Re: Medusa's Question Du Jour *the millenium edition!*

When was the last time you apologized and didn't mean it?

On Friday, to a customer at work, because it was a formality thing and apparently we I to kiss our customers' asses even when something isn't my fault.

Oh yeah...

For me, it's the parent of a clearly disturbed kid who can't see it. I end up apologizing for the problems their kid causes.

Same.

I also apologize for others [their behaviors, in particular] now and again. Basically, in an attempt assuage any real damage, emotionally, they may have caused. But the apology always feels empty, to me, because my own behavior wasn't the issue. Throw a liberal amount of self-deprecation on it, and the fact that I just don't DO guilt, and there I am, taking as much blame as I can, away from the real disaster.

About a half hour ago: "I do apologize, sir, but we don't have wi-fi at all on our property."

Dude, if wi-fi was so frikkin' important to you why didn't you call ahead & ask?

Colloidal silver is a natural antibiotic /antiviral/antifungal available at your local health food store (and it WILL NOT turn you blue unless you make it yourself and add copper, so don't do that. In fact, it's easy to properly make at home, just google). Honey is a natural antibiotic (buy locally grown, if you can), as is garlic (available in capsules if you don't want garlic breath) and olive leaf extract (available in the health food store or herbal store). All of these are effective, easy to use, and relatively cheap compared to a doctor's visit.

Hi,
The use and efficacy of silver in treatments and medicines is the topic of a lot of study at the moment as a lot of the previously accepted benefits are now being questioned.
use of any silver treatment commercial or home made can cause the
grey /blue discoloration. I've seen topical dressings leave patients with discoloration. Oral use of silver is not supportted by the FDA as silver has been shown to have no proven clinical benefit , but had been shown to build up in the liver.
It also interferes with the action of a number of antibiotics.

Its a pity really as I liked havig silver as part of my retro arsenal for treating fits , at least the leaches and maggots still work though

I've taken colloidal silver pretty much every day for about eight years, so has the wife, neither of us are (nor ever have been) blue. We also don't get the flu or colds. One of our cats urinated blood for a couple days, another had a runny eye, a little silver in their water, each cleared up next day. The FDA doesn't like it cuz there's no big money in it for Big Pharmaceuticals, cuz ya can't patent an element. BTW, we make our own. The stuff available in the health-food stores might be 10ppm, stuff we make is closer to 1000ppm.

Nope. Just checked the mirror, still not blue...

Awrsome
I think oral use of silver is still a fringe thing over here in the UK.
The tissue discolouration issue is a tricky one, studies have not so far been able to show a unified mechanism explaining how it occurs. There are so many variables with some patients requiring greater amounts than others.

Topical dressings are getting a good looat though, it used to be gold standard to use silver four some wounds but recent studied now question so.e of those results.

apologise For the stupid shit my co-workers do all of the time.... "they did not give me good directions!" im sorry, "they ignored me and talked on their cell phone" im sorry, "I went the wrong way and got lost in the tiny ass hospital" im sorry.... I think it's a reflex now....

Turmeric should go on your list too, I use a mix of turmeric and honey topically, and generously add turmeric to food (it works topically and internally.) Its also nice and safe for animals, which I know Medusa isn't.... She may be an angry kitty tho....

Re: Medusa's Question Du Jour *the millenium edition!*

As so many before me have said, I gave a false apology at work. I don't care how many times you tell me our policy is stupid, that other places do the exact, and terribly silly thing you want to do and that you're 'never coming back' (hmm, come to think of it, I've never seen you -before- so never seeing after isn't a surprise to me) I'm not putting my job on the line to placate you over your incredibly large purchase of $3. But I'll smile and say "I know it's silly, but I can't. I'm sorry."

Nothing comes to mind. I don't work with the public so if I say sorry, I mean it because I probably did something dickish. If I don't feel apologetic, you're not getting an apology.

Oh I thought of one!

having no idea what you are talking about when you try to correct someone elses job! That drives me up and around the bend, I WILL activate the uber snark for that, I will start subtly insulting you to your face, don't be surprised if I find a way to show others how moronic you really are... like telling me that room 203 is a patient room. Maybe you should learn that patient rooms are on floors 4-7 if you friggin WORK HERE!
Also there are more, but obvious ignorance seems to be the most efficient...
