Charlie LMSW Expert on Death & Dying; hEDS Sucks

This has to be the best "Purr & Toes" exhibit!

@mmcph7515 yep, weird.

@JahNestaWailer My coffee is so good this morning.... thank-you for asking!

Who?

@maestroharrell @MuhammadAli This. Is. Beautiful!!

Thank you for being an example all people no matter race, religion or creed can look up too. We all have limited time on this earth and not only did you use yours to change the world… you even took some time out for me.. Thank you Happy Birthday Worlds Greatest 🥊🙏🏾

@traychaney @WireFans @Ziggys_Duck

#EMMYS y’all really didn’t acknowledge one of the greatest shows of all time #TheWIRE? 🤔 I know I ain’t the only one who peeped that ChaneyWay.com @WireFans @Ziggys_Duck

Weather permitting, our Relief Team will have free meals available today at the following locations in Florida and Alabama for people impacted by the recent storms. Please share with anyone in the area in need of support. #ChefsForAmerica

@paulwaldman1 @atrupar Those legislators opposing restrictions could be mandated to attend every.single.mass shooting to assist the mortuaries and give blood. That kind of "boots-on-the ground" assistance could be eye-opening.

Even apart from the insane GOP idea that we have all the mass shootings because only in America are there people with mental health issues, note that they always say "we have to deal with mental health" but never say what dealing with it is supposed to mean. No ideas at all.

@gtconway3d @Mikel_Jollett We have. .... from the beginning, addressing how Narcissistic Personality Disorders function and what one can expect of behaviors. But somehow - There seem to be so many postings and talking heads "surprised" when tfg did something predictable. mayoclinic.org/diseases-condi…

Can anyone explain to me exactly why we’ve never had a serious national discussion about Donald Trump’s mental health?

@RhymesRadical This is simply beautiful! Thank-you so much for posting!

I am very close to giving up, but then I had a dream. Read all about it here... ko-fi.com/post/Nightmare…

@DizziHeds @himmatb15 @karenlubell These are some great questions.... going to the neurologist may be able to answer some of these, as there can be a variety of reasons within the scope of these diagnoses. There are a lot of parts in motion with this, but getting more tests will help!

@himmatb15 @karenlubell Have waited 10 months to see neurologist, its next week. Is the ANS/CFS created by CCI due to EDS or past injury? Is the exercise induced anaphlaxis triggered to the OI? Are the gut issues and dizziness related to vasovagal response? If so, can this be corrected?

A poll for severe and very severe ME/LC folks only: Do you have or suspect cervical instability/spinal issues (CCI/AAI/TCS) contributing to your illness? If yes, please reply if you have EDS or not? (Old poll deleted due to faulty options, please vote again if already done so)

@himmatb15 @karenlubell hEDS.... pursuing seated MRI assessment to rule-out instability

@OGG921 @DarleneDempsey6 ikr? Go-to answer: "a looooooooong time ago"

@DarleneDempsey6 I hated that question when completing forms for my 87 yr. old mom. Now in my 60's, I hate it PLUS the "when was your last period" question. (I dunno, 13-17 yrs ago-ish... I didn't know it was the last one for quite awhile. They were sporadic for simply ages.)

I worked in Pre-op for several years. Many an angry conversation @ us HCW about this. So much to unpack. So much to say about this -- not enough characters left to do it and I ain't paying X for the pleasure of typing in more....

@Ziggys_Duck @ResignedHoplite

@ResignedHoplite Donette.

In the mail today was 3 credit card bills, a court summons & a package from @maestroharrell. I open the package it’s full of Wire goodies & *Surrounded By Idiots* merchandise. Thanks, Maestro, for making my day! First up- the air freshener (hanging from my IPad) sbimerch.myshopify.com

@AussieWriter I love the UK shows for that very reason…. Instead, the coppers yell, “Stop! …..I said ‘Stop!’” …and then foot-chase ensues….😂

A live look at ⁦@RudyGiuliani⁩’s accountants right now

@JaymetheRN Yeah...the RN is the DON. But in reality, on the floor triaging room after room after room....

Is this what we want for our loved ones & as employees? Note the RN is at 250 Residents 😳

@JaymetheRN I had a great weekend gig in Hospice IPU: sit with the at the nurses station so we could determine if pt need was nursing or social work services. Nurses could nurse and Pt/ family care was excellent and supportive!

@JaymetheRN Can you imagine if every nurses station had an administrative assistant and a Social Worker?

Nurses are the "catch all" people No ward secretaries, room turnover staff, CNA, transport, dietary, cleaning, lab, RT? No biggie...the Nurses can do it Never did I see an administrator helping Each added task pulls Nurses away from regular nursing duties

BREAKING: Las Vegas police say they're responding to reports of an active shooter on the UNLV campus.

For more than a decade, we have filmed in neighborhoods in Baltimore that most people would find inhospitable and alienating, if not, in some ways frightening to many outsiders.  We have done so without incident, without losing equipment or having anyone hurt - and without alienating people in the neighborhoods were we have worked.  We get the work done when extraordinary, unscripted events are often taking place a block or two away, with police helicopters flying overhead and sirens blaring to threaten our audio, with entire neighborhoods coming 'round to watch the filming and interact with the cast ("Ho, shit.  It's Omar.  Hey, Omar.  Come rob me, yo!"), or when our choice of location has obliged us to displace actual drug corners. We have routinely been able to convince the law-abiding residents of many of these neighborhoods that we will respect their concerns, that we will not trash these streets, that we will leave our film sets better than we have found them.  And we have been able to convince the corner boys that we are not the police, that we will film our scenes and move on without provoking any police response against them.  It is a delicate process, but we make it work for us and for the communities as well, regardless of where we find ourselves in Baltimore. Out of these neighborhoods, too, we have found and hired actors, crew members, and office staff and we have been able to channel our resources to charitable endeavors that have nothing to do with filmmaking.  One of our wardrobe supervisors began his career by following the Homicide crew around the city as a kid, standing behind the video monitors and asking questions.  Once an adolescent mascot, he is now a reliable member of the film team.  And at all points, we have recognized that we are visitors to these places and that after our film is shot and our trucks depart, other people will continue to live and struggle there.  I am very proud of how we have interacted with so many communities in Baltimore and how welcome we still are in the city - at least on the street level. -David Simon (2006)
