An EMT friend of mine once admiringly took my hand gently in his, and told me it would be his pleasure to run an IV for me, any time I wanted.

Now tagless for your comfort.
ita, I wish your veins would cooperate. I feel so badly for you when they have to do this.
Superbowl Sunday. DH didn't like the boneless ribs I got to do pulled pork and insisted on pork shoulder--so he's out at the store now.

Because books.
No one can ever put an IV in me, which I don't understand. I'm very fair and you can see all these blue veins *right there*! I don't get it. I hate it when they have to put it in the back of my hand, too. ::shudders::
Sorry about the ER trip, ita. And the lack of plow, Sparky. My parents are SW of Philly and they got hammered, too.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I am filled with complete and utter longing for that show.
ME TOO. It looks like it was playing on the history channel, at some point, so maybe it will again.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Mac just got busted with yet another new to him ds game that he traded for (I hope). He was clearly told no more trading last week, so the new game he was going to get for v-day and our trip to TX, that is no more. So now I have a truly pissed off little boy in church with me. Good times.

Our wings are not tired.
I have horrible veins, but at least I rarely need to expose them to needles. I think I only had an IV once. The zillion times I have had blood drawn I tell them up front that I will need the best sticker in the joint and point out the one and only vein that will yield anything. Continuing to send messages to the universe that ita needs a permanent pain solution that doesn't involve the ER.
Be careful out there, snowbound peeps. I'm enjoying the pictures very much as long as you stay safe.
It is a lovely day here for the Superbowl. Guess I should start getting ready.

Nurse couldn't find a vein in the back of my hand before my surgery, so I had the drip in my elbow. it was painful.
ION, it is GORGEOUS out. Clear blue skies, and practially warm temperatures. I was wearing a flannel shirt, a tshirt and inside pants and stood outside for 5 minutes chatting with some neighbors (think they're a gay couple, they were adorable). We also saw a guy in short sleeved shirt and shorts. We think that he was coming back from the gym though.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Jilli is to spiders as I am to needles. ARGH.

It is here too, or at least NotCloudy&Raining. I think this means I need to go for a drive.
