Share Your Saying

[angelique777]

i find that a lot of people who post have a lot of great saying attached to there post for example like

"i am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how i react to it." (charles swindoll) if you want to make god laugh, tell him your plans

i find it hard to go through everyones posting to find great saying so thought i start a tread so you can post yours and this way i can have a collection of saying all in one spot .........some of them are really funny, some are deep and make you think, some are sweet ...so please post and share your sayings since some of them are really great to read...........thanks angela

i have a long distance relationship with my boyfriend he is away so i love to write to him and add a little quote or story something to make him laugh or think or smile or just feel thought of so appreciate your contributions to my attempting to getting a collection thanks

I used to use these on e-mails, etc., but lately, I just say them to myself to keep myself on track.

Trying to get along with my ex is like trying to pick up nickels with my butt.

We had buttons at work that some instrument rep had brought in that said "hemmorhoids can be fun". Apparently whoever came up with THAT slogan had never had them.

(Me either, but sheesh)

"Ah, the patient doing that shaking thing again!" Student Paramedic

"It's called a SEIZURE!" ER Nurse

"Put em in room 10!" (Our physic room)

"We have a a line for 10." (Always a fun shift)

And my personal favorite "Your not that busy!" Said during a code, a full ER/WR, and two traumas en-route.

I can't remember who said these, but I really like them

"Duct tape is like the force; there's a light side and a dark side and it holds the universe together."

"God made dirt, and dirt hurts, so don't get it in your eye!"

"Happiness is like peeing your pants; everyone can see it, but only you can feel the warmth!"

These are just some of my favs! :)

"Given a long enough life span, everybody dies. So my job as a nurse of a terminal patient then is to treat death, give the patient a death that is as close to free from pain and discomfort as I can make it."

Myself (in an debate about titrating morphine gtt on semicomatose patient with dyspnea, still use this argument quite a lot.)

No problem, actually feel rather all blushy and pleased. Care of a terminal patient is a soapbox of mine.

You know you are having a bad day when you find a tampon behind your ear and cannot find your pencil.

I have to admit, I threw my pen in the sharps box one afternoon. In my pocket was the IV needle (the kind that when used, has no sharp sticking out, it's inside the plastic thing). THAT went into a sharps box lickety-split, as I realized where my pen was.
