Being Child-LIKE is what keeps us from premature "oldness". I agree but how would you define premature? Before death. I knew there was *some* reason that I like you so much. Nothing better than a good swing at the park or a great sprinkler at the neighbors (or even your own!) Agreed again but is that an invitation? Hold up a sec while I get my camera.... Can we stop holding now? snip Hot pink waders? At the risk of talking stereotypes here, I think you maybe looking for a gay fishing store. ;-) Well that could very well work..... I DO have a thing for the men ya know. ;-D Which thing would that be exactly? Yes...do tell.... I'm still waiting. Are you still waiting, Cele? Lord knows a ROCK has more fashion sense than I. I need all the help I can get. We only have your word for this. Maybe you're better than you give yourself credit for. You could post a pic, for general discussion.... Yeah we're good at that here. -- Paul Griffiths |

We live in The South - in Georgia, USA - in a semi-sub-tropical sort of climate. We have a swingset... A sprinkler... A 3-foot snap-set swimming pool... A dog to run with... and an acre-plus back yard. We do hay-rides with the lawn tractor and utility trailer, around Halloween. So far so good. You can borrow my nine-year-old (as long as you have him back by bed-time)... And we ALWAYS have bubble stuff under the kitchen sink. :-) You wouldn't want to be here in high summer - temps run around 100 degrees with 90+ % humidity during most of July and August - but April thru June and early September are usually perfect for sprinkler parties and cook-outs. :-) Sounds like another good plan. Gonna be a busy year next year. :-)) snip Lord knows a ROCK has more fashion sense than I. I need all the help I can get. We only have your word for this.

Whoda thunk Flourescent Orange and plum purple would create such a scene. 0;-D Hey, at least you wear COLORS. I usually get sent home - if my friends can find me - because I'm wearing such blah colors that I fade into the background scenery. :-) Spent much time in Special Forces have you? (grin) Nah... Used to be a jail officer. When you're a 5-foot 4-inch female, dealing mainly with 6-foot-plus drunken males, with an occasional violent offender coming along for variety, the ability to do a quick-fade becomes a survival mechanism - they can't hit you if they can't see you, but you can sure drop them if you can catch them by surprise. Unfortunately, wearing a uniform so much of the time plays hell with a person's off-duty fashion sense, especially when they didn't have much to start with. :-) Which I didn't. Now I get to wear hospital scrubs in bright colors and patterns, starting next week... And am probably going to have to take someone along shopping to avoid getting plain blah green. :-) Anybody wanna going scrub shopping? ~ Dor |

Being a nurse, having had to wear "whites" during school, I went hog wild once I was allowed to wear 'anything that makes your patients smile.' My advice...stick with pastels; lavender, teal, light blue. I wear plain colored slacks and multi patterened tops. What type of office will you be working in? Helps to sort what type of atmosphere to the kind of tops you wear. Being in Pediatric homecare now, Scooby doo and pooh bear fit quite well. Lucky me!! Betsy |

Betsy I'll be in a satellite surgical center (say that six times fast!), employed as Med Records Coordinator.

I should be good at this, right? :-) I was thinking darker bottoms with light or patterned tops. The center is supposed to supply a jacket with my name on it.

As for the shoes...whatever you feel comfortable in, you should wear. No sense wearing shoes that hurt your feet. Some places prefer you wear white shoes...others don't have a preference. Good Luck to you! Betsy |

Ooeer! I'll just make a note of that for possible future reference, if you don't mind. Hehehehe... What I used to tell inmates, during in-processing - "You'll find that I am just as nice as you will let me be. Behave, and we'll get along just fine. Give me trouble and you'll wish you'd never met me." :-) I generally had less trouble out of people than any of the other jailers, though, barring our sergeant - who also was a short, "Mom"-looking sort of person.

Nothing personal but I have more than enough memories of hospitals as it is. Bright colours and patterns sounds like fun though. I've had my share of time spent in hospitals, too. Never in but once for myself (and that was childbirth, what can I say?), but I've spent more nights than I care to count sitting watch in the cardiac unit, and the ER, and such. I'd probably have some trouble adjusting if I had to work in the main hospital itself, but this is a satellite clinic, day-surgery unit with no extended care facility on premises. And the colors and stuff DO sound fun, don't they? I talked to my supervisor yesterday - she said the don't coordinate uniform, anymore, so get whatever I liked. |
