I've got some theories.

You know how if you paint your house in ugly colors and pile up trash in the yard, it brings down your neighbor’s home value? I think Billy is operating on that theory. If he makes the A’s crappy enough, maybe the Giants value will drop.

Or, maybe he’s trying to make them as unwatchable as possible, in the hopes that he’ll kill attendance at every park they travel to. It’s a new way to level the playing field.

Or, perhaps he’s been inhabited by the ghost of Fred Sanford.

It's been a long time since I've seen it, but I recall the BBC television production to be pretty good!

It won a few awards, even. But the only thing to do, really, after reading the entire Trilogy (5 books) is to get the audiobook of Hitchhiker, the one read by Douglas Adams himself, and listen to it. Alone, so you don’t bother anyone.

I have enjoyed my almost seven years here, for the most part. I would like the retain the option of possibly someday returning, so I’ll avoid slamming anyone or anything. Thank you for the sage advice, bear88.

I will feel a huge, huge void in my life without AN. It has gotten me through some very hard times and introduced me to a group of people who I consider to be my very best of friends.

I will miss the faithful few of you who choose to remain and still consider me their friend. I respect you for being who you are. God bless and good luck.

Well, it depends.

I’ve seen it a couple time when there are no options in the hands/arms. I like watching feet IVs because people normaly have giant veins in their feet and it’s fun to see. When shit gets bad and you need a IV it doesn’t matter where you put it, really. They will sometimes go for the feet, but the benefits have to outweigh the risks. People who are diabetic DON’T have IVs started there because the lack of blood flow to those extremities. We’ve used the feet on druggies. There is also what is called an IO – intraosseous. You have this gun (literally a gun) that injects a needle into the bone, like right below your knee in the tibia. IOs are used a lot on babies because their veins are tiny and they have a lot of fat. IOs can be used in codes instead of dicking around looking for an IV site that is non-existent.

Feet are better than the alternative, which is the neck. I don’t handle those well, but again, those were special circumstances. Codes. It was the neck or nothing. When things start going shitty, your vessels constrict making it hard to get an IV started anyway. You gotta go big or go home.

We used the feet because of the pt’s history of multiple surgeries (43 on the stomach alone). They use large bore IVs in surgery, and that causes a lot of trauma to vessels. With that much history, there is almost no way to find a usable site in the arms.

The panel discussions are usually fun

The last year they had it, the Q & A was dominated by teenage girls asking Bobby Crosby to go out with them and adult fans of both sexes asking Bobby Crosby why he was such a lousy baseball player. But other than that I found them worthwhile,.

So, my sister teaches high school, and she is grading notebooks this evening.....
Came across a conversation by sticky note between two students discussing the definition of “boobs” versus “titties”.

I suggested she respond with a post-it note referencing the Webster’s Dictionary definition of both…..

So glad you’re here. I’ve got a story for you.

by harensheir15 on Jan 23, 2012 9:04 PM PST up reply actions  

So one of my charges at the local library's homework helpers program...

came running up to me the first day after the Winter break and asked, “What is two?”
“Come on, Ruby, you know exactly how many two is.”
She looked up at the ceiling with a frown bemoaning the dim-witted things grown-ups say and, shaking her head, re-phrased her question. “I know how many two is. I am asking what two is.”
“It’s a number.”
“What’s a number?”
I’m so proud at this moment. A question most high schoolers don’t think about asking.
Instead of answering, I gestured at the table and said, “Tell me something about this table.”
“It’s brown.”
I am really excited now. “Aha! And what is brown?”
“It’s a color.” She has a look on her face as if she’s thinking I’m really not the person who can answer her question.
“Good. And what’s color?”
“It’s how it looks. It’s how I can tell it’s not …{thinking for a second}…. a banana.”
“Well, there you go. Numbers des-cribe {pronouncing it slowly} things. Just the way colors do.”
She stops, thinks for a second, and, unconvinced, shakes her head.
“But I know what brown is. I can see it. I can’t see ‘two’ by itself.”
I have never had a happier moment teaching, Jo. Here’s a four year old girl asking me to explain the abstract nature of math. Things I can’t adequately explain without resorting Number theory. The difference between higher-functioning predecessors of homo-sapiens and the members of the other, less fortunate branch of the evolutionary tree.
So, I nodded.
“Very good. But tell me this. When I say two, what are you thinking?”
She holds up two fingers.
“Mmhmm. Now listen carefully. How about when I say ‘brown’? How do you know that what I see as brown is the same thing as what you see as brown?”
She is thoroughly confused now. I pointed to the desk. Then to lighter brown folder.
“Which is brown?”
“Both.”
“Exactly! See, brown can be different things. Colors are harder to tell apart, right? But numbers are very easy. Two can only mean this many {holding up two fingers}. It can’t be three. Numbers are, we like to say, pre-cise. Because of this, we can do so many cool things with them. We can add, subtract, multiply and divide and so much more. Does that make sense?”
She shakes her head uncertainly.
“That’s all right. But you have to keep asking. That’s what learning is.”
Somewhat reassured, she nods and starts to take out her actual homework assignment.
This whole exchange with a little girl, who five months ago, couldn’t say hello to me.
