Hubby told me an amusing story from his last hospital stay. He likes to play with puns and such, and he was toddling around the floor they way they like patients to do. One of the nurses asked how he was doing, and he made some convoluted reply and continued on. Halfway around the floor, another nurse runs up to him. "Sir, we need to get you checked out." "Czeched? But I'm Norwegian." "Sir, come over here and sit down." "What do you need to check me for?" "We're afraid you're showing some signs of impairment, it may not be too bad, just let us--"
And he realizes they think he's had a stroke and are taking his wordplay as a sign that his brain is going. He finally convinced them that his mind was fine, he just likes playing word games. I've told him he'll get in trouble for this one day. I guess a cardiac care ward is not the place to not be fully coherent.
"Sir, we need to get you checked out." "Czeched? But I'm Norwegian."
I've told him he'll get in trouble for this one day.
This strikes me as a case where the phrase "too smart for your own good" applies.Wordplay is yayfun and all, but he's gotta know that 95% of the people he comes in contact with aren't even going to get it with the help of a dictionary.
I think he enjoys having everyone he meets stare at him and go "Huh?" They just rarely have the means to have him committed or brainscanned.
I was going to say, that's a large institution and hasn't she looked into transferring internally
This actually might be good. Last I heard, they were only allowing internal transfers, not new hires, so other depts. might be really happy to get her.
They just rarely have the means to have him committed or brainscanned.
That's where it backfires. FOILED!
My mother and sister are coming today, mostly to see my cousin one more time. I am not ready.
Note to self: Clean more than once a year.

Since Dallas is a passport processing center and you are so close to your departure date, you have the option of making an appointment with a rep at the center who can help you locate it. I know it means taking time off work but the both people I know who did it said that just making the appointment lessened their anxiety and both walked out with their documentation.
Ginger, is today your birthday? If so, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
If not, uh, hi!

It's not our passports. It's our visas. That place is in Houston. Which, Jon did say he'd drive down on Thursday if he had to. I'm just frustrated and trying not to cry or have a fit at work.
In bed is warm. Out is chilly. Not that it is cold, per se, just the delta T is more than my skin wants. Can I stay here for a few hours? Damn. Ok. I'll get up and get ready for work.
