WORDLESS WEDNESDAY:ALIVE!

The Queen's Meme-HOSPITAL ZONE

Let's get institutionalized, shall we?

The Crazy Hospital Meme

1. What is the strangest thing that has ever happened to you in a hospital (besides your illness)? Not enough towels? No condiments? Can't get your favorite channels? Come on, you can tell me. **Or....maybe this answer doesn't involve you being the patient.**

OK! I wasn't the patient. My boyfriend at the time was in and had just had hernia surgery. And I mean that day! He wasn't supposed to move let alone get up. He wanted to make whoopee in the bathroom. When the surgeon checked on him several hours later, that darn doctor KNEW!

2. If you had your choice of IV cocktails, what would you choose?

Dextrose-neat. This meme is all of a sudden making me ill. Too much remembering of my last stay in the hospital last summer-that lasted ALL SUMMER.

3. Tell us your funniest hospital story.

This wasn't so funny for me at the time, but the nurses laughed their bloomers off. Last summer, the first 11 days of my stay, I was in a coma. The only thing I can remember is that I constantly had very strange dreams with one section of the wall prominent in all my dreams. The one dream I can remember vividly is this-I dreamed that I had been captured by an Arabian shiek. The colors were vivid and intense, almost hurting my eyes. I was added to the shiek's harem. I remember thinking that the other women would at least be friendly. Wrong! I remember a group of women standing around me, laughing and joking. All those harem gals were, well, let's just say I was in an X-rated movie. When I just couldn't stand it anymore, I remember laying there, scared, trying to figure out what I could say to them to make them stop. I said, "All right, ladies, I think that's just about enough!" in my sternest teacher voice. I heard laughter. And that's all.

Backstory: I WAS surrounded by women, laughing and joking. But it had been the nurses stripping the skin off my legs.

4. Do you have any hospital phobias?

I am terrified of oxygen on in my room.

5. Imagine you are in bed trying to get some sleep after a long night of interruptions by the nurse on duty who would NOT stop waking you up to see if you were asleep...It is 3am. You finally get to sleep. She comes in at 3:15 and wakes you up again. What happens next?

I ask for a sleeping pill.

6. You are stuck in the elevator with an attractive person of the opposite sex. You notice there is no wedding band. Do you strike up a conversation? If so, what is the first thing you would say?

Yes, I strike up a conversation, but not because he is a man and not because he is attractive. That's just how I am. I'd talk and be friends with an unattractive toad-of-a man.

7. A very odd patient wanders into your room from the upstairs psychiatric ward. What do you do?
Talk to make that person comfortable while I'm buzzing the nurse.

SUNDAY STEALING-FALL MEME

Sunday Stealing: A Fall Meme

It’s not really fall in until......the leaves begin to turn colors.

What did you need to do in the waning days of summer for it to feel complete?

Pick blackberries.

A person I know was wrong for me but about whom I frequently thought after a break-up was...

No one I care to remember.

If you could only attend one major sporting event what would it be?
Daytona 500

Assuming that you write an anonymous or partially anonymous blog, by what non-physically identifying characteristics might you be identified in a bar?

I'd be the woman talking to the spirits in the room...and I don't mean the booze!

Most blogs cover some sort of niche – personal, political, dating, culinary, etc. What topic, if any, would you like to address on your blog but doesn’t fit into your niche?

Personal Ad Piranhas.

If you could manipulate the time space continuum and give as many as three pieces of advice to a younger version of yourself, what advice would you give and to what age of you?

Age 31, don't get your tubes tied cause you'll want more babies.  Age 21, don't date Barry cause he's cheating on you with the nurse.  Age 24, don't rest until Donnie tells you what he wanted to tell you.

Who among your friends do you really wish had a blog because their stories, or perspective on something ought to be shared?

My friend, Rose Siers. If you know Rose in Eufaula, Oklahoma, have her get in touch with me!

If you were to take an e-cation (vacation from the trappings of our electronic world,) and assuming that employment obligations would allow it, how long of a break could you take? What would you miss the most, the least?

I'd miss the computer and cell phone.

On September 11th of this year, I attended a couple of parties and was somewhat conflicted by the fact that this ignoble anniversary shall pass with it being just another day in the eyes of many (and in some ways my own eyes as well.) Thoughts?

I'm conflicted on this one. First of all I agree that the day should be noted in some way. But to note it as it really should be noted, Sept. 11 needs to be a national holiday. Yet if we do that, if we have any big shindigs at all , we are also in a way commemorating the terrorists and what they stood for. I have a sad feeling it's a lose/lose situation no matter how we look at it.

How high are your walls? Who was the last person to scale them? What tools should would-be climbers have on their belt?

I haven't a clue but the maintenance man can reach the ceiling with a stepstool. His tools of choice? A cup of coffee and a paintbrush.

The sexiest thing a man or a woman can say to you (or has said to you) is:

You have the most beautiful eyes and hair I've ever seen.

Thank you for playing this week on Sunday Stealing!

THURSDAY THUNKS:LATHER AND LAUGH

Lather Up, Laugh It Up, And Have A Colorful Day!

Welcome to the September 24th version of Thursday Thunks!

(which we always seem to post on Wednesday)

Where we make you think

a little bit before you blog!

This week we will answer some crazy questions brought to you by Kimber, the number 1172007 and the color of the walls in an asylum.

1. Does soap or shampoo have to really lather up for you to feel that it cleaned throughly?                        Of course! I've been brainwashed by that industry, too!

                

2. Do you have a long standing joke with someone that you still laugh about every time you talk to that person?

No, I do not!

3. Share something that happened to you this past week that was unusual.

Not a darn thing!

4. If you dropped a purple crayon and a green crayon off a roof, which would melt faster in the sun?

The green one. The purple escaped the ravages of that mean old sun by rolling down the storm drain.

5. You are standing in line (grocery store, bank, etc.), and someone gets in line behind you that stinks. The stink is so bad that people in line in front of you turn around and look to see if you are the one causing the stink. Do you cover your nose, hold your breath, breathe through your mouth or just get out of line altogether?

I'd ask the person behind me if he or she would like to go ahead of me.

6. If you dropped your cell phone in the toilet, would you fish it out? If so, how much soap would you use to wash your hands afterwards?

What else are you going to do? Flush it down the toilet to wedge sideways and clog the drain? If you get a good lather you don't have to use very much soap!

7. Sydney Australia dust storm (link). How long do you think it would take you to clean your house after that sort of dust storm?

I prefer to not even think about the possibility. Why borrow trouble? I'll just pray for all those affected by the storm.

8. Do you think you can dance?

I love to dance, but since I've never taken lessons, I do it my way!

9. You are out to eat and someone across the room is staring at you. Do you get paranoid, try to ignore them, or go find out why they are staring at you?

I'd give a little salute or wave. That usually solves the problem.

10. Come up with a crazy, wacky Thursday Thunk question.
In what strange and unusual way did you meet your significant other?
