Last night was one of those nights where it was slightly too cool for the a/c but a little too warm at times without. So all night long the blanket goes on, the blanket comes off, on, off, on, off.

I get very annoyed when people type "HIPPA" to refer to the federal law on healthcare privacy & security. It's HIPAA.
If it were just random laypeople on C-D or social media, I'd be less annoyed, but I work in healthcare and see my colleagues type it all the time. I'm bothered by this on almost a daily basis.

Could it be that maybe it's to help you afford the boat? I know that my boat (with the rubber band wind up propeller) only works in a kiddy pool. Now, if only the dollar store carried kiddy pools ...

My husband has an obsession--with used jetskis. Today he bought another one, bringing the new total to five. Since he has a boat in the garage, there's no place to store the jetskis.

YES. I don't know why it drives me so bonkers since I don't work in healthcare, but I also find it ridiculously annoying. Don't you want to ask them why they don't know the correct usage? Do they not pay attention at all or what? Ooh, I have my undies in a bundle now. I might need some medical intervention.

So a few weeks ago my coworker ordered some shoes and had him delivered at work. He showed us his shoes and I commented and said they look a bit old for him (he is early 20s, they look like something my dad would wear!).

Now he keeps showing me shoes he is thinking about buying to figure out if they look young enough!

Because they've only ever heard it pronounced, Hippa. They know is is an acronym, so they probably capitalize it. But they hear hippa, so they type HIPPA.

I forgot I had "everything" bagels and instead ate a blueberry bagel this morning. I like the "everything" bagels better... because, ya know, they have everything.
