Put a splash of malt vinegar on the sausage gravy and hash browns for Amanda because she’s a hater and a splash of balsamic vinegar on the egg for Paul.

I never said bad things about malt. 🧐
I'm the only one that dips chips in malt in my family!
 
That is awesome! We have two providers here that work under a doctor we never see I believe they are both either RNs or LPNs and several nurses but everyone loves each other and gets along wonderfully for the most part. 😆
That's how it should be! One big team
 
As much as I love them that’s why I have never gotten one. I know people keep chocolate chip starfish and chop off legs to feed them but that is not very nice.
They eat asterina starfish as well and if you have one asterina, you have hundreds!

Sorry I thought it was you yesterday that said your wife likes balsamic on her fries and you do to sometimes. Please forgive me, I’m old and you know, that whole public school thing.
 
I am the same way. They are beautiful but I couldn't do that to a starfish...
No need to, just get a few asterina, they will self propagate and feed the Harlequin
 
So wait... Little John is actually Middle John but goes by Big John and Middle John is actually Little John but goes by Aaron.

See, not confusing at all.
Nicely done sir!

balsamic? now that's just weird!
 
I am Registered Nurse at the Department of Veterans Affairs. I run a podiatry clinic. I am the only one at this location that is qualified to do it. My Podiatrist works in Battle Creek and I work under her license while I'm at this location. I am listed as a Provider, which makes the other RNs here kind of catty to me. I can pretty much do what I want with my Veterans within my scope of practice, which is wider than most since my Podiatrist has granted me certain "privileges" to do more in depth stuff... .if that makes sense.
Dang! I'm moving up there then. My general practitioner was just jumping my case for not have my diabetic foot exam lol
