On Nurse called out of surgery and laid off
Posted on April 14 at 8:40 a.m. ( Suggest removal )
Ofcourse the layoffs were about money, what business is in business not to make money. What Dean did with the layoffs was be proactive. UW may not be laying off people now, but will they need to later in the year? Probably. People arent going to go see thier drs due to copays and coinsurance. We all have been there. Where can we make cuts in expenses? That is the insurance part, not the medical clinics. Drs will see patients no matter if they have insurance or not. It will be interesting when the end of 2009 rolls around to see what medical organizations out there will be doing layoffs because they are over thier budget. Actually, being proactive is taking responsibility and being wise.

mickie...
Did i say to go in to detail about intercourse? Alot of things can be talked about with sex, even at a 3 yr olds level. Theres no golden age to start talking with your children. Open the lines of communication up as early as you can. Talk talk talk...

I just cant believe the excuses being made for Stefanie. I hold her more responsible for what Norbert did. She encouraged him to hit her own flesh and blood. That is just crazy a mother would use another person as a physical threat to her kid. Either way, whats done is done...he hit her and is responsible for it, but Stef....she dont deserve to be a part of that kids life. How can you make excuses for her? She was supposed to be raising and protecting your child! She chose to have that child, she can screw men in 15 years. Alaina should be her number 1 responsibility now. She allowed this to happen by staying with this man. They were living together, Alaina isnt a freakin puppy that 1 can pick up and drag to a new home with new people. No offense, but we are talking about a 3 yr olds thinking.
A child at the age of 3 can not tell the difference between reality and fantasy. A toddler wakes up in the middle of the night from a nightmare. They cant comprehend it was only a dream, not real. You had any monsters under your kids beds? How real was that? To them...very! Dora is on tv everyday and talks directly to them....they want to invite Dora to thier birthday party! Dont talk to me about not having kids, i have a 17 yr old. My daughter seen me get abused. And from the age of 7 to now i have had her in for random counseling. What a kid tells you, especially at 3, i highly believe its not all the truth. She watches tv right? I bet she seen some good physical fights on tv. Is she repeating what she once seen and turning into her life now? As a child ages, it will come out in her unconcious what happened, thru dreams, drawings and behavior. And she will get pretty damn messed up if she isnt allowed to address the situation with a professional. This will effect her for the rest of her life. I suggest you get her in counseling immediately! She is too young to talk about this with you, especially if you are bad mouthing Norbert. If you bad mouth him, she will only repeat and add to the fire! I dont know why you would even bring the subject up to her myself, but whatever, to each his own. Suggestion, you want conversation with your daugther, start talking about sex, drugs and teen pregnancy. Its never too early.

Honestly Mike, your child is 3 yrs old. Do you really think she can tell the difference from reality and what she may have heard? She is 3. You arent the only person that has had a kid at 3. At 3 they think the easter bunny is real. Dora and Big Bird are real to them. Something to think about, the mom lied to the police in the beginning because she may have feared Norberts. Suppose Aliana may not be telling the whole truth regarding her mom because she fears her mom?? Her mom is supposed to be her protector. Did mom ever threaten her prior to the coming out of abuse? I bet she did!! This is a 3 yr old, they repeat what the hear, they leave parts of stories out, and sometimes add parts that dont belong.
One more thing, why wouldnt the police care about a 3 yr old being beaten? They are police. They became police because they want to help people, especially innocent children. Would a 3 yr old whose injury is comparable to being dropped off a 2 story building really be a credible witness? Im not sure police even are the ones that decide what to charge a person with? Wouldnt that be the DAs job? I could be wrong, i really dont know.
Honestly, if it was me in this situation, the mom should be blamed just as much if not more for Norberts actions. She is the childs mom, it was her job to protect her. She made the choice to date this guy and bring him into her home. She failed at protecting her child. She had a choice, she could have left him. No she chose to stay. Everyone has choices, and every choice has a consequence. Mom is just as much guilty as her boyfriend. You really need to see that and quit making excuses for her.
I have been in an abusive relationship. But the day my abuser laid his hands on our child, was the last day i spent with him. That is just wrong and selfish for anyone to allow thier child to get mixed in with thier bad personal choices.

Thanks e_tailgrl. We are in another bad spell. She quit taking her meds again, so yea, life is just fabulous. I hate dealing with this, she feels bad....this is horrible. Glad to see others are knowledgable on the kids and teens with bipolar. Good luck to you and your son. Luck is about all we can hope for on this old road!

Not all kids are the same, and unfortunately some are actually bipolar. Just because with your child it was suggested to be ADHD, and you didnt follow up with it and he turned out ok, doesnt mean nothing. That is 1 kid. Every kid and every situation is different. What worked for your child, might not work for the next. And most parents....try everything before throwing meds down thier kids throats! Not all,i know that....but most.
My kid is infact bipolar. Diagnosed at 10, after her dad blew his brains out. He obviously was too, undiagnosed or treated. 3 yrs of lots of ups and downs until i got a diagnosis. Look up childhood bipolar, its different then regular bipolar. My child went from failing school, put on meds and became an honor student. Guess the meds worked for her didnt they. Does it appear she is "drugged" if she excelled?
I agree there are people pushing meds on kids that dont need it, but some actually do improve with meds.
That bipolar with kids and teens, what a terrible illness.

Dont think this will end with a smoking ban. If the government gets thier way to a smoke free Wisconsin, what do you suppose is next? It will not stop there....
Maybe next thing they want to take away will be something you dont agree with. What will be after that?

On Wisconsin hard liquor tax proposed
Posted on October 12 at 6:53 p.m. ( Suggest removal )
People really didnt see this coming? The cigarette tax was the beginning....its not going to end there. Soda will be next, then potato chips and dips, candy bars, fast foods...it will go on and on. And they will pass the higher taxes, because enough people have already been crapped on and will support the next idea.
Now i can sit back and support every stupid thing that want to tax. And listen to people whine about how unfair it is because its hit home to them finally. I believe this is what they call karma.
