Ask "a sick bastard who isn't going anywhere today anyway" something

[purpledove]

Thanks. I verified through Google before you answered because I was curious as to what the heck an LVN was. It's still a possibility for me to pursue. My stepmom was an RN and, like I said earlier, my sister is going to school to become an LPN/LVN. I'm kicking the idea around. At least, I was until PurpleDove kindly opened my eyes to something I've never looked into, so now my direction is uncertain, but hey, this PurpleDove is something else! I've got newfound worlds of respect for her for enlightening me! :thumbup

Thanks! and am sorry for having to confuse you! Not my intention of course

I am an RN-BSN and have worked private and County hospitals. I had that same thinking like you did until I worked with the State hence I learned about Psych Techs. Good luck! :thumbup

Just think of how many 50s and 60s American cars I can buy making $33.75/hr!!!!!!!
I'm drooling thinking about it.

dinner is being cooked..what is your favorite meal?

 

[FreightTrain]

Again, I'm a connoisseur of food (just as I am of Italy, music, and all things pertaining to my gf) so narrowing that down is not only impossible, but hurts my brain and diminishes a lit bit of my soul.

Still taking your questions. I'll be here for at least 1/2 a day anyway. I may into work this afternoon and work 1/2 day. 7 hours = 1/2 day in my line of work. I'm not sure how well I can work for those 7 hours, but I may be willing to give it a try if it's possible to start improving sometime this morning.

What do you like about 50's and 60's cars?

They were built in a time when America was soaring in manufacturing. America hasn't built much of anything since and I wouldn't own an American car built after 1980. I do like European cars built after America's automotive peak. They were built with nearly the same craftsmanship and passion. Not exactly the same, but 'nearly the same'. And, if you've ever sat in a '64 Thunderbird or had driven a '71 American pickup, you'd know the magnetism.

Oh! W0W! You must love automative so much eh? Good information to know :thumbup

I've seen a '64 Thunderbird @ a Vintage auto show- but have not ridden/driven one. I know though they've got solid body! Awesome.

Which European car makers are based from automotive peak?

 

[FreightTrain]

Italy seemingly peaked through its entire car-making history. So many Italian cars are crafted with precision and passion that I can't even begin to list specific models and years. I do have a collection of pics of some of my favorites on a recent Automotive thread. I also have some of my favorite American cars pictured on the In My Wildest Dreams Want List thread. Audi from early 80s - early 90s and again in recent years defined automotive perfection and driver satisfaction. BMW has had a long history of perfecting the driving experience, BUT many of them have proven to be unreliable vehicles over the years with overheating problems and various engine issues. Some great representations of Euro success stories would be the early VW Beetle, Audi Quattro 4000 and 5000, BMW 2002 (that's not the year!), Jaguar E-Type, and 80s Ferraris such as the Testarossa, F40, and GTO (to begin a list of Italian perfection).

23. There's a mysticism around certain numbers like 7, 12, 13, etc. Numbers that add up to 5 have had an impact on me. It happens that Michael 'Air' Jordan also chose the number 23 and Basketball had been forever changed. My favorite hockey player, Milan Hejduk, wears 23 and is fantastic at what he does. The movie, 'the Number 23' is a freaky one and really revealed a different side to the acting abilities of Jim Carey. When I was kid, it was 25 because all of the arcade games costed a quarter, but 23 is much more powerful.

I was born on the 23rd day of December and if you add up the numbers in my date of birth (23 12 1989) the number you get is 2,024 which is 88 x 23

And if you add up the letters in my name according to where they fall in the alphabet (K = 11, a = 1, t= 20, i = 9, e= 5) you get 46 which is 2 x 23.


I worked it all out after I watched the film

My favourite number is 5. Good things happen in 5s.

I like 23 too given it's Michael Jordan's number. I've never admired any basketball players after him. Given i live in California now, i still am pro- Chicago Bulls bcoz of what Jordan has done for his team during his time :thumbup

Who's your favourite basketball player now?

To ask a question- why do dogs get hiccups?

Dogs get hiccups like humans do--from blockage in the airway. This is typically caused by food. Many dogs eat like it's their last meals, so they get hiccups often. The hiccuping action forces the food down the throat, freeing up the airway.
