Singles Social Club: It's 5 o'clock somewhere!

[Madonna3]

hurry up, sneeze on DC, he needs his sexy voice

I can oblige.

 

[DIS_MERI]

Wow, step away for the day and you guys go nutz again....considering the convo I'll probably just bow out of most of it

I will say I'm neither nurse nor teacher (unless you count the homeschooling thing), just a former IT nerd

You guys are so cute. Actually, I'm excited about my uniform, too...except not for the same reason. I'm thrilled that I can still fit into it.

Wow, that *is* impressive Of course, I only weighed 93 lbs when I graduated highschool. I don't think I'd *want* to weigh that much (or should I say that little) anymore....I do miss being able to eat anything under the sun without having to worry.

IT nerds are cool too

I guess I fit into the nursing category. I'm a former paramedic turned psychologist. However, I am not very nurturing.

 

[DIS_MERI]

I still have to decide what I want to do when I grow up since I've still got 29 months of better-than-free college I can use (full tuition paid, plus a living stipend and book stipend). I'd love to be a L&D nurse, but nursing programs here are stupid hard to get into (especially for those of us who haven't had science classes in about 15 years). I'll probably wait a few years until my youngest is in middle school or so to decide since I can continue my current "lavish" lifestyle until the kids are grown and gone....

the best one ever was when one of the Attorneys and I convinced a group of people that we were running a secret nightclub in the basement of a well known building in the City. I created a website, I designed t-shirts and we had them printed, it was so much fun,

we later found out that people would get nervous whenever they saw the 2 of us talking privately for more than a minute or 2. they said they weren't sure what we were capable of..

Hmmmm.....Well Known Building? Strawberry Square? the Capital?

1. I must be suffering from sleep deprivation even more than I thought, I don't recall hiring an assistant for my photography business...

2. you are very welcome, I keep looking at Dodge MAgnums even though I know I shouldn't tempt myself

1. It's an unpaid internship.

2. I liked the magnums back in the day, but the whole lack of a manual transmission got to me. My biggest issue with the M3 is would the RWD really be a smart move with the winters we've been having. But..... M3!

Hey all.

Funny conversations, but I'm starting to feel like the red headed step-child of this thread lol.

Don't feel left out... either feel free to join in, or just sit back and enjoy the show until you feel more like jumping in.

Work made me go home. They didn't like me sneezing on the patients. I actually put up a fight because I had $hit to do, but the director of our agency flung the door to my office open and told me to "get the f&%$ out". I decided it was time to leave.

Ok, I know you ladies are enjoying hearing that low sexy voice, but do you REALLY want to get that from your patients?

I actually like the Calibers, the features you've mentioned are all things that I've added to cars in the past, for car shows...

the problem is. I'm a guy, so I need the car that can also go fast when I want it to, I'm sure the Calibers can go fast, but I'm talking the kind of acceleration that will pin your head against the headrest when I stomp on the gas...

The stomping it and going fast is something that can be kinda....dangerous. My driving record is finally clean since it's been so long since i've gotten a speeding ticket, But there was a time when I'd had tickets from being paced, radar, laser, and a helicopter.

hurry up, sneeze on DC, he needs his sexy voice

How do you know i don't already have one?

Wow, step away for the day and you guys go nutz again....considering the convo I'll probably just bow out of most of it

Oh you're no fun!

Nothing wrong with being an IT nerd. I think Sexy nerd is kinda up there with hot teacher.

I spent 10 years as a medic before I figured out what I wanted to do. I'm glad I finished my degree when I did because my husband and I divorced like a year later and I don't know what I would have done then. Since I stayed in the same field, my company paid for whatever grants didn't cover, including books and expenses.

You might want to consider volunteering at places you think you'd like to work. When I started out in psychology I was going to Industrial and Occupational so that I could work for large corporations, it wasn't until I started interning that I added on the addiction minor.

As far as nursing goes, it's a great field. I considered it while I was a medic, but I didn't like the restrictions. Such as, a patient is having difficulty breathing and the nurses were nearly helpless and could do nothing but call a paramedic. I couldn't deal with that. I loved being a medic and I still do PRN work, but I needed something I could retire from.

What??

They were concerned about the patients getting it from me.

 

[DCTooTall]

What??

They were concerned about the patients getting it from me.

That's what I was saying. You cough on the patients. the patients get sick. They develop the low sexy voice. You get your low sexy voice fix.

 

[Madonna3]

AH! I get it now!

 

[MICKEY88]

YES

4. How do you know i don't already have one?



:

1. unfortunately there is a long list of my male friends eager to be my assistant, the problem is, since I don't allow escorts on my photo shoots, it's only fair that I don't have assistants either, so the model doesn't feel outnumbered and unsafe.
2. the auto stick works fine for me, had it in my '96 Intrepid ES, and now in My 300M Special.
3. it's only as dangerous as you let it be.
4. because yesterday you were a willing participant in the conversation about you getting sneezed or coughed on to have a sexxy voice, you never said you already had it

I loved being a medic and I still do PRN work, but I needed something I could retire from.

My biggest issue (or at least one of them, I've got plenty of issues ) is that I enjoy so many things. I had the same problem when I was in college the first time. I was a pharmacy major (at Butler, nice and cheap ), and yet I was taking 300 level English classes my sophomore year because I love English stuff....I'm actually 5 classes from my English degree. And my Information Systems management degree....and Humanities....and I think 7 classes for History. I think I have about 140 credits, I just can't commit to a degree

Added to that, I can't do much lifting or very much typing (tendinitis in both hands and wrists from all that Navy IT work), or a great deal of standing (also from injuries while in the Navy, although I'm clumsy, so they probably would have happened anyway) so that doesn't help my career choice waffling any, lol. Since the VA will pay me disability forever that I could live off of if necessary (as long as I have a paid for house), I want to find something I'll enjoy, so I *want* to work

I can always be transportation. Don't have to be an assistant during the shoot itself. i'd probably be in the way anyways.


3. True. But that's also why I need a car that's just fun to drive. A fun to drive car doesn't necessarily need to be going fast to be fun. a non-fun to drive car however, you gotta push it harder in order to get to that fun point.

4. Nobody ever asked.

sounds like you just need to find a job at Disney.

um... monorail pilot? Oooo...Or you were navy. Boat captain! Think of all the rumors you could start/spread!

I already claimed you for the teacher side. Homeschooling totally counts!

And I agree with you that weighing less than 100 pounds would probably not be healthy. Haha. I don't even remember a time when I weighed that little. That's when people start making the anorexia comments.

Hey Maria, DC is right about jumping in or watching the show. I probably do 50/50 depending on my mood...

 

[TexasDisneyBelle]

DC

Helicopter???
Really?

you did see my hidden answer to the building

 

[DIS_MERI]

Heck, half the time the convo goes so fast all I can do is read, forget about commenting!

 

[tuckerchicken]

cool

Maybe someday, but for the foreseeable future I'm in Indiana where the old folks live. Mom is 71 next month and Dad will be 74 on MK's anniversary and longevity runs in the family, so I expect (and certainly hope!) to be here for a long time They used to winter near Tampa for a couple of months a year, maybe we can follow them if they start that up again

And I agree with you that weighing less than 100 pounds would probably not be healthy. Haha. I don't even remember a time when I weighed that little. That's when people start making the anorexia comments.

My half brother is 5'10" and weigh 113 lbs, Mom is 5'3" and below 100. I start looking too thin below 115 lbs (not that its been a problem for a while ), but I'm at a fairly healthy weight now. I do need more exercise, but taking 3 kids out for a walk is like herding cats....and I don't run unless something *very* scary is chasing me!
