I Found My New Car!
Posted on October 29, 2005 by Brian under Wishlist.
That’s right. I found my new car. Its made by Mercedes Its compact and not in the US as of yet. But you can order them from Canada. They get about 60 MPG and its not a Hybrid, just straight fuel. I love it!
And to top it off, its small enough that if I get into a major wreck; it will double as a coffin!

I See Dead People!
Posted on October 24, 2005 by Brian under Life.
On Thursday I was at work taking calls like normal. One of the calls I took was from a customer that operated “Yoder Embalming Services”. She just needed to make a payment but since I only had a few min till my lunch I decided to talk to her a little. She said that I was very professional and that she really needed someone like me to work in her office. I asked her “Doing what!” she told me that the job would include a wide variety of things like embalming bodies, delivering them to the morticians for their final dress up and retrieving the bodies from the morgue. Their might be some other little jobs like answering the phones and speaking to police and clients and stuff. I thought to myself “This is the perfect job for me, No bitchy people complain about their service, No angry customer cursing ME out because THEY cant pay their bill and we are going to cut their service off, Just dead people, silence, no drama, just dead people. I asked the woman what happen to the person that she had before, since she said she needed someone professional I assumed that she must have recently let go a person that was not. She said that the last guy was let go because he would do things like get stoned, turn on the answering machine and then go have sex with his girlfriend in the embalming room, or in the delivery van or anywhere else he could find (Ok, that’s just gross). She said that he would also carry a gun with him (like the dead people are going to get up and mug him, what the heck do you need a dammed gun for) and finally I guess the thing that pushed her over the edge was that he delivered a load of bodies to the Mortuary and told the man their “Dude, get-em while their cold”. Me, I found that part a little funny, but evidently morticians don’t have a sense of humor. I finally decided this morning that I would not do it. My wife was concerned about the smell and I know for a fact that I would definitely smell from that job working with decaying bodies and chemicals. I wanted to ensure that I would have a wife to come home too. So instead I will continue with my endeavor to get a better job threw perseverance and applying at every possible acceptable position available.

Brian’s Point of View
Posted on October 23, 2005 by Brian under Food and Drink, Reviews.
Now that you all have read my wife’s review on the restaurant, I will take a stab at the place. This way you have something that is a little more that just a one sided opinion. I found the toned down atmosphere to be very inviting. However, the T.V. that blasted sports in the bar portion of the building was a little distracting. If the place had been packed and the bar full it would have been expected, but their was no one in the bar (only a few couples in the entire place actually) this should have been a sign to turn down the volume till it was actually needed. The place was obviously new and still very sterile and clean. The decor was very subtle and not over done like PF Changs, and overall atmosphere was simple. Our hostess was new and still nervous and needing training (proper training) you could tell that the only reason she had the job was because she was the relative of one of the owners, or managers of the place, otherwise she would not have ever got the job. The food was actually very good. I liked the dumpling, I thought that they had a very good flavor and I was not thrown off by the amount of dough they used like my wife. I thought the filling was a little small but ample. Our main dish was not bad but I think they could have balanced it a little better. We ordered a triple meat meal that was supposed to have Beef, Chicken and Shrimp. Instead we were brought Chicken, Beef and 3 pieces of shrimp. Their could have been more here but I guess when everything is prepared in a somewhat large vat, you are left with little choice. Our server was very nice and very patient with us as far as our waiting for my parents to arrive. In the end our check was very good and not expensive at all (we did have to ask him to split the check, he did not ask nor offer) and the food was decent. The downplays were, We did not get any desert due to the fact that they ran out. This was very disconcerting, the waiter was not actually sure that they had anything and then checked. In my opinion, you should never run out of desert. As my wife stated, I wouldn’t go out of my way to avoid the place but I wouldn’t go out of my way to go to the place either.

Say What! Male Nurses in Panties!
Posted on September 19, 2005 by Brian under Life.
Being as several members of my family have worked in the medical profession at one point or another and I believe even some of them were considered “Nurses” by the standards of their time. I found this article to be very interesting and somewhat disturbing.
I found the following article at:http://www.petticoated.com/letter1704.htm
A recent letter from a male nurse describing his experience of being forced to wear female underwear was most interesting. The girls who did this to him and his roommate were absolutely right. For some time now I have been concerned over the appearance of my male nurses. Most uniform trousers are not opaque enough to camouflage the fly fronts of men’s jockey briefs. Bikini briefs look just as ridiculous because the low waist bands are frequently visible below the jacket half of the uniform. In addition, so many male nurses seem to insist on wearing ugly cotton t-shirts under their uniform tops. This strikes me as not unlike a woman who allows her slip to show. Equally-awful, as far as I’m concerned, are those ugly, bulky athletic socks that men have taken to wearing. They are never laundered completely white.
The whole subject came to a head several months ago when I went to hospital unexpectedly while visiting my parents. One of the nurses caring for me was an extremely competent, tall, good-looking male of about twenty five. In addition to his remarkable personal attributes, Danny’s appearance in his spotless uniform was nothing less than stunning. I tried to work out just what it was about him that distinguished him from his counterparts. First of all, there was no ugly t-shirt visible at his neckline, only smooth hairless skin with a beautiful plain gold chain around his neck. Most interesting was the fact that his polyester uniform pants had no fly down the front, only a single seam. Most surprising of all was the fact that there was no visual evidence showing through his trousers of any fly front on his briefs. This left me extremely curious.
However, my curiosity was short-lived. A day or two later Danny had to stoop over to clean up the mess I had accidentally made by knocking over my water glass. As he bent over, his uniform top rode up high enough to reveal about two inches of satiny white nylon panties. The thought that this gorgeous male nurse might be wearing women’s silk panties had never crossed my mind! Composing myself quickly I remarked softly, ‘I like your taste in underwear’. When there was no reply I decided to venture a question. ‘Do
you wear panties all the time?’ I asked, ‘Or just when you’re in uniform?’ As he slowly got back on his feet, Danny, his face beet red , said, ‘I have to wear them all the time. They’re the only underwear I’m allowed to have. My wife, who’s also a nurse, says that panties are what real nurses wear’.When I asked him what kind of socks he wore, Danny lifted his right leg to reveal a nice pair of white knee-high stockings which were sheer enough to give ample evidence that his legs were kept cleanly shaved. ‘Sometimes’, Danny added, ‘especially in cold weather, my wife makes me wear white tights in addition to my panties’.
At that point you could have knocked me over with a feather. Then it slowly dawned on me that here was the answer to the problem of the male nurse dress code that had been bothering me. The appearance of the uniform is being ruined because the wrong things are being worn with it, and under it. In addition to the obvious fact that women’s panties and stockings greatly enhance the appearance of any male nurse’s uniform, these garments provide a great psychological advantage as well. Nursing has traditionally been a female domain and, to my way of thinking, one in which we must keep the upper hand. If men wish to invade our territory, they must do so only on our terms. It occurs to me that having to wear women’s underwear is a good reminder to the boys that this profession rightly belongs to women. Surely no male who experiences the constant rubbing of silky panties and stockings against his hairless body will be able to forget who’s boss.
The one thing I have not yet solved is the problem of the hideous cotton t-shirt. I would be interested to know how your readers will react to my ideas, especially those in the nursing profession, both male and female. Let me make myself perfectly clear. I am boldly suggesting that we who are in positions of authority within the nursing profession take the necessary steps to design and enforce a new dress code for the males in our departments – something inoffensive, yet slightly girlish. Speak up, nurses, and let us hear your feelings!
Ms. R.L., HampsteadWhen this letter was originally published, nurses were still educated by the old apprenticeship system, and still wore proper nurses’ uniform. Today, when the education of nurses has been captured by the politically correct totalitarian left, the drop out rate for nurses has never been higher. Caring for patients, helping them to relax, and giving them the reassurance that you are patiently there when needed, has a genuinely curative effect, no doubt via some pathway involving the brain and the immune system of the body. Studies have been done which have shown that nurses wearing traditional uniform (dress, starched pinafore, nurses’ cap etc.) promote faster and better recovery than comparable patients overseen by the modern blue slacks-and-shirt nurses , whom elderly patients too often do not even recognize as nurses, much to the detriment of their health.
We need to restore nursing education to the system of forty years ago, restore hospital management to the Matron, and, if we are to have male nurses (and somehow they do not have the nurturing, healing effect of properly presented female nurses ) then by all means make their uniform somewhat feminine . But the really important thing today is to restore the female nurse’s uniforms efficient but caring femininity; that is a matter of urgency.

Now that I have read this I believe that if I were to ever visit a Hospital again and see a male nurse, I might get punched for asking “do you wear panties”…

And the world just keeps on spinning!
Posted on September 9, 2005 by Brian under Life.
Update to the world of things.
God’s pissed, the people of the hurricane are pissed, the coast line if fucked, gas prices are threw the roof, the economy is on the brink of total collapse and its a dammed miracle that we haven’t been nuked by some third world super power for button our nose into their business.
I tell you, the United States needs a good Civil War to bring our attention back to reality. We have been fighting other peoples wars for so long that the news isn’t news anymore, its just a freaking glorified reality TV special on every night at ten!
I’m ready for a global change, a major catastrophe that wakes this country up, hell 911 just made us point fingers and say “woe is me”. Don’t get me wrong, that was a dammed tragedy, but I don’t think its right that assholes out their capitalize on it by creating a freaking T.V. special on the plane crash victim’s portraying that they were hero’s and none of them were on the plane. Is the money they are making off that film going to the families, doubt it, but no one thinks of these things now adays.
Oh well, until the civil war starts I’ll just sit her patiently waiting, polishing my guns and counting my ammo!
