RE: A Friend Like You

That really says a lot. Great poem, Vicki.

RE: Are you at work right now?

I am not working right now. I work the graveyard shift. I love communication but last night I learned the silence can be golden, too. I learned that I have friends there and sometimes if I am patient and hold my tongue that everything just kind of works out. I have learned that I can't communicate with some people but with others I can. I am glad I have a higher power that fights my battles. It has helped my serenity so much. I have friends that will really stick up for me and most of them are my bosses. I just do my job and what I can't do I get help with. I don't have to do it all alone. People know me by name and it is ok to ask for help rather than do something the wrong way. I can express my anger and it is ok, today. Happy Monday to all.

RE: My Dreams

Aw, that was really pretty. The little things can mean so much. Things, places and people can mean a lot to us but sometimes we don't realize it in real time but later it can dawn on us.

RE: The bible

I learned from reading the bible that I have a real love of curiousity, love reading and love contradictions. Some of the bible is hilarious to me. Like this King did ok but he had a son who really screwed up. Then the son after him screwed up even worse but then his son was ok. But then his son screwed up. Genesis is really interesting to me. Ecclesiates is my favorite book of all. I love it when King Soloman who according to the bible was the wisest of them all admits that everything is vanity. I just crack up every time I read where he concludes with a particular idea that this, too is vanity. It is like he is saying tht it is all vanity or as the forum used to conclude damn if you do and damn if you don't. I like the way my dad used to say, "You wouldn't be happy even if I hung you with a new rope." I would say no dad I would rather be hung with an old rope because maybe the rope would break."

RE: Hot Actors/Actresses of Yesteryear

I remember seeing the movie but it has been a while.

Turner Classic Movies was a great idea. Ted Turner had some great ideas with Turner Broadcasting System, CNN and even had the Atlanta Braves. I got to see a show of Bill Gates and Ted Turner together on AETN which is out PBS station here.

RE: A card from my son

Hey, that is great to hear, Earl. Those cards and letters can mean so much.

RE: The Big Bang vs. Religion - Discuss

Ok, how about there was these two giants getting a little and it got got messy and got out of hand and the solar systems was what was left of it. That could be the big bang, huh?

RE: Wildest Dream............

Last night I dreamed I had ate the biggest marshmallow and when I awoke my pillow was gone.

RE: Hot Actors/Actresses of Yesteryear

Barbara Feldon was awesome in. "Get Smart". She was agent 99.

RE: Yvonne De Carlo / Lilly Munster died 84

I thought she handled herself quite well for having a vampire for a father; a monster for a husband and a werewolf for a son. And that car, it was just awesome.

RE: For those over 40

Yippee. Super Saturdays they were called on TBS out of Atlanta, Georgia. I thought Lum and Abner, Ma and Pa Kettle and the Bowery Boys were something. I am still trying to collect the Bowery Boys on DVD.

RE: Martin Luther King's dream

I loved Martin Luther King's dream. The only thing that aggravates me is Malcolm X's birthday isn't celebrated. But we really don't know when Malcolm's birthday is. I did a research paper in college comparing Martin and Malcolm. I thought Malcolm was more handsome than Martin but I am a guy. I thought Malcolm was smarter than Martin but I only got to read the book. The book that compared the two went into detail in how they both viewed the situation.

RE: Hey!!!!

Was you able to grab the instructions before you left?

RE: Hey!!!!

I am glad you were able to escape in time.

RE: Hey!!!!

Wow, and I had almost gave up on magic. Abrakadabra. Now you see it now you don't.

RE: Hey!!!!

Hey, what happened to that thread?

RE: The Big Bang vs. Religion - Discuss

I believe in the big bang theory and God. I believe God said let there be light and there was this big bang and it all happened.

RE: New To CS hope to make some new friends

Welcome to CS. Since I have come to CS I have learned that I can pet two dogs at the same time.

Another way the lady aides has helped is in self protection. So far three lady residents have proposed to me if I would get them out of the nursing home. I am glad I have female backup where I work.

Lady Wrestlers

I agree. At one location I worked at they had 50 women working the pack line. Two machines took their job. They were absorbed into other jobs but they were just as menial. When I was working maintenance at the location we had one lady maintenance worker. Some of the ladies thought they couldn't do maintenance. I asked them why not and they thought it was man's work. Technology can be a be a pro or a con.

Lady Wrestlers

I just noticed that this last week. The aide I work with, Lisa has a brother who is a resident their. I used to cradle him at a dead lift. He has really gained weight. I told Lisa that I am not going to lift the heavy ones by myself any more because I will either hurt them or myself if my back gives out. She told me I shouldn't do it anyway but wait for her to help me. You know how guys like to prove their strength. I am now trying to prove that I am not just a strong back and a weak mind any more. Another guy aide almost pulled his back out, too.

Lady Wrestlers

What I admire about them here is the honesty of the communication. The ladies deal with problem openly in some cases and deal with it instead of going behind someone's back or over their head at the job places. There is no guess work about how they feel or what is on their minds.

Lady Wrestlers

Some of ladies at the nursing home can fight that way. You would be surprised the work out from turning people over in the night and making beds around them. One has to lift with one's back and I have found the more an area can be the less civilized it can be, too. Some women have tough jobs in the factories here and the pay scale is low. Some women have back breaking jobs.

RE: Would you date someone from work?

Not where I work. Some of the ladies there just scare me. Besides they are all married and I admire marriage because I know how hard they can be to keep. Great friends married people be can be though.

Lady Wrestlers

I think there is something to admire about women with a maternal instinct that not only is evident with the kids in their care but also covers the friends that they have. I have witnessed some watching some lady wrestling and I am not just talking about wet tee-shirt contest or mud wrestling. There is just something about a good brawl.

RE: Where did starlitebrite go to?

She is a wonderful and beautiful lady with a great sense of humor. She has startled some really good threads on the forums.

Lady Wrestlers

Usually at the nursing I have to watch out for the cat fights. But this morning I was having to watch out for a potential slugfest. I thought ladies were supposed to be feminine. This one lady from dayshift was trying to give the lady I work with, Lisa a hard time. Lisa told me she wasn't going to say anything to her but if said anything to her that she was going to deck her. Lisa has arms as big as my legs and this other lady was the same size as Lisa. Evidently, Lisa has a temper because this other lady was trying not to upset her. I was seriously looking for a safe place to be. I have heard it is always the quiet ones you have to watch out for. It gave me a new respect for Lisa. I have never seen her this way. I was really impressed.

RE: friends with benefits

I think learning how to be friends with yourself and learning how to love yourself can help immensely. Learning how to accept yourself and how to accept others can make life easier for one.
