I've realized that I will often go weeks without a truly deep breath. One where I will focus on the air entering and exiting my lungs and taking a moment to pa--use. Is this healthy? I hear people proclaiming breathing to relieve stress, but I really don't have time for this.
--------------------------------------
What is a rutabaga? No really, what is it? I'll bet you don't know. No one does. Potato/turnip? Squash/pumpkin? Lampshade/Beet?
--------------------------------------
I've thought long and hard about this, and I can't think of a time when an ambulance would not have the siren on. Leaving the hospital/ambulance station place: siren on - rushing to save a life. Going to hospital with patient: siren on - rushing to get someone else to continue saving said life. Once they've dropped you off, don't they just stay there until the next call comes in? Or are they getting ambulance washes, going to drive-ins, coffee runs? What?

People are not allowed to have a headache on a date. I was meeting someone after a crazy day at work, and felt sorta faint with the headache blindness setting in. All I needed to quell the migraine was a massive glass of water - since about three days had passed without any. But if I ordered water once I got there, no-no. If I actually needed a Tylenol, no-no. Showing weakness on a first date is a huge liability. Suck it up and suffer. Or run to the bathroom and drink from the tap.
------------------------------------
In other news, not being hungry on a first date is also dangerous. Even if I were a salad person, there is no way I would ever order greens (with the dressing on the side, please) on a date. So annoying. Be a man! Order the meat - eat it all - order dessert - drink up! Any little thing can be an excuse for a 'weirdo' stamp, or with women, a 'high-maintenance' stamp - even worse.
------------------------------------
Ok, flies and insects really baffle me. How are they so resilient and impervious to something that would surely end my life if I were them? For example, if there is an ant walking on the sidewalk and I step down beside it, shouldn't this feel like a tremendous earthquake to them!?! Or if I bat them away with my hand, wouldn't that be like being hit by a train? Yesterday I aimed the blowdryer at one and nothing! Shouldn't that feel like a hurricane? How are they doing this?!?!

Oh my gosh... that is so funny. I've never really thought of that until just right now when I read your blog, but you're totally right. How are the insects doing this? I'm baffled as well. On Friday I whacked a wasp with a math textbook and it knocked it down but still didn't kill it, how is THAT possible?
ReplyDeleteWhen I was in hospital and got to go home for the weekend they had an ambulance drive me there which definitely didn't warrant the siren. It took so long for them to come though (due to actual siren-worthy events) that when it came time to go back my dad just pushed me the few blocks in my wheelchair (including down the ramp into the parking garage). I think they also transport dead bodies sometimes which is also not considered siren-worthy.
