Surviving Minnesota!

This conversation seems a little sexist on the day our University has done away with Homecoming King and Queen in favor of "royals" because the words King and Queen imply a certain sex.......



Snowflakes are falling hard on the West Bank is my guess....

Spethal ones?

When I was little on the resort I definitely had more fun building forts with the boys versus dolls with the girls. We ere outdoor kids in the summer for sure though too.
Nursing you get alot of women in the work place. Uff da is all I can say. Best nursing job was in St. Cloud with a male nurse as my partner for a dr. In a specialty. We laughed all day long. Gosh it was fun. But then other clinic jobs up here... it could be quite catty.

I think I'm a person that can work alone also-- or I prefer alone time. That's why I like crafting. It's me time. DD is the same. She will pick a quiet weekend at home vs. having friends over. Lol.

Morning and a cold one here . Warm up starts tomorrow . I saw Robbins yesterday along the road to the grain elevator . Looking for grain is my guess . Hard to find worms through 4 inches of snow . Sun did melt some yesterday .

I thought you like mushrooming time with us! I am so hurt to find you would rather be alone....

Good Morning Chickeners . . . .

THANK YOU! I always thought something was wrong with me i.e., like I am an introvert, or why do I not like hangin with the women? Well, I have worked on that part and yet have a long, long, way to go about hangin with the women. I cannot shop for hours on end. More of an in and out person - know what I am looking for - nope, thats not it - and out. Drama - OMG! the drama. I remember working with eight women for a number of years. It kind of broke me in to the fear of being around them. But that quiet (because we were in an office) scream when something excited happened. Ouuuweeee. Whats that about? I really appreciated this conversation.

Oh - I took a piddely little job in the local grocery store deli to get away from the DH. Part-time. Of course, many women. I kept my mouth shut and listened and watched. After about a year the two witches started to ask my opinion on people, happenings etc. I told them that they did not pay me enough to have an opinion. Then they would laugh with me, ***** to me about someone else (who cares?) and if something was not real kosher that they were doing or saying I walked away. So I have worked with women. I just prefer to work alone also.

The screaming is what really ticks me off. You scream if a human is in danger of becoming disabled or killed by the events starting to unfold, and that's it, for goodness sakes.

This is the very thing I am afraid of when the weather teases with warm breezes and then changes its mind and goes back to the bitter force of cold. Snarky people. The reason we become so is because we have had enough! No one cares one bit about probation or double probation. Probation be ******! We Want Those Warm Breezes Back that teased us! And now, Ralphie, you tell us we are far (even a day is far) from them . . . . Its enough to make a person want to mix up some Mojitos just to fight back against all the weariness of the weather.
