Now i know how Howard Stern feels

I got censored on my OWN post recently. I put a piece of info on one of my most recent posts that apparently not everybody knew about. I was'nt aware of this, but got a frantic e-mail and a call to pull the plug on this tidbit. Who knew the FCC was out there reading blogs, i had no idea!!! Anyway, i deleted the info and hopefully did'nt ruin the big news. Maybe next time the person will let everybody know so i don't have to be censored again!!!

Subtitutions

I don't under stand why people feel the need to change thier name by subsituting one letter for another. A common one is to sub an "e" for a "y". This bothers me because just leave your name alone....unless your parents thought it would be cool to do this so your name is different. You know what,if you want a different name for your kids,name them something in Swahili. Look at the Old Testement and pick one of those,those are a little different. Now don't get me wrong,don't do dumb stuff and name your kid Apple or Lexus or anything that extreme. I'm just saying changing one letter in your name doesnt really do anything, but make people like me and possibly some others say "what an idiot".



Abrahym Styll

I'm Baaaaack......

And bigger and better. I know you all have missed me. First things first....i admit it's hard to keep up on a blog. Buuuuutttt.....it doesnt help when the only computer that works in the house is Brookie's whose goes to work with her everyday. Next i'm proud to announce i finally know the sex of Leigh's baby as we went to the baby shower this weekend. I will have a nephew....Baby Benjamin!! I'm sooooo excited, i already have some FSU things lined up for him!! I promise i'll try better with my posts...i already have things that have been bothering me, so keep posted.

Scrotum

I know you are very wary of this blog with a title like that and me being me, but please read on. At my current job, people get wounds EVERYWHERE. I have had to hold up an obese women's stomach before b/c her wound was actually in a fold. We have a quadriplegic who has them on his buttocks from sitting so much. But the icing on the cake, recently a man came in with a scrotum wound. It's actually on his"perial" also known to most of us as the "taint". I figured with the doctor and nurse i would'nt be in on this one. Well.........i was wrong. I got to hold his scrotum back while the doctor and nurse bandaged him up. I felt so bad for him, he was in intense pain b/c of this wound. So he's laying flat with his knees bent so we can get at his wound(i now have a new apprciation for when you women go to the obg/yn) when his wife asks in what room will the home health nurse do his wound care at home. The doctor replies somewhere where he will be able to lie flat like we have him, so the nurse can dress the wound. At that point the doctor tells the wife it would actually be better if his feet where raised in the air a little to make it easier. So.......with my left hand still gently cusping his scrotum the doctor tells me to grab his right leg and raise it.I'm now on his right side with his scrotum in my left hand,his right leg in my right hand, and the doctor talking about wound care. She's at this point not really finishing the dressing....just standing there talking!!Needless to say we finished up, i srubed my hands for a good 30 minutes(yes i was wearing gloves), and that was all. The good news...he comes back on a Mon.,Wed.,Fri., schedule. So if you think you're having a bad day on monday just remember you could be holding another man's scrotum and his leg in the air!!!!

Thanks for Giving

Today the family and i went to my parents for Thanksgiving. My Aunt Nancy was there along with my cousin Sarah. We had a blast!! We played Balderdash(fun game if you've never played). Had all the fixings...Turkey,Squash,Green Bean Casserole, Stuffing,Mashed Potatoes & Gravy and of course pie's. And laughed ALOT!! I think everybody had a wonderful time, i know i did. I hope everybody else had a great time with family and friends on this special day, and try to remember what you are thankful for. Personally I'm thankful for my beautiful family, wonderful and close friends, my health and health of others, the troops who fight for us EVERYDAY so we can be together on a day like this, and being to wake up everyday to see these things. I love you all and hope you had a fantastic day!!!

What to do....

Although i have had my job now for going on 4 months now, i have continued to look at other jobs. I like my job now and like the interaction with the patients, some of whom I've grown kinda close to. This is not a 40 hr. a week job and doesn't pay very well. It's also a small business and there is no room for growth. It is however close to the house and i get off at 3:00 p.m. Just in time for Emma to get home. I had an interview today and already got a call-back. It pays much more, has benefits, 401k, and other perks. However...it is in Marietta and the hours are 3:00 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. at a hospital(Kennestone). From what i understand it is no weekends until i can handle all aspects of the process and then it will be every 6 weeks i work a weekend. Sounds pretty good right? The only dilemma is that i will not see my family basically through the week. The kids go to school and of course Brookie works during the day. I love my family very much and like to spend time with them. So....do i leave a job that i like, that pays little with no benefits. But get to see my family. Or....do i get a better job and sacrifice family time. Any comments or advice you have will be wee received!!!1

Uncle!! Yeah!! Part 2

It has been recently announced what the sex of my 1st niece/nephew will be. I'm am getting more and more excited as they get closer and closer to having him/her. So you're probably wondering why i haven't divulged in the sex then on my blog. I have asked involved to not tell me. I have two kids of my own, but this is different. This is where they come and spend the night so the parents can go out for a night. This is were my kids have a cousin to play with when we all get together. It's all very exciting. I know eventually i will find out. #1 because we will all be together around Christmas and #2 because my wife and daughter kinda have a big mouth. It's also very hard in general conversation when speaking about this subject to not let it slip. Thank you to everybody who so far has been very good at this. I'm also sorry i wont be on your blogs anytime soon b/c my sis and mil(mom-in-law) have blogged about this very subject.Love you all.
