We pee the same yellow, poop > the same brown, and bleed the same red. Agreed. My preference isn't based on bias, but on observations & experiences. The odds seem to be higher for more person-focused care from female staff. & never had one of those try to slyly cop a feel while transferring me! > GP> I prefer/accept any who actually look at me when talking to me. > That shows they're interested in your care.

That one got me laughing vocally, too. . . > GP> So wth are we supposed to call them?! > Ventriloquial figures is the technical term, but it's easier to call > them "dummies". Yet, ventriloquism is not as easy as it looks. I don't speak technical lamnguaghe if I'm not in the profession. I use colloquial terms & dummy or puppet seem fair play to me. . . Puppet is ambiguous, but "ventriloquist's dummy" is very clear & on point. Most of the more famous/popular ventriloquists seem to speak of them asd friends or family, but that's as much or more for the show of it, as how they think of them, I'm sure. . .
