Danielle, I am sorry to hear this! I will say a prayer for you and your mom! Keep us posted! P.S. We live very close to each other!

COngrats! I am down 11 pounds! YAY! I got a book that people might find helpful it is called calorie king and it is amazing. It lists the calories in tons of food. Arthur Treacher's seafood sampler has ..... are you sure you are ready for this? 3380 CALORIES in it! Can you believe it?!?!?! ANyway, great little book that will fit in your purse! Keep up the good work!

where do you work? I work in Wynnewood. Jean-Marcus- your idea is great except for the part about me being a wimp! IF only I was tougher! Thanks, though!

MOrgan, you should definetly make sure it is nothing to serious, i.e. go to a DR. But after that, a chiropractor will really help! I am actually going tomorrow to get realigned! My hips bother me sometimes and sometimes I can tell that one leg is longer than the other because one shoulder is higher!

I agree with Christa, tell 'em like it is!

hope your day got better! THankfully you are okay!

what is wrong with people! I am sorry that you are stuck with paying the deposit. I would tell them that you are sorry, you cannot afford to give them presents for the next several years because you are still paying for them to not go to your wedding. jerks!

It is a non-union hospital so I don't know if that is better. Someone did get fired because of me several years ago because he was sexually harrassing me at work (rubbing up against me, saying inappropriate sexual things to me, in front of pts, yuck). So since this happened, the techs say that they can't trust me anyway. I really wish that if I did tell my boss not to use my name, she wouldn't but that has been said in the past and she does anyway. It gives me a headache when I think about it. Some of our pts are very sick and dying. When this a-hole yells at them to stop using the call bell, how does that make them feel? I should suck it up and talk to the boss. I know that, because if it were my G-ma, I would want someone to stick up for her. Bright side, I only work 3 out of 4 weekends and this is not one of them so I have off for about 10 more days! YAY!

Okay, ladies (and Jason and Jean-Marcus), I need help! I am a nurse and I am getting so burnout! I love my job and I love my patients but some of my coworkers are working my nerves! I have one in particular that I work with most frequently that I cannot handle. She is my tech which is basically a nurse's aide. Her job is to get vital signs and help me with things like bedpans, incontinent patients, bathing patients, and drawing blood, that sort of thing. She thinks her job is to play solitaire and bad-mouth everyone! She does not want to do her job. When I ask her to help me clean an incontinent pt, she'll say, we just cleaned her, we can do it later. This is not acceptable, would you want your mother laying in urine or poop? When I ask her to help me reposition people, I get attitude. When she answers call bells and she thinks that the pt has their bell on too much, she will tell the pt to stop ringing their bell. I have even heard her yell at pts. SHe will talk about work related things and bitch about things while cleaning a pt. I even heard her tell a pt (pt was very combative, but still with it) that if he did not stop hitting at her, she was going to take him up to the third floor with the rest of the bodies. (I was in the hall, so I did not directly hear this). Now, I realize that this kind of behavior is not acceptable and I am going out of my mind! Please help me! My problem is further increased by this fact, if I go to my boss, she will proceed to say something to this person and say, "Amanda says". THis person is someone I have to work with almost every shift and she is the kind of person who can rally people to support her and stop talking to, i.e. helping out, people she thinks are out to get her. I could also talk to her about it but I am such a wimp and I know that she will get aggitated and start being aggressive. And then, there will be the shunning where she stops helping you and ignores your requests. I could be a real sissy and write an anynomous letter to my boss but that does not seem credible then, does it? I need this girl's help to do an efficient job, but i don't need her to be yelling at the pts! I do not need to go home with a knot in my stomach because I can't handle her attitude! Please give me advice! Thanks!

Have a great time! Can't wait to see pics! Your dress is beautiful!

you look so amazing in this dress! Congrats!

vegas rocks! Have fun planning!

Jaime, I am so sorry you are still going through all of this. Maybe the stress of school is not helping you get better. I hope that you start feeling better soon. Maybe you should start getting regular massages

oh stephanie! I am so sorry you are going through this! I will say a prayer for you! I hope you did well on your test, i don't know how you could even think to take it!

I would love to come but I work 3 out of 4 weekends a month so I am not sure if it would be possible. But it seems like fun!

no, just double click on it and it will go where it needs to. then you will be able to finish. my pet peeve is that sometimes wheel of fortune will not let you go on to the next game even though all of the letters are filled in on your game. oh well, still fun!

Congrats! Good job!

It is so beautiful! I am so happy for you! You look awesome! I would like to know what you do to get you back looking so great? I have lovely backfat so that dress would never work on me but it is awesome!

I am normally a 18/20 and got an 18 wedding dress from davids. Davids has a million dresses that would work for you. Is there anyway you can visit one? Davids was great to me but the only problem is I think once you buy something, you cannot return it, i think. i am not sure how it would work online. Good luck!

Welcome! Congrats on your upcoming wedding!

hi! I just stumbled on your pics, you looked so beautiful! I am glad you had such a great time!

hi! Happy planning and congrats!

woo hoo, skinny jeans are on me right now! too bad i want a cheesecake to celebrate!

Everyone is right, once you have the spot confirmed, you will feel so much less stressed! Good luck!

welcome! So happy for you! Have fun planning!
