    Davey Do replied to The0Walrus's topic in General Nursing

    Once again, thank you all for the empathy, kind words, and support. I broke a cardinal rule of mine and that was to allow myself to emotionally blurt out, online, any news of personal paramount...

    Elvis recorded a sweet syrupy song titled "Mama Liked the Roses". I came up with parodies like "Mama Liked to Tear the Wings Off Of Flies" and such. One of my favs was "Mama Liked the Stink
