I was just wondering why you picked your username? Is it a nickname? Is there a meaning behind it?
My username "made" is the first letters from myself, my husband and my kids. It spells MADE.
Molly, Asia, Dawn and Eric.
Let's hear yours!
Texas is where I'm from; Courgette is the word for zucchini in French--it's the first French word I learned, and I thought it was so pretty, my boyfriend (who is French-Canadian, and taught me the word to begin with) started using it as a private nickname. My French has much improved since then, but still, "Texas" is a good reminder of where I'm from, "Courgette" reminds me of where I'm going, and posting on allnurses reminds me who my fabulous colleagues are. :cheers:
I was lost in Boston when I first signed up as I had moved to the East coast and would get lost going to the grocery store! Then.....I loved Twilight :redbeathe from when I first read it in 2005 and the "Kids" at work always called me Mamma because I was their Mom at work and we worked nights...... Esme is the "Mother" of the vampire clan in the series......seemed really funny at the time......
Before I went into nursing, my mother was having severe chest pains one night. She refused to go to the ED, but I did call her doctor on his emergency line. I explained to him that she was having chest pain, was sweating and short of breath. He told me she probably had the flu and that she should "take two aspirin" and call him in the morning. Well, of course, she was having a heart attack as we later found out in the ED when the pain got to be too bad and she finally let us drive her to the hospital. After she recovered, it kind of became a family joke. Whenever anyone complained about being sick we would just wink and tell them to take two aspirin....
If he had told her take acetominophin (?sp) she may not have made it through the night!
Luckily it worked out well!
