Haha that sort of reminds me of my sister (who has Down's). Every time they demolish a school she cries (nevermind it's old and probably really unsafe). "Did you ever go inside the school?" "...no..." "Then you have no attachment!"
This is off-point, but I am reminded of my introduction to "Black Friday." This was many years ago when I was still working clinically as a nurse. Over my 20-or-so clinical years, I often worked the holiday and, unless I specifically requested time off to travel to visit family, I NEVER had the traditional four-days off from work.
Then came my first job in the business world with a medical device company, and I found myself (hello, self) at home with four days off and no plans. I just thought that my company was very generous and, like my clinical counterparts, most people would have to work on Friday.
Thinking I was so very brilliant, I had the idea to get my Xmas shopping done, "when there would be no one at the malls." Yes, it's shocking that someone can live that long and be so out of touch with the real world.
I hope that you all had a lovely and relaxing T-Day and, if you ventured out, a successful Black Friday. Tricia
Well, Tricia, my friend-the-rabbi's father is an Orthodox (very religious) rabbi -- who called him last year and wanted to go to Costco on December 24th. When the son said, 'Dad, it's the day before Christmas,' his father said, 'how nice for the Christians ... I need to go to Costco' 80 years old and he had NO idea what that was going to be like!
Marie is well on her way to practicing for tween/teen girl years of studied distain. Restaurants will be the least of your worries before you know it..
This blog is entirely for entertainment purposes. All posts about patients, or my everyday life, or anything else may be fictional, or be my experience, or were submitted by a reader, or any combination of the above. Factual statements may or may not be accurate. I could be making all this up. I may not even be a doctor. The only true statement on here is that I probably drink more Diet Coke than you do. A lot more.

Okra Haus? They served food from Southern Germany? Hassenpfeffer with grits? Schnitzel and dumplings?
Marie's a hipster???
