Can't happen fast enough for me. About 85% of the residents in the nursing home where I work suffer from some form of dementia and staffing levels have been cut time and time again. We are struggling to cope with the work-load now so any relief…

Good luck, Charlene. Sometimes it's easier just to smile, nod and enjoy the food and drink. Or come down with the 'flu the day before.

Small changes........

Posted on August 14, 2009 at 2:10pm 2 Comments

There was a recent news item on Danish T.V. where an opposition politician from the Social Democratic Party, Christine Antorini, said that the "Our Father" prayer should no longer be used in schools. "It belongs in church and not in schools. We have Christian, Muslim and Jewish children......"

I wrote to her expressing my support but pointing out that children do not get their religion via their D.N.A. but through their upbringing. Therefore it would be more correct to say children of a… Continue

Have a listen to "Trees" on my music. It's by the daughter of an online friend and who's as yet undiscovered. Completely unprejudiced, I think it's good.

Hi-ho hi-ho, it's back to school I go.

The last day of freedom. Tomorrow I'll be back at health school, trying to get the bit of paper that says I'm qualified to do the job I've been doing for the past 12 years.

Not alone! At last!

Posted on December 31, 2008 at 1:33am 6 Comments

I've only started using a computer and the Internet this year, so it's been a pleasant surprise to discover that I'm not alone. Not that I live in an overwhelmingly religious society (Denmark) but I meet almost nobody who is a real skeptic/atheist. The vast majority spout things about "there are more things in heaven and earth", usually thinking they are quoting the Bible - it's Shakespeare - and without knowing the other half: "than are dreamt of in your philosophy, Horatio." Don't be narrow… Continue

Dear Ian, I hope you don't mind that I copied the cute kitten photo that you found on the web yesterday and posted it in "Atheist Ailurophiles" just now?  It's too cute not to be shared with all our cat lovers...lol!  Thanks

I had no sleep yesterday -- so I'm tired.  Hoping to get caught up on sleep this weekend. 

Good luck on going without tobacco. My thoughts are with you!

Have a nice weekend.

That particular quote was on the Bad Opinion Generator, but I didn't snag it. Too many choices.

Greetings, Ian! I notice you haven't been active at Atheist Nexus lately. <sigh> Sometimes it can seem a bit fragmented, with different groups for every interest. Please consider a group for socializing, where we talk about whatever's on our minds, Hang With Friends. :D You might feel more at home.
