If I am honest the nurse just annoyed me!

I prefer to use humour... but I have made some inappropriate jokes and continue to do so, it is just me! If people get annoyed with me hey ho. I am who I am!

Then she should have apologised to you for her upset annoying you:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:.

I don't know what "inappropriate" means - no-one ever defines it in a clear and therefore satisfactory way, other than (unsatisfactorily) by reference to their own or someone's else opinion.

The word "inappropriate" is one of the most inappropriate words in the English language, precisely because it is so unclear as to what is and is not "appropriate" (or "inappropriate") comprehensively in absolutely every possible situation and eventuality without exception. Time after time, in codes of behaviour (I know this is going way off original subject), we are told "this is not an exhaustive list" (as to what is or isn't acceptable).

That will not do. I want an exhaustive list. Otherwise, it is totally unclear as to what you mean to include or not. And therefore I do not know. As such it is, if I may say so, inappropriate for you (that is the code of conduct writers) to fail to give an exhaustive list.

"Don't tell inappropriate jokes." Well - what does that mean??!?:think::think::rotfl: I may have (from knowledge of society and what may or may not be seen as acceptable within it) some idea but I do not know, conclusively. And that just won't do! It leaves it, as I said, in an unsatisfactory position. Thus... I'm right once again! "Inappropriate" is an unsatisfactory word to use as it is most unclear. This subject-matter is obbiously one that exercises my mind from time to time, as I try to fathom out what it means and without success.

Thanks honey, I know it is horrible stuff.

I would hate to think what my blood pressure has been like this week, the girls have been keeping me supplied with double strength coffee alternated with Redbull.

Sadly they kept forgetting to feed me. So today it was breakfast of poached eggs on toast, lunch biscuit, tea... just had some olives!

I know I have been over opinionated and very authoritarian all week. Karma may bite me back. I will be better next week!

:o:o:o

What do you do sunshine mummy ? No one would forget to feed me lol I d remind them or say something. I can t do without food and I need it ( food that is) every 3 to 4 hours during the day as I feel sick. Well that s my excuse anyway

If I wrote about my deviations, I would have to kill you!

You are not clueless, but at times you are literal other times less so.

Ps the killing was a joke. And if I ever tell you I want to run away with you and have your babies... don't take this literally as I am too old to have babies or to run!

;);););)

I know you're joking and that's not literal! (I think..)

I'm told I am supposedly too literal, but so wary I have become that I might be taking things literally and 'missing the point' I am now continuously looking behind everything said in order to determine whether or not there was an implied non-literal meaning intended. My default may be to start from what it literally says, but then I consider what it 'really' means (or might really mean), which is more than I suspect other people do.

The problem..really.. is with others, not with me. Specifically that people are not accurate enough and say (or write) something other than what they mean. If they did not mean it and meant something else, why did they not say what they really meant and not something else that they think has the meaning of what they meant but which does not? I'm not talking about sarcasm or irony or even politeness dressed up as communication. I am focussing here on issues of where people say - or even more to the point, write (thereby having time to consider it, correct it if need be and make sure it said what they intended it to say) - something and put it in a way that says the opposite of what they mean, more because they have failed to think or consider things beforehand and are simply lazy or unskilled in the English language as to understand what they actually wrote (or, sometimes, I suspect, what they meant it to say) rather than because they knew it was saying something other than their message. Ineffective communication, in this aspect, is no communcation.

Anyway ... lecture about language grammar over..especially as I don't get some of the more, to me, arcane and highly detailed aspects myself.

Anyway, can we get back to money-saving, Savvy???!?

A little boy asked his mother, "Why are you crying?" "Because I'm a woman," she told him.

"I don't understand," he said. His Mom just hugged him and said, "And you never will."

Later the little boy asked his father, "Why does mother seem to cry for no reason?"

"All women cry for no reason," was all his dad could say.

The little boy grew up and became a man, still wondering why women cry.

Finally he put in a call to God. When God got on the phone, he asked,

"God, why do women cry so easily?"

God said, "When I made the woman she had to be special.

I made her shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the world, yet gentle enough to give comfort.

I gave her an inner strength to endure childbirth and the rejection that many times comes from her children.

I gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going when everyone else gives up, and take care of her family through sickness and fatigue without complaining.

I gave her the sensitivity to love her children under any and all circumstances, even when her child has hurt her very badly.

I gave her strength to carry her husband through his faults and fashioned her from his rib to protect his heart.

I gave her wisdom to know that a good husband never hurts his wife, but sometimes tests her strengths and her resolve to stand beside him And finally, I gave her a tear to shed. This is hers exclusively to use whenever it is needed."

"You see my son," said God, "the beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair.

The beauty of a woman must be seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart the
place where love resides."
