The Queen's Meme #12 ~ The Crazy Hospital Meme

Welcome to The Queen's Meme #12.A Tuesday memeSometimes silly. Sometimes serious. Always fun!Step out of the box. Be creative. Use your imagination. No one's answers are quite like yours.And please, stay out of the dungeon. You don't want to go there.
My dad is in the hospital this week. I have nice, neat, clean Institutions on my brain.
Ergo, you get The Crazy Hospital Meme. Let's get institutionalized, shall we?
The Crazy Hospital Meme

1. What is the strangest thing that has ever happened to you in a hospital (besides your illness)? Not enough towels? No condiments? Can't get your favorite channels? Come on, you can tell me. **Or....maybe this answer doesn't involve you being the patient.**

One Valentines' Day, remember, I owned a flower shop then and Valentines' Day is one of the busiest Days of the year. My husband worked out of town and he had become sick that very morning. Here I am with roses up to my ears and it is total madness. My husband is sick in the ER at this dreadful hospital in Mt. Pleasant. I did not even know where Mt. Pleasant was! Doc, my hubs, gets a friend to help him with his oil wells and then goes to the hospital to stay with him. I check my youngest son, Hunter, out of high school and off we go for a 2 hour drive to find a hospital somewhere in a tiny little town.

Doc is being ask all kinds of questions by this little young nurses aid. You know the unusual questions. Sir, do you have any allergies? Do you have any illnesses? What medicines do you take? And the list goes on and on until she ask him "Sir, do you have any sacreatic (sp)problems?" Doc says," well yes by back has been bothering me for awhile." "NO, no. no!" She says,"Sir, is you crazy? You know... do you have any sacreatic (sp) problems?" He like to have fell off the table when he finally figured out what she was trying to say. She meant psychiartric problems! We got him out of that pitiful hospital and took him home. I went back to my flower shop. That is one Valentines' Day I will never forget.

2. If you had your choice of IV cocktails, what would you choose?

My IV cocktails would have to be margaritas.

3. Tell us your funniest hospital story.

When I was in labor with my first son, we were stationed at Wright-Patterson A.F.B. in Ohio. When we finally did get to the hospital and we were waiting during my labor pains, hubs fell asleep on the gurney next to me. He had been flying B-52'S and their mission had lasted for well over 24 hours. When the doctor came in he ask which one of us was the patient? That was too funny, well I guess you would have to have been there.

4. Do you have any hospital phobias? Are you kidding me? Of course I do. I had major surgery as a little kid. It was bladder surgery from a birth defect. I was in the hospital for over a month. I found out that there was no Santa, just nuns. I was not too happy about that. Just don't ask about dentist.

5. Imagine you are in bed trying to get some sleep after a long night of interruptions by the nurse on duty who would NOT stop waking you up to see if you were asleep...It is 3am. You finally get to sleep. She comes in at 3:15 and wakes you up again. What happens next?

I have been known to say a few choice words when my sleep is interrupted. However, after surgery you feel so bad you just don't really care and all you really want is pain meds. It's later when you are feeling a little better that it drives me insane.

6. You are stuck in the elevator with an attractive person of the opposite sex. You notice there is no wedding band. Do you strike up a conversation? If so, what is the first thing you would say?
You should know that I never have any problems talking to complete strangers. That is because I am a florist. I can get anyone to talk even if they don't want to talk. I am special like that, if you know what I mean? The first thing I would say would be "Hello, how are you doing? Where are you from?"

7. A very odd patient wanders into your room from the upstairs psychiatric ward. What do you do? I would ask if they were looking for the sacreatic ward? You know... are they crazy? I could write a book on this subject. I have many crazy family members!

Life In The Dungeon

This is my little friend, Hector, and he has just seen the most frightening thing. What would scare such a nice little mouse? Can you guess? Please leave your answers in the comment section. RUN, My Little FRIEND! RUN FOR YOUR LIFE! NOW!

For those of you that have never met the Queen of Memes here is her blog site. This is a weekly writing experiment and sometimes if you don't participate or get in trouble you could end up the Dungeon. For more information or to plead on my behalf you can go to Mimi's blog.

http://mimiwrites.blogspot.com/

The continuing saga of the Dungeon. The last I heard the Queen went out on a date and I have not heard even a peep from her. As I said previously, Homer, the palace dog, ordered pizza in for us. Thanks Homer. That was much appreciated.

The mice and I are working on a Dungeon Prisoner's Bill of Rights for our Queen. We eagerly await her response. Even on the Biggest Loser they won a phone call home, had a food tutorial with Curtis Stone and had personal trainers. What gives here in the Dungeon?

Here is our list of needs. The same thing, but in minature sizes for the mice.

1. We need exercise and healthy food.

2. Showers with warm water not cold water and towels.

3. Access to the Internet.
4. A decent bed with sheets, mattress pad, feather pillows and a down comforter. I miss my

Dial a Number bed.

5. Walks in the Queen's garden to renew my spirits.

6. Spirits of the drinking kind. You know Libations!

7. Decent food. Pizza is not on my diet forever.

8. Masseuse

9. Chiropratic

10. Muzak

I hope that in some small way, we make the Dungeon a better place for all prisoners now and in the future.

Signed,

X

The Happy Dance!

The mice are doing the happy dance because things are looking up in the dungeon. I still do not know if I am out of the dungeon, though I hope so.

Life In The Dungeon

For those of you that do not know the Queen of the Memes you can plead on my behalf here.

Mimi Writes....... This is a weekly writing experiment for fun.

I have decided to journal my thoughts about my time in the Queen's Dungeon. The Queen thought it best if I were to spend some time in solitary confinement. I must tell you it has been most difficult living in the Dungeon. It is cold, dark and damp. The Queen has been so kind as to finally give me a mattress, some cheese and crackers, and Homer, the palace dog, ordered in pizza.

It is very lonely down here and I am embracing my new little friends, the mice. While though they scare me to death, we have come to an amicable agreement. If they don't bother me, I will share my food with them. We are working on something more sinister though I can not disclose the nature of the talks. At first, all mouse leaders were present, then one by one they left after a very long and boring speaker. In fact there were two really crazy mice trying to vent to the rest of the mouse world. They had a lot of issues.

Of course, I being the smarter of the two groups told them to behave or they would find themselves in a ditty. I hate to resort to violence, but I have two very effective mouse traps to persuade them to see my point of view.

There is a little light shining through the Dungeon walls. I have been in contact with the group, Prisoners Without Representation and the AARB, the American Association of Retired Bloggers. Next I will contact the Deptarment Of Humane Treatment Of Dungeon Prisoners. I hear that the President is trying to negotiate my release. No... no... not Bill! Please send George Clooney or Brad Pitt, just not Clinton!

I need to close for now before I get in more trouble with the Queen. I have been working on my book and Stephen King wants to do a movie about the Dungeon and The Queen.

The Queen's Tuesday Meme #11 ~ The Loud and Raucous Poetry Meme (Not)
Welcome to The Queen's Meme #11.A Tuesday meme Sometimes silly. Sometimes serious. Always fun!Step out of the box. Be creative. Use your imagination.No one's answers are quite like yours.And please, stay out of the dungeon.You don't want to go there.This week the questions are sheer poetry. Nonsensical. Cerebral. Challenging. The answers should be too.I have given you seven familiar limericks. Your job is to change them by filling in the blanks. Here's an example of a limerick.
There was an Old Man in a tree,Who was horribly bored by a Bee;When they said, 'Does it buzz?'He replied, 'Yes, it does!''It's a regular brute of a Bee!' Lines 1, 2 & 5 rhyme. Lines 3 & 4 rhyme. You can use more than one word to fill the blank but the end words must rhyme appropriately. Now fill in the blanks with the limericks I've given you. Don't think about them too much. Usually the first word that pops in your head can be used to make a very funny poem. Try it!




1.There was an Old Man of the sea,



Who lived upon buoy;



When that did not last,



He took off fast,



That nasty Old Man of flea .







2. There was a Young Lady whose haste,



Were unique as to color and paste;



When she opened them wide,



People all turned to hide,



And started away in post haste.







3.There was a Young Lady of whim,



Who casually sat on a hem;



When the door squeezed her skirt tight,



She exclaimed, 'oh how trite?



This courageous Young Lady of mayhem .







4.There was an Old Man with a stick,



Who bumped at kids with a tick;



But they called out, ' Stop it you ol' bag.



You're a horrid old drag!



So they smashed that Old Man with a kick.







5. There was a Young Lady whose cat,



Came untied when the birds sat on her hat,



But she said: 'I don't care if their in my hair !



All the birds in the air,



Are welcome to sit on my flat!







6. There was an Old Man of the hills,



Who never knew what he should instill;



So he tore off his hat,



And behaved like a brat,



That intrinsic Old Man of the quills.




7. There was an Old Man of hog,


Who had the most curious dog,


For while he was around,



He slept on the ground,


That funny Old Man of Prague.



This one is for Mimi...



8. There was a blogger of old,

who always did what she was told,

Until she started this limerick;

She realized it was no picnic.

Off to the dungeon she cajoled.




Hat tip: Edward LearOriginal limericks are HERE. Don't peek 'til you've finished or it's you-know-where for the likes of you.

Respect

What are people thinking? I have been sadly shocked at the rudeness of people. I don't care for discord so I find it disturbing, all these crass and rude comments by legislators, rappers, and athletes and people in general. What has happened to our world. When did respect no longer mean anything. People wake up! You have so much and you act like this? Like spoiled little children pitching a fit.



We are full of intolerance for anyone. Too full of ourselves to even let a teenager accept her award. How selfish is that? Total lack of conscience, self absorbed and immature. We want what we want... Now! We do not want what anyone else wants. We want our way...Now! We don't care what the consequences are of our bad behavior. You big cry babies. Get over yourselves.



I may be from the old school, but right now I am glad that I have not lost my senses. I have not lost my ability to feel repulsed by the actions of a few bullies. Where did respect go? It would seem that it has gone down the tubes with manners, kindness and discipline. You know who you are and I will gladly listen to your side of the story.



RESPECT
http://http://www.thefreedictionary.com/respect

Disclaimer- this is in no way intended to offend my readers. It's only my opinion.

Little Friends

The blurred things in the picture are my dogs, Suzie, my lab and Carmen, my dobberman...

I could not believe that the does were out this early in our woods. How cool is that?

This stand holds the corn for the deer, but a critter knocked it over.

Hubs came in this afternoon with the night camera and much to our delight we had some interesting visitors last evening. Tonight we are going to sit out on the deck in hopes of seeing them in person. This is a wonderful moment because we both love animals and nature so much. I am thankful for the pictures of our little does.

Who Stole My Joy?

As of late, I am trying to find a little part of me where joy remains eternal. I do not know how it eludes me from time to time, but it has and I am looking for it. Most of the time I am a very happy person. Today, I hurt. It has been raining this week and that may have something to do with it. This is probably the reason I am feeling this way. I don't like to give it any power over my life.

I feel a bit melancholy today and reminiscent of things past. I am not sad, but I don't have my usual joy either. Do you ever get a case of the don'ts? I don't want to do anything. Sometimes this overwhelming sadness floods my being and I don't know what to do.

So for today, I will get off my computer. I will just make myself put one foot in front of the other and push through this day because tomorrow has to be better. I'll see you later.

The Queen's Meme #10 ~ The Tick-Tock Meme
Welcome to The Queen's Meme #10.A Tuesday meme posted early this week
Sometimes silly. Sometimes serious. Always fun!
Step out of the box. Be creative. Use your imagination. No one's answers are quite like yours.
And please, stay out of the dungeon.You don't want to go there.
The Tick-Tock Meme

1. Are you a Rolex watch, a Mickey Mouse watch, or a pocket watch? Definitely not a Mickey Mouse watch, though some would argue that point. Not a pocket watch because it would be too dark in that pocket for me. I would probably fall into the Rolex category, but I am never going to spend that kind of money on one. All I really need is a good time piece that is waterproof. Of course, I do have several watches to choose from because I need a change from time to time.

2. Can you think of a time when you couldn't see the forest for the trees? I tend to have tunnel vision a lot of the time and besides I am short, so I couldn't see too much.

3. Can you think of a time when you were on the outside looking in? What did you see? I have always been on the outside looking in and frankly there was not much to see, except a couple of weirdos do the Cha cha cha and laughing out loud, boorishly loud. See I told you so!

4. Go back in time. Maybe a long time ago, maybe today. Pick an hour you'd like to freeze frame forever and tell us why. It doesn't have to be THE most important hour of your life, but make it a good one. The best years of my life were when our kids were little. I have committed to memory those treasured days and wish for the holidays to be frozen in time, especially when they still believed in Santa.

5. If you were a cuckoo clock, what would others say about you? Shuuuttt uuuppp! Pulzeeee!

6. Can you think of a time when time stood still? The day my mother died. The day my best friend died, the day my grandmother died, the day my grandfather died. The day my mother-n-law died and the day my father-n-law died.

7. Watch this! You are a stopwatch. What would you stop? I would stop the world from turning so fast. Life goes by in the blink of an eye. Slow down just a little bit. What's the rush?

8. Imagine you were just born and have infinite wisdom. After the doctor smacks your newborn dust ruffle you look around and say to the Universe: "Give me a whole lifetime to do "this" and I will bless the day I was born." What did you choose? I would like to be a musician like Stevie Vaughn and play Tick Tock. I just had to work that in some how. It wouldn't matter as long as I could be creative in some way, shape or form.

Timber...

Timber...there she falls! Trees were moving and shaking from the sight of Hubs' John Deer tractor. It is a mighty might as far as a small tractor goes.

Yesterday was an eventful day. Hubs has been working in the back removing dead trees to burn. I go outside to find that he has turned the tractor on its side. Thankfully he was not hurt. This was a site to see. I didn't have a battery pack for my camera, so no pictures of this event.

I am sure that today he will be the talk of his work place and that he will take a lot of ribbing from this. He called some friends from work and they came and got the tractor up right.

Hubs has not been very lucky as of late. Let's see, last year before we moved here, he was cutting down a dead pine tree when it broke off and marked his forehead with a Z like Zorro. Forty stitches later. Then a couple of weeks ago he is moving trees again and one small tree falls on his forehead. No stitches this time, but it did knock him unconscious. I did not know about because I was inside the house. I ask him if the dogs licked him in the face or tried to rescue him. No such luck.

Let's hope that he has a good week with no accidents.

Father's Day

This day has always been difficult for me because my father left our mother and us for another woman. He replaced us with another family and children. I can't imagine what it would have been like to have a father around. I can't relate.

I Can Feel It In The Air

Today was overcast and cloudy with heavy thunder storms this morning. There was a huge crack of thunder that shook my house. The dogs bound to their feet to bark at the maddening noise that stirred them from their deep slumber. As I left to drive to work, I pulled off to the shoulder as I met three volunteer fire trucks heading in the opposite direction. Never imagining where they were going.


It would not be until later that afternoon that I would find out where they were headed. Evidently, the thunder struck a salt water disposal tank and it burned down to the ground. Where we live in east Texas, there are oil tanks, tank batteries, and pumping jacks in every direction you turn not to mention natural gas pipelines. It is apparent that oil and gas reigns here as my husband's job is dependant upon it.


This place we call home now has so many good people. But yesterday, there was a man that was served divorce papers by his wife. He took her off to an oil well lease with the intentions of killing her. Some how by the grace of God, she did escape, but he was shooting at her as she was running away. Luckily, someone stopped their car and helped her get away. Their daughter attends high school and they locked the school down because he had threatened to kill her as well. The wife is in the hospital with a bullet to her arm. The husband went back to the oil well lease and took his life. This is not the usual in this small town. My husband's boss called him to check on the situation and people were sent to the oil lease.

I guess you can see why I don't always blog. You can not escape crime even in a small town of 2600 people. The next largest town is Shreveport, La. and I have stopped watching the news because of all of the crime. A police officer told me that Shreveport is safer now than twenty-six years ago. Gee, that makes me feel better. It seems that the news channels are right on any crime or murder because it keeps people watching the news. What happened to the good news? When someone saved an elderly woman's life or something positive happened? Times are so different now. Are people indifferent to all of this crime? Does crime affect your town?


On a brighter note I noticed today some signs of change. While sitting outside on my deck this afternoon, I can feel that soon Autumn will come soon. The sun shines softer as it shimmers through the leaves of the trees. If you look close enough, you can see the gradual turning of the leaves. It is so subtle that you could miss it. It begins with the saffaras trees. Their leaves turn first in the season from bright yellow to orange then red. It is like a beautiful symphany of sounds and colors that twirl in a soft gentle circular downward spiral. On a single whirl of the wind they fall purposely and very slowly in a long circling motion to the ground. It is awe inspiring to witness something so simple yet so powerful.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend and Labor Day Holiday.

A Texas Tradition...

With the return of school and football games starting, we now will be working on the Texas Homecoming Mum.

This is a phenomenon unto itself and yet not like any other thing you may have seen. Yes sir, football reigns every Friday night, but it is Homecoming that we are all about now.

The last couple of weeks we have been steadily cutting, stapling and gluing tons of ribbon, sparking things and trinkets together to bring you the Texas Homecoming Mum.

Not much has changed over the thirty years of making them. The kids still want big and gaudy. I still encourage simple and tasteful, if there is such a thing. Thank goodness we are not putting lights on them as we did in the past or feathers.

I really do get a kick out of it all because it is such a

tradition. I really enjoy making them, but seeing the kids with them is the best part. This year we created a new mum called Safari. It is made with black and white Zebra print ribbon. It is so different. These are not my mums pictured, but they are from photobucket. It is a pretty good representation of what it is all about.

When I had my flower shop, we did all of the homecoming court, the cheerleaders, the drill team and so many others. So this tradition continues. This is what I am up to through Oct. 17th, then we turn our efforts to Thanksgiving and Christmas. Thanks for stopping by.

The Queen's Tuesday Meme #8 ~ The Bloggingham Love Shack
Warning: Hide the children!
There are love shenanigans in the dungeon.Welcome to The Queen's Meme #8.Step out of the box. Be creative. Have fun!
And please, stay out of the dungeon.I've tried to avoid this subject. It is the fickle fodder of many a meme these days. Romance, s*x, relationships and breakups are really nobody's business. Wouldn't you say? Or perhaps it's the questions that are too personal and a bit juvenile at times. Middle school smooching is not exactly the end all and be all of civilization. (Is it? I don't know. I seem to have forgotten.) To tell you the truth, I'm getting just a little sick of all the love shenanigans going on in the dungeon down below. I can hear you. You are all just a wee bit too happy if you ask me. If I didn't know better I'd swear you want to stay!But seriously, we could all use a little lot of romance in our lives. I promise not to ask questions that would make your mother blush. I suggest you tell her not to read your blog tomorrow.
Bloggingham Love Shack (aka The Romance Meme)

1. What is the craziest thing you've ever done in the name of love? As Meatloaf would say"I would do anything for Love"

2. How much mystery should there be in a relationship? Is it a good thing or not? In the beginning, there should be some mystery. It just keeps you going! Mystery as in are you always available for a date or mystery as in you've got a record a mile long and you have been in the big house?

3. Is there someone in the blogosphere you'd like to get to know more intimately? Have you been too shy to ask? Let me help you. Write a 3 sentence anonymous blove letter to them in this meme. Leave a link if you dare. (I promise not to tell!)"Dear Blogger, I've been meaning to tell you for the longest time that I ___________etc etc"
Or if you wish, do some matchmaking instead. "Dear Blogger #1 and Blogger #2, I think you would be perfect for each other. This is why..." I am not going there with the match making, although, if you had someone in mind I would connect the two of you.


4. Describe a "perfect evening" with the one you love. When we were young we would go to dinner and then a movie, when we had kids we would entertain with our friends and our kids. When the kids left home we could run around the house naked if we wanted. Now that we are old our perfect evening is to cook some sort of healthy meal and watch TV.

5. If you are in a relationship, describe the one thing that makes it work well for you. If you are not in a relationship, do you want to be? If so, what type of romance are you looking for? What would it look like in your life? I am still trying to figure this out after all these years!


6. If you had to choose between having good s*x (I told you not to let your mother read this) OR intelligent conversation on a regular basis, which would you choose and why?and finally.....a purely selfish question: An intelligent conversation is over rated, don't you think? LOL!

7. I've got the Bloggingham Blues. What type of man is right for Queen Mimi Pencil Skirt? Do any of you see love in her foreseeable future? What do you suggest I do to spice up my love life? What am I doing wrong???? Maybe one of those big guys that is a wrestler. He could grab hold of you and never let you go. Then you couldn't get away and run for the woods. That's it, I am not giving any more advice and yes, I see love in your future. Keep being Mimi, wear those cute pencil skirts, those high heels and that pretty smile. Also, add some nutmeg and cinnamon to spice up your life.
