And too much life insurance is a really bad idea.

Get off the lawn, dammit!

Laundry with the grandkids. Woohoo.

The rejection arc begins - one way or another.

Sorry, leftover meatloaf tonight.

That's rough. Both my parents died at home; it's physically as well as emotionally exhausting. Hugs to both of you.

Fishing is only one step. Can you find your own bait? Can you gut a fish and scale or skin it? Are you hungry enough to eat it raw, or do you know how to build and attend a cooking fire? (And I'm being nice and assuming you have fish line and a hook.) Yes, fishing is a survival skill, but being able to drop a hook into water in and of itself isn't going to be enough.

Pfft. Damned city kids.

Commandment III: Thou may eat sandwiches, but only if they have been shuffled together like a deck of cards.

No. It's Popeye. @SwimModSpongesNever mind time, the Church of Popeye is coming, just as soon as I can either cobble a theology together or receive a divine revelation. Whichever comes first.

I like him. I wish he'd worked ER with me.

When I was a wee practicing Catholic, they told us in CCD that such mysteries were beyond the comprehension of man. Now eat your spinach.

I think Popeye is better. Ditch the bread and wine and eat your damned spinach.

But that's what Popeye says...so Popeye is God?

The Christian god is a triune deity with job titles for each part - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. I think the only reason that Jesus wound up with a name was because He was the only part that had to deal directly with the public.

And do you have a playing card stuck in the spokes so it sounds like a motor?

No. Have you ever made a successful souffle?

Nope. Can't say that I've ever even met a nurse who's fallen for a patient, either. I'm not denying that it could happen, it's just that patient care is not as romantic as the existence of the trope might lead you to believe.

Never heard of the Florence Nightingale effect, I just know that when it's happened to me, it's been very cringy and uncomfortable. And although I'm just a humble nurse, female physicians, NPs, and PAs have expressed the same feelings (yes, we talk); in fact, I've never run into a female health care professional who doesn't have at least one story ( the men probably have theirs, too; I've just not heard them). You've found a professional with whom you have a good rapport and who is providing you with good care. That's a lot harder to find than a potential romantic interest. Appreciate what she's giving you, and don't push for something that's going to make her feel personally, professionally, or legally uncomfortable.

A lot of healthcare professionals keep their nails short and unpolished for hygienic reasons. Short nails are less likely to have stuff under them, cracked or chipped nail polish actually provides more spaces for bacteria to proliferate. Also, for what it worth, it's awkward as hell when a patient hits on you.

Lovely! Then definitely welcome back!😊

Welcome back. Does memory serve me in that you are the person who objected to butter being left on the counter, or am I having (yet another) senior moment?

Aw, I just want to pinch those cheeks!

Not the delicious tacos again, dammit 🤬
