A recent survey of doctors by the Pew Institute found that 45 percent of all practicing doctors would consider retiring or closing their practices if the Obama healthcare bill passes. It's not idle threats. "After more than a decade of public healthcare with mandatory coverage, so many Canadian doctors have left the practice and so many young...
Today is my co-worker's last day here at work. :( Very sad.

Really? Maybe my kid will win a Nobel next year for his science project.

Wow, this translated version of one of my blog posts has seen a ton of hits! At least somebody is listening. :)...
My priest friended me on Facebook yesterday! That was a shock. When I accepted, he wrote: "Hey Dawn. I had no idea how FB worked until yesterday. This is cool!" HA! Too cute.
I wonder how much money the world lost in productivity today because FB acquired FF and nobody wants to work now. :)
It's so great to come here and almost every single post is about the acquisition!! :)
Sorry state of affairs when there are so few exits that you have to pick the less of four evils and call it a big win.

My short exchange with Seth Godin http://thehiveiscoming.wordpress.com/2009...
Yesterday at the Highland Games, I ran into a friend I've known for 15 years but haven't seen since my husband died, since they were more his friends than mine. I told her it was good to see her and asked where her husband was. That's when she told me that they got divorced and then introduced me to her new female partner. I have to admit, I...
...was a bit floored. I didn't see that coming, at all. They'd been married over 20 years and wrote, sang and performed Christian music together. - Dawn
The "Free" debate rages on. Here's my 2 cents: http://thehiveiscoming.wordpress.com/2009...
What should be the punishment for the person who hacked Twitter?
A medal and the keys to the city of Mountain View? - Alex Scoble
I'm curious why you feel that way, Alex. Or are you being facetious? - Dawn
A $500 reward and a kick in the nuts. - Chris, Taskerrific Guy
Aw, Ying and Yang. :) That might be appropriate. - Dawn
Yeah, that was definitely sarcasm. By the way, friendfeed's offices are in Mountain View. :) - Alex Scoble
A co-worker and I made a pact weeks ago to shoot each other before we loose our brains, like many of the residents in the nursing home where we work. We're in the business office and it was a really hard week, so in the middle of some frustrated activity yesterday, I blurted, "Urrhhh! I'm losing my mind!" Gina walked up to me and give me this...
...weird, almost evil, look. And I'm like "NO, NO! Don't take that as a cue!" Ha! :) - Dawn
S&H Green Stamps. I saw this photo online and showed it to my daughter, telling her how much I loved them growing up. She looks at me horrified and says, "You did acid?!"

ha-ha, that's hilarious! I remember filling in those books with my parents when I was a kid. I don't remember what we actually got. Maybe like a sleeping bag or something. - Laura Norvig
Yeah, talk about a generation gap. :) - Dawn
We'd make a yearly trip to the redemption store 70 miles away and get to pick out fun things we normally didn't get to buy, being a relatively poor family. It was a real event! Lots of fond memories. I hated the taste of those stamps though. As the "responsible middle child" I usually got stuck with sticking them into the books. - Dawn
When is the last time you cried?
When I watched Up...true story. - Alex Scoble
Haha same here! I cried when I watched Up twice, haven't cried since. - Carlton Prest
leaving my ex-wife, :( - chaz2b
Frankfurt, Germany. In the middle of the night. Don't ask... - Helen Sventitsky
About three and a half hours ago. - Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
ah, Jandy :( - Christopher Harley
Right now, heh. - joey
ah, Joey :( - Christopher Harley
Christopher, I'm fine! Just watching something sad. - joey
Alex: Up was a great movie! I cried, too. - Dawn
Last night, watching the documentary "Beyond Hatred": http://www.pbs.org/video... - Ayşe E.
Long LONG time ago.. - Matt Ruiz
I cried last week when I was thinking about my son moving to Florida to participate in a year long Wounded Warrors program, and then I cried this week now that it looks like he might not get to be a part of it, after all. :( - Dawn
Last Saturday, when I returned home after taking my son to college. - Glen Campbell, B.A.
too many times over the last couple weeks - Jason Wyttenbach
Ooh, Glen, that's a big one. Gosh, I wish you ALL well!! - Dawn
Oh Dawn, I really hope that your son is able to participate. *HUGS* - joey
At the end of the Futurama episode "Jurassic Bark". Like I do every time I see that episode. (Futurama fans will know the episode. You are not human if you don't tear up a little bit at the end of that one) - Haggis (Sean Loyless)
Thank you, Joey! Me, too. - Dawn
Yesterday. I felt like my entire world was caving in on me. :( - Derrick
I hope you all don't take this wrong, but I'm heartened to see how many males here have not only cried recently but are admitting it!! Way to go!! :) - Dawn
I'll also cry like a little girl when I watch that Scrubs episode where Ben dies: http://www.youtube.com/watch... - Haggis (Sean Loyless)
I cried during Up too! I didn't know it would be sad. I also cry at that Futurama episode, they sure know how to get to you. Last time though, was today. (My World of Warcraft family may be breaking up, again, and I'm slightly hormonal >.>) - Heather
Each and every time on the road home after dropping my daughter off at her other home - Steve

Am I the only one in the world who hates the iPhone keypad? It takes me three times as long to type on it as my Blackberry, because my fingers often hit the wrong keys. Very frustrating!
That's the problem with going from a BB to the iPhone...better to go from a regular phone to an iPhone, but you can't unlearn the awesomeness that is a good mobile QWERTY keyboard - Alex Scoble
How come nobody is using that swype technology that was demo'd at TechCrunch50 least year? I thought that was a great idea. - Dawn
I've gotten better at it, and the word correction algorithm that apple employs helps quite a bit. i still like the keyboard on my treo 800w better (its only redeeming quality, really) - Bill Kinney
Trust the Force (aka, the auto-correct). =) Unless you're typing a lot of non-dictionary words. - ronin
I went from a BB to the iPhone. It's different, but it works. You'll get used to it. - Jeremy Brooks
Do you guys use the tips of your fingers or the pad of your fingers? I suspect the tip would work better, but I have long nails, so I have to use the pad of my finger and it's too big, even on the sideways view. - Dawn
I Prefer physical qwerty keyboards. Although with the implementation of typing sizeways with 3.0 for ipod/iphone it makes it easier with the wider key spacing! - David Myers
Love my BBerry and the SureType, eensy weensy keyboard and all. - Kathy Fitch
The Jackson 3 World Tour? Disturbing story. I hope MJ's father doesn't get his clutches into the kids. That's the last thing Michael would want. http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol...

I like this Shredded Wheat campaign. I think it will be very successful for them. http://thepalaceoflight.com/
Do you have a tattoo? What and where?
I have a small yellow rose on my right hand. - Dawn
So FF'ers are all tech geeks who don't get tattoos? :) - Dawn
I have the kanji for "Year of the Snake" on my right shoulder and a large scorpion on my left and am thinking of getting a couple more at this point. - Christian (Simply X)
none - jamar78
No - Morton Fox
No and never. - Louis Gray
I don't - Paola Bonomo
As surprised as I was, Mona has 2 I guess. - vijay
I have a rose on my wrist and a daisy on the side of my calf. The daisy is my favorite, it looks like a watercolor painting w/hardly any black ink. Got it when I was 20. crap, that was a long time ago! - TheMacMommy
My late husband had a beautiful wolf on his right shoulder. It was honestly the best looking tattoo I have ever seen. It looked like a pastel drawing and not a tattoo at all. It was all grays, except for the yellow eyes. - Dawn
Louis: Oh, come on. Think outside the box. Surely there would be SOMEthing you could get into. The Google logo? No. A little laptop? Neah. Hmmmm...what would be appropriate for a social media expert? I'll have to think about that one. - Dawn
for Louis - I'm thinking chain links. - TheMacMommy
I wonder if they make Easy Button or Panic Button tattoos. Where would you put it if you got one? (right now, mind is in the gutter so reserving comment) - TheMacMommy
I would think an "Easy Button" tattoo would belong just below the belt, centered under the belly-button - Christian (Simply X)
my shoulder blade has a nautilus shell section - Kostantinos Koukopoulos
2 ... Dallas Cowboys star on the inside of my right ankle and a band of stars and hearts on my left wrist - ♥patricia♥
Never did it. And now I'm too old to get one. - Bryan R. Adams
I have a black tribal pattern on my lower back and a colored dragon on the left side of my pelvic region. - Sally Robinson
Interesting! Thanks for sharing, everybody. The "my shoulder blade has a nautilus shell section" is a great way to say it! :) Ha! - Dawn
Yes, lots. - Derrick
Yes, 45 adapter on right shoulder. - Rahsheen ™, Coach of FF
No. - Alex Scoble
No. And won't. - AJ Kohn
nope, not even in my mind :-) - Richard A.
AJ +1 - Holger Eilhard
45 adapter? At first I'm thinking "that little plastic piece you put inside old 45 records? That's weird." So then I thought maybe you were talking about a gun. So I googled it, and sure enough, it's that plastic piece, now made into jewelry, etc. Hey, I'm almost 50. Takes me awhile. :) - Dawn
yes, caduceus, lower back - William Harryman
I have 4 right now. The 1st on the back of my neck which is a splash of stars. 2nd-right shoulder-skull in a tribal vine in the shape of a heart 3rd-anchor with stars winding up it on left shoulderblade and my newest tat....an easy button for my tramp stamp - Michelle L. Jacques
