I work in a hospital, in the admin department, and have to do deliveries throughout the hospital daily.. I was just wondering when a patient dies in the hospital how do they get the patient from their room to the morgue without other patient, visitors, workers etc seeing?? My office is next to the "viewing room" (morgue) and i have never seen anyone being wheeled in there, surely they don't leave the body in the room till late at night when minimal staff are on and do it then do they?? It is a private hospital too, so every patient has their own private room.. Im just curious to how they go about it, and I'm still to new here to ask anyone without them thinking I'm wierd or morbid...

I feel as though middle eastern countries have a better fashion sense than as we do as americans. Women over their don't expose what should be kept for the better room. I believe sex is more sacred over in middle easter counties because of the way they dress. And maybe we would be far more advanced than we are here in america if we dressed like them too, sex wouldn't always be on our minds. This isn't to say men aren't to blame for sex crimes against women, they need to excercise restraint, and common sense, to know to have sex with women who want to have it with them, not to force anyone to have it with them.

Let me start out by saying i am straight.

I work with a guy that is convinced that i told him i was gay. At first it didn't bother me. But he has gone around and told everyone at work that i am gay, and now i am trying to settle it. But when i tell him i'm not gay, he just pretty much shrugs his shoulder. He keeps telling me "dude, if you're gay, you can tell me, i won't mind." And he's being 100% serious. It has gotten to the point where i can't stand it anymore.

Then one night i had a note left on my POS desk. It read as follows:

"Pound it!
you're gay. Does that hurt your feelings?
--DON'T LIE"

it was written in girls handwriting. The situation is being investigated, and they are figuring out who wrote it.

Ok, that's the story. My question is, would it be possible to sue the person that wrote the note and the guy that keeps harrassing me?

I'm not looking for money compensation, just for the party to be made an example of.

Women flaut their cleavage in many places, but is it ok to do it at work? Aren't they suppose to be selling the business not themselves?

i'm saying like when we travel in buses... consider the case of standing... when we stand aside of a girl who is sitting.. her cleavage is exposed to us.... is there any wrong in seeing that without disturbing her and even without her notice? and when both are standing occationally our hands or other parts tend to touch their sensitive parts like breasts and backs... only due to over rush... is there any wrong in enjoying that? consider one thing... all the things are happeing accidently.. no intentional doings....

We are having a 10th birthday party for our daughter. We our new to the school. We have invited all the girls in the class.(10) I have written rsvp on the invitations, but only received 2 calls. What do I do with the other people who haven't responded? It's hard to plan a party when people aren't considerate.

Im a flirt by nature, I dont want anything out of it and half the time I dont even realize that I am being that way... Im happily married with two beautiful kids. I wonder why if two people flirt harmlessly that others think bad of the woman because they think she is trying to get that person in bed... not all women do this to get guys in bed or to try and steal your man sometimes they dont realize they are being flirty... my question, why do other women look down on other girls for this and why cant someone be flirty without actually wanting something out of it... I flirt with my husbands friends all the time out of just plain fun... my husbands secure enough to know that I dont mean it, he is also a natural flirt which I have no problems with... if he cheated he knows the consequences.. so why cant flirting be just harmless fun between friends or whatever?

I meet many people every day and everyone I meet or talk to are just too busy talking about themselves, I mean, I try to be a good listener as I feel that is important but come on people, it isn't all about you so quit ****** talking and do some listening when you meet others, ask someone how they are and sincerely mean it, ok.

I learned when I was a boy that if you don't know the marital status of a woman it is proper to refer to her as "Mz". Ms. was for an unmarried woman and Mrs. of course was for a married woman. This practice seems to have changed or been forgotten. Thanks!

My Boss of three years is moving up to the North Suburbs of Chicago, and has taken another job. I was just going to give her a greeting card as a going away gift, but thought that since she has been so good to me, a small gift may be appropriate. Can anyone suggest something small and inexpensive to give to her? Thank You!

Someone on one of my answers on a present to my son said I should give him a gift card for his birthday. I think for co-workers it is fine. But not for people you really know. It shows no thought or effort. That is really what it is supposed to be about. Not just money

I also think people who return most of their gifts to get what "they really wanted" or pay bills are pretty pathetic too. Unless you REALLY need the money.

Hi, I'm a teenager in high school, and I was just wondering if anyone had any tips on how to retaliate to people who choose to swear at me, etc. I do not want to swear back at them, so what can i say back to them to convey the point, while still maintaining my composure and presence

I used to buy a lot of stuff on eBay, but people are letting the shipping costs get out of control. They want $12 to ship a 99 cent T-shirt. Does anyone else agree with me on this?? Thanks for your input!
