I've lived here for 5 years now, and have only met 2 Floridians.
I work with most all transplants. . .of 25 staff, only one is a native, and she is my bestest friend at work.
Ok.... I just gotta ask...
How many Teachers and Nurses do we have in here? I can't figure out which profession has the most representation in here anymore.
We have more nurses on the DIS singles threads per capita than any other profession. Why? We have nurturing needs that are only met by the disboards. . . Just the way it is. . .lol.
If I had to make a guess? I think nurses are going to win out.
You already know what I am.
There are lots of nurses and teachers here because the people called to those professions tend to be the loving, nurturing types.
I honestly think that alcohol is the motivating factor though. . .Why? because we can "forget" what we don't want to remember. . .like the 45 year old dying of heart disease who was always healthy and an athlete, or the mother who is 50 and has several young (less than 30 year old) children who has a massive MI and doesn't make it. Its a rough life but a rewarding life. Alcohol can sometimes be a buffer. . .but it is also a detainer. . .keeps us locked in our temporary misery. . .
I don't know about the numbers but this Pyrate certainly loves nurses and teachers..
Nurses, teachers, belly dancers, snake charmers, cheerleaders, and any other females who will wiggle and shake for the camera. . .ROFLMAO. . .
I won't dispute the nurturing part, but that doesn't make much sense for why they would be here.. I'm guessing the numbers show that teachers and nurses are more prone to partying , than those from other professions..LOL
Once again, I must say that we are prone to addictive disease because we find nurturing addictive. . .the alcohol and partying makes it all tolerable. . .
There is definately something about their Uniforms.....
Either that, or after dealing with kids or sick people all day, they REALLY need a drink.
I think the difference is that I have always wanted a drink. On the occasion where I felt I needed a drink I have abstained. I know, kinda wierd. . .lol.
1.all we need are a few cheerleaders and we're good to go..LOL
2. I was just trying to word it in a nicer way..LOL
Whatever, you are a pyrate and can word things anyway you want. . .Captain. . .
Well duh! Actually teachers are the best for partying with because we're
nurturing enough to make sure you get home at the end of the night.
Nurses don't nurture until after the fall. When you need someone to scrape you up off the floor and get you back on track, you get a nurse.
ummm would that be my home or yours ??
I reitterate a quote from a few days ago. . .you are a VERY bad man. . .
cool, then we can do a photo shoot
bad man again.
the only person who ever has, is my daughter, she told me she learned from the best..
Your daughter humbles you. . .its quite awesome to witness in person. . .you turn into total mush. . .you would think she was 2 years old. . .but she is a grown woman. . .And don't deny what I am saying, I have witnessed it firsthand. . .
hahahha wow! the topics we get on in here... XD I think a catholic school uniform works just as well as a cheerleading uniform personally hahaha
I have a cute plaid skirt and plain white polo. . .seems school uni enough. . .lol.
1)
2) I don't have as much practice as Darcy with pyrate speak.
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.
Okay, truly, I am a gonner with true pyrate speak. . .can't do it.
I keep looking at the Calibers. I like all the nifty little things like the cold beverage storage, speakers that flip out for tailgating, and the cooler. Those are features I would actually use. It's also pretty good on gas mileage and I like the look. Debating the purchase.
I have rented numerous calibers on the west coast. The "cooler" in the glovebox feature is only awesome if you can cool the surrounding air lower than refrigerator temps, otherwise the drinks eventually warm up and there is no "cooler" effect.
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...
Wait, I am a girl and I can appreciate a nice fast start off the line. One of the reasons I drive a 5 speed is it is quick off the line. No bogging down like with an auto trannie.
I guess I fit into the nursing category. I'm a former paramedic turned psychologist. However, I am not very nurturing.
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....
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.
Wow, interesting insight. . .
This is me too! I check on and off during the day from my phone, but by the time I get done doing all the kid stuff, finish work for the day, get to the gym, cook dinner, bath, homework... I could go on and on....it is sometime 9pm.
I
for homeschooling I couldn't do it!
My son wanted me to homeschool him during Jr. High. . .thank God I said no. He would have ended up a mess. .lol.
Subtly isn't my strong point, I outright told them they need to go down for at least a month every year so I have an excuse for us to visit them
That would be me. No subtle bone in my body.
I did jump in, but everybody zoomed past me.
It's fine. Sometimes the show is better when you can sit down and watch it versus having to be in it.
Exactly.
to the group. I actually used to live not that far from tucker.
