      not here. but there was a resident doctor whom I really hated: looked 18, acted like he was 40, mind of a 4 year old. They never should of let him graduate high school.

        Interestingly, if the Epstein thing brings Trump to fall, WW3 might happen later and the cost of living might go down for you. You’re murican, right?

        Do you think it’ll happen?

          ha, lower cost of living would be nice. also nice if we could just have normie leaders globally.

          I seriously doubt a scandal of any kind stopping trump, maybe other than economic collapse.

          ww3 seems likely to me, globalization + internet does not mix with traditional living, and a lot of people on earth won’t like that.

          Throw AI into the mix, you’ve got a wild ride that makes all the political scandals look small.

    I just spent a few days sitting with my FIL in hospital. We binged Gunsmoke. I am a reluctant fan of Festus now.

    • do they have you scheduled for any sight-seeing like CT or MRI scans?
    • can you order UberEats to your room? I watched them come and go frequently and wondered if it was for employees, inmates, or both
    • do you ask all the nurses for crunchy ice?
    • have you asked that one nurse for a bed bath?
    • are most of the nurses pregnant like they were at my hospital? Wtf is in the water?!

      24/7 EEG

      other stuff was done last month

      idk about uber eats, I’m poor lol.

      I love crunchy ice, I’ll have to ask.

      I give myself washcloth baths in the bathroom ; it’s ok.

      Ha, they all have kids, idk if they are pregnant. A lot have those fancy flag pins now, and it’s a metro hospital so maybe pregnancy is going out of style.

      I think you know what’s in the water.

      oddly enough, ‘I, Robot’ was the first thing on the TV.

      I’m sure that’s not a coincidence.

        have mostly stuck to raisin brand on the menu, out of fear.

        the menu name sound hilariously gourmet, bc the food is small and bad.

      surprisingly busy with nurses & keeping a log, but saw iRobot and Book of Eily back to back on AMC

      first movie was pretty good, bc I’m a big Philip K Dick fan, second movie was hilariously bad.
