    I love my Best Card Ever, too.
    It's sitting with black Santa riding an alligator that is wearing reindeer antlers.
    Twenty-seven years of school and not one holiday card comes addressed to Dr. Noodle. All Mr and Mrs... Don't get me wrong, I love being Mrs. Noodle, but dammit Jim

    I got one addressed yesterday to Mr. and Mrs. Snowy, even though my name at work is my maiden name (kids are stalkers).

    Saturday, 12-20-14, the start of Christmas travel.

    So what to the Highway Construction geniuses do?

    They completely shutdown all northbound lanes along a section of I-45 N. Which is the main artery out of Houston going north.

    Jadzia never changed her name (all her professional credentials were in her maiden name) so we got a lot of cards from work that said Mr. and Mrs. Jadzia Dax.

    I always respected how much trouble she went to find out what faith her coworkers were so she would give the right cards (or none to the Jehovah's Witness and Buddhist).

    You wanna be a hero??

    So think about this...how willing would you be to put your job at risk to save your fellow staff? (screw war, or life & death, something more subtle)
    Seriously...save, put your neck out to say, "Hey...this may hurt people. Hell, this IS hurting people" (but, of course...do it diplomatically...say, "I have concerns...there's a problem...")

    And that even if you're doing it the "right" way...the way they've posted the rules, the mindset...there may be still repercussions...may still put your job at risk.
    Could you do that?

    If not, would you be able to sleep, be in your own head...knowing that you could have prevented harm to another? (especially one under your authority?)

    Or if so...would you able to resolve yourself of the impact you did to your life...saving others??

    How about if you're not even thinking yourself a hero...but you just don't want someone hurt...being pushed to the brink even.

    How many can live with themselves, knowing that they allowed someone in harm's way?
    Most rationalize it...some can't, they live with reality, they have a memory...
    So they have to act.

    That's a hero, someone who's not thinking themselves a hero, someone who just does it...ignoring the risk to themselves.

    How many heroes are still dealing with the impact to their lives from saving others??
    Interesting question.

    I know some...you know what they say, "No good deed goes unpunished".
    It ain't Hollywood, folks.
    The music isn't going to play when the bad thing is going on.
    Could you see it?
    Would you act?
    Could you deal?

    My organs feel badly bruised, just doing basic tasks is exhausting and leaves me breathless, and I can't remember too much of thursday or friday... which is probably because I spent a good 20-30ish hours bedridden and not eating or drinking. What in the hell did I catch?

    Da flu.
    It's ravaging much of Florida.
    Hubs had it last weekend.
    He crossfits 5 days a week, just got back from 71 miles on the AT in under 6 days.
    He didn't get out of bed for 52 hours except to shower and go to the bathroom. I changed the sweaty sheets 3 times... He was so feverish at one point that he tried to punch me for leaving him with our 10 kids and the nanny. Poor guy.

    I am busy. I don't want to talk to you. Why are you talking to me? My back is turned toward you and I am not engaging you. I have work to do. You probably do too. Do your damn job and STFU so I can do mine.

    Oddly I didn't register a fever the entire time. At most I was one subjective degree above my usual 96ish. I did get the whole gamut of hot/cold sweats and everything though.

    I think his system went into nuclear meltdown. He's never had a fever that bad before. He rarely gets one at all. He said he felt like there was rust in his joints. When I caught it a month ago, I was fairly sure I was dying. But no stomach problems

    35 Yrs Stan? I'd intentionally sit that woman down and coach her though it, like a tutor.

    I may not be cut out for suburban living. Had a run-in with a bully mom and dad at the park today.

    My sister was doing some shopping at Walmart for me today and she said they were already pulling down Christmas decorations and items for sale on one aisle, and putting up Valentine's decorations.

    That's retail for you, always have to to be two months ahead of the curve.
    Then of course you get people who come in the night before and wonder why there's nothing left.

    Unfortunately I'm still agonizing over the situation. Barely slept last night because of it. Their words were very hurtful and downright shocking. I have no idea how to handle these situations.

    It happens. Give it right back. Or just say, "You're being ridiculous, but apparantly you can't see that. I have no time or patience for ridiculous people."

    Hey, an idea--If you'll handle my SIL I'll handle your bullies.

    The last part sounds like the way my dad shopped for Christmas. Looking back, it was kinda awesome what he found to give us.
