Subj : Re: who's here? To : George Pope From : Daryl Stout Date : Wed Sep 08 2021 12:41:00 George, > If I did, I don't remember getting it. GP> They don't keep your health records for life where you live? The hospital where I was born apparently is no more. I found that out when I had to apply for a birth certificate replacement. It cost a pretty penny to get it, as well. GP> We do & if you're missing somethimng important, the community nurses GP> contact you to schedule your required dosing. My pharmacy calls me personally, and tells me when I have prescriptions to pick up. There apparently is a scam going on, by a place posing as one's pharmacy, and asking you to respond YES or NO if it's you...I hung up on them...as they can record you saying "YES", and have you purchase a product that you had no interest in, or need for. My pharmacy shows up on the Caller ID on my smartphone...and then I either get them that same day, or the next day, if I've already been out on errands...especially if it's late in the day, and traffic is getting heavy with rush hour. I don't like anything to interfere with my power nap. This is because frequent naps prevent old age...especially if taken while driving. > Sleep and I have a loving relationship. But, N. Somnia, and L. Armclock > are trying to break us up...the jealous whores!! GP> I know them, too, & I agree with your assessment! And, sleep is much prettier than those other females. GP> "People are strange" goes the song; I say, "people are dumb" Or as the game show "Match Game" had..."Dumb Dora and Dumb Donald are so dumb..." ["How Dumb Are They??'']. As Foghorn Leghorn noted "This boy... I say, this boy is so dumb, he thinks a pigpen is something to write with". GP> Reality trumps(small-t) theory, every time! The substance of reality is bull$***. :P Although, I said that at work years ago, and this fellow female employee said "Cows do, too. But, they don't brag about it". I had to admit she was right. GP> Also, "Feces occurs." GP> I add, "so we got to scrape it off & keep moving" I said that to another fellow female employee, and she looked at me funny. When I "translated it" ($*** happens), she busted out laughing, saying "I'm going to tell my sister!!". Well, the next morning, as she walked in, I asked her "Did you tell your sister??". Grinning, she said "Yep"...so, I asked "Same result??"...and she said "Yep". She lost her first husband to colon cancer, but she apparently remarried too soon afterwards (grief takes a long time in some folks), as the marriage didn't last 2 months. We were great friends, but the one thing I didn't like about her was that she was a smoker. Had she not been a smoker, I might have struck up a relationship with her. I have no idea what happened to her, as she went to work elsewhere before I resigned in late July, 2004, due to declining health. My wife has been gone 14 1/2 years now, and while I'm busier than I was when I was married (especially when I was caregiver for my Mom before her death), some days, it gets awfully lonely. I tell married couples to "cherish every moment you have with your spouse". I do have a ton of wonderful memories of my late Mom, my late Dad, and my late wife, that no one can take away. To me, the only thing I want smoking or steaming is the food on my dinner plate (sizzling fajitas at Applebee's). When I was at the cardiologist recently (as noted, I'm a heart patient now, with atrial flutter, and I'm on a heart monitor), and I noted that, one of the female nurses busted out laughing, and said "That's what I'm talkin' about!!" . A fellow female ham radio operator had smoked, dipped, and vaped for years. Now, she's paying the price with mouth cancer...having to have her whole mouth rebuilt, all of her teeth removed, put on a feeding tube, and learning to talk and eat all over again. She said if she knew then what she knew now, she never would've started smoking, etc. GP> To me, when I sign on to a job, I've given my word to do the agreed GP> upon job for the agreed pay rate, and I seek to do 105%, or better, of GP> what I should. Exactly. Even though I can't work a regular job now (I've been fully disabled for 17 years, and they keep finding stuff wrong with me)...with the hobbies of the BBS, ham radio, and square dancing, I want to do the job that I can be proud of with my efforts...never mind eating salted crow and humble pie when I make a mistake (I know that just sorely disappoints your outlook of me ). GP> I'm well appreciated (with money(bonuses & unrequested raises) & GP> benefits) wherever I work. With ham radio, we're prohibited with taking money for our services. We basically provide communication out of the goodness of our hearts. The one exception is if it's expenses related to preparing and conducting license exams...then, we are allowed to be reimbursed for that. > Sort of like the medical professionals...they've seen it all. Yet, I > know folks who don't want to go to the doctor, clinic, hospital, as they > don't want to be seen naked. It's just another day at work for them. GP> Mr. Jones, at 86, was having none of this stripping in front of a lady GP> nurse & said so vociferously. GP> She calmly responded, "Mr. Jones, I've been doing this for 30 years & GP> I think I've seen them all." GP> He replied, "Well, you ain't seen mine & we'll keep it that way." GP> He, rumour has it, was assigned a male nurse.. I prefer the female ones myself. It doesn't matter to me if they see me nude...you have got to be proactive on your health. Otherwise, you are sure to be sorry. When it comes to medical issues, you need to throw all modesty out the window. They're there to save your butt, and not kiss it. Long before COVID-19, I was hospitalized for several days. Several ladies I square danced with were nurses on my ward...they gave me such grief. > It was. The fact of the matter is when a guy has sex with a girl, it > automatically makes him "the father". GP> Pretty much. If you're not wiling to ultimately commit, you're not GP> ready to do the deed &/or don't understand the reality involved in GP> such. That makes you too young. Exactly. GP> People think it's just skin against skin, but it's soul merging with GP> soul & the later breaking of that holy bond is a great damage indeed. And, they think "until death do you part" is murder by one of them in an angry rage. GP> & it don't matter if you go to church, nor which one -- or even if GP> you're an athiest -- we were made as He made us. Or as these childbirth humor items note: Childbirth Humor: Q: Should I have a baby after 35? A: No, 35 children is enough. I heard of one lady in Israel who had 69 -- I wonder if that's where that deal came from?? Q: I'm two months pregnant now. When will my baby move? A: With any luck, right after he finishes college. Hopefully, beforehand. Q: What is the most reliable method to determine a baby's sex? A: Childbirth. Genuine genitalia. :P Or with these exchanges: 1) "So, THAT explains the difference in our salaries". 2) "I have an antenna, and you have a USB port". 3) "You can't have mine!! You broke yours off!!". 4) "That's a handy thing to have along at picnics!!". 5) "I didn't know there was such a difference between Protestants and Catholics!!". Q: My wife is five months pregnant and so moody that sometimes she's borderline irrational. A: So what's your question? That's redundancy, an oxymoron, or both. :P Q: My childbirth instructor says it's not pain I'll feel during labor, but pressure. Is she right? A: Yes, in the same way that a tornado might be called an air current. Never mind a blow job. :P Q: When is the best time to get an epidural? A: Right after you find out you're pregnant. You might as well prepare for the round the clock diaper duty. Q: Is there any reason I have to be in the delivery room while my wife is in labor? A: Not unless the word "alimony" means anything to you. Never mind "May Divorce Be With You". :P Q: Is there anything I should avoid while recovering from childbirth? A: Yes, pregnancy. I heard of one couple, where the woman seemed to be constantly pregnant. It turns out after she had just delivered a baby, her husband was having sex with her, while she was still in the hospital!! In the movie "All That Jazz", the main character, had just had heart surgery...but the nurse walked in, and saw a girl sitting on his groin, naked below the waist. His reply was "The doctor told me to get a little exercise". Well, sex can kill you...my wife had a heart attack while we were intimate at her request. Now, with me being a heart patient, that threat becomes all to real. Q: Do I have to have a baby shower? A: Not if you change the baby's diaper very quickly. And, that doesn't mean cleaning them with the "Slip And Slide". Q: Our baby was born last week. When will my wife begin to feel and act normal again? A: When the kids are in college. And, the sooner, the better. > I've heard some say that "they're getting married just so they can > have sex legally"...and I tell them "you're getting married for the > wrong reason". It's "For Better For Worse, etc. -- until death do you > part". GP> I knew a couple, old enough, you'd think, but they got married because GP> lust was terrorizing them. Eventually, unsurprisingly, they divorced You lust for one another...but there were many times, my wife and I just enjoyed sitting around nude at home, being with each other's company. I'd make us a couple of sandwiches, and a drink, and we'd just sit there at the table. GP> God may have an issue with prenmarital sex, but not to the degree He's GP> repeatedly said he HATES divorce! The joke is that in Bible times, if the woman burned the toast, the man could seek a writ of divorce. GP> I counsel people if they want to bang without papers & church blessing, GP> go ahead, but be aware that they've started something that should GP> continue for life. Exactly. There is no commitment nowadays. If I were to start a relationship tomorrow, I'd want to date for a year, be engaged for a year, then tie the know. GP> If they can't imagine themselves going on without living together 24/7 GP> (every SECOND of the 604,800 in EVERY week) then marriage may be right GP> & I suggest they set a long engagement period to talk to friends, GP> family, & trusted advisors(including clergy, where applicable) & really GP> see how the other half lives before actually moving in together (with GP> or without paper, which doesn't make a marriage more or less real) My fiance' and myself both had marriage counseling from each of our pastors beforehand, and they felt "you have a good head on your shoulders". GP> I'll point out the plethora of intimacies thAt exist saave that one of GP> consummation, & that 110% of the fun is in discovering them together. Sex is NOT the be all and end all of marriage...it's a fringe benefit. GP> LOVE. Completely. Unconditionally. Endlessly. & Inclusively. GP> Agape in a nutshell. "Unrequited" in Shakespearean. Exactly. Nowadays, there are pre-nuptial agreements...and some of the items can be quite bizarre. GP> Q: What can you do for a tortoise that was falling in love but now is GP> only falling apart? GP> A: Nothing you can do, it’s a turtle eclipse of the heart If a turtle loses his shell, is he naked or homeless?? GP> Remember the good old days, before the pandemic? It used to be you GP> could meet new people, maybe even fall in love and get married. GP> Now I’m just dating myself I have 365 dates a year...I look at the wall calendar. GP> Who knew I would fall in love with a low-carb, high-fat dieter? GP> Turns out she had the Keto my heart this whole time And, she unlocked it as well. GP> Did you hear they made a book (and then a movie) about 2 tectonic GP> plates that fall in love? GP> It was called the Fault in our Lines. Blame San Andreas...it's all his fault. And, an earthquake in Washington, DC, is obviously the government's fault. GP> Q: What do cannon balls do after they fall in love. GP> A: They make bb’s Give me a B. Give me another B. What have you got?? Beauty... because that's in the eyes of the B holder. GP> Q: What happens when two pieces of rope fall in love? GP> A: They tie the knot. Or they just wanted to hang around and neck. GP> Q: How do you make a Lamborghini? GP> A: You get a Sheeporghini and a Ramborghini to fall in love. There you go. GP> If inmates fall in love, do they finish each other's sentences? Depends on the comma-otion or period of time in question. GP> Genie: "You get three wishes. I can't kill anybody, I can't make GP> anybody fall in love, I can't bring anybody back from the dead, and you GP> can't wish for more wishes." GP> Alladin: "I wish that I was rich!" GP> Genie: "Done." GP> Rich: "... I wish that I have a lot of money." There are 2 guys in a health club locker room shower (obviously naked), and one notices a cork up his friend's butt. He asks what happened, and is told that "I was walking on the beach, and stumbled on this bottle. A genie came out, and said "I can grant you any wish!", and I said "No $***??". :P Daryl ....
