I got called a name today,

As I'm still in rehab and will be having a quiet day. I bought 3 doz cookies for staff here, and had them delivered.
It's just how I was raised, Mom always said, " take care of those who care for you".
Anyway, staff is coming in and thanking me, one nurse said,
" You got a be a Democrat"
I just said, " a proud one!"

Merry Christmas from

Koz, on the mend.

and that staffer noting that you must be a Democrat.

But in a way it's beyond sad that your political affiliation should be obvious from a simple lack of kindness .

You did right to think of the staff. Even if they get too many they can share them later. Glad to hear from you, we had a thread hoping you were ok last week.

It's awfully sweet of you to take care of the kind folks who are working on Christmas, especially while you're recuperating.

We’re getting hammered by a wind and rain storm here, feels like hurricane force.

And the day just got a little brighter!!

Make that a LOT brighter.

NWS says gusts to 31 mph. More like 40 on this ridge.
Rainy with gusts to 20 (like 30?) Friday and no rain and wind Saturday.
I asked my daughter and son-in-law to postpone the Christmas Day visit to Saturday.

I-5 in L.A. was flooded out yesteday.

It’s always a movable feast this time of year, with Thanksgiving, Christmas and two birthdays all smashed together, so we adjust.

Time Lords!!!



Heck, Joe Biden managed weather better than this dingleberry.

or bore everybody around them on NYD and beyond about their resolution to diet off all the Xmas cheer. We just run that shit off on the job.

So thank you, Koz, on behalf of all my fellow nurses who are still in the trenches.

“The best measure of a person is how they treat people who cannot possibly do them any good. “
My personal favorite is: “Most people will forget what you said, but they will always remember how you made them feel.”

The reason is because they have to work on Christmas, while everyone else is off enjoying the holiday and visiting family etc. You are showing appreciation for the rehab workers' sacrifices and dedication to their job.

Besides that you're just a nice person and it's a great way to say "Thanks" and "Merry Christmas" at the same time.

Good job Kozar ... you're doing great!
