    just found out earlier that chicago will have a 30 day stay at home starting monday, as we all know that covid is climbing back up again in a alarming rate. here at my hospital icu and other floors is filling up with positive and pui patients and we are in code white for the past 3 days already. everybody is pretty worn out but what can you do, just keep on trucking. i'm hoping outpatient procedures will shutdown for a while until it calms down again. if your going for a test i hope it's not because it's your yearly check up, go here if it's an emergency if your not in pain it can wait, don't risk going into a hospital for a routine check up end of rant :#

    This saddens me so much. All my family is up in Chicago. I lost a family member due to covid this week. A woman who is like my second mom tested positive yesterday. Thankfully she's doing okay but it just breaks my heart that I can't go visit her or take care of her like she's done for me. I have been so down this week freaking out about what would happen if my dad gets sick. He's not in the best shape and that thought terrifies me. I had plans to go see them for Thanksgiving but now with this new order and the cases being so high up there I made the hard decision to cancel for everyone's safety. Now that it has hit home its a lot more scary and a lot more devastating. Ugh. I think I said way too much but I just wanted to wish you all the luck during these times and thank you for everything you do up in that hospital.

    So sorry to hear this :( keep your chin up

    Honestly, does anyone really care what happened to DB Cooper?
    I sure don’t care.
    I can’t believe that people are still spending money trying to solve the mystery.
    Seems there are other mysteries much more in need of solving.

    I find the story an interesting footnote in the annals of history, but I'm not really interested in what happened to him since he's likely dead at this point.

    No, a new show on History channel.
    Says the “expert”s name was
    Eric Ulis.
    I was disappointed that was the first episode. 🤨

    All I want for Christmas is to refinance my house at these outrageously low interest rates we're currently enjoying.

    Why is the process of taking care of oneself oftentimes so daunting? I'm realizing there are a lot of minor things I need to work on in addition to just "eating better and exercising". I can't even get a handle on one, so how am I going to tackle all of the others in a lifetime that's already more than 1/3 over?

    I disagreed... This is from 2010 or so. What was the outcome because essentially I take the same stance on this, if you don’t like smokers don’t patron the establishment, as I do with mask “mandates” where I won’t be a patron of theirs.

    The panel touched on this during the discussion.

    " Smoking in Public "

    Isn't this a private business and enterprise ?

    I hate cigarette smoke.... hate it beyond words.

    That being said, if I hate smoke, why would I frequent this establishment ( I wouldn't. )

    If people want to trash their own lungs and damage their health with smoking, have at it - freedom of choice, right? Just don't ask me to pay for your healthcare.

    The same goes for marriage. Marry anybody or anything you want.
    You can marry a chicken taco, just don't ask me to pay for the wedding.

    How about a loan for a date then? Me and the taco are getting pretty serious 😃

    What about fire codes though... I thought that was mostly the reason for eliminating smoking in public places...

    That being said... I mean you can't just go to a restaurant naked because that's your prerogative right? 🤷🏽‍♂️

    Going to a restaurant naked ? It's about the 'going' part; that's a public issue (no public nudity) and once you're at the restaurant, it's a health department issue.

    If we are so concerned with safety, why not address vehicle fatalities?

    We can all but eliminate fatalities from automobile accidents; it's easy.
    We'll just put speed limiters on all vehicles, both commercial and private.
    We'll go with 10 MPH on the city streets and ramp it up to an excessive 15 MPH on the freeways.

    Remember, if we save just one life, it will be worth it.

    I wish. :lol: There used to be a place in San Fransisco that you could dine naked if you wanted to. Pretty sure it's not around anymore (even pre-Covid). The city allowed it for a time so long as clean towels were placed down for every patron that frequented the place and the seats were cleaned between each sitting.

    There also used to be one in Paris, France and London, England. Not sure if either of them are around, either.

    It's honestly a false equivalence... Driving on the road compared with smokers in a restaurant is not the same...

    And the fact is that roads and driving is already policed...
    We have traffic lights and laws centered around driving vehicles...

    In fact you can use the same argument the other way and argue that we have all these laws and regulations for drivers, why shouldn't we for smokers...
