Dental hygienist -- is that the most depressing job ?

Handling those tongue depressors day in and day out... that has to be depressing.

i see that laughter therapy is making you less
depressed. norman cousins wrote that book. it
was his idea of how to get well and stay well.
but what if you have cracked ribs? a real rib-tickler?
the most depressing job of all is that of
professional patient. the job of the person
who makes doctors and owners of nursing homes
and hospitals filthy rich. or the job of hypochondriac. the person who has to be taken
care of, all the time. like stephen hawkins,
a great mind. or people who long to be stars
in the special olympics, fully delusional thinking
that people ought to pay big money to see them play.
way more than the regular olympics or regular
sports. why yes,we''re lined up for miles
to see girls in wheelchairs play basketball.
that''s how it should be, don''t you think rush limbaugh, that''s how it oughta be. yeah, rush
we should all be just as full of bush as you.
and flush. why my pay toilet idea, made
me a multi-billionaire. includes taxes too.
would pay off the national debt.

"Fast food and low paying jobs are full of the George Bush supporting trailer park tribe. They should all be lured to the Jerry Springer show and killed."

LOL !!

If Jerry Springer were a liberal like that nice Oprah Winfrey, he wouldn"t be staging those ugly lowlife brawls.

He"d be offering Book Club recommendations like she does, and giving free cars to members of the audience.

And of course he"d be backing Barack Obama.

Louis Fieser.

"Napalm is any of a number of flammable liquids used in warfare, often jellied gasoline. Napalm is actually the thickener in such liquids, which when mixed with gasoline makes a sticky incendiary gel. Developed by the U.S. in World War II by a team of Harvard chemists led by Louis Fieser, its name is a combination of the names of its original ingredients, coprecipitated aluminum salts of naphthenic and palmitic acids. These were added to the flammable substance to cause it to gel."

RE: "What famous inventor or engineer was also a serial killer?"

Whoever it was who invented napalm.

"Workers who prepare and serve food - cooks, bartenders, waiters and waitresses - had the second highest rate of depression among full-time employees at 10.3 percent."

Remember this the next time you"re in a bar or restaurant.

Leave a decent tip.

Not some measely 15%. Go for 30%, 35%.

Put a smile on that poor waitress''s face.

There are key words in your post that kind of answer your question. The first is "young". The second is "think". Young kids don''t think of the future they think of the now. Maybe these girls are lonely and feel unloved and think that a baby will get the guy (dad) to like them more...or the baby will be cute and cuddly and love them (kind of like a little puppy). When they have the little baby...people will "ohhhh and ahhhh" over it therefore giving the mom attention. They have no clue that they are in for a lifetime job that will or should change their life forever.
