I had a friend named Lloyd. SHE was named after her father.

George.

Where are his freakin' EARZ??

I just want to add that I have seen codes where the nurse was really low key, and it took precious seconds for the rest of us to realize that she HAD a code we needed to jump on. So, I stick with aggressively proclaiming my need for HELP!

Sandy Springs' southern border is Atlanta, not exactly a small town. I grew up near there. Until Poster Hut closed, you could just drive south about 10 miles to get all your sex toys, fetish ware, naughty cards, etc. And it was worth the drive.

I agree. I'm in the same boat, and add to that I've been in scrubs for the last 27 years (nurse), so I have no clue. I just know that when I walk into a store, I check the fabric, the construction, and price, and usually walk right out. (As I mentioned elsewhere, Mommy was a seamstress, and I was the sewing helper,…

Sewing can be fun but not worth it anymore, economically speaking. Mommy was a professional seamstress, and was I well dressed in the high school years! She gave up sewing "daily" clothes in the early 90's, because she couldn't make items for the price she could buy them. Her "nice" clothes, she still made. Still…

And I'm fine with that, because this comment does not define my life. What does define my life are the hours I've spent caring for cancer patients and their families (I'm an oncology nurse) and the small acts that tried to better the world (picking up random trash, rescuing wandering turtles from the road, exchanging…

I didn't want kids when I got married 32 years ago. Now, I'm really happy to say I didn't give in to the societal pressures that still existed then. And so many of my friends whispered "you were right" after their kids were born

At first, I thought "Aww, Max is a nanny dog." But Max is a boy, so he has to be a manny dog. But Max is a dog, so he has to be a moggy. But moggy is a slang term for kitteh in Britain, so...

I insomnia shop. Pillow from Australia, anybody?

Reminds me of a prank my husband's office used to pull occasionally. This is back in the days of punch cards (I'm an old, he's a REAL OLD!). If a coworker had been too much of a jackass lately, the gang would wait for a rainy day, then open up the umbrella a little, dump the punch card bin (where all the little…

Hey, sista. I had a patient sit down in my iv start chair and immediately start railing at my about how "all you people are idiots, you can never get my iv in one stick." He had HOSES for veins. Well, I was starting for the CT scanner, and they love the bigger needles (better contrast flow). The nurses love the…

It was his pet raccoon he raised from a baby (that he found in the hills where he lives). After this video got out (and the one with him showering with the raccoon), the state seized the coon because he didn't have a permit. The only thing that old man was guilty of was overfeeding it. Do you see how fat is it? …
