He's only 3 months! I have a giant (half evil) baby.

You may all admire my adorable baby:



(Sorry the picture is giant. I don't have web space anymore, so I stole it from Facebook, where I had uploaded the original)

Obviously named after your brother because of his long and healthy relationship with Ugzug
Copy cat


My now 8 year okd is Alexander James

It's a good name! Ugzug fought for Alexander Cole, but I pulled the mommy card and got to keep James, since it's sort of a family ...

Obviously named after your brother because of his long and healthy relationship with Ugzug

Ugzug/Langston and I had a baby boy on the 4th. I had a post-partum hemorrhage as well, Jay, so I feel for you and your wife. I spiked a temp of 105 during the delivery, and then the baby's shoulder got stuck. He came out purple and not breathing, but they were able to 1) get him out, 2) get him ...

Yeah I'm not arguing that some lawsuits aren't absolutely justified. I'm talking about the McDonalds-my-coffee-was-too-hot-when-I-spilled-it-on-myself style of lawsuits, which happen far, far too often. Healthcare workers are humans, humans make mistakes. There are many checks and balances in place ...

Speaking as a nurse within a not-for-profit healthcare system, this:

5) Enact tort reform to cut down the amount of frivolous malpractice suits , so that doctors don't feel compelled to order multiple unnecessary tests, just because they're panicked about liability. (CT scans, just because someone ...

Many liberals who, with solemn self-congratulation, call themselves “pro-choice” become testy when the right to choose is not confined to choosing to kill unborn babies. They say the right to choose is not progressive when it enables parents to choose their children’s schools or permits workers to ...

Secondly, yes, nurses are in high demand...blah blah blah...I am still being paid fairly with extremely competitive benefits... all WITHOUT a union to negotiate for me.
Answered your own question.


But the meat of the argument was that supply does not meet demand, therefor hospitals are forced ...

Answer me THIS: If non-unionized workplaces are currently offering these, why WOULD it suddenly stop?

Because they can? Nursing is a field in high demand right now, mostly because people don't want to clean up after old people. It is not a job that requires a great deal of education, so if things ...

hey all you mouthbreathing union-haters, answer me this: if unions suddenly disappeared, what do you think would happen to things like...

paid vacation
90 minute lunch breaks
company health insurance plans (including dental & vision)
matched pension/retirement plans
fucking weekends
child labor ...

I've never been unionized and have not once wished for it. Thankfully Georgia doesn't have a nurse's union.

Instead I've watched my dad lose his job at a privatized electric company as they went under several years ago and was forced to obtain join the IBEW as the privatized companies were ...

I'm so excited.

^ Pretty much

I got married. Found out I'm having twin boys. There was a little scare with one of the boys positioning in the womb but its all good now. I'm pushing my wife to let me name them after the greatest 007 ever. I wanna name them Sean and Connor. Otherwise if she says no I'm naming them Jaython and ...

Ugzug and I recently started playing EQ1 again for nostalgia. We were able to recover our old accounts, but I realized I didn't remember the first thing about how to play my character. We both started over on newbies and hit up all our old stomping grounds as we leveled. I like the changes they put ...

I've never felt that any one president wildly changes the course of the country. The whole election just reminds me of the senior class president elections. "Elect me and I'll put a soda machine in every hallway! And I'll fight so we get tater tots with every lunch!" None of the promised shit ever ...

good to hear about your wife getting the organ... i can't imagine the relief...

and yeah Jay... having a 3, 4, and 7 yr old... i get your worry over screwing up your kid...

AND... i grabbed my first kilt... my clan tartan (Kennedy Ancient) and just in time for the Texas Ren Fest... me and my 7 ...

World beware: Ugzug and I are expecting a baby 4/9/13. Me getting preggers is probably why the world is ending this year. Sorry guys.

90 minute waits just to get a sandwich

People are nuts. Chic-Fil-A is mediocre at best. AT BEST. You couldn't pay me to wait FIVE minutes for that nasty place, even if they weren't undergoing all the drama.

Re: the organic vs. non-organic foods, it seems that the people I hear about (and someone probably knows the exception to this) that start on an all organic diet typically switch to it from a diet of fast food or other not-so-healthy selections. By comparison, yeah, of course the organic diet will ...

I had to convert to saying "soda" down in Georgia after years of saying "pop" up in Minnesota. However, the can it comes in will never be anything other than a "pop can". Either way, though, I can't stand the stuff. I don't think I've had more than an entire can to drink in my entire life. The ...

Goldfish have no stomach, so they actually benefit from several smaller feedings per day rather than one giant feeding.

Congratulations

What a fantastic article. I admit to getting a little snuffly reading it.

i love this post. there's so much crazy in it, lol. "la-ia" is probably the best part, hahahaha.

i actually kind of like the name aurora but the sleeping beauty connection might be a little too twee. also i like fallon but not phallon; that's just way too close to phallus. and why on earth would a ...
