For Trucker and Eyes (21)
KHD100: Grandmas:
I was out walking with my Grandson. He picked up
something off of the ground and started to put it in his mouth. I took the item away from him and I asked him not to do that. 'Why' my Grandson asked.
"Because it's been on the ground; you don't know where it's been, it's dirty, and probably has germs," I replied. At this point, my Grandson looked at me with total admiration and asked, "Grandma, how do you know all this stuff?? You are so smart."
I was thinking quickly and said to him, "all Grandmas know stuff. It's on the Grandma Test. You have to know it, or they don't let you be a Grandma." We walked a long in silence for 2 or 3 minutes, but he was evidently pondering this new information.
"Oh....I get it! he beamed, So if you don't pass the test you have to be the Grandpa". 'Exactly,' I replied with a big smile on my face.

Tell your grandson the truth... it's us men that mark your test paper, and if you fail, you don't get to be a grandma, just another grumpy old woman that doesn't even know how to make chocolate chip cookies
11 PEOPLE ON A ROPE
Eleven people were hanging on a rope
Under a helicopter.
10 men and 1 woman.
The rope was not strong enough to carry them all
So they decided that one had to leave,
Because otherwise they were all going to fall.
They weren't able to choose that person,
Until the woman gave a very touching speech.
She said that she would voluntarily let go of the rope,
Because, as a woman,
She was used to giving up everything
For her husband and kids or for men in general,
And was used to always making sacrifices
With little in return.
As soon as she finished her speech,
All the men started clapping . . . . ...

This g-ma just has to share that literally out of the blue was asked if I would like a mu resume to be considered for an opening (I sent my resume in about 6 months ago). I interviewed tomorrow and was offered the position today. Monday to Friday - amd almost double the money...HELL YES!!!! So I will now be working in the field where my heart lies, in supported employment for people with disABILITIES!!
My kiddo is down in Burnaby in closed custody at IAU - In patient assessment unit. Before he went he had an almost complete break with reality again. Been a terrifying and frustrating journey that is no where done...heartbreaking really. Certainly not what I had in mind for my child...realizing that his life is going to be faced with many challenges/barriers etc. And the idiocy of some involved - has been very hard to take. Oh well, he is safe for now and we will take each new day as it comes (I can tell you that having your child beleive theya re a music star, they have employees and must arm themselves with play pistols and rifles, thinking they are arranging armed robberies, dealing drugs....has got to be one of the worse experiences I have had...
Anyways, the man is serenading me with Bad Company's Are you ready for Love...gotta go!
PS, Thanks for listening to my joys and sorrows - know I haven't been on for a while....life happens! Hugs K and B, T and B ...G and M....gotta have coffee sometime...Brew you gotta come up here and see the glaciers and snow!!! Trucker will say yeS ;)
I mean I interviewed YEsterday...and was offered the job today!!! Yikes...talk about a mind-gap

CONGRATULATIONS KIDDO!!!!!!!!!! From Brian and I. I hope it will be the best job. It's about time you got a break in the Job area.
Hope the man child will be alright. Unfortunately I listen to the teens on my bus, and often wonder about their reality ... it's scary how some of them talk, and get each other to join them in their weirdness. I'm not talking the innocent stuff, just the stuff that does them more damage.
Your man has been great being there for you and your son. It's an amazing thing when you can find such a partner.
Take care and best of wishes in the New Year.
YES Trucker,and Brew should join us all in Whitehorse for a hell of a good cup of coffee, or at least a drink and supper. :-D
eyesthatknowwhy: ! So I will now be working in the field where my heart lies, in supported employment for people with disABILITIES!!
That is the type of place I work for. :-) (I just don't do your type of job)
Got the kidlet's diagnosis...or rather what they are leading toward. Simply, it is an evolvement and direct result of his pre-existing diagnosis. Bi Polar disorder with Mania and Borderline Personality Disorder.
I am addressing the court tomorrow. They are expecting me to have a plan in place, yet I do not have the completed assessment results, nor do the courts. It is turning into a nightmare, because my son needs a safe place for transition, while we are waiting. He needs stabilization and management and meds. We don't have that up here and because I told them that I don't think I can keep him safe, they are attempting to make this a section 35 - child protection issue and place him in a house called the children's receiving home where they are no more equipped than I to manage him. He is angry and out for revenge and will be housed with high-risk youth, other youth, other young offenders, those who will add fuel to his fire and take advantage of his vulnerable yet altered state of mind. No one there is trained to deal with his need.
Children's Advocate is involved, because this screams of lack of serviced for youth with Mental Illness...
Overwhelmed, I know what I want to say, just need to get down on paper and get in the right frame of mind so that I can deliver my concerns and ideas to the Judge effectively.

Nurses aren't supposed to laugh...
'Of course I won't laugh, said the nurse. I'm a professional. In over
twenty years I've never laughed at a patient.'
'Okay then,' said Fred, and he proceeded to drop his trousers, revealing
the tiniest 'man thingy' the nurse had ever seen. Length and width, it
couldn't have been bigger than the a AAA battery. Unable to control
herself, the nurse started giggling, then fell to the floor laughing.
Ten minutes later she was able to struggle to her feet and regain her
composure.
'I am so sorry,' she said. 'I don't know what came over me. On my honor
as a nurse and a lady, I promise it won't happen again. Now, tell me,
what seems to be the problem?'
...'It's swollen,' Fred replied.
She ran out of the room...

Did you ever wonder why there are no dead penguins
On the ice in Antarctica - where do they go ?
Wonder no more ! ! !
It is a known fact that the penguin is a very ritualistic
Bird which lives an extremely ordered and complex life.
The penguin is very committed to its family and will
Mate for life, as well as maintaining a form of
Compassionate contact with its offspring throughout its life.
If a penguin is found dead on the ice surface, other
Members of the family and social circle have been
Known to dig holes in the ice, using their vestigial
Wings and beaks, until the hole is deep enough for
The dead bird to be rolled into and buried.
The male penguins then gather in a circle
Around the fresh grave and sing:
"Freeze a jolly good fellow"
"Freeze a jolly good fellow."
"Then they kick him in the ice hole."
You really didn't believe that I know anything about penguins, did you?
It's so easy to fool OLD people

Over five thousand years ago, Moses said to the children of Israel, "Pick up your shovels, mount your asses and camels, and I will lead you to the Promised Land."
Nearly 75 years ago, when Welfare was introduced, Roosevelt said, "lay down your shovels, sit on your asses, and light up a camel, this is the Promised Land."
Today, Obama has stolen your shovel, taxed your asses, raised the price of camels and mortgaged the Promised land!
I was so depressed last night thinking about Health Care Plans, the economy, the wars, lost jobs, savings, Social Security, retirement funds, etc... I called a Suicide Hotline. I had to press 1 for english. I was connected to a call center in Pakistan. I told them I was suicidal. They got excited and asked if I could drive a truck....

Right now Brian is bent over from the pain of laughing so hard. (Guess I should not have read this to him...)
Brian said anytime his truck breaks down you can have it.
Dear Gordo (from short bossy 1) you so funny man!!
...good one...
EVER SINCE I WAS A CHILD, I'VE HAD A FEAR OF SOMEONE UNDER MY BED AT NIGHT. SO I WENT TO A SHRINK AND TOLD HIM 'I've got problems. Every time I go to bed I think there's somebody under it. I think I'm going crazy.'
'Just put yourself in my hands for one year,' said the shrink. 'Come talk to me three times a week and we should be able to get rid of those fears'.
'How much do you charge?'
'Eighty dollars per visit,' replied the doctor.
'I'll sleep on it,' I said.
Six months later the doctor met me on the street. 'Why didn't you come to see me about those fears you were having?' he asked.
'Well, eighty bucks a visit three times a week for a year is an awful lot of money! A bartender cured me for $10. I was so happy to have saved all that money that I went and bought me a new pickup!'
'Is that so!' With a bit of an attitude he said, 'and how, may I ask, did a bartender cure you?'
'He told me to cut the legs off the bed! - Ain't nobody under there now!!!'
NUTS TO THE SHRINKS..
HAVE A DRINK & TALK TO A BARTENDER!

I was out walking with my Grandson. He picked up
something off of the ground and started to put it in his mouth. I took the item away from him and I asked him not to do that. 'Why' my Grandson asked.
"Because it's been on the ground; you don't know where it's been, it's dirty, and probably has germs," I replied. At this point, my Grandson looked at me with total admiration and asked, "Grandma, how do you know all this stuff?? You are so smart."
I was thinking quickly and said to him, "all Grandmas know stuff. It's on the Grandma Test. You have to know it, or they don't let you be a Grandma." We walked a long in silence for 2 or 3 minutes, but he was evidently pondering this new information.
"Oh....I get it! he beamed, So if you don't pass the test you have to be the Grandpa". 'Exactly,' I replied with a big smile on my face.
