I don't know of anyone here who uses the "Thanks" button. Seems rather useless to me. Maybe it could be replaced with a +1 or some such button.
How would you know if people are using the thanks button, unless they thank you? It sends a private message to the person.

Yup... Not knowing my way around the forum, I accidently came across a place which had 2 thanks for posts I'd made.. I thought, "hmmm..how would I'd have known if not by accident?" :O)

There is a menu item called "User CP" in the blue bar at the top of the page.

Thank you Andy... That's how I found the "Thanks" messages.. I spent a bit of time clicking on everything in "User CP"... I've always been of the opinion that directions should be read AFTER a messup...

If all else fails, read the directions. Right, Ross? 
That's how we roll in our house.
That's how we roll in our house.I use it often, but not as a just a "click". Since a "compose" line opens when you click "Thanks", I use it as a quick way to send a few words to that member instead of going into Personal Messages and write something lengthy. If the receiver wants to continue a conversation, they then send a reply to me. If they don't, that's fine. Sometimes a quicky thought doesn't need to be posted as an in-thread comment and clutter it up.

I think I stopped reading directions when I was 20 and knew it all....

Drink plenty of water before a blood draw. This will make sure you are well hydrated and get fewer pokes trying to find a vein that will give.

Thanks for the reminder. I have an appointment Monday and I just know Dracula is going to want his due. I am so bad when it comes to water. For me it is coffee, coffee, coffee.

If my memory serves me correctly.The coffee jolt hasn't really kicked in yet.
Anyways RE: the Thanks button.It was implemented years ago after a member here Timothy requested it.He has since passed away.
People were all for it at the time.
Personally the +1's can drive me crazy.It gets to be too repetitive.
I'm not a Fake book fan, never will be.

Remember, for every cup of coffee, you have to drink 1 and 1/2 cups of water to replace fluids that are lost. Coffee has a diuretic effect.
I like it when my patients drink plenty of water, means I don't have to go looking and drilling for a gusher. 3 pokes, no joy and I am out, someone else has to do the draw, by then the patient and I have lost confidence in my ability to do a blood draw. Patients need to do their part and be well hydrated so the healthcare worker can do their job efficiently and effectively.

I always need to face away with my eyes closed when having my blood drawn.

Yes, thanks. I'm sure you come across patients who can't stand the sight of needles and blood.That's okay...I'm the one that has to know what I am doing...
Quite often. Usually they are too busy laughing at my sad jokes and stories to notice I've poked them and am done.
Oh, I hate doing the hands...that hurts. I know from experience, too many nurses go for the hands before other less painful options.
