Let's see if you can guess it.
Okay. Go.
I like to utilize the automatic can opener.
Patients should utilize a doula more often in the hospital.
Utilize me for APA help.
I'm utilizing the bathroom at the moment.
How do you utilize the words affect and effect?
I'm going to utilize the online portion of this book.
I don't know, it's just a word. But for some reason it annoys me. I'll live though. You could utilize the word use and it make just as much sense if not less confusing.
"Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use (utilize) you." Luke 6:28

Pet Peeve #4
People who say things like, "Well, I turned out okay, so why not keep doing it."
Example one: They could be referring to their parents making them use cry it out sleeping method. Thinking that since their parents let them cry it out, it is fine for their kids. No. Not good. Here is proof.
Example two: The thinking that, "well I got all of my vaccinations, and I turned out okay, why not give them to my children." A picture is worth a thousand words. (My basic point when it comes to vaccinating your children is to do your own research. If you look into it for yourself, and not listen to other church ladies or grandma or even the doctor [who gets paid to vaccinate your child], you can make an informed decision for yourself and your child.)
Why would you want your child to turn out OKAY? It's fine for a movie you just saw to be OKAY. Or it's fine for cookies you made to be OKAY. But your child? Really? When I have children, I want them to be outstanding, excellent, and intelligent, not just okay.
Example three: Even the idea of, "this is how it was, 40 years ago, when I went to nursing school, so this is what we're going to do now", is silly. Nursing changes, so education needs to change as well. Strive for excellence, not okay-ness.
Example four: Even thinking, "we've always made pork chops with Shake 'n Bake, even though it's not my favorite, because it's okay", is lame.
I think my point is I don't think we should just keep doing things the same way forever. If they aren't working, change. If there is new research, change. If there are better recipes, change.
I don't want to live an okay live, I want to look back on my 100 years of life and think, I'm happy with what I did and who I became. Because we only have one life to live, make it SHINE!!!

Pet Peeve #3
People who say "enjoy the spring weather" in February.
It's February. It's still winter.
Just because you feel the need to walk around in flip-flops and not wear a coat does not mean it spring.
The fact that it is 60.5 degrees out does not make it spring.
If it were Spring, everyone would be giving away free kittens. There would be beautiful pink and purple flowers everywhere. The air would smell of hotdogs and be laced with allergens. There would be bird poo on the sidewalk where snow was shoveled only weeks earlier. And we would be anticipating finals week.
But no, sadly, it is still winter. This is a trick. Don't get your hopes up. It will be 33 degrees again soon enough. And for goodness sake, put your coat in the car and carry it around with you. Obviously the weather is unpredictable.
"While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease." Genesis 8:22

Pet Peeve #2
Taking out the trash.
I really, really, really dislike taking out the trash.
It's not fun.
It's dirty.
And it's cold outside.
KWoww, as I am now referring to her, doesn't like to take the trash out either.
We need a guy to come over about QOD and take it out for us.
"Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ." Philippians 3:8

Pet Peeve #1
People who hold other people's babies while they are sick.
If you are sick, STAY HOME!!!
Nobody wants your germs.
Nobody wants your cold.
Don't touch, hold, or even ask to hold other people babies/kids when you are sick/sneezing/coughing/nauseous.
Don't shake people's hands either. That's gross.
If you must, for some odd reason, go out when you are sick, warn people. Look sick, so people can avoid you (like the plague).
Oh, and wash your hands frequently.
"Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed." 1 Peter 2:24
