Q spot WordPorn/wisdom memes and silliness

I think I'd consider it winning if we could at least convince thirsty numnums to harass in complete sentences with punctuation. I wonder if there's any correlation between poor grammar and bad social form?
Probably, you will notice as the grammar decreases the bad social form increases.🤔🤫

But if you ask @cheekygirl75 aka grammar Nazi, I have good not grammar.🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️😂😂
 
Sister Patience.

God I haven't thought about that name in years. A few moments ago her name came up in another thread and I'm laying here flooded with memories. You laugh but that was the name she took upon herself when she became a nun. She was a nurse from the old school - back when morality was part of the curriculum and doctors were men and next in authority only to God. In the modern age of the post sexual revolution, she still wore the habit and you could have cut your fingers on her starched white uniform; none of this fancy designer scrubs with the form fitted bottoms nonsense. She was ancient. She was a stern and hard taskmaster and nobody dared dismiss her short stature. "Do not call in sick! If you are sick, come to me and I will see you are taken care of and decide if you should carry on or go back home. Do not dare call me sick because you are hung over. If you are well enough to drink yourself to death, you are well enough to suck it up and help the actually ill."

My 20 year old self feared her. But around the broken population that she served, she was a different woman. She was compassionate and was never above any menial task in their care. I learned from her the value of all humanity. "Nobody has time for foolishness as long as there are those in need"
We learned to eat the special diets so we could gain empathy for what the patients had to endure....ever tried pureed pork chops, sugarless pudding, or thickened black coffee? You learn not to be dismissive of those who must consume them. You might hold a degree, but if the bum needs wiping you wipe it. If the sheets need changed to prevent bed sores, you change it. Shave a man who can't anymore and watch his pride be restored. Service. Humility. I owe my work ethic in large part to her. Bless you Sister Patience wherever you are.
 
Sister Patience sounds like quite a presence. May she be blessed wherever she is. Beautiful tribute, Q.


Thickened beverages have got to be the most bizarre texture I've ever tried.
