A List of Symptoms....If You Have 3 of These You Have the Diagnosis of "nursing student"

1. Does this phrase frequent your vocabulary "I used to have friends, but after I started studying they've kind of disapeared"

2. You are deathly afraid that after you get married you will get pregnant. You've considered using 5 forms of birth control....all at ONCE.

Funny Phrases....

When I was younger, my friend Sarah and I used to try and listen to funny phrases people said. My brother-in-law and I used to do this also...Here's a few I can remember. They make me chuckle...cause people actually use these expressions.
1. We got smoked like a country ham!
2. It ain't worth a hill of beans to me.
3. Hot diggety dog!
4. Alrighty, buddy bear.
5. I don't like the way you "poo-pooed" my idea.
6. 5 dollars is not something to "sniff at"
7. Ooooohhh doggies!
8. Jumpin' Jehosephat
That's all I can remember right now...can you add to my list?!

10 Reasons I HATE Spiders

1. They have too many legs...Nothing should have more than 4 legs...
2. They not only creep but also scamper.
3. They can be hairy.
4. Nothing with 8 legs should be able to be coordinated to move that fast.
5. They make me wanna cry.
6. They hide in dark places.
7. Sometimes they crawl on you.
8. They make webs which stick to your face when you are hiking.
9. THEY ARE NASTY.
10.They make me look like a wimp and they give me nightmares. I seriously don't think I hate anything as much as I hate spiders.
What do you hate?

Meaningful Touches.

Guess from the list below what the optimal number of meaningful touches per day is.

a. One....a hug a day, keeps the blues away.
b. Two....a kiss in the morning, a kiss at night...it keeps us from having a fight.
c. Three..(I can't think of a stupid rhyme for this one)
d. Four...Now I implore...is it really just four?
e. Five...Five it's what keeps us alive.
f. Eight...Now that would be just GREAT.

*if you you guessed f you are correct! Do you remember any time in your life where you did not get enough meaningful touches a day? (ex..I'm talking about hugs, pats on the shoulder, kiss on the cheek) I remember in my early college days I would go MONTHS without a hug. I was in a new state, with no family and all my friends were brand new. I didn't really notice how much I missed hugs until I went home fulfilled my "eight meaningful touches" quota each day. Many female college student suffer from depression....do you think this could have to do with the fact that they are not getting enough meaningful touches? I know hugs always brighten my day...what do you think?

What Should We Bring Back from the 80's??

3. Zoobas...
4. Big, Big hair.
5. Safety pinned pant legs.
6. Neon shirts, neon shoes..neon anything.
7. Poodle perm hair
8. Shoulder pads
9. High waist jeans (although express sells those now?? I say "yuck"
10.Those shirts that change different colors when they were put next to higher temperatures..hyper color shirts??
Gosh..I'm glad we don't wear this stuff anymore....

A FEW Things I Couldn't Live Without
