Ever just want to tear your hair out, or someone else's? If you cannot restore a sense of balance, you will run away from home? Just want to say some things without the constraints of staying on topic? Well, this thread is for you! If you just need a short break to let it all hang out, be a brat, then come on, you can do it. No holding back! Go for it, you can do it.
As we age, some of us get ornery. Should I try something like this: ????
"I am the age of consent".
Or,
"I am the age of my dog.
In dog years.
Just before she died"
(That was bad, wasn't it?)
OR,
"My mil and I are the same age, Lol!" (not true).
OR,
"Same age as you if you weren't' t lying about your age" Lol.
.
That's all I've got.
Becky, I am sure Clinton aged, and you did not. How old is he now, Lol.
Some women lie about their age and always have.
This year will be a milestone, so I think that I will start early. Lying, I mean.
Conflicted because someone may notice my son would be only ten years younger?
People in public used to ask if I was his wife, poor son, was he conflicted!
OR, I could add a decade, people might say: "My, you look so young for your age."
OR, they might even say: "Act your age".
Vanity, all this is vanity. Never bothered me before, but I could start taking better care of myself.
Thank you so much for the snow!
.
Looking forward to the Krispy Cremes, never had those, hold the sprinkles who knows what they make them from (probably ground glass.)
Please send the snow via drone, just plop it in the driveway thanks so much!
Will be sending you the Krispy Cremes, do you want sprinkles with that?
SUE,
The summers must be cool inside?
Hope the Viking enjoys her baked yam Msmadge. I'd rather have one of Send's Krispy Cremes
Since Mexican houses don't have heaters, I'm sitting here in my down coat typing this!
The houses here are made from cinderblock so they 'hold the cold'. We have a large open space (35'x13') for kitchen, dining room and living room, so impossible for a space heater. Plus the cost of electricity is very high here (comparatively).
I have an electric blanket but no one else does. I don't know why they haven't "caught on". It's my only saving grace during the night.
Still counting the days (1,408) until retirement and moving to a warmer climate. Brrrr.
No snow, but it has snowed a tiny bit once or twice over my lifetime.
There were no people, no swans either.
The Yam is perfectly nutritious and sweet for the Viking MsMadge.
Did you see any snow out your window ?
It was in the 30s last night - crispy by SoCal standards
And, we also have Krispy Creme donuts.
If you miss viewing the swans (that would be so fun),
There will be people at the donut shop, and you won't be alone.
It is sunny, but too crispy cold for anyone to be out there.
It is very cold right now, woke me up at 4:00 a.m., but I will
go look out the window now and get back to you.
Just staying up again will be bratty enough for me.
It is all up to you brats, carry on, in your landmines if you have to!
Really? I WROTE: "carry on in your jammies if you have to."
There is a computer gremlin on here, I am sure! The words to replace what I really typed are unbelievable! Should I have my head checked, or my kindle? Hubs just fixed this last night!
Well, I guess if one is awake at 3:00 a.m., might as well be laughing!
Still laughing.
Did the snacks taste good?
Nothing like nurses now.
That day is also known as National Atheist' s Day.
This year, Easter Sunday also falls on April 1st.
That is enough social interaction for today.
Our dresses were always colored with a starched white apron. Black stockings and lace up shoes (at least four lace holes)
A white cap that came from the laundry flat and in the begining it took ages to figure out how to put it together.
Hear had to be short enough not to touch the collar or braided.
Don't know what a syringe chopper is our syringes and needles were rinsed out and boiled up ready for the next day.
latex gloves if only we had those. We did everything with our bare hands, think applying gentian violet or damp dusting with a smelly disinfectant.
meals were served from a food trolley that came from the kitchen with huge pans of food that sister doled out. No choice if you want to eat you'd better like it.
yes we had the glass IV sets and mercury filled glass thermometers
Our bedpans were stainless steel and ice cold. The men got glass urinals. The junior nurse did bedpan rounds with a trolley loaded with the bedpans covered with a cloth with a red cross stitched to it.
Visitors were limited to one hour in the evening and an extra hour on Sat and Sun afternoons.
Flowers were removed every night..
All food and drinks had to be carried on a tray and cups must have saucers.
No make up or jewelry on duty and nail polish was removed on sight.
Our wards were in a cruciform shape with a colume in the center. There were open coal fires on three sides and the drug cupboard on the fourth.
Well I won't go on as things are very different now nursing has become a college course just like the US and the equipment has greatly improved too.
Lol. CM!
She should have written on the back of it - "FOLD HERE. INSERT YOU KNOW WHERE."
