Best Of Times

I had to work Thanksgiving, so celebrated on Friday.
Since I live up in the mountains, I invited friends to stay over so as not to have to drive back down the hill to the city after eating and partying, (with those chocolate mint chip martini's that I have mentioned here before). So ended up having a wonderful breakfast deal as well.
What a fabulous time. Being together with great people, and good food is simply the best of times. It was a big group and everything came together beautifully. The preparation, delivery and clean up was simply amazing in how it happened so smoothly. Real pro's.
Thanks everyone for your friendship and caring,
I love you all.

She's a really nice girl but....

It's funny how you can say terrible things about a person, but if you preface it with;
"I really like so and so but...."
or "so and so is really nice, but..."
or "poor thing she really needed alot of help but...." (I'm guilty here heh.)
Saying that little phrase with the slam seems to make it okay somehow, or does it?
I've noticed that some folks I've been around lately have really perfected this practice.
I've started pointing this out in this group and it's begun to be a pretty funny deal. I'm kind of happy how it all shook out.

Icing On The Cake...

Most know that I've been working alot, but that it's a good thing. Today really sucked the big one. It was the last of a long string of days in a row, and one of my patients ended up having a psychotic episode which ruined my whole day. Poor thing she really needed alot of help, but meanwhile she was incoherent, yelling non stop, and incontinent hurling poop all over, throwing her food etc etc. Enough said, it was a horrible fucking day. Then after transferring her to a better place for her to get the right treatment, a lockdown facility, we learn that she had lice. They called me up to bitch that I didn't tell them she had the lice. Hell I didn't know that she had them and immediately started scratching. I stayed an extra hour after the end of my shift changing out of my clothes and showering with kwell, not wanting to contaminate my car or house. The end to a perfect day, NOT! Well now I'm home and my hair is brittle after shampooing with the kwell, wonderful stuff, but at least I'm lice free. Just one more application in a week. Sigh.

Rumsfeld

While visiting the music sites on You Tube, I came across this one of Rummy that I thought pretty funny:

Smoke On The Water, Fire In The Sky...

While driving home the other day, I had been stuck behind all kinds of traffic, with alot of construction crap going on as well, my daughter always used to tell me, it happens, "just to piss you off".
Well, just as I got into the passing lane and out from all the construction, and about to really open it up, 'Smoke On The Water' came on the radio, one of my all time favorite tunes. Because of an earlier speeding ticket that I got from having the radio so loud I didn't hear the radar detector going off, (major fuck up), I slowed down so as not to worry about missing any radar, and to really enjoy the music.
Ahhhh, back to my roots, heh.
When I got home, I listened to several renditions looped of Machine Head

Deep Purple.......Music soothes the soul.......The Idea

What A Rectum!

“You know, education, if you make the most of it, if you study hard and you do your homework, and you make an effort to be smart, uh, you, you can do well. If you don’t, you get stuck in Iraq" John Kerry

Scrappleface: "Let me make this crystal clear, as crystal clear as I can make it; It's not the fault of the Iraqi's that your country has become purgatory for our bad students. I hope everyone, Sunni, Shia, and freedom-fighting insurgent alike will find it in their hearts to forgive me." John Kerry

I was shocked by Kerry's comments the other day. For him to not clarify his meaning immediately, if he indeed flubbed by not telling the joke right, is one thing. But to delay apologizing or at least address his comments, spoke volumes and seemed to be out of fear of his damaging the elections, not because he wanted to apologize to the Troops.
These days, you have to be very smart, with todays military everything is computerized and very high tech.
I am very proud of my son in the military, and to slam him and others in the service, how dare you. I certainly don't want you to be my son's Commander In Chief!
