Cultures & Groups - 18 December 2007

I work at a retirement home serving senior citizens their breakfeast and lunch.

Now I see this resident sitting there at her table.

She sat at that table for about 6 and a half hours.
The nurses didn't pick up this resident and she can't say much because she's 99 years old.

But this kind of thing gets me mad when the nurses won't pick up a person and make her wait. I consider that neglect.

What can I do to help her out so that this won't happend again?

that YA is so popular? I first came here because there was nothing decent on TV and then, I guess, I got hooked. For me it makes my brain work - a good thing. And its a little like having a conversation ... albeit a short one ... with an intellegent friend. How about you?

But what's with the scores? Are there any advantages to having a really high one other than the 'king of the hill' factor? And if you're naturally inquisitive (as ( am), how do you ever reach such high scores. I lose as much as I gain most days by asking questions.

Please keep in mind I am one,but let's just suppose that nature is perfecting it's own genetic form of population control?It makes sense that not all men or women procreate because there would be just too many people...So what if the genetic code for homosexuality is one that is staged to appear at random as natures way of recognizing that perpetuation of our species is not a constant priority and allows for same sex attractions???It would define a purpose in the scheme of things in my opinion.But I would like to know if anyone could give it some thought and let me know what you think.

The first says: "Aye, this is a nice bar, but where I come from, there's a better one. At MacDougal's, you buy a drink, you buy another drink, and MacDougal himself will buy your third drink!"
The second then starts: "That sounds like a nice bar, but where I come from, there's a better one called Vinny's. At Vinny's, you buy a drink, Vinny buys you a drink. You buy another drink, Vinny buys you another drink."
Then the third pipes up. "You think that's good? Where I come from, there's this place called Murphy's. At Murphy's, they buy you your first drink, they buy you your second drink, they buy you your third drink, and then, they take you in the back and get you laid!"
"Wow!" say the other two. "That sounds fantastic! Did that actually happen to you?" "No," replies their friend, "but it happened to my sister

A golfer is in a competitive match with a friend, who is ahead by a couple of strokes. The golfer says to himself, "I'd give anything to sink this next putt."

A stranger walks up to him and whispers, "Would you give up a fourth of your sex life?"

The golfer thinks the man is crazy and that his answer will be meaningless. At the same time he thinks this might be a good omen, so he says, "Okay," and sinks the putt. Two holes later he mumbles to himself, "Boy, if I could only get an eagle on this hole."

The same stranger moves to his side and says, "Would it be worth another fourth of your sex life?"

The golfer shrugs and says, "Sure." He makes an eagle. On the final hole, the golfer needs yet another eagle to win. Though he says nothing, the stranger moves to his side and says, "Would you be willing to give up the rest of your sex life to win this match?"

The golfer says, "Certainly!" He makes the eagle.

As the golfer walks to the club house, the stranger walks alongside and says, "You know, I've really not been fair with you because you don't know who I am. I'm the devil, and from now on you will have no sex life."

"Nice to meet you," says the golfer. "My name's...
Father O'Malley!"

People will still ask stupid questions like so what kind of Chinese are you? Japanese? Korean? or Chinese?

Why is America so clueless about East Asians. Do they hate them or what? They love the girls, but seem to love to bash the guys.

Guys--if you don't mind being called that--I have question. Why do gay men so frequently adopt a lisp? Is it intended to make them more feminine?
