I hope that's not Callos a la madrileña in the background? That was a truly horrible dish.

What is it with this town and their standing ovations? In the last year, I've seen 20+ pieces of theatre, and every single one received a standing ovation. Every. Single. One. It becomes meaningless, at a certain point.
- Brent Schaus
from iPhone
It's not just that town. Just as the word "awesome" has been used so much that it is not longer a "big gun" word, the standing ovation is given out pretty easily these days.
- Spidra Webster
I haven't seen any theatre outside of Victoria in more than a year, so I wonder how universal it is. I know there was a kerfuffle in Vancouver not too long ago. An actress chastised an audience member during the curtain call for NOT giving her a standing ovation.
- Brent Schaus
from iPhone
I can't speak for theater, but I've seen SOs handed out liberally at musical performances. It's hard to resist the peer pressure to rise if you're an audience member who thought it was good but not GREAT.
- Spidra Webster
Seems to be good form for a standing O these days.
- Eric - seven eleven
I'm quite happy to go against the grain on this one. I haven't given one out in town, yet. I look forward to doing it, though.

I realize that this is an extremely loaded and potentially volatile question. In hoping we can keep it friendly. Do you feel that as a society/community we have a responsibility to take care if one another?

My definition of taking care of one another: access to food, shelter, health care and education.
- Mary Carmen

I think we do. Growing up as poor as we did, I am so thankful that people helped me and my family out as much as they did.
- Rochelle's favorite Royce
I do. (I also believe that we should hold people accountable for being productive citizens, and I often have a hard time reconciling the two.)
- ωαřмaiden ❤Marrit Woman❤
MC, do you mean us here on FF taking care of other FFers, or Americans taking care of all Americans in need?
- Stephen Mack #TeamMomo
I mean the greater society. Beyond FF.
- Mary Carmen
from iPhone
yes. in my mind, that's what community does.
- jambina
yes. Its what creates the community. Otherwise its a bunch of people doing their own thing.
- Me
Yep
- Rodfather
Yes, but then, I was raised in a family that strongly follows the idea that what we do (occupationally) and how we live should be in service to others/the greater good.
- Katy S
Yes.
- Headless Gnad Kicker
This is how I feel about it: "The moral test of government is how it treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children; those who are in the twilight of life, the aged; and those in the shadows of life, the sick, the needy and the handicapped." --Hubert Humphrey (http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki...)
- Stephen Mack #TeamMomo
I look at what societies actually do / have done, and the answer is yes they do. To everyone? Equally? Without prejudice or a cast/hereditary system? Mostly No, no, and no through history. But history's not over.
- Micah
I do and don't - I think we craft our social contracts to reflect what we feel that we want and need. I want to be a part of a society that does care for its own, and people feel responsibility to help one another, and am willing to make sacrifices of myself to ensure that this is what happens. I think you can have societies where that is not as important that functions as intended, just not ones that I want to be a part of.
- Jennifer Dittrich
I'm thinking these thoughts as I read and watch reports of illness, mental illness, poverty, lack of education, etc. and I just can't help but feel like as a country this is such an embarrassment. We can do better. We should do better. It just makes me sad and frustrated.
- Mary Carmen
from iPhone
We have to get beyond ourselves. Tough thing to do. Work, rest, sleep, work, rest, sleep.
- Rochelle's favorite Royce
I believe that society has a responsibility to provide a minimum standard of living that satisfies the needs you enumerated. I also believe that members of that society have an obligation to provide what productivity they can. It is in that way that I reconcile the two prerogatives to which Warmaiden seemed to be alluding.
- Bren
from iPhone
Reminds me of a story a while back about how people in India will help each other out to get on an extremely overcrowded train. Everyone is inconvenienced but it takes some empathy to know that your fellow commuter may lose their job if they don't get on the train.
- Rodfather
Simple answer: yes. (and I'm a conservative. ;) ) But I feel that if we take care of the weakest and most in need, we make ourselves stronger overall.
- Running Slow
Yes. And if a selfish reason is needed: a healthy, educated work force is good for the economy (and that's all of us).
- Betsy #TeamMonique
I don't think the question of "should we" is problematic; but the question of "how should we" is about as tricky as can be.
- LibrarianOnTheLoose
from BuddyFeed
yes. especially in small, rural communities. we stockpile food. we share what we have. we go help our neighbors. we give rides & bring stuff back from town. we teach what we know. we barter good. we give & don't look back. larger cities? not so much. I think there it's too easy to slip into a patter of avoiding those in need & keeping it to your family only. that's my experience having lived in rural New Mexico, then Southern California, and now rural Idaho.
- Jezmynne Dene
from BuddyFeed
Yes
- bob
Yes, of course! To stand by and watch someone suffer is a fracture of the soul.
- Janet:#TeamMonique

- joey
I haven't read the rest of the responses but, yes.

Yes, and I think Just a Librarian has nailed it. Most humans *should* respond to this with some form of "yes". How to get there, though, is something that, despite good intentions, will be more difficult.

- Steven Perez
I watched a program on Wisconsin Public Television last week that focused on rural life in Wisconsin, particularly in the early 20th century. Since there were no quick-response public resources for medical emergencies, fire emergencies, etc. in rural areas, the farm families helped each other in an emergency or crisis. When 'party-line' phone service became available, the convention was...

Yes, yes, one thousand times, yes. The Humphrey quote someone shared earlier is spot on in terms of my own personal philosophy. I always remind myself that life is fragile, and while someone else might be in need today, I could be the one in need tomorrow.
- Laura Krier
To add to my already lengthy comment above, (verbose JKRAM is verbose!) I'm all for 'faith-based' charities and other private forms of support and assistance, but I think it is also very important that there be a public support system to be a safety net for those who don't have ready access to private/religious organizations offering assistance. Those who are in most desperate straits...

Assuming he gets through the worst of this, it could be a blessing in disguise. A friend - and the temple choir director/asst cantor - has had her hands full with 88-yo mom who fell and fractured her skull, has made a near-complete recovery except for massive self-pity. This will give the mom a project and my father a friend, if they get along.

Thanks, Bob, my hope too. Sure, no cancer/infection is a good thing (though this doc is really open and everything from the length of my femur to my kneecap is irreparably damaged and he told me and showed me on my MRIs), I want to get to the bottom of this. As I'm sure anyone could imagine, constant pain impacts everything from how I am at work to my life at home.

Wait. I thought we knew not cancer. So no infection either? That's also good. No exclamation point because you're still hurting.

Pinched nerve in my lumbar spine, doing lovely things to my leg, which we knew about, and screwing up not just my lower back, but everything up to the left side of my neck. Consult with a spine surgeon Monday after next and I plan to push hard for non-surgical treatment first. For lots of reasons, 6 weeks of recovery from surgery would be challenging for me.
- teleken
Have you thought about chiropractic and/or acupuncture? Chiro, in my view, is surgery. Just without the knives, and more slowly accomplished. Hence it doesn't ruin your life. I've also seen it doo things it's not supposed to be able to do.
- Mary B: #TeamMonique
I've also known of acupuncture doing similar things. http://www.acupuncturedr.com/index... the reason this guy stopped doing plastic surgery was that he was in a life-threatening car crash that completely incapacitated him. Acupuncture brought him back to the point where he could have done surgery again, but he preferred to do this - and, frankly, I don't think he'd still be doing surgery at 85ish. He's a little younger than my father. I've known him all my life.
- Mary B: #TeamMonique
I have had acupuncture for back pain. Although I believed in it for other things, I was skeptical of it's value for back pain, but it did really help.
- Laura Norvig

My view now is, you may be getting to the end of what the conventional guys can do for you. It's great to find an md like Marcy who swings both ways, but that doesn't make the method any less valid if you go to someone else. (it may make the insurance pay easier.) The point is find folks who can help you.
- Mary B: #TeamMonique
Go figure, leg isn't as bad today, but that same level of pain decided to move to my back. If I were a horse, I would have been glue and dog food by now.
Frustration :o/
- Headless Gnad Kicker
Very much so, Melly. This is the worst I've been in the two years since all this started. I honestly wasn't in this much pain pre-surgery last year, and as honestly, it's never been to this degree.
- teleken
sorry to hear that you're still ailing
- bob
not familiar with Vicodin - they gave me Tramal to help with the pain associated with a crushed vertebrae - it's been almost a year now. I had to get up & go to work every day, & you have to walk the line between pain & zombie, although I did notice that no one came up and pinned a gold star on me for enduring pain.
- bob
I don't expect that either, Bob, not in the environment I'm in. I'll say that at the department level (90 people or so) they've stepped up to where they're able. I show up and I do much more than is required of me, and they return the favor by giving me some leash. A meds change may be in the works, depending on how quickly they can diagnostically narrow down what's going on.
- teleken
from BuddyFeed
A bonus is that my supervisor has been through a plethora of medical stuff himself and still is dealing with a lot of it. Empathy goes a long way. No gold stars, but understanding helps.
- teleken
Ken, I used to take Vicodin 2-3x a day and had no problem with it. I tolerated it well, and couldn't take enough of it to even think about getting a buzz on it. YMMV with ANY drugs, especially opiates. You don't say why you don't like the Vicodin; if it's not doing the job then tell the doc to prescribe something else. In my experience (not just opinion) if you're prescribed the CORRECT level of meds you should not have a problem with addiction. Just be aware they are for pain and not anything else.
- Bubba da Troll
I'm trying to remember the name of the painkiller I took for a few days post-caesarean. It was awesome. Knocked out the pain with no side effects.

Catching up - feeling the frustration. Also wishing you healing. There are some kickass NSAIDs they might want to experiment with for your pain and inflammation, but I wonder with your stomach. Still, they might be worth a shot - ask about Mobic and ketorolac.
