BTDT Moms - Newborn Advice!

What is your best tip for a new mom on staying sane with a newborn?
I wouldn't have survived those early days with a newborn without taking a shower every morning and getting dressed. Not only did it wake me up to start the day, but it also made me feel a bit more human.

One thing that helped a ton after I had James was to have a "baby box" that I kept with me throughout the day. It had a water bottle, some snacks like granola bars or fruit bars, pacifier, pump, my "milkies", my nipple cream, my lilypadz (the little times I wasn't wearing them) . . . my cell phone, my camera. Basically anything I would want/need at an arms length while nursing and/or holding the baby when it wasn't convenient to get up. Anywhere I went with the baby I brought my box and whether I was in bed or on the couch or whatever, everything I needed was right there. I highly recommend this!!! Especially when DH goes back to work and/or on the days when you don't have someone basically feeding you and watering you constantly it's almost impossible to eat and drink enough when you are exclusively nursing. Prepare to be STARVING and PARCHED for most of the day and refill the box with lots of goodies every time the baby naps or gives you a free few minutes!

And yeah, I agree that everyone has different ages/stages that they enjoy and/or DO NOT ENJOY the most and some of it is you and some of it is the unique baby you are blessed with.
For me I LOVED the first few months--I had an easy baby and even though it was tough with the nursing/food allergies at first, he slept often and easy, including a 4-6 hour stretch overnight from the beginning, hardly cried, and was very content to be held, be in his swing, or do anything at all I wanted to do. I LOVED that age!
Meanwhile he was/is also an AWFUL AWFUL teether--he was/is fussy and in pain almost 24/7 from 6 months until now (nearly 21 months) with occasional breaks of a month or two. I have to have motrin and tylenol as part of his diet basically, which was very stressful with such a tiny baby especially . . . he would literally spike fevers constantly from teething and it would affect every aspect of his sleep/eating/behavior.
He was also an early and fast crawler that was immediately into everything in our (at the time) very messsy and cluttered house--all this translated into me ABSOLUTELY HATING the 6-12 month period. But then things improved (a lot of it due to me finally babyproofing our house, him eating more food and being less dependent on me, starting to walk so that I simply had to hold his hand instead of carry him everywhere) and as he gets older now I'm loving it more and more. I REALLY love the 18 mos-3 age group but the fact that he is STILL TEETHING affects how much I love it. But we're one canine away from a break, and then I only have to survive the 2 year old molars and I'm DONE!!! I will have a party.
So I think a lot of it is the personality of your kid, of you, of your situation/circumstances at the time. But long story short, it's normal/okay/totally expected that you have overwhelming moments where you need to put the crying baby down and walk away and/or go cry yourself in another room or outside for awhile. It doesn't make you a bad Mom--it just makes you a normal Mom.

I also love the 1-2 age. THREE is HARD!
|Thu, 07-26-2012 - 9:52am
I will say that Peter was an easy baby. I just prefer the interaction of an older baby/toddler.
|Thu, 07-26-2012 - 11:49am
I just love being able to "do stuff" with him and really interact with him and that just isn't possible with a baby

Drink TONS of water. I mean TONS. Your skin will clear up faster. Your body will start working better.
It's ok to insulate and isolate for a while. You don't have share your baby with the world just because you happened to give birth. If you just want to sit in your living room and stare at your baby, do! They literally change before your eyes.
I agree what many PP have said. Not every stage is awesome. And just remember that it isn't always the same stage with each kid. DS was colicky. DD was a miserable sleeper. Who knows what my newest will pull out!!
There is no perfect way to parent. Just find what works and improve where you can if you feel the need. Like others have said - get your filter ready. Smile and say "I'm so glad that you gave me that advice. I'll keep it in mind for when I need it."

Agreed!!! If you are nursing the BASIC MINIMUM requirement is a GALLON per day (baby drinks 24-30 ozs plus normal 64 oz rec per day). It is very hard to drink a gallon per day when you are nursing and trying to take care of a new baby, but it makes a world of difference in how you feel/think/operate. One good tip is to sit down with a big glass when-ever you nurse and try to finish it by the time the baby is done nursing. A lot of time the letdown reflex will make you thirsty anyway--it is giving you the signal to drink water for a reason!

Ron Paul opens new 'testing the waters' account in preparation for Presidential exploratory committeeSubmitted by sailingaway on Fri, 04/15/2011 - 08:38
"Ron Paul quietly took another step toward a presidential run recently, creating a so-called "testing the waters" account that allows him to start raising money toward a White House bid and could eventually become his official campaign account, a Paul aide confirmed to POLITICO.
The Texas congressman is expected to announce whether he will again run for the Republican nomination sometime early next month — and recent moves are the strongest signs yet that the libertarian icon will indeed launch another bid. Jesse Benton, director of Paul's LibertyPAC, told POLITICO that the new account was opened in anticipation of creating a formal presidential committee. The small step toward a bid is the same kind taken recently by Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum, but it stops short of an official exploratory committee filed with the FEC."

One step closer! But...
We must realize that Dr. Paul is up against something no other potential presidential candidate in 2012 (at least on the horizon now) has to deal with: his age and his wife's health.
His wife nearly died in 2008 and I'm sure he is watching out for her well-being very closely this time around.
So timing is very important as to his decision.
Although he appears to be sharp and in good health, he would be 77 when he takes office if he were to win the presidency.
I hope with all my heart he runs, but I know the stress it will place on him and his family and I will truly respect any decison he makes.
About all we can do for now is pray for his great health and for the inspiration to make the best decision for him and his wife - and contribute to his PAC.
While WE know his decision to run would absolutely be the best decision for this country, sadly most of the people are simply too uninformed or misguided to realize this.
But what a fun ride it will be and another great chance for him to be involved in the discussion.
And who knows, there is always that chance you might actually win as Dr. Paul says.
"We have allowed our nation to be over-taxed, over-regulated, and overrun by bureaucrats. The founders would be ashamed of us for what we are putting up with."
-Ron Paul
Ron's son Robert
Did anyone see where Ron's son, Robert, is mulling a congressional run?
"Men are ruled, at this minute, by the clock, by liars who refuse them news, and by fools who cannot govern."
-G.K. Chesterton
Change the date.
I am not crazy about the date, either the 19th or the 20th for obvious or not so obvious reasons.
I concede that the 19th has some merit being the shot heard round the world date. There are plenty of drawbacks for both dates as well.
I prefer April 22. On this date the father of the American Navy, Captain John Paul leads raid on England. Most people know him as John Paul Jones because of his famous "I have not yet begun to fight" quote as it appeared his beleaguered ship would sink. He of course turned the battle back and in fact captured his British adversary.
What say you all.
Ron Paul 2012
I have not yet begun to fight!
thats great! The best slogan
thats great! The best slogan I came up with was: Ron Paul 2012: Keep the CHANGE!
I remember when Dr. Paul set a record 'Money Bomb' and
58,000 people contributed in a 24 hr. period. It was awesome to watch the money fly in. It was a great display of love for the Champion of the Constitution.
I hope and pray that we can repeat this feat many more times.
The event is in the hands of God.
This makes me happy
Very happy!

A moneybomb is ready and

SILVER BOMB for Dr. Paul
...tell Jesse to arrange for such an avenue where we can send 1 ounce Silver Rounds...and we can watch not only Dr. Paul's popularity rise as people start to "get it" while the dollar crashes...we can also watch the VALUE of this "fund" increase in value exponentially!!!
He will be the ONLY one with a commodities-based fund raising effort, this will make NATIONAL headlines again as did his single-day internet fund-raising effort from his last run; that will shine light on EVERYTHING he has been saying about our fraudulent monetary system, the Fed's worthless recommendations, and our parent government's hell-bent path of using our military all over the world to prop up the dollar that is backed only by what they can STEAL from us when there are no job to be had, and no realistic way to increase tax revenues...ALL of this is wiping out the Middle Class as we speak; and Dr. Paul is the ONLY candidate with the right message!
an IDEA is born...I got the first 2 ounces - whose with me!!!
SILVER BOMB for Dr. Paul...let's do it!!!
SILVER BOMB for Ron Paul...
This needs to happen...I'm in.
...What about GOLD?
The media would be saying something like:
"...even financial donations of Gold and Silver have gone to his 2012 Presidential Campaign!"
What a loud, bold statement THAT would make to the world.

I honestly will be surprised if Ron runs.
And I would expect his numbers to be very similar to last election. It does not matter how many times he's right on economic issues because people vote based on self-interest and people typically cannot synthesize and personalize economic issues due to their amorphousness.
I think that is a Negative record their buddy.
Congratulations...and Thanks for the laugh!

He has to run
As the economic news continues to worsen, Ron Paul's policies will make a lot more sense to people. Lets all pray that his health remains sound.
We are in agreement
that the more perilous the condition of the economy, the greater Ron's "credibility" to the general public. He takes on the discomfiting guise of prophet. IF all comes to pass as it has been foretold, I guarantee other candidates will attempt to spin their positions as logical answers to the reality at the time. It never fails.
It will be fun to watch
I can't wait to see Ron Paul debate Romney and the rest of those numbskulls.
I get a headache just
I get a headache just thinking about the spin.
Pass the baton to Rand
I agree with you. I think he might win a few more votes, but it probably won't be enough. I think Rand has a much better chance. If Rand runs and loses this election, he will be a front runner in the next when the country is really desperate. Ron will probably not try again in 2016, so it is best to let Rand educate the public this election and become the front runner in 2016 as Rand's name recognition will be high.
Let me be the first to say....
Hopefully Ron will announce before May 5
to assure a larger intake of money .... if RP says he is running before May ... it will catch fire online and the grassroots will need to go to work.
My Birthday is May 5
I know what I will now be asking for my birthday. The best gift for me would be to donate to RP2012.

Dáil Éireann - Volume 447 - 24 January, 1995
Death of Former Members: Expressions of Sympathy.
The Taoiseach John Bruton
[1491] The Taoiseach: Thank you, a Cheann Comhairle, for giving me the opportunity to express sympathy on behalf of the Government to the families of three former Members of the House who died during the Christmas recess. The late Phil Burton, a former Fine Gael TD for the old constituencies of Cork North East and Mid-Cork, was a Member of the House from 1961 until 1973 and of the Seanad from 1973 until 1977 when he retired from public life. He joined Cumann na nGael in 1932 and addressed his first public meeting in Tyllylease in the company of the late Dan Vaughan TD. In 1942 he was elected a member of Cork County Council and served as chairman of that body on five separate occasions. He served his community with honour, dedication and ability. From my recollection he was a man who only spoke in this House or elsewhere when he had something to say. He was a man of deep personal conviction which was often hidden by a somewhat gruff exterior. His loss will be felt deeply by his wife and family, his friends and his native county of Cork. On behalf of the Government and the Fine Gael Party, I wish to convey to his wife Eileen, his sons and daughters and to his brother Dan our sincere sympathy on their loss.
Former Deputy Stevie Coughlan was a colourful and, at times, controversial Member of this House. He was sometimes described as the stormy petrel of Irish politics. He joined the newly formed Clann na Pobhlachta in 1947 and was an unsuccessful candidate in the general elections of 1954 and 1957. He joined the Labour Party in 1960 and served as a Member of the Dáil from 1961 until 1977. He served twice as Mayor of Limerick, first in 1950 and again in 1969, and he served on the city council there for 30 years. He was also well known in private business as a bookmaker and he was, for a time, the owner of a licensed premises. Anybody who had the pleasure of seeing, as I did [1492] on both occasions that it was shown, the television documentary on Stevie Coughlan's life will have a sense of what a great character he was. What struck me most forcibly — and it was something that struck me also during his time in this House when he was a backbencher in a Government of which I was a member — was that for him, neither party, Government nor popularity came before his commitment to the city of Limerick. He stood for whatever he believed was in the interests of his city and its citizens. On behalf of the Government and my party I wish to offer to his wife Peggy, his sons, daughters and his sisters our sincere sympathy.
Finally, it falls to me to say some words about another Member of this House who has passed away, a man whom I counted among my close friends in political life, although he served on a different side of the House from me, the former Deputy, Phil Brady, who served in this House for 26 years. Indeed, he was elected at an age that many might consider to be an appropriate age for retiring from this House. Notwithstanding that he continued to serve for a full and productive 26 year term as a Member of this House up to the year 1977. He was a former Lord Mayor of the City of Dublin. As Members know, he qualified as a pharmacist in 1917 and his business premises at Kelly's Corner on the South Circular Road is a landmark in Dublin. I suppose that is why he chose that particular location and why his business was so successful. He had a very good sense of positioning in politics and a sense of being in the right place at the right time. He lived a remarkably long life, a life that was very fulfilled and all those who attended his funeral will have a sense not just of the sadness but also of the pleasure that many could draw from recalling such a full life. Indeed, in a recent interview, he referred to his earliest recollections of political matters and it is interesting that the first political event he was able to [1493] recall in his life was the controversy surrounding the Boer War, and that is a while ago. What struck me most forcibly about him was his outstanding courtesy, a courtesy which he passed on to all his sons and daughters and, in particular, to his son Gerard who served as a Deputy and a Minister in this House. On behalf of my party and the House I extend sympathy to the Brady family and indeed to the Fianna Fáil Party on its loss as well as to the Labour Party on the loss of Stevie Coughlan. We have lost three good friends of this House and of parliamentary democracy.
Mr. B. Ahern Mr. B. Ahern
Mr. B. Ahern: It is always a matter of great sadness when former Members of the House pass away. Today, as the Taoiseach stated, we mourn the passing of three former Members, Philip Brady, Philip Burton and Stephen Coughlan. Phil Brady lived to the ripe old age of 102. As the Taoiseach outlined, that allowed him to play an active part in his career both as a successful businessman in this city and his great involvement in the medical and pharmaceutical industry. In 1993, his friends and colleagues celebrated his 100th birthday and those who were present on that occasion will remember that he gave a strong speech on how we should all perform in politics and business for the next 100 years.
Phil Brady was a Deputy for Dublin South East for 26 years, from 1951 to 1977, when he was succeeded by his son, Gerard, with whom Members will be familiar. The late Mr. Brady also carried on that great business which is notorious throughout the city. He was well known in his professional life throughout the country. We will be eternally grateful for the significant role he played as a public representative and as a member of the party of which I am now leader. He had a special interest in the health service and was committed to its development throughout this city.
It is difficult when somebody has reached the age of 102 to put his life in perspective at various junctures. By way of trying to put Philip Brady's life in [1494] sequence, we recall that, for example, he was Lord Mayor of Dublin in 1959-60 and played a prominent role at that time. Deputy Brian Lenihan, a good colleague and longstanding member of this party, recounted recently that when he entered the Seanad 38 years ago there was a tradition in the party that an older Member took the newly elected Member around the premises and that, in his case, Philip Brady, at the age of 65, was the one to show him the ropes. I extend our sympathy to the family of the late Deputy Brady.
Philip Burton, a farmer by profession, was a founder member of Fine Gael, Chairman of Cork County Council, Member of the Seanad and Deputy for Cork for 12 years from 1961 to 1973. Again we wish to extend out sympathy to his wife, Eileen, and his family.
Although I did not know Stephen Coughlan, I knew a good deal about him from documents, programmes and debates. Born in 1910, he was twice Mayor of Limerick and was also a Deputy from 1961 to 1973. He was colourful and controversial to say the least and someone who, if one had an interest in politics, one would want to read about to know what made him tick. To his wife Peggy and his family we extend our sympathy.
I pay tribute to the memory of all three of our former colleagues. They sought to represent their constituents to the best of their ability and worked for the national welfare according to their lights. May they rest in peace.
Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs (Mr. Spring) Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs (Mr. Spring)
Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs (Mr. Spring): On behalf of the Parliamentary Labour Party I rise to pay our respect and tributes to the three late Deputies, Philip Brady, Philip Burton and Stephen Coughlan. I happen to have known all three Deputies to varying degrees. In regard to Philip Brady what one will always remember is his outstanding courtesy irrespective of what was happening in the House. He was a frequent visitor to this House in his retirement and he always had time [1495] to stop for a conversation. He was a gentleman of outstanding qualities and made a remarkable contribution to this House and to the Fianna Fáil Party. I extend my sympathy to the Fianna Fáil Party and to the Brady family, many of whom I know well.
Deputy Philip Burton was a farmer from Cork who represented his constituency very effectively in both Dáil and Seanad. He was of a quiet disposition but he worked assiduously and fought to protect the interests of his constituents, whatever the issue.
I had the opportunity of knowing Deputy Coughlan better than I knew Deputies Brady or Burton. As has been said, he was a colourful character, controversial both within and without the Labour Party. Indeed, it is fair to say that on occasion there was not exactly a coincidence of interest between the priorities of Deputy Coughlan and those of the Labour Party. Deputy Coughlan's priorities were well understood by my own predecessor in Kerry North. Indeed there were many occasions when they formed alliances within the party. I suspect the Ceann Comhairle is smiling because he has a good memory of such things.
As the Leader of the Opposition, Deputy Ahern, has said, all three former Members made outstanding contributions to this House and to their respective constituencies. In Deputy Coughlan's case Limerick came first and last. Our sympathy goes to the Brady, Burton and Coughlan families. We will miss the former Members and will not forget the contribution they made to Irish political life.
Miss Harney Miss Harney
Miss Harney: I, too, would like to join with the Taoiseach, the Tánaiste and the Leader of Fianna Fáil in extending my sympathy and that of the Progressive Democrats to the families of the three late Deputies. The only one of them I knew was the late Deputy Brady and I concur with everything that has been said about him. He was a courteous [1496] man, always in good humour, always very friendly. Only four or five months ago I saw him in Leinster House. He was a frequent visitor here, always enjoying his visit and meeting some of his former colleagues. I attended his funeral at which representatives from every party in this House were present in large numbers, and that was the greatest tribute that could be paid to a former colleague. Mr. Brady was fortunate to enjoy such a long and healthy life.
I extend my sympathy to his family and, in particular, to his son Gerard who is also a former colleague of ours. By any standards 26 years of service is an outstanding record.
I did not know Deputy Stephen Coughlan but as one who used visit this House as a student between 1973 and 1977, I got to know a good deal about him. I enjoyed very much the television documentary of his life. It was a fitting tribute to a man of great character who went about his task with a sense of mission but also with a sense of fun and determination. To his wife Peggy, to his family and to the Labour Party I should like to extend my sympathy.
Neither did I know Deputy Burton who served in the Dáil for 12 years and in the Seanad for four years — again, a very long record. To his party, Fine Gael, to his wife, Eileen, and his children I extend my sympathy and that of the Progressive Democrats.
Minister for Social Welfare (Proinsias De Rossa) Proinsias De Rossa
Minister for Social Welfare (Proinsias De Rossa): On behalf of Democratic Left I would like to convey the sympathy of my party to the relatives, friends and party colleagues of the three former Deputies who have died. I did not know any of the three personally but it is clear from what has been said about them that they made a considerable contribution to Irish public life. Like other Deputies, I knew some of them by repute and it is clear that, though having different perspectives and being on different sides of the political fence, all three served in politics [1497] out of conviction and for what they believed would be right for the people. I offer my sympathy to the families and friends of the three former Members.
Members rose.

Angels of God Clothing Closet was started by young Katelyn in June 2009. The doors of the clothing closet were opened to those in need November 2009. Angels of God provides clothing and more to those in need at no cost. When Angels started, we had no idea it would grow into the mission it has. Many of the local agencies and shelters refer clients to us.
Angles of God Clothing Closet is set up in a storefront located at 334 South Broadway Pitman, NJ 08071. It is set up just like a store. Clothing is hung on racks and shelves by gender and size. Clients that would like help need to have a referral letter from social services, principal, pastor, caseworker ect. Once they have a referral letter the client calls Angles of God for an appointment were they will fill out a registration form and are introduced to the clothing closet. We do not charge for any of the items in the clothing closet. The items that are donated to us are given away for free to those in need. We will have a yard sale fundraiser once a year where we ask the community for donations of unwanted items and open the doors of the clothing closet to the public. This helps us raise funds so we can continue to keep the doors of the clothing closet open and serve those in need.
Not only do we provide clothing. but we also provide toiletries, diapers and baby items. There is the "toy corner" were children can pick out a few favorite toys, books, ect. to take home. Throughout the year we hold different drives, such as our Back to School Drive where we fill backpack full of school supplies, our Christmas toy drive, Easter basket drive, Baby Bundles, Comfort and Joy drive where we collect new sleeping bags and stuffed animals and give them to children in local homeless shelters. Lastly, our "summer fun buckets"consists of a sand bucket filled with a beach towel and suntan lotion. We thank everyone that supports our yearly drives or donates your unwanted items to us so we can help those in need. Without your continued support Angels of God Clothing Closet would not be possible.
Together we can make a difference in our communities! Read about us in the "NEWS" HERE.

Remember that everthing you see is subject to HIPAA guidelines. Those standards of confidentiality are especially important in this realm. Do not discuss anything you see with anyone except your attending or supervisor ( not your spouse or roomate or best friend or even your therapist if you have one. Period.).
Aptius is a program designed by our team to supervise psychotherapy. It's like Skype but HIPAA compliant . You'll see that it includes numerous features designed specifically for supervision of psychotherapy.
Launch the program from your Medical Student computer desktop (blue-orange diamond icon).
Signing in and starting up (then read on below for next steps)
(If you are using the computer for the first time, you may need a wired connection in order to sign into the Samaritan system. After that, it should work wireless if you have a connection and you are on the proper wireless network.)
A) Observing ongoing sessions
1. Call Samaritan Mental Health, ask for the attending*
2. Sign-in
User: your username (for July/August only: med supervisor, all one word)

*Call 541 768 5235 , introduce yourself as the medical student at xxxx Clinic, and ask for the Attending Psychiatrist who's supervising residents doing psychotherapy.
On the Aptius homepage you'll see a tab marked Supervise Sessions. Go there. You'll see a list of active sessions you can observe.
The attending will give you the name of the patient(s) being seen so that you can look up the chart in the electronic medical record. Usually you'll want to dig backward to find the first visit by that resident, the Initial Evaluation, to get a sense of who this person is and what brought them to treatment. As you listen you can work back up through more recent visits.
You may ask the Attending if you are stuck or puzzled by something. Please be respectful of their time: they'll usually be working on something while listening to the resident. But they are also there to help with your education, so don't hesitate to ask questions where warranted (from "how do I do this?" to "why is the resident choosing that approach to the patient at this point?" ). Don't ask questions to try to impress the Attending. We're psychiatrists, remember?

NSIT - Not Safe In Taxis
BBC News - Oxford taxi conversations to be recorded, council rules
By April 2015 it will be mandatory for all of the city's 600 plus cabs to have cameras fitted to record passengers.
A council spokeswoman said the "video and audio would run all the time within the vehicle".
She added: "The risk of intrusion into private conversations has to be balanced against the interests of public safety, both of passengers and drivers."
There is a spot in Broad Street where a stake could be erected and the brushwood piled around for just his sort of case.

Seriously Sassy Homemade Candy
These recipes will make you rethink everything you thought you knew about classic candies. Surprise friends and family this holiday season with tasty alternatives to those sub-par sweets we always manage to spend money on. These candies might be time-intensive, but the results are well worth the extra effort. Their delicious appeal is explained in the words of their sweet creators, Liz Gutman and Jen King.

Sea Salt Caramels
"When we started Liddabit, our foundation was the candy bars. We never planned on doing a sea salt caramel. 'Its been done,' we said. 'We dont want to step on anyones toes,' we said. 'Boring,' we said. Well, one messed-up batch of Snacker caramel sprinkled with salt, and we changed our tune. The Sea Salt Caramel has since become our best seller, and we remain humble and quiet. (Our mouths are too full of this caramel to talk, anyway.)"

Bullying--The Other "B" Word
- 33
We used to think of unpleasant folks as boorish. Their behavior was irritating, but most of us either called them on their rudeness or let it roll off our backs. Lately people have started confusing surliness and poor manners with something far more harmful and perceiving themselves, unnecessarily, as victims.Not long ago if another nurse rolled her eyes when you gave report, cut you off while you were asking a question, or ignored you when said you needed help wasting a narcotic, she would have been called the b word that rhymes with itch, (hereafter referred to as witch in deference to the Terms of Service.)
Today she's more likely to be called another b wordbully.
Some propose that a bully is nothing more than a witch writ large, that the roles differ primarily by degree. If that were true, we might expect to see government bodies considering anti-witchiness legislation and mounting campaigns against crabby and crotchety behavior similar to the anti-bullying measures they're crafting now. Nip surliness in the bud so it never goes any further. Or so that line of thinking would suggest.
That line of thinking is wrong.
What makes bullying more than incivility on steroids?
Bullying frequently (though not always) involves an imbalance of power. An instructor over a student. A manager over an employee. A person who is physically stronger or who has greater resources over another who can't fight back without great risk or who can't fight back at all. Bullies frequently single out a vulnerable individual and communicate to bystanders that they, too, can come under fire if they choose to get involved.
Bullies have an agenda. They aren't just gruff or full of guff. They're out to get you. They make threats, implyingor telling you outrightthat your grade or your job or your safety is on the line. They make it known that they have it in for you, with or without a precipitating cause. Just the fact that you showed up might be reason enough. Even if they can cite a valid motive, their response is out of proportion. They don't just want to tease or embarrass you. They're after pure humiliation and fear.
Bullies are often relentless. There's no negotiating with someone who wants to keep you in their cross-hairs. You can't patch things up with a person who says your presence, or even your existence, is the problem.
By contrast, people who are simply rude and obnoxious aren't trying to extort something from you or get you fired or see that you flunk out of school. They may well outrank you and treat you unfairly at times, but that's because they handle their authority poorly, not because they intend to cause you harm.
The cantankerous can snit and snort and snarl like dogs, but they don't paint a target on your back and hound you till you fear for your personal or professional safety. They might ruin your lunch break but they aren't out to take you down. The grumpy rarely have a grudge against just one person, while the bully's focus is narrowed to an individual or a small group.
Another person's witchiness can hurt. A lot. But discomfort isn't damage. And much as we might like to deny our own feet of clay, most of us will admit to having a few witchy moments (days) ourselves. I don't think we'd say the same about bullying.
Confusing rudeness with bullying creates an atmosphere in which the recipients feel far more victimized than the situation deserves. They think, Oh, no! I'm being bullied! rather than, Who peed on her cornflakes? This mindset can generate fear when irritation is more appropriate and can actually invite further bad behavior.
Loutish classmates or co-workers are just asking for others to stand up to them, refuse to be cowed by their snarkiness, and set some limits (not always wise with a bully). The whole group can benefit when the ill-tempered are called on their bad behavior. But if you convince yourself that you're dealing with a bully when you're not, you'll probably back away and start feeling oppressed.
Some of this misunderstanding can be traced to a lack of security and confidence in people who are more used to dealing with praise than with correction. Grouchy responses can feel like outright hostility if you are accustomed to a high level of affirmation and reassurance. Even simple, non-malicious disagreement can be perceived as bullying when the delivery is blunt.
Wouldn't we all be better off if everyone was kinder and gentler?
We might, but with political correctness already running amok, imagine the morass of legislation and litigation it would take to enforce a niceness mandate.
Genuine bullying is, unfortunately, a horrible reality in this world, and its solutions are fodder for many more articles. But, surely, the first step is to strip away distraction, oversimplification, and inaccurate claims. Referring to merely disagreeable behavior as bullying muddies the waters when the real thing comes along. If superiors get handed enough unwarranted complaints, if students and staff members have cried Bully! when what they really meant was, She's such a witch!the powers that be may not investigate fully or take true aggression seriously.
Adults need to learn the difference between someone who makes them feel bad and someone who poses a real threat to their well being.
Witchiness and bullying aren't the same thing. And the distinction is worth preserving.

May people want to go to the extreem when they #1 Don't like someone #2 Disagree with someone. There are many examples of this in society including witch vs bully. Extreem behavior whether antagonist or victim are good ways for the rest of society to ignore true attrocities.
Work it out or ignore it unless it is a true situation of "the writting is on the wall or on my back with concentric circles."3Oct 5, '11 by VivaLasViejas, ASN, RN GuideMiranda, as always..........you NAILED it!!! Well-written and extremely helpful in distinguishing true bullying from mere cattiness or unpleasant interpersonal relationships. I hope everyone reads this and learns something.5Oct 5, '11 by rn/writer GuideThanks, guys, for the input
I wrote this because I have seen so many "bully" complaints that were really reactions to someone's rudeness. We're all so Kumbyah and Kool-Aid these days that people have either forgotten, or were never taught in the first place, how to take care of themselves and their tender feelings, so a brusque exchange now rubs against them like sandpaper.
As soon as the new "B" word enters the picture, you have folks who freak. Most of the time a few lessons in snappy comebacks or zen calmness would take care of things. But without that, and without the ability to distinguish between a witchy co-worker and a bully, things can get ugly fast.
Let me just add that this article is directed toward adults. Kids have a whole different dynamic that I don't even want to approach. But grown-ups need to learn how to take care of themselves in the school and work worlds without feeling persecuted when some curmudgeon gives them a hard time.Last edit by rn/writer on Feb 19, '125Oct 5, '11 by Ruby Vee"confusing rudeness with bullying creates an atmosphere in which the recipients feel far more victimized than the situation deserves. they think, i'm being bullied! rather than, who peed on her cornflakes? this mindset can generate fear when irritation is more appropriate and can actually invite further bad behavior.

this is what i've been saying for years, but you've said it better.4Oct 5, '11 by Lilli RNAlthough I agree that children should be protected against bullying, we learn most of our survival lessons at a young age. I think the whole world has jumped on the bully bandwagon. As nurses we need to be assertive, but this can be easily misunderstood as bullying. I began in the old days when docs could say anything they wanted to and get away with it. The word bully never came up. We just thought that "maybe he had a bad day" or we would go home and kick the cat. Thank goodness those days are over; however, we continue to work in a high stress field and sometimes it is difficult to be "sticky sweet" all of the time.16Oct 5, '11 by RodoonGood article!
I've been surprised by the number of nurses reporting they went home and cried. Some of the problems you mention never seem to get mitigated by nurse managers. They don't seem to get involved and let the workers fight it out or however its handled these days. During my NM stint, I made it clear I was building a team and at any point if a patient complained of staff rudeness or a new employee did, I looked into it--and reported my findings to the accused. I also made it crystal clear what would not be tolerated and I watched for a return of the behavior. A second complaint and I separated them from their enablers and I moved them to shifts they didn't want.
Rude nurses and bullies aren't needed; I do understand personal problems an illness can change personality, but workers can't expect an entire group of people to be miserable for them. I'm not saying I ever changed the mind of a bully, but I know for a fact I created a worker friendly unit of professionals. Bullies controlled their behavior or they left. I had a waiting list for openings during a nursing shortage.
When I left management, I never worked for a NM that let workers stink up the staff cohesion. Life is just too short and stress takes it toll to put up with a toxic workplace.1Oct 5, '11 by palemoonGreat post! I actually thought that I was a bully for awhile too, because I had my moments, as we all do, and I thought bullies were just mean to people.
But looking back, I can definitely see the distinction. People have snappy moments. Bullies have a long-term goal in mind. Thanks again!

The following is from a Humboldt County Sheriff's Office press release:
On 11-02-2012 at about 1000 hours the Humboldt County Drug Task Force served a search warrant at a residence located in the 2600 block of Manzanita Avenue, Eureka. No one was at home when the search warrant was served.
Agents located a commercial marijuana growing operation in the garage, which is attached to the residence. Agents seized 267 growing marijuana plants that ranged in size from 3 foot to 4 foot in height. Agents seized $ 3,700 dollars in cash from inside of the residence.
When Agents were at the residence they noticed a possible electrical fire hazard with the indoor marijuana cultivation that was occurring in the garage. Agents contacted Humboldt County Building and Planning Department, who then responded to the scene. After inspecting the electrical wiring associated with the indoor marijuana growing operation, Humboldt County Building and Planning Department determined there was a possible fire hazard. Humboldt County Building and Planning Department then contacted PG&E to have the electrical power turned off to the residence.
In searching the residence Agents learned that Jennifer Brook Koopman age 38 lives in the residence along with her 7- year old daughter. Agents learned that Koopman was at work in Arcata. Agents then responded to Arcata and located Koopman at her place of work.
Koopman's 7-year old daughter was placed into custody of a local relative. Humboldt County Child Welfare Services was contacted and will investigate the living conditions of the child.
This case is still under investigation by the Humboldt County Drug Task Force.

Police: man arrested twice in one night, charged with DWI
GUILDERLAND - Police stopped an Altamont man for speeding twice in one night, and both times ended up with DWI charges.
Guilderland Police say they stopped David Kornfield for speeding on Route 20 on Saturday at 11:30 p.m. determining that he was intoxicated.
Authorities say Kornfield was found to have a blood alcohol content of .13%.
His passenger Lisa Mottolo of Altamont was found to be in possession of a small amount of Ecstacy, according to police.
Kornfied was charged with DWI and speeding.
Guilderland Police then say they pulled Kornfield over again at around 4:00 a.m. on Sunday in a different vehicle for speeding.
Kornfield was again arrested, accused of driving while intoxicated, speeding, and consumption of alcohol in a motor vehicle. This time, police say, he refused a chemical test.
He was arraigned and sent to the Albany County Jail on $2000 bail. Both Kornfield and Mottolo are due back in court in June.

Android 4.1 gets pushed out to the Motorola DROID 4 starting today
The update also adds enhancements to the notification screen which allows you to return calls, view pictures and video, and reply to email all directly from the notification itself. Voice Search will allow you to search the web using your voice, and speaks back to with answers to your questions. Also included with the update is the Smart Keyboard, which guesses the next word you are going to type before you type it. And with the update, voice typing can be done even while offline. The update also improves voice and data connectivity.
The Android 4.1 update for the Motorola DROID 4 will take 35-60 minutes and installing it will take another 15 to 20 minutes during which time no calls will be able to be made or received. Verizon does suggest that you have a full battery before attempting the download, which is software version 18.XT894.Verizon.en.US. The sad news is that this might be the last update for the phone, which started with Android 2.3 when launched.

I have no idea why you constantly bash Motorola for updates when they're much better than Sony. None of Sony's early 2012 devices are on Jelly Bean, a couple are even on Gingerbread.
If you're going to talk bad about a manufacturer for updates, let it be Sony. Motorola doesn't deserve it, because they've been a lot better than other manufacturers.

Logic: The art of thinking and reasoning in strict accordance with the limitations and incapacities of the human misunderstanding.Ambrose Bierce
The difference between science and the fuzzy subjects is that science requires reasoning while those other subjects merely require scholarship.Robert A. Heinlein
No passion so effectually robs the mond of all its poers of acting and reasoning as fear.Edmund Burke
Who reasons wisely is not therefore wise; His pride in reasoning, not in acting, liesAlexander Pope
Educate your children to self-control, to the habit of holding passion and prejudice and evil tendencies subject to an upright and reasoning will, and you have done much to abolish misery from their future lives and crimes from society.Daniel Webster
Languages are true analytical methods. Algebra, the means of expression which is the simplest, most exact and best adapted to its object, is both a language and an analytical method. In short, the art of reasoning can be reduced to a well-constructedAntoine Lavoisier
An unjust composition never fails to contain error and falsehood. Therefore an unjust connection of ideas is not derived from nature, but from the imperfect composition of man. Misconnection of ideas is the same as misjudging, and has no positive existence, being merely a creature of the imagination; but nature and truth are real and uniform; and the rational mind by reasoning, discerns the uniformity, and is thereby enabled to make a just composition of ideas, which will stand the test of truth. But the fantastical illuminations of the credulous and superstitious part of mankind, proceed from weakness, and as far as they take place in the world subvert the religion of REASON, NATURE and TRUTH.Ethan Allen
It is the mark of an educated man to look for precision in each class of things just so far as the nature of the subject admits; it is evidently equally foolish to accept probable reasoning from a mathematician and to demand from a rhetorician scientific proofs.Aristotle
The young have exalted notions, because they have not been humbled by life or learned its necessary limitations; moreover, their hopeful disposition makes them think themselves equal to great thingsand that means having exalted notions. They would always rather do noble deeds than useful ones: Their lives are regulated more by moral feeling than by reasoning.... All their mistakes are in the direction of doing things excessively and vehemently. They overdo everything; they love too much, hate too much, and the same with everything else.Aristotle
Evolution is not finished; reason is not the last word nor the reasoning animal the supreme figure of Nature. As man emerged out of the animal, so out of man the superman emerges.Sri Aurobindo
Von Neumann languages do not have useful properties for reasoning about programs. Axiomatic and denotational semantics are precise tools for describing and understanding conventional programs, but they only talk about them and cannot alter their ungainly properties. Unlike von Neumann languages, the language of ordinary algebra is suitable both for stating its laws and for transforming an equation into its solution, all within the "language."John Warner Backus
Don't you believe in flying saucers, they ask me? Don't you believe in telepathy? in ancient astronauts? in the Bermuda triangle? in life after death? No, I reply. No, no, no, no, and again no. One person recently, goaded into desperation by the litany of unrelieved negation, burst out "Don't you believe in anything?" "Yes", I said. "I believe in evidence. I believe in observation, measurement, and reasoning, confirmed by independent observers. I'll believe anything, no matter how wild and ridiculous, if there is evidence for it. The wilder and more ridiculous something is, however, the firmer and more solid the evidence will have to be."Isaac Asimov
How comes it to pass then, that we appear such Cowards in reasoning, and are so afraid to stand the Test of Ridicule?Anthony Ashley Cooper, 3rd Earl of Shaftesbury
Anyone who has had actual contact with the making of the inventions that built the radio art knows that these inventions have been the product of experiment and work based on physical reasoning, rather than on the mathematicians' calculations and formulae. Precisely the opposite impression is obtained from many of our present day text books and publications.Edwin Howard Armstrong
The fact-value distinction admits that values are essential to life and shape the way facts are seen and used. Therefore values are primary. And if they do not come from reason, then they come from passionate commitment, the essence of morality. Of course, since commitment did not really produce values, the values adopted were the remnants of old reasoning, values with fallen arches, reaffirmed by claims of passionate commitment.Allan David Bloom
Thales was the first man to have seen the cause of, and to predict, an eclipse of the sun. This means he figured out that the heavens move in regular ways that accord with mathematical reasoning. He was able to reason from visible effects to invisible causes and speculate about the intelligible order of nature as a whole. ... This moment contains many elements: satisfaction at having solved a problem; pleasure in using his faculties; fullness of pride, more complete than that of any conqueror, for he surveys and possesses all; certitude drawn from within himself, requiring no authorities; self-sufficiency, not depending, for the fulfillment of what is highest in himself, on other men or opinions or on accidents such as birth or election to power, on anything that can be taken from him; a happiness that has no admixture of illusion.Allan David Bloom
