Actually that is very funny. Of course – she would feel weird if he was in some terminal stage cancer – but I guess he would look like a black eye was the least of his worries if he was going there for real pain.

I always appreciate the perspective that people in medicine bring. Maybe it’s because my mom’s a nurse and I am used to and crave, that kind of presence now!

Amy sounds so awesome.

Are you guys sure he was going in for the shiner or some other injury suffered in the scuffle?

Dongseng, hell to the n-o on me in Hello Kitty skivvies too, haha! For now.

Paul, I thought twice about posting this due to that possibility, but with any visual or slapstick humor I guess there has to be a suspension of belief of the more dire consequences.

Chelseaorange, haha, no I am not. I can hardly keep this site active. Plus, I could post Hello Kitty items a lot more frequently than that guy does. And I wouldn’t be a dick about it when my readers ask where I found them.

Jade, I think my kids get the brunt of my more analytical side when they get little boo-boos. While Amy will put all these (useless) salves and (placebo) bandaids on them, I’m generally like, “Looks fine. Everything intact. The pain should be gone in 2-5 minutes.”

smallkat, it’s like lingerie for men – women might give it, but men won’t be wearing it.

Bonnie, he was probably not going in for the shiner. The chronic pain clinic does get a ton of low back pain, which is more likely with a younger male than other causes. Still, seeing someone going into the Pain clinic with an obvious source of non-serious pain was cartoon-worthy comedy for my cancer-consoling Amy. Maybe Amy’s just used to seeing guys shrug off black eyes from the UFCs we’ve watched.

Meechie, I knew it was Caturday!

Amy sounds like one tough cookie. But it seems you’d have to have s certain inner strength to work in the line of work that you guys are in.

As for the kitty men undies, I’m surprised they don’t have Hello Kitty on the front…You know, the whiskers and the button nose. But I guess that would take away from the “sweet ‘n’ cute” image of Hello Kitty.

LOL her sense of humor fits right in with the rest of my night shift crew

Danny, sadly, I can picture that.

Kim, yeah, having a protruding penis and ballsack for Hello Kitty’s face might be disturbing.

Jade, all of the neighbor’s ask for Amy when their kids are hurt or sick, even when I answer the phone. I don’t tolerate malingerers and Munchausen’s – especially among two to six year olds!!!!

Jeanetta, Amy used to work night shift in the MICU several years ago. Maybe that’s what corrupted her.

Halfy79, I have to admit that your comment got me thinking … but the kitty face is on the wrong side for me to casually open the fridge in my black socks. Oh darn.

hi scott,
it’s betty from pb & toast blog. i didn’t know where else to send this question…been meaning to ask you, but would you mind if i linked your blog on our family blog?

thanks, b

I think the second picture of Amy pursing her lips is a really cute/good one of her.

i could def. see some interesting expressions from some of my family members. esp. the grandmama’s and papa’s. forgot that where i posted this comment and that i did…so i’m just getting to it. i’ll be linking you to our site. thanks.
