As far as I can remember I have found women esthetically pleasing. I love men and have only dated men, but lately my slight attraction to women is becoming stronger. I'm 21 years old and the thought of being bi-sexual has never crossed my mind until about a year ago... I guess what I'm trying to ask is why all of a sudden is my attraction to women becoming more visible to me, and how do I know if It's just a curiousity or the real deal?

I'm looking for some kind of clairity, even though it seems like one of those "Time will tell" issues... anything you can tell me would be greatly appreciated

Hospital Cost Cutting Measures
To: All Hospital Staff
From: Adminstration/Groundskeeping
Date: March 23, 2000
Re: New Cost Cutting Measures
Effective April 1 this hospital will no longer provide security. Each charge nurse will be issued a .38 caliber revolver and 12 rounds of ammunition. An additional 12 rounds will be stored in the pharmacy. In addition to routine nursing duties, Charge Nurses will rotate the patrolling of the hospital grounds. A bicycle and helmet will be provided for patrolling the park areas. In light of the similarity of monitoring equipment, ICU will now take over the security surveillance duties. The unit secretary will be responsible for watching cardiac and security monitors as well as continuing previous secretarial duties.

Food service will be discontinued. Patients wishing to be fed will need to let their families know to bring something, or may make arrangements with Subway, Domino's, etc., before meal time. Coin-operated phones will be available in the patient rooms for this purpose as well as for other calls the patient may wish to make.

Housekeeping and physical therapy are being combined. Mops will be issued to those patients who are ambulatory, thus providing range-of-motion exercise as well as a clean environment. Families of ambulatory patients may also sign up to clean the rooms of non-ambulatory patients for special discounts for their final bill. Time cards will be provided.

As you can see in the "FROM" line above, administration is assuming grounds keeping duties. If an adminstrator cannot be reached by calling his/her office it is suggested that you walk outside and listen for the sound of a lawn mower, weed whacker, etc.

Engineering is being eliminated. The hospital has subscribed to the TIME_LIFE "How to..." series of maintainence books. These books can be checked out from administration, and a toolbox will be standard equipment on all nursing units. We will be receiving the series at the rate of one volume every other month. We already have the volume on Basic Wiring, but if a non-electrical problem occurs, please try to handle it as best you can until the appropriate volume arrives.

Cutbacks in the phlebotomy staff will be accommodated by only performing blood-related lab tests on patients who are already bleeding.

Physicians will be informed that they may order no more than two x-rays per patient stay. This is due to the turnaround time required by Revco's photolab. Two prints will be provided for the price of one, and physicians are being advised to clip coupons from the Sunday paper if they want extra sets. Revco's will honor competitor's coupons for one-hour processing in emergency situations, so if you come across any coupons, please clip them and send them to the ER.

In light of the extremely hot summer temperature the electric company has been asked to install individual meters in each patient room, office, etc., so that the electrical consumption can be monitored and appropriately billed. Fans will be available for sale or lease in the hospital gift shop.

In addition to the current recycling program, a bin for the collection of unused fruit and bread will soon be provided on each floor. Families, patients and the few remaining employees are encouraged to contribute discarded produce. The resulting moldy compost will be utilized by the pharmacy for nocosomial production of antibiotics. The antibiotics will also be available for purchase through the hospital pharmacy and will, coincidentally, soon be the only antibiotics listed in the HMO's formulary

My parents are both retired (68 & 66) and they are asking if there are any places where they can get a discounts, for example: phone companies, electricity bills and water bills. I searched all over and can't find anything, maybe because I don't know what to look under. I have checked the benefits for senior citizens website and it didn't help me much. Would someone please let me know if there is a number or give some advice on how to get ALL the benefits they deserve, since they are over 65. They live in New York.

Thanks in advance!!

I live in a highly white condensed area, and throughout the past years the only guys I attract are men who have "a thing for asians." I'm not ugly, I actually model. I'm attracted to caucasian men, but the only ones I tend to get are creeps, the ones I am actually attracted to just want to be my friend. I don't get it.

Don't hurt yourself.
All bleeding stops.
Don't lose your cool.
Everybody has to die sometime.
You can't hurt a dead man.
Never yell at the nurses (refer to Rule #1.)
Don't get excited about blood loss-unless it's your own.
Don't hit patients or doctors-unless necessary.
SEX isn't everything, but it's a hell-of-a-long-way ahead of anything that's second.
The patient will be all right if he is okay.
The pain will go away when it stops hurting.
Do what's right.
All fevers will eventually come back to normal on the way to room temperature.
There's always time sometime.
Common things are common.
A strawberry by any other name would be a heart with acne.
Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong.
If nothing has gone wrong, you've obviously don't understand the situation.
He who turns to run away must first sign out AMA.
If you can keep your head among all this confusion, you obviously don't understand the situation.
Uncommon manifestations of common diseases are more common than are uncommon diseases.
Death is a severe stage of shock, or shock is a pause in the act of dying.
It doesn't matter what you do as long as it's right.
WHY am I here?
It sure feels good when it quits a "hurtin."
It looks more like it does now than it did.
In medicine, always remember never to say always and never.
In case of emergency call Dr. Wonderful or Earl.
All bleeding is gross.
If you can't see it, it's probably not there.
Don't vomit on the doctor!
Remember, "Toast always falls jelly-side down."
P.I.D. doesn't stand for "pink in dere."
If a patient has a catheter ---he needs it.
We've got to find those "two dudes" and stop them.
Everyone gets treated exactly the same in here ---until he pisses you off.
The pit is a mixture of can do, can't do, and why the hell not!
To be right is only half the battle; to convince the patient is more difficult.
Always do whatever you do best.
Remember, the problem is always better than the X-ray looks.
I was better, but I got over it."

But when they talk of other races who are not white, the other races get a special title like Blacks = African, Browns= Mexicans or Latinos, Yellows= Asians, Reds= Indians. Should the "whites" play this game to? Germans, Russians, English, Italian, Greek, the list goes on.

My landlord just sent out a new lease, on it regarding Megans Law, that they will NOT be responsible for doing background checks, it is up to the tenant to pick up a copy of sex offenders if they want to continue to live here. We have lots of kids here, there are two childmolesters in this park, both are charged with having sex with a child under 14. I have lived here 5 years and some people have lived here 20 years.

I am sick of my teacher making homophobic comments in class. He also allows other students to make gay slurs without any dicipline. I don't want to get him fired, but I also don't want to confront him personally about it.

Today he was eating pink M&M's and he said, "I feel really gay now." And he also said, "There is nothing wrong with being gay, as long as you are happy. HAHAHA!" <---He said that was a pun....?.?.?

It is annoying. I hate it. What can I do without having to confront him, or get him fired??
