Okay, new game, simple rules.

Post a comment or question said or heard by you today that you figure no one else on the forum has heard today.

"So did you get a funny hat with that?" said to a guy wearing a "Shriner's Hospital" tshirt.

Later in the discussion, which covered the name change of the hospitals, there was this:

"A lot of middle-class and upper-income white people just get annoyed because we don't have any "in-group" names for ourselves. Me, I just figure it's the natural downside to having never been oppressed."

I didn't hear this today, but once, while sitting on my porch, I heard a woman screaming at her husband.

"I know you're lying. I found a receipt for condoms! We don't use condoms!"

The follow-up was even better though, because I asked why it would go away and she said that maybe it would get hungry or thirsty if it was left alone, and might go to McDonalds for chicken nuggets.

Okay, a quote from a story a fellow teacher told me about why he got in trouble last year:

"That's okay. If you feel that strongly, you can read and write about a book other than Harry Potter. Just bring in a note from your parents..." (he said he paused here while better judgement failed him) "...and while you're at it, bring in a list of all the other books you find offensive. We can pile them all in the middle of the room and set them on fire."

"They put your ear on your nose?!?"

My daughter Abigail to my mom, who had surgery today - she had a cancerous lesion on her nose, and when it was removed they took some cartilage from her ear to help reconstruct her nose. Abigail was completely flabbergasted at the idea.

Do you really want to explain that? If so, read on I suppose.

We have a resident who is badly declining d/t the fact that she will not eat, and in my mind, has just given up. If she doesn't void (urinate) within 16 hours, she has to be cath'd. (Meaning I stick a rubber straw like tube into her bladder, and drain it) Did I fail to mention that she's a nun? A very conservative nun. One that you KNOW went into the ministry early in her life, and took her vows before she actually went through the process. She's a little fiesty when it comes to something being stuck up inside of her. It take three nurse aide's to hold her arms and legs, and me to do the procedure.

Any further explanation necessary?
