Have you ever had one of ""those days"" you didnt want to get out of bed for? I did.

There have been numerous studies that have conclusively shown that it is no busier on full moon days than on any other day.

To me that proves conclusively that the numerous studies are FOS.

The first alcohol treatment program I worked in was on the grounds of an old, grim state mental hospital hospital--the administration building looked like something out of a Charles Addams cartoon. The institution still had a great many of the old long-term chronic patients, mostly schizophrenics, before Washington put them on the streets to panhandle (this was in 1974).

On full moon nights there would be unearthly animal-like howls from the back wards, and patients would break away and run around the grounds naked. They would start winding up for this in the daytime before the full moon.

For donkey's years doctors claimed that those of us with arthritis couldn't anticipate a weather change. Those studies also turned out to be blivets. :D
 
I'll reserve comment on the deinstitutionalization craze because it would quickly veer into politics. Suffice it to say (as you probably know) it was a good idea horribly executed.

My wife can tell me a day or two in advance when the whether is going to change because an old surgical scar starts to itch. Other friends with various joint injuries can do the same. So far, I still have to rely on the weather report, which is a good sign. :) OTOH, my wife and friends are more accurate.

I always dreaded weekend nights during a full moon in nice weather, especially when the college kids had just returned from summer break. I knew that I would be running calls all night long. There is nothing worse than a night that is busy as hell and during which time drags. I'd look at the clock after the 4th or 5th call and realize that the shift was only two hours old with six more to go.

One of the things I don't miss.

This deserves more thumbs up. I just geard about that in the news. I HOPE its only for today--I have a Dental appointment first thing in the morning and--the Dentist is also a she. :)

I have a woman dentist and a woman doctor, I just love the way she says cough.:D
 
Ringo, if I could answer all your questions concerning women, I would be on TV and a millionaire. I have been married for over 20 years to a school teacher. One thing I can tell you is that she HATES a full moon. As for the dentist, I read somewhere that dentists are the most depressed healthcare professionals. Just saying...Good Luck my friend!:D

PS- get caller ID, tell your sis you have a life and been busy. Train the cat a little better!:eek: Yeah, good luck with that...

Heh heh, id be a multi-billionnaire if i could clame to know all about them.One of the safest things ive found-is toplay dumb with them.Might iritate them a bit but, playing dumb is always safe.

Jenny's number is now listed as the FBIs most wanted--on my phone. :-)) She should feel good to be the first ive ever put on such a list. :D

My Sister finally calmed down a bit--but still iitated at something??? Ive given up trying to figure her out.

My Cat is set in her ways.It would seem like punishment if I tried correcting her now.
 
I thought I posted this already but I apparently I pulled my old trick of previewing a post & then forgetting to actually post it. ANYWAY, Ringo I remembered you had a dental appointment today & I hope it didn't go anything like this!:eek::D:eek::D:eek::D

 
Ringo, I used to have those days all of the time until I came up with a great solution. Now, I just look at the person who's bugging me and say....
crazy-old-wheelchair-man.jpg

Please, don't make me kill again!!! Works every time.:D
 
Its not that you didn't want to get out bed. Its that you shouldn't have gotten out of bed. :D I had a day where I didn't want to get out of bed. 4hrs sleep, so I said screw class, I'm not going. I went to one of my later ones though, but it allowed for an extra hours sleep.
