This Whole Christmas Thing!

A woman was out Christmas shopping with her two children. After many hours of looking at row after row of toys and everything else imaginable, and after hours of hearing both her children asking for everything they saw on those many shelves, she finally made it to the elevator with her two kids. She was feeling what so many of us feel during the holiday season, overwhelming pressure to go to every party, every housewarming, taste all the holiday food and treats, get that perfect gift for every single person on our shopping list, make sure we don't forget anyone on our card list, and the pressure of making sure we respond to everyone who sent us a card.
Finally the elevator doors opened, and there was already a crowd in the elevator. She pushed her way in and dragged her two kids in with her and all the shopping bags. When the doors closed, she couldn't take it anymore and stated, "Whoever started this whole Christmas thing should be found, strung up, and shot." From the back, everyone heard a quiet, calm voice respond, "Don't worry. We already crucified him." For the rest of the trip down the elevator, it was so quiet you could have heard a pin drop.
Don't forget this year to keep the one who started this whole Christmas thing in your every thought, deed, purchase, and word. If we all did it, just think how different this whole world would be.

"Jesus" is the reason for the season!!!

Got this in a email and thought it was kindof good.

The air you Breath out declared a Dangerous Gas!

The EPA Czar will be declaring the air we breath out as a dangerous gas! Even after the Man Made Global Warming hoax was exposed they go ahead with their plan to tax the living daylights out of you for breathing.

I am going to make a new line of jewelry. Of course we are all going to have to wear biohazard signs. All dangerous gases and chemicals have to be labels according to another dictatorship type government program, OSHA. I can make brooches, necklaces, a medical alert tag? Of course our houses will all have to be posted as harboring dangerous C02 emitters. We are just soooooo bad and sooooooo evil. Shame, shame on us all. Anyway, place your orders here. A girl is going to have to make a living in this brave new world and since they seem hell bent on destroying the one I have now........

This new health care reform in the senate. The cut off for care is now 50. FIFTY! We are deemed not worthy of salvation. To close to that dreaded collecting on the money the government took out of our checks and promised to save for us. Yeah right. I have a bridge for sale also. And also in this bill. Automatic withdrawal from your checking account. Save you the trouble of dragging you old self down to the federal government office and paying by debit card. Isn't that just so thoughtful of them.

So anyway. Sarah Palin was here yesterday and made a great impression. She is completely different then she is portrayed in the media. She is nice, friendly, smart, everything the boughten media says shes not. Thanks for visiting Sarah and come back anytime.

Last, Obama is going to Copenhagen. Doesn't matter one bit what the population wants. Isn't it so nice he knows better then all of us silly people.

Last night

Why oh why do people come to the hospital and then refuse all of their treatments and refuse to let us help them. Then to top it off they are on the call light every 5 minutes or yelling at the top of their lungs for help, which they then refuse when your there. In the meantime your other patients can't sleep and you can't get in to check on them because you so busy with the one refusing you help but demanding your time.. AARRRGGGHHHH.

One more day, one more day. And while I am at it. With 20 some patients on the floor why do they give the nurse on a 10 pound lifting restriction the patients that has to be lifted to the commode every hour? And the patient is heavy. So now the nurse is sitting here with a throbbing shoulder waiting for the pain pill to kick in so she can sleep and do it all over again.

Poor Rick has thrown his back out and can barely walk. So we are tying to find something to make him feel better. And of course he is dropping everything on the floor. I told him from where he is pointing at the pain it might be a kidney stone and if it isn't better tomorrow its off to the doctors for him. Poor man.

Well, time for bed. I am done in. Sarah Palin is coming today to sign books but it is suppose to be thousands of people there and I told my oldest not to stand in such a long line to get it signed in this freezing cold weather.

Well, ta ta all.

More Snow

It was a lovely snow too. I looked out from the window of the hospital last night at the downtown lights, Christmas trees lit up with the snow gently falling in big fat flakes, it was very pretty and I wished I had my camera.

It was a good night at work last night . I had some great patients but out of the 4 only 2 spoke English, made for a quiet night. With Spanish I can say some basic words but I am clueless how to even say hello in Vietnamese or Chinese. German, once again I can say a few words, Greek, nope, only latin and only medical terms. So it is always a challenge. Especially since my one patient kept chattering away at me when I was in the room. Hope she wasn't cheerfully telling me she was having terrible chest pain and felt short of breath. Anyway if we have to I have a handy translator telephone which can get me the answers right away. The wonders of technology.

Yesterday our son called and his furnace was broken. Of course it was, it was freezing out.

I am still getting by on my duck taped furnace and I tell you. I know 3 people who have replaced their furnaces in the last 4 years. Each and every one of them have had to have it repaired every winter. Whats up with that? At least with my furnace it is 38 years old, I can understand it breaking down, but new ones. Pieces of crap it appears. As with most new things these days made poorly and cheaply but expensive.

I sure miss good workmanship. I miss helpful clerks, good manners, things that last, things that are made well, smiles and shop owners who look happy to see you entering their doors. Actually that has gotten better in these bad times. The shop owners almost thrown their arms around you and burst into tears of joys to see customers at all, LOL. Anyway, the furnace is fixed now, my son has thawed and hopefully it will make it through another long winter blast.

Rick is making taverns again tonight. Yummy. I slept a good 7 hours and feel rested and ready to go it another day. And weirdly my sinuses are plugged again. I seriously think it's that recirculated dry air at the hospital. I was feeling better. And I am allergic to the sanitizer they use at the hospital so my hands are all broken out again. I bring my own soap but in a hurry forget to use it each time. So wish my luck I can get through this long stretch without my sinuses getting as bad as 2 weeks ago.



Bon Hiver all.

Snow, Cinnamon rolls, and Health reform bribes

I woke up this morning to the smell of freshly baked cinnamon rolls, Yeah Rick. Got out of bed and glanced outside, fresh snow covering everything. With my Christmas decorations up its beginning to look and smell a lot like Christmas.

Funny thing today. What do you call taking 300 million for your vote, no, not prostitution, close,no.... we call it a bribe. So apparently do others. Louisiana's moderate Democrat Mary Landrieu took a 300 million dollar bribe to cast her vote with the health care reform bill. And today they struck that section giving Louisiana the money off the bill. Nice to see something right for a change. She isn't the only one of course that was bribed for their vote. AARP, the AMA, and since Buffet owns Geico maybe that is why he is so supportive. These people give nothing freely.

And is the government bought media still just talking about Tiger? Real issues, like why a community organizer is running a real war with our young men and women's life's at stake? Like why he is still going to Copenhagen? Like why he continues to shove this health care reform down our throat? Like why they won't talk about Man Made Global Warming being a hoax! Oh no, lets just talk about another man cheating on his wife, heartbreaking as that is. Sheesh..............And the job summit today? This article says it exactly.

Work tonight. I am feeling somewhat better. Still have some sinus issues but the deep bone tired weakness and tiredness is gone. And I graduated from PT again. I see the Doc next tuesday to see if he will release me. My Christmas shopping is done for the most part. I am ready for the holidays. My Christmas CD's are out ready to drive Rick crazy and make me happy. Make up some hot butter rum mix and life is good. Cheers to all.

Update on Charlie the abused dog

Just look at the smile on that sweet face.

Charlie had his surgery yesterday to fix his broken legs and is doing well according to the update on the website. So far they have raised almost half the money needed. Way to go to the caring people who donated. Get well soon Charlie and I hope you find a good forever home soon.
