Fancy, our foster, would be a great dog for someone who didn’t want a dog but caved to pressure from family.

Housetrained, respectful, small, plays with toys but isn’t obsessed, barks very little. And enjoys climbing up to fall asleep in your lap or next to you.

Perfect “I don’t want a dog” dog.

I've been re-watching Nurse Jackie and in S7E8 there's a very quiet, melancholy version of "I wanna dance with somebody" originally by Whitney Houston. The artist is Scott Matthew. It's a perfectly lovely place for the song and doesn't at all diminish the original.

Yes, I do!

I dig the ICU nurses, they're a different bunch than we (the ER folks) are, and things can get contentious sometimes. For example, boarding patients. Not the ICU's fault (that's a whole other rant), however, there is a whole "giving report" extravaganza that we do differently that ICU do not like.

I, though, can't stop talking throughout the show. No criticisms, just "oh shit, that dude's gonna' need a paracentesis. It won't end well " And I love Princess and Perlah! Yes, we do talk shit about patients when they're stupid and mean. We're just very creative about it.

ER holds up quite well all these years later. I've rewatched many times, and after becoming an ER nurse 15 years ago, it was one of the few (only?) medical shows that actually got what nurses do, right most of the time. The Pitt does it right, too. 1/

I couldn't breathe while reading this. I'm an ER nurse and usually work with adults, but we do see peds (pediatric) patients and they've always scared the shit out of me because they can go bad so quickly. This is a beautifully written, horrifying account of what should never happen.

FFS, it’s a football game, why the fuck are they doing all the stupid 250th anniversary of the country shit? This is so annoying, but not surprising.

Dude, all of those guys were just fire! I still get a really big kick out of Dhani Harrison's big smile just as Prince is coming in to solo. I love musicians and athletes and folks who really know how to groove together even if you've not worked together before. It can be done.

Dude, I do this every single time with figure skating. I don't know the intricacies of the scoring, etc., but I do know when something doesn't look right. And I will announce it from the comfort of my Lazy Boy recliner!

Does she like Cheez-its? I can't imagine she doesn't like Cheez-its, who doesn't like Cheez-it's? Having said that, I did like them a lot more several years ago, I don't know what they changed. The white cheddar ones are actually better. I offer Charlie the white cheddar Cheez-its.

I don't happen to have that, part, of human anatomy, but the injecting part sounds very unpleasant. Just for a medal?

As soon as Lester Holt bounced, I quit watching. I'm sure Tom's a good enough dude, but I just couldn't get with his breathless earnestness.

❤️ MELIA is looking for a home after her training. A home with no small kids. Teenagers are fine. If you have a dog, you can do a meet & greet with Melia. She's at K9 Rehab in Watertown, Connecticut.
Contact @pawspathtofurever.bsky.social if you have any questions. Thank you ❤️

Pretty sure he didn't write this. Not that it matters, but it does continue to point out how many awful "people" are participating in this whole mess. It's comical how they think they can keep throwing shit out there to distract us. No, you can't distract us. We know what you're doing.

btw, very kind of you to explain for others who might wonder. Also, I call pretty much everyone 'dude', regardless of, well, anything. It's in my southern California genes😎
