is getting up at 8 am to join our zoom meeting

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Today has not been a great day. Mr. S went to sleep late and woke up early. He gave himself a haircut and has had meltdowns frequently. Gary's been on an online meeting for a good portion of the day, which hasn't helped We're all pretty stressed here.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

My little brother did something like this once. Of course he was, like, three at the time.

I did too ... I was about three also. Of course, with MY expert timing, it was an evening when my parents had guest over ....

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Meltdowns are tiresome, but at least hair grows back.

No word on my uncle, yet. I expect it's fraught on site, and it's not like I could do anything. And maybe he'll make an amazing recovery.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I don't think I ever had any mishaps with magnets, but I did swallow the metal ring from a ballpoint pen and start choking when I was a small child. Fortunately dangling me upside down and shaking me solved that crisis.
