GEE- holding boom box DJ Raven- dancing king

You know you're a nurse when.. 1) the front of your scrubs reads 'Nurses... here to save your ass, not kiss it!' 2) you occasionally park in the space with the 'physicians only' sign... and knock it over. 3) you believe some patients are alive only because it's illegal to kill them. 4) you recognize that you can't cure stupid. 5) you own at least three pens with the names of prescription medications on them. 6) you believe there's a special place in hell for the inventor of the 'call light.' 7) you believe that saying 'it can't get any worse' causes it to get worse just to show you it can. 8) you wash your hands BEFORE you go to the bathroom 9) you believe that any job where you can drive to work in your pajamas is a cool one. 10) you consider a tongue depressor an eating utensil. 11) eating microwave popcorn out of a clean bedpan is perfectly natural. 12) you've been exposed to so many x-rays that you consider it a form of birth control. 13) you've ever heard a patient with a nose ring, a brow ring, and twelve earrings say 'I'm a fraid of shots.' 14) you've ever placed a bet on someone's blood alcohol level. 15) you've told a confused patient that your name is that of a coworker and to call if they need help. 16) your bladder can expand to the size of a winnebago's water tank. 17) you have seen more penises than any prostitute could dream of. 18) you believe that not all patients are annoying... some are unconscious. 19) your family and friends refuse to watch medical sitcoms with you because you spend the whole time correcting everyone and pointing out upside down x-rays. 20) you don't get excited about blood, unless it's your own. 21) you've sworn to have 'do not resuscitate' tattooed on your chest. Soon. 22) discussing dismemberment over a gourmet meal is perfectly normal to you. 23) your idea of fine dining is anywhere you can sit down to eat. 24) your idea of a good time is a cardiac arrest at shift change. 25) you believe in the aerial spraying of Prozac 26) you believe that 'shallow gene pool' should be a recognized diagnosis. 27) you believe that the government should require permits to reproduce. 28) you believe that unspeakable evils will befall anyone who utters the phrase 'Wow, it's really quiet, isn't it? 29) you have ever wanted to write a book entitled 'Suicide: getting it right the first time.' 30) you have ever had a patient look you straight in the eye and say 'I have no idea how that got stuck in there.' 31) you've had to leave a patient's room before you begin to laugh uncontrollably.

So, I am helping a friend out and greeting and promoting the lounge she is DJing for now.... As part of the promoting (just like promoters in almost every other lounge here on Fubar) I have been greeting, rating, and inviting them to visit the lounge if they want (leaving a link in the comments, again like almost every other lounge promoter here on FuBar). Did the exact same thing I have done for the past week last night. Well, I get this comment from another member on my profile page about someone being their 'best friend' and the lounge they are a DJ for being better. Now mind you I had no idea who this 'best friend' they were talking about was, and the comment seemed to in a 'just kidding' Kind of manner, so I just moved on, not even thinking about it again. Well, later on in the lounge several people come in, including this other DJ.... SO I welcome them, get back to my conversation, when outta no where this DJ goes off about the comment I left her "best friend" saying I was trying to 'steal him away' from another lounge. A couple of her 'friends' had come in to help out and continue the barade. I literally was stunned by this. I had NO idea that people were personal property (with exception to those that are legally bound by marriage certificates). See, I was taught that in America, people have freedom of speech, religion, and yes, freedom to make choices. I wan NOT trying to steal anyone away from anywhere, as in people are not personal property and have the right to make their own decisions as to where they go, who they talk to, and yes, what frickin lounge they may visit. Last night,I was so upset by all this, I actually went and posted and apology comment on this DJs page as if I had actually done something wrong. What do I get back in turn, but an overtly rude comment back. Having had time to sleep on it,I am not upset or hurt by this anymore, or even too mad about it. I am just amazed at how much like 2 year olds some adults can act. I won't deny that I can still have a temper tantrum on occasion, but I really try to save them for things that are pertinent like paying high gas prices, overly exorberant light bills, or asshats that try and infringe on my personal freedom of choices and beliefs, not because someone left a comment on a friend's page about another lounge I KNOW they aren't going to visit. That kind of "they are MY friend not YOURS" bullshit needs to be left in the sandbox kiddies; Put your big girl panties on move on. Now that I have vented my frustration, that is what I plan on doing.

Clay Balls A man was exploring caves by the seashore. In one of the caves he found a canvas bag with a bunch of hardened clay balls. It was like someone had rolled clay balls and left them out in the sun to bake. They didn't look like much, but they intrigued the man, so he took the bag out of the cave with him. As he strolled along the beach, he would throw the clay balls one at a time out into the ocean as far as he could. He thought little about it, until he dropped one of the clay balls and it cracked open on a rock. Inside was a beautiful, precious stone! Excited, the man started breaking open the remaining clay balls. Each contained a similar treasure. He found thousands of dollars worth of jewels in the 20 or so clay balls he had left. Then it struck him. He had been on the beach a long time. He had thrown maybe 50 or 60 of the clay balls with their hidden treasure into the ocean waves. Instead of thousands of dollars in treasure, he could have taken home tens of thousands, but he had just thrown it away! It's like that with people. We look at someone, maybe even ourselves, and we see the external clay vessel It doesn't look like much from the outside. It isn't always beautiful or sparkling, so we discount it. We see that person as less important than someone more beautiful or stylish or well known or wealthy But we have not taken the time to find the treasure hidden inside that person. There is a treasure in each one of us. If we take the time to get to know that person, and if we ask God to show us that person the way He sees them, then the clay begins to peel away and the brilliant gem begins to shine forth. May we not come to the end of our lives and find out that we have thrown away a fortune in friendships because the gems were hidden in bits of clay.. May we see the people in our world as God sees them. I am so blessed by the gems of friendship I have with each of you. Thank you for looking beyond my clay vessel.

I found this on AOL, and found it quite interesting.... Now, who says blondes have MORE fun? The Latest in Love & Dating News: Women: One Hair Color Has the Most Sex Posted: 2007-09-26 14:22:19 Of all women, redheads have the most sex. Although he doesn't explain exactly how he came up with this dubious conclusion, sex researcher and professor Dr. Werner Habermehl of the Hamburg Medical Research Institute in Hamburg, Germany says he examined the sex lives of hundreds of German women and compared the findings to their hair color, specifically red, blonde and brunette. "The sex lives of women with red hair were clearly more active than those with other hair color, with more partners and having sex more often than the average," Habermehl told London's Daily Mail. "The research shows that the fiery redhead certainly lives up to her reputation." And if women dye their hair red? That means they're signaling men that they're looking for a sexual partner. "Even women in a fixed relationship are letting their partners know they are unhappy if they dye their hair red," the professor told The Daily Mail. "They are saying that they are looking for something better." Psychologist Christine Baumanns told the British paper, "Red stands for passion and when a man sees a redhead he will think he is dealing with a woman who won't mess around and gets straight to the point when it comes to sex." Now, how can you argue with this SCIENCE? I certinly ain't! LOL
