-They busted a huge drugmaking plant run by gangstas about five blocks away
-90% of our ER room business is from gang violence
-99% of our population is poor and minority
-We take more Medicaid than any hospital in the country
-My boss's office, which faces the front, has bulletproof glass windows
And finally, for my grand finale,
-One of my interpreters called off because her brother just got shot by a random bullet from some gangfight.
Ta-DAAAAAAAAAAAA!
I suppose I shouldn't buy that Coach bag I've been craving. My ***'ll get shivved.
Not to mention I can't afford it on this ******* public hospital pay.

If I were in London, I would've bought the bag.
As for the perils of love, it's more like an occupational hazard. I have to go where the population is, and they're not at the Ritz.

Coach for $600?
What a waste. You could almost get a Fendi spy bag for that.

Not a fan of the spy bag. My tastes tend to run from the ridiculously matronly to the totally unpractical and loud. I crave the coach bag because I havn't the lettuce for the Diorissimo Hobo.
Thumb, I am also hot on the heels of the Balenciaga Motorcycle bag. Lord knows all I need is an even bigger purse, but hot damn I could hurt somebody with that bag.

Holy cow, Flea. 
That sounds almost as bad as Liberty City here in Florida.
I've only been there twice to visit a friend...the fact that I heard gun fire and she didn't even flinch...and then tell me to ignore it was nuts, to say the least.
"Just the neighboors."

The day before yesterday a pregnant woman got shot. It's getting a little bit worse as the weather gets warmer.
On my way out of the building, friends of one of our recent traumas (gangbangers) fought security guards that tried to deny them entry.
I'm glad I took the long way back from my afternoon snack foray.
BTW, browsing Fendi bags I adore and will never be able to afford makes me feel better.

Sounds like the daily news around my neigborhood.
I am just begining to releax after a long day being with my middle child while she had to drive around her boyfriend's daugthers after going to the funeral of one of the their classmates.
The girl was hit by her own brother with a car. You couldn't drive a block near me without seeing someone who was coming home from the 3 hour funeral. Many wearing T-shirts with her picture on it. Seems to be the thing to do when a young person is killed here in the city.
For all you who don't want to sign up for a website, I'll paste intead of link news story from the BaltimoreSun.com site.

Teen arrested in crash that killed his sister
Originally published May 19, 2006
An accident in which a car struck and killed a 13-year-old girl in Southwest Baltimore was caused by the victim's 17-year-old brother, city police said yesterday.
Agent Donny Moses, a police spokesman, said the teen was driving a 1991 Ford Crown Victoria in an alley behind the 800 block of Allendale St. about 8 p.m. Wednesday when he apparently lost control and hit his sister and a friend who were standing next to a fence.
Police said the driver then swerved across the alley and crashed into a wooden fence. Witnesses saw the boy get out of the car and run away. He was arrested a short time later.
Police did not release the driver's name, and the investigation is continuing.
Kora Blunt was taken by ambulance to Maryland Shock Trauma Center, where she died at 8:45 p.m. from head trauma, police said.
Blunt's friend, a 13-year-old girl whom police declined to identify, was taken to Johns Hopkins Hospital, where she was treated for injuries to her head and right shoulder. She is expected to survive, police said.
Police said they had reports Wednesday night that the car had been stolen but said yesterday that those turned out to be false.

Man, and a '91 Crown Vic. Coulda killed an elephant with that, let alone a 13 year old girl.

It's about 50-50, actually, as far as the neighborhood, but I use the English term because I have no reason to assume anyone outside of Nobby or Exo is bilingual. If I had said it in Spanish, it would have been "Yo trabajo en el peor de los barrios," since there's no literal translation for what is pretty much an idiom, and the word barrio does not carry the same connotation in Spanish that it does in English.

Hell no. If I wanted that bag for Christmas, I'm the kind that would just say so. Anyone who has known me for any amount of time knows I can be almost painfully direct, and frankly, that's too much to spend on a purse for average joes like us. It is, however, but pretty to look at and I'd buy a decent knockoff if I came across it.

You know, it's odd. When I lived in Peru it was the heyday of the Shining Path, and we made sure to plan trips and outings around things like bombings (always on a Holiday) and likely kidnapping sites (never take a bus trip during the rainy season).
When I got here, it seemed like a freaking paradise of order and cleanliness. I still like to keep that experience alive, the feeling of thinking that I wouldn't ever have to worry about people storming into my home to carry off someone in my family, but the longer I live here, I can't help but see that institutionalized social conditions are the same no matter where. These kids don't even realize the opportunities they have, because they didn't come to my clean little apartment in the woods of VA. They came to a crime-ridden low-income area, and, even though they are better off, they don't have the memory of anything else, and are so self-destructive.
It's sad.

Save yourself 700 bones, FleaJo, and do like I did-- take a cruise to Ensenada with FleaJo, hit the market at the Bufadora, and get yourself a bag exactly like that one for $30. You save heaps of cash and get to go on a floating drunk-fest to boot.
It's what I did with the better half while you guys were all in Bahstan.
Seriously, my wife now has one just like it.

Like which one? A decent idea, but then I'd have to tack out the cost of the trip accross the country. I might go on some Spanish sites and see if I can score a cheaper bag, though. Thanks for the idea.
I have an image of Flea driving to work on a motorcycle with a custom paint job on the tank and a matching helmet saying "El Interpretor" with a baseball bat slung over her back.
Some people are like slinkies, they aren't really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.

Big bags make my giddy. My purse right now weighs around 6 pounds. I've been trying to find either a bowling or hobo bag that's simple enough that I can use everyday. No luck so far.Quote:

Not to mention Barrios is not an uncommon latin last name. Yo Claudia, err sorry, Claow-dee-a, Barrios, meet Joe 'Hood.
A new add-on to the list. Another employee's car got stolen today, right across the street. They don't want to pay parking fees for the garage. Let me add to this that CPD can suck it. They make you call a 311, which connects you to a local number, which connects you to a voicemail where you can leave a message to MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO FILE A REPORT. Fu[Aqua][/Aqua]ckers. Another interpreter loaned him her car, and I gave him permission to run to the station to file it in person.
By now I'm sure his car is in pieces and on its way to Guadalajara.
