A chuckle for tuesday

If you yelled for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days you would have produced enough sound energy to heat one cup of coffee. (Hardly seems worth it.)

If you "broke wind" consistently for 6 years and 9 months, enough gas is produced to create the energy of an atomic bomb. (Now that's more like it!)

The human heart creates enough pressure when it pumps out to the body to squirt blood 30 feet. (O.M.G.!)

A pig's orgasm lasts 30 minutes. (In my next life, I want to be a pig.)

A cockroach will live nine days without its head before it starves to death. (Creepy.) (I'm still not over the pig.)

Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories a hour (Don't try this at home,maybe at work)

The male praying mantis cannot copulate while its head is attached to its body. The female initiates sex by ripping the male's head off. ("Honey, I'm home. What the....?!")

The flea can jump 350 times its body length. It's like a human jumping the length of a football field. (30 minutes..lucky pig! Can you imagine?)

The catfish has over 27,000 taste buds. (What could be so tasty on the bottom of a pond?)

Some lions mate over 50 times a day. (I still want to be a pig in my next life...quality over quantity)

Butterflies taste with their feet. (Something I always wanted to know.)

The strongest muscle in the body is the tongue. (Hmmmmmm......)

Right-handed people live, on average, nine years longer than left-handed people. (If you're ambidextrous, do you split the difference?)

Elephants are the only animals that cannot jump. (okay, so that would be a good thing)

A cat's urine glows under a black light. (I wonder who was paid to figure that out?)

An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain. (I know some people like that.)

Starfish have no brains (I know some people like that too.)

Polar bears are left-handed. (If they switch, they'll live a lot longer)

Humans and dolphins are the only species that have sex for pleasure. (What about that pig??)


I WISH TO BE A PIG, IWISH TO BE A PIG, I WISH TO BE A PIG

Insults

We all have friends, right? Then we have the one's we might chat on the phone to once a month. And the one true friend that you share everything with from the size of your big toe to the 5 nipples on your chest.(figuratively speaking).
Well i have this one friend. Who i thought was a friend. We have become distant lately and, I have noticed that iv'e made an effort to see her here and their, but shes always busy or has something else on.
Anyway, all i get now is an sms to be invited to a party or to go to a pub/nightclub with her and her friends. It feels as though im being used. Being used to make up numbers.I kind of feel insulted. Actually i do feel insulted. In fact im cross. Angry! ARGHHHHH.
If she was a friend, she would make an effort to be in contact with me more often, rather than using a text message to invite me out even though iv'e had no contact with her for 3 months! HELLO. Does she think im stupid???
So the moral of my winge is that i have declined the invite. I politely sent an sms back thanking her for the invite and that i have something else on. She didn't respond to my apology. She has INSULTED ME! I could write a list of insults from here to timbucktoo. But i will add another that gets up my nose. Thats the one when your at the supermarket chackout, and the shop assistant is having a lovely conversation with another co-worker on the next checout. There's no manners. No "Hello, How are you today?" Just chit chat and giggles with one another. That is insultinging rude and mannerless!!!
So, whats your insult? Please do share....

battling a busy week

well. whats been happening in the week of Anges life?
1st thing that comes to mind is work. Unfortunately you do spend the majority of living working.

The week started off smoothly.Then at the blink of an eye it all changed.
Mr A deteriorated, Mrs B's condition changed, Mr C's illness worsened and Mr D passed away. Then a few new admissions threw the spanner into the works. talk about stressful. I felt like walking out on friday. it was unbelievably insane. Almost to the extent of tears.Then i started to think WTF would i like to do if i opted for a career change?

A) Teaching? School holidays and public holidays would be a bonus. But when i think of the bigger picture, i dont think i could handle smart arse kids. Nah forget it!

B) secretary? Nah! sitting at a computer all day doing work for your boss, making coffee's and deadlines. See ya!!

C) the technology business. Computers of course. Yeah that sounds interesting, but in what area?hmmmmmmm.

I do like medical. maybe i should look into doing a degree of some sort. Shop around and do some research to see what catches my eye.

Im only going off on another tangent as the workload has been heavy. i can only do so much when i only have 2 hands. i have definately had my running shoes on for the past couple shifts. I would love to wear a pedometer to see how many kms i do. i know one nurse who has done that out of curiosity, and she clocked up 7-8 kilometers! Who needs the gym.

As for out of work, my cousin that i havnt seen for 17yrs has just got engaged. She is living in perth, but will be venturing over to melbourne to have her engagement party. Im in 2 minds as weather to attend. I mean really, its been LONG time no see. Then if i do attend, just maybe we might rekindle a friendship. see what happends.
And now there's christmas partys comming up in the 2nd week od december. Then a 40th. So life isn't so sedate at present. Lots to do and think about.

Wet and Soggy Moggy

OMG! My little four leged friend here decided to join me in the shower! Yes. Thats right. My pet feline sat behind the shower curtain (while i was bathing) and decided to play with the water. Only his adventure got the better of him! I think i may have got a bit of a nervous twitch and accidently moved the shower curtain! I woder why that happened?Go figure.(oops...LOL)
He loves water. He loves to get into anything he can. You should have seen him checking out my cactus garden and my lovely gerbra's.
But no matter what. I still love him. He makes me laugh and is great
company. However, i really do hate to think what he will do to the christmas tree when its up?????

30 something

OK OK OK. I have gone a bit nutty with my camera. I love to take pics and post them on my blog. My camera wasn't purchased to sit on my shelves to gather dust and look pretty. So i take pictures whenever the opportunity arises.

I love the flowers that were sent to me from work. I actually had tears in my eyes of joy and happiness. It was such a warm thoughtful gesture. It made me relise that there are people out there that do care.

Birthdays are a celebration of living for another year. Experiencing another 365 days. A year of tales to tell and memories to share. Some good. Some not so good. My mum called and said, "Today is exactly like the day you were born,"(melbourne's warm 29 degree day).
I started to think. Enjoy your birthdays. Not to go WOOHOO(like i have in the past), as one is fortunate enough to have a life and to have lived to the age you turned on on this particular day. Its a gift. To be able to walk, talk and breathe on our planet earth.

Anyway, i went out for dinner to lygon street with a friend. What a beautiful balmy evening. It was so still. No wind, only a slight gentle breeze that put me into a gratified mood with a smile on my face.
Then we went for a drive around St Kilda. OMG! My friend was pointing out the prostitutes. So degrading. So sad. Women standing on a street corner waiting to do business. How? How a woman can bring themselves down to that level? That level of selling their body for sex to any male of age. It makes me cringe. What a life!!!!!!

So im now 33. And my fear wasn't lived. My fear of grandma dying on my birthday. God was i petrified it was going to happen. She's so tough. So strong. Yet so ill. Mum had her write me a card. That made my day! A card hand written with a birthday greeting. My last birthday card off my nan. A tresure to keep forever...

Birthday flowers sent to me from work! 

MY BIRTHDAY!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MEEEEE....E,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!

I LOVE THE CACTUS PLANTS THAT NIXIE GAVE ME.
She went to all the effort of making it. there's nothing like
a hand made gift off a friend. Thank-you *hugs*

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY DAD!!!XXOO

Nan and i two weeks ago...

Not ready

Thankyou to all who have left comments to my last post. My nan is still fighting the will to live. she's an incredibly tenacious woman. She is very weak, dehydrated, confused and is developing jaundice. However she's obviously not ready to let go.She was so near to ending her 84 and a half years of life last week, but fluctuates day by day. God is not ready to accept her.

I admire my mother who has taken on the responsibility of one on one hands care. Palliative care and RDNS is also in place. Thank goodness there is support out there. Otherwise i believe my mother would have had a break down by now. I too go to visit when able. I cant get to much time off work at the present time. But if my mother was to call in dire straits, i would drop everything to be by her side in a flash.My mother and nan have always had a close bond.Kind of like a couple that are inseperable.

I will keep you informed of my last closest living grandparent.
Hugs and kisses to you all xxoo

p.s I started to smoke again!!!
