CIJS,
I don't get panhandled very often. So, you had that working in your favor. I saw you come into the vestibule. Yeah, you're good looking, and your parka couldn't hide it. I also noted your unusual means of travel, too. I knew something was up.
You asked to borrow $5. I said "no" but you can have $5. I wanted to write my phone number on the bill but decided not too. I had a fiver in my pocket for the valet (didn't use that service that occasion) so he didn't see where or what was in my wallet. Yeah, 30 years of 12 Stepping and I know I'm essentially in a meeting situation.
I wonder if you could possibly admit any problem, or any combination of problems that would surprise me?
I decide "No, not a chance."
We share small talk for maybe 10 minutes. He is handsome, as he thaws the parka loosens, scarf unwinds, yeppers, he's a looker.
Anyhow, soon enough a bare wisp of a woman comes out of the hospital and into the vestibule and they embrace. He looks 25-30, I'm sure she's similar in age but looks almost 40. She's had a hard life. I've seen variations on her life for 30 years. And he's catching up too though. Soon enough she asks why I'm there and I say a follow up. She shares her mom is there for lymphoma and isn't doing well at all.
Suddenly I realize from how he described his situation and her comments the young couple lives with her mom, but she's in a senior housing project and when she's not there to buzz them in, they are homeless. She is getting by with the help of hospital staff, essentially living at the hospital, but apparently boyfriend isn't allowed inside the hospital proper anymore at all.
Tough jam to be in, especially in this cold snap.
I gather he is lodged in a detached garage at a relatives house. He rides a bike to get around. They are bound together in this mess, but I don't see how they get out of this jam, especially if her mom dies.
Anyhow, they excused themselves outside. I figured for a ciggy break and I was right, and they shared a single one. My ride arrived soon enough, and as I left, I gave them a McDonalds gift card. There is one just a couple blocks away if they want. I got repeated Merry Christmases !
I'm saying the Serenity Prayer (my version) on their behalf as I leave.
I can't go to 12 Stepper meetings for a while, and one found me . . .
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Thena: Found my patent leather boots.
So fuck you, snow.
Snow: No, fuck you. You're going to be extremely understaffed tomorrow.
Probably won't be able to leave, either. Trust me, evening shift "won't be able to make it in".
Ha ha...I win!

CIJS -
You are a fucking drama queen who needs to grow the fuck up. The fact that you are emotionally unstable does not give you the right to try and guilt trip my kid because you didn't get what you wanted. You were told several times that it wasn't a good day to day and tomorrow wasn't looking good either. I will not re-arrange my schedule to soothe your hurt ego. Get over it. I also told you three times that I did not want to be put in the middle of it, yet you failed miserably to comprehend that, even when spelled out for you. And then you had the sheer audacity to get your mother involved, not even bothering to let her know that YOU were the one who started all this shit. So she ends up blowing up my son's phone with messages of her own.
We were good to you. We opened up our home to you. And this is what you do in return?
You get no more chances here and you are not welcome in my house any more.
And in case you were thinking about getting my other half on your side - he's already been filled in on the situation.

CIJS?
Much thanks, various total strangers, for coming to my aid after getting stuck no less than three times.
You folks are kind and selfless as hell. Strong, too!
Thanks, boss, for donning your scrubs, getting down in the trenches, and doing some actual nursing when the chips were down; Not every administrator will.
It commanded admiration and respect, further inspiring those who risked much to make it in, to dig deeper, push harder, and get it done.
You are indeed, still very much a Superwoman.

Thank you for being my friend. Thank you for listening when I didn't have words. Thank you for holding me when I cried in despair. Thank you for making sense out of chaos. Thank you for loving me when others abandoned. Thank you for allowing me to love you even though others said it was wrong. I would never have survived with out your love. It's with my deepest gratitude I say thank you to my God for not abandoning me, as you were there when I needed you most. I will never forget what you did and I will love you forever!
My girlfriend thinks I'm a stalker. Well...she's not my girlfriend "yet".
I discovered a new vitamin that fights cancer. I call it ...B9
I also invented a diet pill. It works great but had to quit taking it because of the side effects. Turns out my penis is larger and my hair grew back. And whoa! If you think my hair is nice!
When does size truly matter? When it's TOO big!
I'm currently working on a new pill I call "Destenze". However...now my shoes don't fit.

This is either touching or disturbing, depending on the object. (object is still a sentence thing, right?)
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
