Even more concerning, there's only one bed...

I just wish they'd taught it as a skill when I took languages in school. Reading became sooooo much easier once I understood.

Romantic words were incorporated differently into other languages as the Roman Empire's influence spread. Words like inflammable have more direct Latin roots than words like indebt. So where Inflammable comes directy from the latin inflammo, indebt came from old French and middle English, going from something like endetter and endetten, using the root word dete and dette, but stemming from the root Latin word, debitum. Then en became in at some point.

That's how I understood it anyway through a very short amount of google searching. Anyone feel free to correct me.

No, what will happen instead is they'll get rid of half of the nurses and the ones they keep will be responsible for 16 million things. My agency is going through it right now. They fired one of our APNs and gave all her duties to our other one. She's already overwhelmed to the point of crying in the office.

If my grandfather taught me anything, it was the importance of knowing when to start over, as long as you persist, until it's done right.

"Not too long ago, my ex-girlfriend told me her new boyfriend was complaining that her back door was too tight. When I went over, I didn't have any problem slipping right in. I even tried a few times and couldn't figure out the issue. Well, she recently sent me a photo, and I think I see the problem..."

That was my first thought too. I just reread Skeleton Crew a few weeks ago. Mrs. Todd's Shortcut, if anyone's interested. Going through the dark tower series again now and really love how even short stories like Mrs. Todd get tied in.

That's alright, cause the guy who just took your order just responded with "I love you."
