COLD DARK ROOM

[meech008]

Good answer!

 

[meech008]

Well thank you! How are you today? Selfish of me not to ask. Shame on me

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Anyway it's not ridiculous or stupid.
You're built that way, as am I.
I'm happy with it, don't want to become cold and selfish.
I have joy with people and animals for years and then one day, there comes a horrible bit of grief and misery.
But i'd rather that than years of not caring followed by more uncaring.

If you have a tendency to get attached to people very easily and I suggest that when you're done with school you pick a place to work will you Will not see the same patients over and over. I do physical therapy and I worked in patient for nine years. Many of the people were very ill or nearing the end of their life. Sometimes the patients would die. And I got attached to patients also who I saw several times over the years. So I moved to outpatient. You can still help people without getting personally attached to them. But sometimes bad things just happen and there's nothing you can do about it.

I agree very much. I enjoy being with people and enjoy helping people very very much. I am working very hard to find a balance.

You're very right. My main goal is to go to an orthopedic center actually. I have always enjoyed that specialty and the clinical time flies for me when I'm studying it. Hospitals just aren't for me really for me. I didn't enjoy it as much before all this. The only hospital that I really loved was oddly enough, a children's hospital.

I really couldn't cope with ill children.
or children at all probably.

Oh I loved the kids. They were so much fun to be with and interact with. I was the sticker queen there. I has stickers I'm every pocket Haha. All they had to do was smile at me! I even had TORTOISE stickers.

I want a tortoise sticker!
Or several!
Now!

 

[meech008]

A whole sheet!!!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

A whole sheet!!!

Yes, yes, yes!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Anyway, since my tortoise stickers are not forthcoming, possibly because I forgot to say please in my excitement, back to questions of a Victorian nature.
What did the Victorians use badger willies for?

Ha! Sorry I was doing the dishes! I could have a whole sheet made up for you! and I give, what were they for. My answer is probably very incorrect

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

It's pretty bizarre, but we'll wait a bit, in case someone else should appear to claim the points.

 

[meech008]

Badger willies. Makes me giggle. Well, I guess while I'm waiting for what I'm sure is a fascinating answer. I can bother you with questions.

......if that's agreeable to you of course

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

You missed an opportunity there!
Go on then.
Badger me with questions!

 

[meech008]

I was going to put "badger"!!! I just didn't know how "punny" it would be! I'm kind of a lame-o haha. What made you decide to move to morocci? You're a paleontologist I believe right? What made you choose that? Am I correct in thinking that you are originally from England?

half English, half Welsh, from south west England.
Came to Morocco for many reasons.
i'd previously lived for a while in Poland, Saudi Arabia and Thailand.
I love foreign travel, but also really getting to know a culture and people.
Wifey was sick; partly because of the English cold and wet and we needed somewhere that was hot, cheap, near England in case of emergencies, beautiful, different, famous for fossils, easy and safe to buy property and exciting without being dangerous.
saw a program on the BBC called "Uncharted Territory that gave Fes the thumbs up, even though no Brits at all were living there.
We were the first to come to this medieval ancient medina, buy a property and live here full time.
Fell in love with the place at first sight, never looked back, it's wonderful, 9,600 streets and the largest urbanized pedestrianized zone in the world.
No cars, I hate cars.
