It's some of both for some people. My dad said, & I agree, that a piece of paper doesn't mean you're truly married & a lack of one doesn't mean you're not. (he was married, though, twice to the same woman, in the same week! I was born 2.5 years later, so nobody can legit call me a bastard!) I've been married without paper before (still legally married after 1 year, or 6 months, if you file taxes as a couple.) & have now been married 13.5 years, with paper. . . Folks > have told me they get married to have sex legally, and I tell them they're > doing it for the wrong reason. Yup. I tell people to not mock marriage by going into it for the wrong reasonsd, If you just want to boink, then do so. . . > I've had to cut back on medical deals because of finances.

I like when nurses are human/real. . . > Talk about taking a turn for the nurse. Nah, I behave. . mostly. . . I was in hospital years ago & my girlfriend was visiting, I asked her to close the curtains & hop into the bed with me; she balked, saying my roomies would hear; my neigbour pipes up, "I won't listen -- go ahead!" She then asks me, "Wjhat will we do if a nurse pokes her head in?" I answered "She's going to ask, 'what do you think you're doing?' & while she's waiting for an answer, we finish!" She still refused --no sense of adventure! *sigh* (not that time, anyway) > I liked the one where this guy was in the hospital, and he detested > the nurse "baby talking to him".

I heard it as: Nurse: "It looks a little cloudy" Patient: "No problem, I'll just run it through again" *glug*glug* > GP> I always make friends with my nurses, as I seek not to be a problem > GP> patient, but I will be assertive in my actual needs. > That's the way to do it. Yup - works well; my job for a number of yrears was basically flirting weith nurses over the phone to get them to bend the rules for my clients. . . > GP> I wear a stethoscope so that in a medical emergency... > GP> I can teach people a valuable lesson about assumptions. > As long as you're on this side of the grass. Every dasy you wake up above ground is a good day! A man clutched his chest & collapsed. A guy RAN over saying, "I just finished a First Aid course, I'll take care of it." A woman came up & suggested he let her in, as he was flipping pages in his manual to find thge next steps. He said to her, "Don't worry, little lady, I got it covered. Let a man do his thing, please." As he's flipping pages & reading, she taps him on the shoulder & says, ever so sweetlly, "When you get to the part about calling a doctor, I'm already here." > ...
