you have to just see this to believe it....... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bib4vhdgmco.
who is this guy?
lol
Oh, come on now, you guys! It's catchy, kind of Jewish sounding...actually, I have heard this song in worship at our Methodist Church. It was a guest music ministry performing--a little corny but nothing you ever saw at the hall !!!!!
Hearing 'Jehovah' at church makes me squirm, but maybe I'll get desensitized eventually.
Seriously, I thought everyone knew Kenneth Copeland Ministries. Just goes to show how apostate I've become...
my mom has many health problems one being she is diabetic .
last night her blood sugars dropped to 16 !!!!
thankfully my sister was awake heard a noise and went to check on mom .
The only obvious way to shear off the tip that I know is if you reinserted the stylet while having trouble threading the catheter, puncturing and shearing off the catheter. That fragment can potentially float downstream--medical term is an embolism. Wherever it gets hung up determines the problem--heart valve, lung, brain, etc.
I can't picture in my mind what is missing and presumed inside the patient. I mean, when I discontinue an IV, I always eyeball the catheter to verify it is the expected length, smooth tipped and intact. What could possibly be lost in the bed??? I mean, if you remove the catheter and it's not intact, it's in the patient. They don't just crumble!
I would guess that flouroscopy would be the obvious tool to look for the thing. Most insertible medical devices have a radiopaque stripe so you check for placement.
hiya folks.
just joined on board and figured i'd say a quick hello to all.
i'd get into more, but i'm soooo watching this ingrid bergman marathon on right now on turner classic movies...
Raylo--welcome! Wow, how's your relationship with your mom now? Is your sister around?
.
my first cars were all "manual" and they were small cars, cheap on gas.. then later on in life, i spoiled myself and bought automatic cars.. last week, i tried a manual yaris, and wasn't that comfortable with the manual transmission.
maybe it's the fact that i didn't drive a manual car in 6 years.. just wondering if anyone here after driving automatic transmission cars since many years, if you would come back to manual..
Okay, I'm an automatic transmission only kind of person, I am embarassed to say. I can drive a manual if I must, but have never been comfortable with it. I have driven my husband's 87 Thunderbird Turbo Coupe (it's 5 speed) and let's just say it wasn't pretty. My big ole Durango is auto, but it also is 4WD, which is a requirement to me. Just wish it got more than 13 miles/gallon.
i have not been an active witness active for several years now.
so are the women still being forced to wear skirts and dresses still?
i really think that the whole dress thing has been for some time now very outdated.
My mom wears pants and a blouse, but she's 86 and can't get pantyhose on any more. She kind of apologizes about it but says no one has criticized her. She is the old sweet grandma there, I think.
i told my wife i wanted to grow out my beard a little longer.
she said that was fine with her.
then i mentioned i was thinking of letting it get as long as zz top's beards.
I vote no for that particular unstyled looking beard. How about something with a trimmed, neat, beard? Conditioned, so as not to chafe anyone.
i love the idenity theft commercial with thelma and norma.
sitting on the sofa drinking tea.
talking about and making sounds of motorcycle!.
I love the Geico commercials with a real customer and a paid celebrity to 'help' tell the story. I love the Burt Bacharach one, "Hope I'm never hit in the REAAAARRRR again." as the customer rolls her eyes. Too funny.
And then the one with little Richard, it's funny, too. Both those commercials send my mom (86) and me into hysterical laughter and imitations.
(Recall the my mom has a broken shoulder, and I have partially moved back home...)
Nancy, of the looking for chuckle everywhere class
all of his family are witnesses.
they told him they are "storing and stocking up" on powdered milk and non-perishable items.......this is the second time i hear that witnesses are doing this in preperation of "the end".
I am on a committee at work (medium sized midwest hospital) for emergency preparedness. The potential for a flu pandemic has caused us to stockpile oxygen delivery supplies, IV fluids, etc and have plans for deciding ethical issues like "who gets the last ventilator?" The public education slogan is "Stock up and stay home." The federal government has funded huge plans for mass medicating and distribution, as part of the Homeland Security plans.
So actually, religious groups are encouraged to have their members prepare for a minimum 3 day crisis (storms, etc) and a 3 month quarantine (flu epidemic, war, etc).
Of course, you won't find reference to armaggedon or tribulation.
My elderly parents have paid attention to my urgings to stockpile non-perishables 'just in case'. Of course, here on the fringe of tornado alley and having lived through the depression, they are fine with that. Actually comes in handy--Dad's got tons of toilet paper and canned soup!
the bible attaches importance to your name.
if not, what would you like to change it to?.
i always hated mine!
I like the way my Dad says my name, sort of minimizes the second 'N' (may just be the dentures talkin') And I LOVE my middle name, except when my mother uses it in conjunction with my first name . Then it means I'm being scolded. Remember, my mom broke her shoulder 4 weeks ago and I'm still camping on their couch. I'm 44 going on 15 when I'm in their house!
i am a bit too young to remember this but, was disco really banned by the jw's??
?
I loved the music at the skating rink get-togethers in the 70's. Once in a while a song would start and then RRRRIPPPP as one of the presiding censors pulled it off the turntable. (That's sort of like a big CD player for you younger folks) You could skate along to the beat of "I Will Survive", breeze in your hair, and actually feel cute and coordinated (of course, not for long; I'm not a very good skater).
Now in my old(er) years, I find myself excited to be holding 2 tickets to the KC and the Sunshine Band "Ultimate Dance Party" Concert for Friday. Includes Gloria Gaynor, Sister(s) Sledge, etc. I'm taking my 20 year old daughter with strict instructions to a)be my designated driver and b)not to laugh at old saggy people pretending to be young--that goes for audience and band, and especially her mom. I'm overdue for a night out.
