Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 199 - Dumb Poll of the Month

You had a hat on so I figured it was starting to get chilly.

Yeah, I did on Friday night. Saturday I had my hat on, but didn't put the ear flaps down, and I don't think my jacket was even zipped up Saturday. It really wasn't that bad. People that can't deal with a few hours in -30 weather are soft and weak.

If I'm on an island, my awake time is usually devoted 90% to drinking some kind of rum concoction, while sitting on a beach, or at a beach bar. Occasionally, that changes to drinking a rum concoction on an actual boat, or next to a pool, but drinking a rum concoction is an essential component of any activity I do while on a tropical island.

I fall into this type of vacationing when going somewhere warm. My whole life is on a schedule, routine, etc. I like Vacation to be abasolutley zero planning when I’m there — complete relaxation and freedom to do as I choose.

I guess the same type of approach that you're doing with everything else. It's different if a doctor says you can't have any of some type of food or beverage for some medical condition, but if you know that something isn't good for you but you really enjoy consuming it, at least reducing your intake is a positive step. If you eat fewer GS cookies or over a longer period of time, that helps. It seems that when people select diets where they can't eat things that they love at all, then they have a harder time sticking to the diet and abandon it altogether.

I'm sure that you eat better than I do, so consider the source.

This is the diet I’ve been on since the start of 2019. Down 8 pounds by taking pop (soda ) out of my diet other than one on Sundays — I’ve done more meal prepping and have been much more conscious of what I’m eating — then on a Sunday I’ll have some pizza and a little ice cream. (Two of my absolute favorites)

Splurging or cheating one day has worked for me so far, and boy does that Sunday meal taste even more delicious.

You're down 8 pounds in 22 days???? Like, for real??? I stopped drinking soda daily about three years ago and have gained weight. Why is so easier for guys? Not fair. I will say all the anxiety I've experienced in the past month with my dad, I lost close to 6 pounds. Not the way I wanted to lose weight.

les - there was a period in time when I was taking a fish oil tablet and also glucosamine chron-something or other. I stopped. I didn't mind the fish oil. Would have no problem taking that again if it helps a bit. I have salmon on my shopping list. And walnuts.

Well, we changed clothes at the hotel, to go back out to drink the night away.

Busy weekend, just getting around to replying now. Spent it on the Cape in a recording studio.

Bummer. That is never a nice feeling.

Boston Globe had a big article on EMRs on the front page. Didn't read it but mr les waved it at me and said I was not alone. (Not positive, driving MDs out of profession, causing burn out). Thought of you. Who ever decides to write one that actually takes into consideration the medical decision tree could write their ticket...

I read it. Interesting, not sure I buy that the "issue" is as bad as they're stating but I do hear a lot of generally negative feedback. The documentation requirements are pretty substantial (necessary? Not necessary? I've no idea) and details change relentlessly so it's nearly impossible to be on top of it all.

Ugh - the worst. We're doing a big merger (I wonder if we work for the same system). I think there is already a lot of duplicate leadership at my hospital in Burlington, I am sure changes are coming (though not likely to nursing, I hope).

It was definitely a consideration for my dad to retire. He probably would have stuck it out a few more years (he may have ended up divorced though), but the hospital was requiring him to switch over by the end of last year (so he retired in July of last year).

Hanging in there, Lodgers. Starting 5 in a row (love working through a snow storm)...

Hey, we're going to be coworkers!

I am this type when I go on vacation, period. Even if it's just a day trip/overnight trip. Time has no meaning. "What do I want to do? Okay, let's do that."

Evening, Lodge. No snow yet. It was supposed to start snowing this afternoon. Not much, but enough to make the roads a little slick. Nope, nothing yet.
