The shut down thread

You speaking about the caveman era again aren't you.

The way that I remember it is that I was recently divorced, and 33, and the 2 nurses were 21. I can't remember what they were, is LPN some sort of beginning position? I remember they were cute, young, in shape, and fun.

I remember it being that way in my dream too.

Nurses. My god, nurses. Some of the best people on the planet.

Yep, some of God's angels in the flesh.

I don't think this was a dream. It was 36 years ago, though, so I guess it might as well be.

Just messin w/you. I think you know that?

They really are special people. I found that out when I spent 50 days and nights in the hospital with my brother during his struggle with cancer surgeries, etc.

Sure. I though your comment was funny. I just remembered that I called the one I dated for awhile "Nurse Goodbody." I think that was a character on Hee Haw back in the day.

My doctors were amazing when I was fighting for my life from septic shock, but it was the nurses who held my hand as I cried at night when my chances of seeing the morning were slim. I will never forget their kindness.

I don't think I missed an episode of hee haw back in those days. It came on Saturday nights around 6 pm here.
And yes, Nurse Goodbody was a character played by a pretty blonde & her name is Gunilla Freeman (Hutton).

I didn't know who played the character, but I remember Archie played the doctor. Gunilla had a nice set of lungs.

I read up on Gunilla, and didn't realize she was on Petticoat Junction too. In her personal life, she had an extramarital affair with Nat King Cole, and she went as far as calling Mrs. Cole to tell her to divorce him. After Cole was diagnosed with lung cancer, he ended the relationship with Gunilla.

Mercy. I guess hospitals these days have to be equipped with extra large beds.

We have a few 48" beds, what we need are lifts mounted to I beams in the ceilings. It saves everyone from getting hurt.

I looked her up bc of the funny first name. She's from Sweden.

Lol..........Mr. Cole was a lucky man in some ways I'd say.

I just read on Cole's Wiki page that Gunilla was 19 when they had their affair. I guess that is why he sang "Ramblin' Hos."

19? That's almost like robbing the cradle. Like I said above.......lucky man to have that.

The story said that he died at 45, and broke off the relationship when he was diagnosed with lung cancer, so I'm guessing he was 44-45 at the time. Good work if you can get it.

She was born in 1944. She's still alive & kicking. Yep, he died @ 45 years young.

Lol because digging massive tunnels networks are as easy as scooping ice cream. Lol there’s some truly idiotic retorts when it comes to building a wall.

Thanks to the cartels, tunnel systems already exist. It's idiotic to think that a wall won't resort in an uptick in human trafficking IMO. Honestly, thinking a wall will solve everything is simplistic. It won't. Will it make it harder? Sure. But it doesn't solve the problem, and it won't stop illegal immigration. People will find ways to get around it. Then what?

IMO, a wall is as misguided as the Maginot line was. The French were convinced they had solved their problem with Germany. All it did was spur Hitler to find another way.

That said, I think both political parties are acting irrational over the wall debate and the govt shutdown. Our country is in need of serious immigration reform. We do need to find a way to better secure our borders. It's a problem that won't be solved by petty bickering, which seems to be the only thing Dems and GOPers are good at.

Why is a wall misguided? What are the negatives of having s atronger border protection?

So we should stop looking for the tunnels. They’ll just build more. We’ll never be able to find them all. And even if we did, then what?

I think we should extend this to the police and their radar guns. I’m tird of getting speeding tickets. They can never stop everybody. Why even try??

How much is the wall estimated to cost to build? How much will it cost to maintain? Factor that into how effective will it be? Is the cost worth it? Not in my opinion.
