Haha. Our Nicu nurses were all stunning

Where are you supposed to put your bag? What do you really think is on the floor? Do you know of anyone who has ever become ill from the bottom of their purse? I truly don't know how some people get through the day--life must be a series of terrifying obstacles for you.


The counter and faucets are dirtier than the floor. I'll never understand the people here and their obsession with dirty floors. Are people using their floors differently than I do. Its a place for the bottom of my feet.


I put NOTHING down anywhere in bathrooms. I have held a jacket, a baby, a diaper bag and my purse while using the toilet. When I told my husband one day, he just nodded and said ""You could hold an entire Chinese family on a bicycle in a public bathroom."


You and your DH are me and my DH to a tee. I have done the same as you.

How so? To me, no one looks good in those unflattering shapeless scrubs, unless it’s a well built man in good physical shape

I felt like a lot of Stranger Things was hard to believe really happened.

Speaking of medicine, shocking a flatline.

I'm watching The Night Agent on netflix.

At least they show the real DC metro, but then when they drive through rural Virginia, the trees and climate are all wrong, because they are in British Columbia.

I just finished that show last night! I was thinking "rural Virginia" might have been near Seattle, Washington.

I don't watch a lot of TV but what I see I'd agree the forced or faked diversity is over the top these days. I live and work around DC, which is pretty diverse, but nothing is ever anything like the diversity the shows try to promote. They're not the only guilty ones. My employer's public facing materials is all "Muslim woman in hijab working closely with very obviously progressive gay man and everyone getting along wonderfully" which only makes me roll my eyes.

On a similar line of thinking, the fake diversity in historical movies rubs me in the wrong way too. It's become all about an agenda, not authenticity or accuracy.

Another observation. I've seen a few commercials with deaf characters who sign and as someone who grew up with a deaf and signing sibling and watched all her friends and her deaf schoolmates, these actors, whether deaf or not, are absolutely nothing like what deaf people are like in real life. Sign language is extremely expressive, facially as well as the hands, and these actors on the ads are just hearing people pretending to sign because they utterly lack the realism of expressive signing. If you want deaf actors or pretending to be deaf, fine, but at least make them actually appear to be deaf!
