Pokey, ya know you are never safe right??? It just don't happen around here...this thread or any other.... we just set ourselves up for it!!
SC
Yes we do, SC. And thank goodness for that! How dull this place would be if we couldn't have a little fun and laugh at ourselves in the process!
Good morning TT and House!
Catching up around here - for having been a quiet forum last night (at least where I was peeking), there's a good bit of reading to do... BBL!
Hey guys!! Hows everbody?? I am here now..... No more turns for a week or so!! So I am about to be myself again....least for a while....
SC
It feels good to be in my own skin for a while, SC! Woot!
Consider yourself very lucky because I am more addicted to the flavors than I am to the nic
Pfffttt...keep telling yourself that, Salem.
When you get down to 0mg let me know...
.Ha! I vaped nothing but menthol when I started. I thought they were all crazy vaping food flavors. Pokey kept sending them to me telling me that I would like them one day. I still thought she was nuts but she ended up being right
Being nuts and being right are not mutually exclusive. However, I am far more nuts most of the time than I am "right". Oh, wait - I'm not right, either. Thank goodness.
Soooo....I've just visited the tattoo contest page.
And I've got a tat story to share...I know, who'd a thunk it? No, not about me. No tats here except for the 62 on Pokey's rump...
On second thought, it would be best for me to share it later when there aren't so many people (and mods) around and I have had some time to write, re-write and edit it a bit. It's not that bad, really; I just have to find the right words and they elude me this morning.
Remind me later in case I forget.

Goood morning Pokey and everybody else that pops in this morning.
Pokey, you had me sitting on the edge of my seat all primed for a really wild tale and then I get the "Remind Me In Case I Forget." Its like a movie on television where it gets to the exciting part and they say ... to be continued ...maybe. Now my head will be all messed up until breakfast!
The kids are all out at the lake, none of them stayed here at the house and I know they did it so they could sleep until noon. I know what those rascals are up to!!! I guess I'll let them sleep and they'll call when they get up. We put plenty of things in the refrigerators for them to fix meals, so they'll be okay.
We have a 30% chance of rain today. Looking at that storm in the Gulf on radar it sure looks like its heading this way - slowly - but their saying it will turn north-east away from us.
Boy, this 25% sale DeXTeR is having sure is tempting me real bad!!! Its going to be a challenge to see how well I can control my buying urges.
I guess I need to go back over to his web site and take another look around! Just to look ... ya know ....

Here ya go, TT. Just finished it. It seems to be cleaned up enough for these parts and not in the least bit wild. A very rare, public Pokey story.
The art of hazing takes on new dimensions in the nursing world. And while nowadays it is very much frowned upon, it was expected and much anticipated by the nursing veterans when I first began my career.
It was my first week at my first job as a "real" nurse in a hospital. And in that position, all the tasks that the senior nurses didn't want to do got pawned off on the noobs in the name of on-the-job training. A young man well known to the staff was admitted; a frequent-flyer of tattooed infamy, well-known to all but myself. He was a hard-living motorcycle type with a wicked a sense of humor equal to that of the older floor nurses' he had become family with over his many admissions. He was in need of a urinary catheter - and that special task was delegated to me.
Quite young, scared and unsure of myself I went to his bedside. I explained the procedure as I had been taught to do; he just lay there and grinned at me - his twisted little smile and his ongoing silence in our conversation only worsening my worries and adding to my obvious discomfort. I removed the bedcovers, pulled up his gown (far be it from him to assist with this) and lo and behold, encircling his ringrangdoo there was a tattooed garland of red rosebuds with stems, thorns and leaves trailing down to his nether regions.
Without getting into the fine details of how such a tube is placed, rest assured that my face was far more red than the rosebuds I first found there and it quickly deepened to a mortified, hot scarlet once their stems and leaves grew and the buds blossomed under my hand and before my eyes.
I have a poor memory, these days, for many of the unusual, funny and sometimes sad stories I have encountered in the past 25 years I've been nursing. But, without a doubt, the image of that man laying there, that tattoo saluting me from the bed is burned forever in my mind.

I was just going to say that you guys keep me up way too late and now I need a Pokey nap but I think that this story just woke me up a bit
Pokey ... THAT is one great story! It proves once again that true stories are far better than anything that can be made up!
I know it was an interesting topic, but it sure was well written and fun to read.
Very well done!

Hello BFF: I have been too busy to even go back and read what I have missed. I just wanted to let you know that I will try to have a good time without you, but it will be hard. I will be so busy missing you that I don't know if I will have a good time, floating on the lake, drinking vodka lemondrop martinis, going out for fresh fish dinners, and generally doing nothing.....it will be hard having fun without you....but I will try. I was going to take you all with me until I found out no wi fi in the house we are staying in......darn hillbillies!!! So try to survive the week without me....I know it will be difficult.
Lots of hugs.....see you in a week.
Missing you already!!

Stay safe! Hugs SC
Great story Pokey, and yet another reason I could never be a nurse!
I am surrounded by them though...friends & family...and I know what nurses talk about when they're not at work. (shiver).
They really enjoy making me gag...when they're not trying to convince me that I have a deadly disease that is...
Thank you for the great story!

Evening, All!
I am here for the moment and will be back later. I was supposed to be at work but they decided they didn'twant need me, so I am a lost lamb on a Saturday night. And on a holiday weekend, to boot. And to think I slept away the day for nothing, **sigh**.
The good news is that the next person to "likey" me gives me my first 1000 likes! (hint, hint)
The bad news is that I'll be here celebrating it all by my lonesome. Or with Echo - not sure which/who is worse at this point.
