    Surprised Not All Hospitals Have All Private Rooms

    I work maternity at a very old hospital. When I was first hired, all room were doubles, with two being pay for "privates". Partners weren't ever allowed to stay at night. Then dads started spending the night if the mom didn't have a roommate (but if she did, some would leave without issue but...

    Pink Stuff: Little Girl In Toy Store Rails Against Gender Stereotypes

    I'm certainly no expert, and I do know that the chemical makeup of the sexes is different, but I also believe that society "primes" kids towards different gender roles from the womb. Now that technology has made it so that we know the sex of our baby before it's born, we start talking to the...

    calling al collage students

    College can be very difficult, unfortunately. Staying in school, instead of learning on your own, can be a great experience. It can really help with grammar, among many other things.

    Friend's DH with mental health issues

    Please forgive me. I didn't mean to offend anyone who has this medical condition. I felt that if i talked about his behavior, people would want to know why he acts that way, so I said it up front. And it's only when he goes off his meds, which he does quite often. It's not so much that I...

    Friend's DH with mental health issues

    My best friend's husband is bipolar and/or manic depressive. Sometimes he takes his meds, sometimes not. When he is off his meds, he is verbally abusive and has hinted at suicide (meaning he placed a step stool under the hanging garage door chain). She has him committed once, he took his meds...

    There are actually a group of make-up artists and each actor usually has one particular one that they use. I believe she applies her own lipstick, though.

    Sorry about the baby swap. I believe that was during the time that the original babies were sick. But don't worry, they came back for the final days!

    Awe thanks, that's sweet. Actually, I was on camera several times (as a nurse - how's that for type casting?) When I was hired, they were looking for an RN who was also am actress, because they knew that there were some scenes that they would use me in. I love the job. Even though AMC is gone...

    Would you put your dc in a different h.s. because it had better sports program?

    I totally understand your thinking. Even though children go to school for an education, their other needs should be met as well - especially extra-curricular.Finding a school that meets both of those needs is ideal - especially when you're thinking about how it affects their college choices...

    When Have You Seen Your Children Truly Happy?

    I'm am so not a person who has "traditions", but every year, we travel out of town for the holidays for a week. OMG!!! The weeks leading up to the trip, DD-13 is almost hysterical! She so looks forward to the trip - it's a 13 hour drive and she loves that just as much as seeing the relatives...

    The news went out in August. Shooting expenses are too costly in NYC - plus they'll have more studio space in LA. They can also shoot in HD there. I am not aware of any crew that are moving.

    Yup, that was actually my last day, but I'm thinking of stopping in because I didn't get to say goodbye to everyone. Boxes were everywhere - walls were naked - saw some tears:guilty:
