RN, we lost power twice tonight, hubby didn't get home from teaching until 11PM due to so many trees in roads. I'm talking BIG trees, not just limbs. Also fires from downed power lines, over 100,000 without power so far and more expected. All schools, meals on wheels, etc are closed tomorrow. Problem is....neither hubby nor I know what to do. He has a great job interview tomorrow and I have an appt with my pain management doctor. His interview is very early in the morning so he can't even call ahead to see if he should go or not so he's going to try to get there. My doc appt. is later so I can call ahead to find out if they are open but I need new pain meds because mine aren't working anymore and if they are closed I'll be in pain all weekend! ACK!

Oh, Twinkie, you and hubby please be careful.

But if Hubby does get to interview, they may think "we want this guy to work for us, he doesn't let a little bad weather slow him down." Hope all goes well.

And I understand about needing those pain meds! Good luck and you guys be careful.

oh my heck. RN, yesterday was the goofiest, what can go wrong, will, day in ages! we had no patients scheduled so we could have all the computers updated and train on them. we had a staff meeting at 8:30, and at 9:00 a.m. the front office staff met in one room and the medical staff in another and we popped in our learning disks, and someone took down a tree across the street and put out all the electricity for an 11 square mile area. so we caravaned to one of the nurses' cabins, where her dh made coffee and put in our disks on their two laptops. the front office one wouldn't work at all and the medical one had no volume. then the docs called for directions to this cabin 5 miles down a dirt road. once they arrived, they tried to show us some of what all of would need to learn. maybe 5 minutes into it, the head nurse remembered all medical assistants had to be in the clinic for the county to come and teach us to draw blood for lead tests on certain children. so we packed into a couple of cars and headed back to the still-dark office. we tried to do some work in the exam rooms that have windows, but since we are all electronic and the fax didn't work and the phones wouldn't ring, etc., we couldn't do much. the two little general stores and the one restaurant--which only serves breakfast and lunch--also had to close. the CEO of the clinic had to drive 40 miles each way to redding to get us some sandwiches. so we ate in the dark and had our compliance meeting. needless to say, when we got in this morning, the techs were still trying to get all our computers online with the new updates and we had 45 patients to see throughout the day and we are all way behind with putting things into the scanner and the electronic files. the fax spit out about 100 prescription refill requests from pharmacies during the night. wow, what a long day!
but anyway, all i was thinking was, "only in a small town would people drive all over heck and back to try and get their work done".

RN, my son just called. he is a vegetarian and his gf is vegan. she used to be vegetarian...anyway, her mom is going to visit from dallas. my son called because the gf told her mom that she could not eat meat in their house when she is there for 4 days. i told my son that was wrong to do. they could just have made meals they could all eat and not have meat in them. they did not have to tell gf's mom there was a rule in their house. i tried to explain it's not the same as smoking or something. it doesn't hurt them if someone else eats meat. their cats eat canned tuna, too...
we pay 2/3 of the rent and gf's mom contributes 100 dollars or so to help out each month and the kids pay maybe 200 between them. so if there were rules to be made, i think WE should make them! but that's not the point. i told my son i thought he should have gf call her mom back and tell her she made a mistake in setting down that rule. the kids don't drink coffee, either, but that doesn't mean they can tell me i CAN'T have coffee when i'm visiting. i don't think the kids get it, but i still think it's wrong for gf to tell her mom there is a 'rule'. was i wrong to tell them they hurt gf's mom's feelings and they shouldn't have said anything to her? just made the meals they normally do and she'd most likely eat them...
well, i'm off to bed. tomorrow is 'think pink' day--we all have to wear our breast cancer awareness shirts on fridays and next week, on thursday for breast cancer awareness day. i can't believe the one who looks best in the pink shirt is the male medical assistant!!

Right now, TK, I don't think what you said was wrong at all. I think they should just cook what they cook and hopefully the mother would eat it but to say she couldn't have any meat at all, when she's not a vegan, would be tough.

RN They should just give her coupons to the nearest Macdonald's. LOL KIDDING HERE! I can see both points of view. But agree that they should just offer what they normally eat, and if she gets any carnivorous cravings she can always sneak off for a burger or go out with other friends or relations for a meal. It WAS rude to lay down the law like that...

RN I agree, they should have not said any rule like that to the mom. They could have talked to the mom about their concern's with more class and dignity or sensativity then acting that way. It was totally disrespectful.

ETA: If my kid told me that, I would not stay with them after that. I would stay in a hotel and eat out.

RN Twinkie, it's 3:09 a.m. (Twinkie and I are 25 miles from each other!). I woke up on the couch to what sounded like a loud gunshot. The snow is super heavy, and it is cracking off big branches from the trees out in front of my neighbor's house. The leaves haven't falled from them yet, and the snow is very wet and heavy. What is scary at MY house is that the tree is HUGE and if bigger limbs come down, they'll land on my porch roof or my car. I had one car taken out by an ice storm years ago...oh no, not again, please! And no, I'm not going outside to move my car, not with those branches weighed down so heavily!

Our power is flickering. If Twinkie or I don't get online tomorrow, you will all know why! Wow, this is crazy RN! I'll post pics in the a.m. if the power holds up long enough to charge my digital camera battery and we have power so I can go online! YIKES!

Pamy, you made me curious, so I looked this up.

Broiling:
Pierce the sausages with a fork or knife in a few places.
Place on a rack or broiler, insert and set under a pre-heated broiler unit at 500° about 3-4 inches from the heat source.
Using tongs, carefully turn the sausages once.

Total cooking time should be 12-15 minutes. Insert a small sharp knife into the center to test.

Baking:
Preheat the oven to 425°.
Pierce the sausages with a fork or knifepoint in a few places and place them on a baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes turning once, or until the internal temperature is 150°F - 160°F. A faint pinkness should remain at the center.
