Actually she makes more than that. She just doesn’t get enough clients.
Maybe she should move to NYC.
Any show that has entire groups of people hanging out together in junion high, high school, college and into the work place.
Yes, Facts of Life and Boy Meets World, I’m talkling about you. Mr. Feeney was obviously stalking the children, going from elementary school teacher to high school principal.
To COLLEGE PROFESSOR! That there’s some quality stalkin’…not to mention that either Mr. Feeney was seriously overqualified for elementary school teaching or seriously underqualified for college teaching.
So does firing them and hiring new ones almost every week.
How did Sarah Palin get to be governor of the largest state in the Union?
That glorious thing we have, Democracy.
My RMT makes $85 an hour currently. However, there is no way in hell that she can work for eight hours, her hands simply wear out because she specializes in deep tissue work. She has a maximum number of clients she can see in a day, spread out so she has time to rest her hands between appointments.
I’m an avid rock climber. The number one thing that ends your climbing day in an indoor facility is tired hands. My max is about three to four hours. After that, I can barely hold the steering wheel to drive and then the next day can barely hold a pencil. So she really takes care of her hands in order to be able to see a steady stream of clients.
Not to turn this into a star trek nitpicking thread (because I know we’re not all into that) but in the Worf injury episode it was made clear that there was little knowledge of the kind of injuries that Worf had sustained because the patient would simply be left to die by other Klingons. Hence why no-one (including Worf or Klingon doctors) knew about the nervous system redundancy.
Whilst that might sound a bit of a stretch, it’s completely consistent with how the Klingons were represented as a race. What I personally can’t get my head around is how such a backward culture would have ever have become spacefaring or technologically advanced enough be a threat to the Federation (“Science? There is no honour in that!”).
Phil Farrand, who wrote the Nitpicker’s Guides, mentions this in the entry for the episode where the scientists from different species are working on a new warp drive or something and someone starts assassinating them. There’s a Klingon scientist in the group and Phil writes something about how utterly ostracized this Klingon scientist must feel in a civilization where even the elderly nannies can take out seasoned Klingon warriors (see “Sins of the Father” TNG).
There is a barbarian human subrace in a couple of the Ship Who series that are very violent, techs are slaves and they are so uber healthy they barely have doctors at all, mostly they set broken bones and remove bullets sort of care. The warriors are expected to get well, die or commit suicide [a major plot issue hinges around trying to get the passel of them invading the station sick] so their techs are all slaves and not allowed to be warriors, and their planet blew up so they are nomadic in space ships. [they are the way they are apparently because they were dumped on a very nasty planet as a penal colony]
In real life, that guy would wake up in the back of a car surrounded by 3 dead hookers or interns, a kilo of blow, and a forkload of cooked baby flesh in his mouth.
On the Washington Mall at 5pm.
No way we’d allow any one person to stand in the way of something like that. He’d go away.
Bottom line is that the TV Show Universe is NOT our Universe.
That didn’t strike me as a stretch at all. Back in the TOS episode “Friday’s Child,” Kirk is debating a Klingon captain in front of an alien counsel; the two sides are trying to persuade the natives to allow them to mine dilithium. Kirk touts all the virtues of Federation affiliation, including education and access to better medical care. His counterpart responds that the natives already know how to fight, and that the Klingons can give them better weapons–and that the sick should die.
I seriously doubt Klingon health care at that time consisted of much more than deciding whether to set a broken leg or kill the patient. It’s easy for me to believe that knowledge of how to treat Klingons medically is decades behind treating humans and Vulcans.
Comedies set in medival times always irk me because they take too many liberties with modern references, like that recent 'burning blade" on comedy central.
I also hate the run of the mill 30 minute sitcoms (Everybody loves/hates Jim/Raymond/Chris etc.) because the timing is so forced and horrible.
The CSI series is also tough to swallow sometimes, because they do 2 homicides per show. It seems like Las Vegas is a hellhole where your odds of getting murdered are about the same as losing in a casino. Getting killed while losing at a casino seems like a regular occurrence too.
Lost.
The biggest problem I had was in the very first episode, where their plane is destroyed, nobody knows when the hell they’re going to be rescued, and Sawyer angrily crumples up his last pack of cigarettes and throws them down on the sand in disgust over something or other.
Uh…as an ex-smoker, I’d be wrapping them in a waterproof bag, and would probably be running into the burning wreckage to look for more packs in baggage.
I’m cool with everything else on the show, though. 
I can’t for the life me figure out how the vast majority of the world in the Angel and Buffy universe doesn’t know about vampires, demons, magic, etc…
Now, I know the shows (especially Angel) did establish that a lot more people then you would think know about the demon world, but it’s still not the majorty like it should be. Considering that on Buffy the mayor of Sunnydale turned into a 100’ long snake demond in front of hundreds of people, some of whom must have been videotaping it, yet by season 4 no one as Sunnydale University knows anything about it. Hell, by season 7 the whole town decides to up and leave because they all knew something was “going down.”
In *Angel, he routinely fights vampires and demons in the middle of the street. In season 3, there’s a scene where two or three dozen demonds, bikers, and wizards are breaking into their hotel that has a large magical sheild over it. Very noticeable. Later in the season a large portal is opened up in the middle of a park, again, very noticeable.
Though in the comics that are essentially Buffy Season 8 and Angel Season 6:
The whole world does seem to know. All of LA goes to a Hell dimension for a few months and everyone remembers, and in Buffy, Hamrony gets her on TV show and everyone knows she’s a vamp and she gets most of the world to hate Slayers.
And how did he get to be a college professor? He was taking an undergrad course with Eric, cut the Dean off when she tried to ask him a question during the middle of a presentation him and Eric were giving, and that made her decide he’d be a better instructor than a student. Of course he also started sleeping with her. 
If Klingons were medically decades behind humans, right now, it still would be barely acceptable for them not to know this.
But for Klingons to be decades behind Humans or Vulcans, 300 years from now, they should still know everything about Klingon anatomy, if only to know how to most efficiently kill one and other.
No show in particular, and there’s not so much of it on now, but it used to irk me when the star would bitch and moan and go through agonies when her rich, upper class WASP mother, dressed in a suit and pearls, would come to visit/pry discreetly into the star’s life. “MUH-ther, PLEASE!” “But Dear, I’m only concerned for your welfare! Let’s go out shopping and have lunch at Neiman Marcus!” WTF did our poor WASPY star have to bitch about, anyway? I would have killed for a mom like that. (Of course the irate heroine was a big fat Daddy’s Little Princess - DADDY got all the luv from Little Pumpkin, Mummy was just an irritant.)
Ditto that. Big guy (along the waist) here with gorgeous and fit wife.
Exactly, not to mention that Worf was part of a human family, attended Starfleet Academy, and served aboard a Federation star ship without any human doctor using one of those high-tech medical scanners they have and saying “WTF is that? An auxiliary nervous system? Better putting something about it in his medical record, just in case it’s important.” And presumably they scan him pretty intensely after the accident, before deciding to clone a new spine. And in all those centuries of Klingons abandoning wounded Klingons to die, did any of them notice one suddenly stop being dead, the way Worf did?
Now I’m sure if a fan of the series worked hard enough he could explain all that or just wave it away as a mystery (as “The Next Generation” writers seemed fond of doing), but I wasn’t a fan, so I didn’t. And that was the point of my first post. If you really like something, you’ll explain away or forgive the flaws and gaps. If you don’t, you won’t.
Granted I haven’t seen too many episodes, but I’ve always been amazed at how inept the normal detectives must be on Cold Case. I mean, come on, if that blond woman her cohorts can come in and solve a case per week sometimes 60 years after the fact, the detectives during that first go-round must have missed some pretty obvious clues.
