Alone

Alone I sleep,
And alone I wake,
Alone I dream,
And alone I ache,

Alone I live,
And alone I cry,
Alone I think,
And alone I'll die,

Alone I try,
And alone I fall,
Alone I fail,
And alone I crawl,

Alone I break,
And alone I sit,

Alone I was,
Alone I am,
And alone I'll always be.

YOU MAY BE A NURSE IF... (please add your own funny comment!)

YOU MAY BE A NURSE IF...

You believe that every patient needs TLC: Temazepam, Lorazepam and Chlorpromazine

You would like to meet the inventor of the nurse call-buzzer system night in a dark alley.

You believe not all patients are annoying, some are unconscious.

You know the phone number of every late night delivery place by heart.

When asked by the doctor what colour the patient's diarrhoea was, you show
them your shoes.

If they missed your shoes, you use the well known "poo curry colour scale" ranging from chicken Korma to Spinach Vindaloo.

You can identify the different causes of diarrhoea by the smell.

Your sense of humour gets more warped every year.

The kids get their presents in TED stockings, and NHS pillowcases. Anybody's
presents are usually wrapped with Micropore or Transpore tape.

Almost anything can seem funny? eventually.

Every time you walk you make a jingling noise because of all the scissors, keys and clamps in your pockets.

You can tell the pharmacist more about the medication they are dispensing than they know.

You check the caller ID on your day off to see if anyone from work is trying to call and beg you to work.

You've been telling stories in a restaurant and made someone at another table throw up.

You don't get concerned about blood unless it's your own.

You notice that you are using more 4-letter words than you did before you started nursing.

Every time someone asks you for a pen you can find at least 4 of them on you. Most of them have laxative drug names written on them.

You've basted your Christmas turkey with a 50ml syringe

You refuse to watch Casualty because its too much like the real thing or it
triggers flashbacks, or; Your family refuse to let you watch Casualty
because you spend the whole time correcting everyone and everything, and
pointing out mistakes like upside down x-rays.

You have seriously considered catheterising yourself before a clubbing
night, or your children before a long car journey.

You've told a confused patient that your name was that of your colleague and to scream if they need help.

Eating microwave popcorn or crisps out of a clean bedpan/sick bowl is
perfectly normal.

Your bladder can expand to the size of a Winnebago's water tank.

You avoid unhealthy looking shoppers in the shopping centre for fear that
they will drop near you and you'll have to do CPR on your day off.

You hate to get dressed in "real clothes" because scrubs are what you live
in, and why can't they make jeans that comfortable.

You find yourself checking other peoples veins in the supermarket

When checking a patients orientation, YOU don't know if its night or day,
or what day/year/month it is.

You often stay awake for 24+ hours at a time when you work nights and
realise that you don't need drugs or alcohol to hallucinate; just lack of
sleep.

You pull over in a lay-by after nights because you are too tired to drive
home. You only wake up when someone is banging on your window because they
think you've had a stroke when the see the trail of dribble sliding down
the window

Your finger has gone places you never thought possible.

You have seen more penises than any prostitute has.

***
Anymore? Add your own and pass them back to me!

Red Friday

Last week I was in West London attending a conference.

While I was in the airport, returning home, I heard several people behind me beginning to clap and cheer.

I immediately turned around and witnessed one of the greatest acts of patriotism I have ever seen.

Moving through the terminal was a group of soldiers in their uniforms, as they began heading to their gate everyone (well almost everyone) was abruptly to their feet with their hands waving and cheering.

When I saw the soldiers, probably 30-40 of them, being applauded and cheered for, it hit me. I'm not alone. I'm not the only red blooded Briton who still loves this country and supports our troops and their families. Of course I immediately stopped and began clapping for these young unsung heroes who are putting their lives on the line everyday for us so we can go to school, work, and enjoy our home without fear or reprisal.

Just when I thought I could not be more proud of my country or of our service men and women a young girl, not more than 6 or 7 years old, ran up to one of the male soldiers.

He knelt down and said 'hi,' the little girl then asked him if he would give something to her daddy for her.

The young soldier didn't look any older than maybe 22 himself, said he would try and what did she want to give to her daddy.

Suddenly the little girl grabbed the neck of this soldier, gave him the biggest hug she could muster and then kissed him on the cheek.

The mother of the little girl, who said her daughters name was Courtney, told the young soldier that her husband was a Corporal and had been in Afghanistan for 5 months now.

As the mum was explaining how much her daughter, Courtney, missed her father, the young soldier began to tear up.

When this temporarily single mum had finished explaining her situation, all of the soldiers huddled together for a brief second.

Then one of the other servicemen pulled out a military looking walkie- talkie.

They started playing with the device and talking back and forth on it. After about 10-15 seconds of this, the young soldier walked back over to Courtney, bent down and said this to her, 'I spoke to your daddy and he told me to give this to you.'

He then hugged this little girl that he had just met and gave her a kiss on the cheek.

He finished by saying 'Your daddy told me to tell you that he loves you more than anything and he is coming home very soon.'

The mum at this point was crying almost uncontrollably and as the young soldier stood to his feet he saluted Courtney and her mum.

I was standing no more than 6 feet away as this entire event unfolded.

As the soldiers began to leave, heading towards their gate, people resumed their applause.

As I stood there applauding, and looked around, there were very few dry eyes, including my own.

That young soldier in one last act of moment turned around and blew a kiss to Courtney with a tear rolling down his cheek.

We need to remember everyday all of our soldiers and their families and thank God for them and their sacrifices.

At the end of the day, it's good to be British.

RED FRIDAYS

Very soon, you will see a great many people wearing Red every Friday. The reason? Britons who support our troops used to be called the "silent majority". We are no longer silent, and are voicing our love for God, country and home in record breaking numbers. We are not organised, boisterous or over-bearing. We get no liberal media coverage on TV, to reflect our message or our opinions. Many Britons, like you, me and all our friends, simply want to recognise that the vast majority of Britons in the United Kingdom supports our troops.

Our idea of showing solidarity and support for our troops with dignity and respect starts this Friday -and continues each and every Friday until the troops all come home, sending a deafening message that.. Every red-blooded Briton who supports our men and women afar will wear something red. By word of mouth, press, TV - let's make the United Kingdom on every Friday a sea of red much like a homecoming football game.

If every one of us who loves this country will share this with acquaintances, colleagues, friends, and family. It will not be long before the UK is covered in RED and it will let our troops know the once "silent" majority is on their side more than ever; certainly more than the media lets on.

The first thing a soldier says when asked "What can we do to make things better for you?" is...We need your support and your prayers.

Let's get the word out and lead with class and dignity, by example; and wear something red every Friday...

THEIR BLOOD RUNS RED

Lest we Forget.
