That's exactly where they're putting them in here Still it keeps the locals busy -planting flowers in the middle for the teenagers tio drive over, and going to meetings about getting instructions posted, stop signs installed, roundabouts removed.....

There also seems to be a fad at new high schools for building a ring road around them, with a roundabout at every parking lot entrance point and every exit point. It's a bit Hotel California-ish becasue on the way in, you just head for the building, but on the way out.......

I spend a lot of time in the hospital and in Dr.s offices and have been in the hospital a lot lately.
When you are in the damn hospital two things really suck about it.

You can't leave.
You really don't want to piss-off the people keeping you alive/caring for you, depending on your trip.

Same goes for the Dr's. office to a smaller degree.

Every time I'm in the hospital and often in the hospital I get preached at and I'm fucking sick of it. These hospitals get state funding, there has to be a separation of Church and State issue here.
No I do not want to "pray about it". If I thought that a god intervened in people's lives he/she/they/it would have done this to me to begin with and they can suck my dick for a month.
On the same note, nor do I think "the lord loves me", if it does, I could give two shits. (given, if I thought there was one)
They, sometimes, believe it or not, ask me "if I've found Jesus?", I usually give some half answer that they always take as affirmation because it is what they want to hear.
This is not nurses alone, Dr.s & techs do this all the time, it's f***ing crazy.
Do your job people.
A person's spirituality is personal and none of anyone's damn business.
The crazy thing is that I don't have anything put on my chart, so they know I'm not a Christian, or I would have had them put it there.
They see someone in horrible pain, dealing with the stuff I deal with and they want to chat about religion, recruiting?
The quickest way I can think of to turn someone off of it... this from me who has studied it for over twenty years. Sick, just sick.
I'm not talking once a trip, I'm talking daily, several times.
Dr. visits are not so often, but it comes up with fair regularity.
The message of Christ is dead.

That sucks, rkzenrage.

Is there any way possible you can see humor in their crap?

"I didn't have to find Jesus, he hog-tied me and dragged me over to you all"

(You still cut quite a handsome figure, by the way )

I found Jesus, he was mowing my lawn.

The "Today Show" annoys the living shit out of me.
