He collects for the 'just in case" scenario. And the hospital waste is atrocious. Alex brings home these towels from the OR that are just otherwise thrown away. And NO they are not full of blood! We have quite a collections. I hope health care reform cracks down on the throw away night mare.Sandra Moreanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08952107078192696943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4516524448870006829.post-72441391539687415382010-03-23T16:13:48.553-04:002010-03-23T16:13:48.553-04:00What a fuzzy gray world it is...
I've studied...What a fuzzy gray world it is...<br /><br />I've studied marketing, and I know that getting your name out there (almost) any way you can is KEY. But, if you are to tote it home USE it. Discovering drawers full of mini stuff from hotels (or else where) is just disturbing. <br /><br />So, on one hand we have pressure to use the stuff (or take it home and share our nice memories with family and friends), and on the other the base economics of each thing costs, and if we burn through a thousand paperclips a week that ends up being a lot of money. Taking paperclips is theft. (I wouldn't want to prosecute it, but it is theft.)<br /><br />Would eliminating such things fix healthcare (as has been proposed by some....)? NO. I'll not rant here about the inefficiencies of the system, but all you have to do is talk to a real person in the system (either a provider or a 'recipient' of "care") to discover how inefficient the system is, and how it isn't related to the cost of plastic.<br /><br />Rant over.Alanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08442419546836689939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4516524448870006829.post-35888827013361604692010-03-22T11:41:58.953-04:002010-03-22T11:41:58.953-04:00I saw a few episodes - I can't believe they go...I saw a few episodes - I can't believe they got Madonna on! She and Larry David were fun, but I tend to disagree with the conclusions. I thought it was completely reasonable to withhold sex when the husband won't clean; of course, the bigger question is: why did you marry a slob?Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17173711110500689117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4516524448870006829.post-45339192328471776192010-03-21T14:31:56.251-04:002010-03-21T14:31:56.251-04:00Hi Sheria, I am glad to see that you are back with...Hi Sheria, I am glad to see that you are back withus.

We're bound to find more uses for Mama's mantra, "You can't sterilize plastic."<br /><br />I'd never heard of The Marriage Ref, but I can tell you for sure what couples really want when they go to a marital therapist: every single new couple would present their respective cases like they thought I was Judge Judy. I even went so far as to buy a ref's whistle. They didn't want to learn to be married; they wanted to know who was right. My mantra: You can be right or you can be married. Choose.<br /><br />Love you when you're funny; love you when you're serious. Been waiting to see if you could hold out until the vote! Glad you couldn't wait.
