String em together..always sounds creative

It's easy...just imagine your patient pulling out his central line.... or dropping the propofol bottle.....

I have had some colorful replies to both these scenarios!

 

[thør]

Isn't Mother Nature grand?

Every day......

 

[Lilianna23]

Yep...I was like fill me up charge nurse.... and you know nurses.... there are those that do and those that dont

Yeah. I'd always rather fill up my beds early in the shift. My coworkers thought I was a loon!

 

[Lilianna23]

I love those that DO take charge!!

Then you'd probably love a K+ and Lili tag team!

 

[Lilianna23]

I had one come up with some colorful language to describe a patient who self-extubated. She got into trouble for that, like she could have done anything short of physical restraints.



Oh wait, that would have been like closing the gate after Baby Poodle got out.

Actually, we do restrain patients who are intubated. No one wants to call for reintubation!

I’m very fond of those who do

Three bears just walked through the yard......

 

[nipplecaresser]

Sluts...especially er nurses.... other specialties i am not sure.... lillianna?

This creates a major dilemma. I don’t want to spend a lot of time in ER but….

 

[nipplecaresser]

Good to see you back NC!

And as a former tanker, I appreciate this!

Yes, I recall one or two people saying you were a tanker, or something like that!

 

[nipplecaresser]

Do you know any I don't know? Trade?

I suspect that, as the UK and US are nations divided by a common language, I could probably proffer some profanities with which you are unfamiliar

She’s in good spirits, but the gravity of the situation is starting to hit her. She’s doing all the right things. Getting some loose ends tied up, and making sure all bases are covered. I did take her by a car dealership and we looked at a newer car for her, so she’s still thinking long term! Not even a thought of not driving anymore! I take that as a good sign!

Have to get prepped for work early today. SWMBO has a procedure today that they wont let her drive home, then mom’s big event tomorrow. I might have to play hooky a day…

Some River MZ…about ten yards this side of the bridge on the right, was my great-grandfather’s farm. My mother was born in the old house that still stands, but has long just been a storage area for cousins who maintained it. Last I heard they were going to tear it down. The state came in and either bought the strip or took it through eminent domain not sure which, but the ramp leading up dominated the view off the front porch. That’s been before I was born. We didn’t visit much as my grandmother didn’t drive and my auntie who lived there drove so would come to us. The times we did go out, all I remember was a herd of kitties, and more snake pieces parts laying about….

Them kitties do their jobs well…

I hope your wife's procedure went well. Prayers for your mom tomorrow! Do take the day off to care for these two most important women in your life.

 

[Lilianna23]

Ugh…. I know. She and I are the last of our nuclear family. I had a sister that passed before me so we’re it. I handled my father’s death pretty well relatively speaking, but I don’t think I’ll handle hers that way.

One thing I take comfort in is she gets to spend every waking moment with her great granddaughter. Our oldest moved in until they save enough for a house, so every morning is out in the swing with her and doing things together through the day. The bond they have is really something to behold.

This is wonderful!

Good for you... does it help your back at all?

Walking is fine for my back. Bending over and doing gardening is tough.

And lately sitting has been tough.

 

[Lilianna23]

A friend of ours gave us some hops to grow. I used to make my own beer and thought this would be a great addition.

Can I tell you that shit is still “hopping” up 10 or more years on. It is so fucking hard to kill.

I noticed some growing at our farm and I have no fucking idea how!

Hitched a ride on your shoes?

 

[Lilianna23]

They will have to keep it away from stairs!

Ryan Reynolds is the king of stringing them together.

One of my personal favorites, from a cheesy vampire movie.

Thunder cunt would make an excellent band name!

 

[Wonderer67]

Girls are busy bees, indeed! I love the music you attached!

The music was actually playing. We were listening to Sirius chill channel.

I post directly from my gallery. I always have to resize the photos to 20 - 40%. I click on the square box in the lower left corner that says "Attach files," choose "Photos & videos" under "Choose an action," navigate to my gallery, choose the photo, select done, then post and upload the photo. I select "Insert full image" to get the pic to post. Here's one of the cookies I baked today!

Yum! Lemme know if you need help eating then!

 

[Lilianna23]

Sluts...especially er nurses.... other specialties i am not sure.... lillianna?

Eh. We're all sluts!

 

[Lilianna23]

I am spicy

Yeah, you are! 🌶🌶

 

[Wonderer67]

Then you'd probably love a K+ and Lili tag team!

 

[Lilianna23]

In my past experiences, a commonality I've seen about nurses is that they don't tend to be "squeamish."

True. Mostly because we've seen it all...

 

[Lilianna23]

A clinical bunch nurses are

Let's just say we know our way around a body.

Power is back.

The lightning and thunder were almost instantaneous. Really heavy gusts and 3/4” of rain in about 20 minutes.

A few branches down, and I thought all of our sunflowers got blown over, but we only had one casualty!

You guys in the Midwest are probably laughing at my over dramatic storm report.

In a way, I'm envious! I love thunderstorms! We don't get them much here. ️🌩
