I'M LIVING IN A VAN DOWN BY THE RIVER - AMA

[Rasputin]

Haven't been on Chiefs Planet much because I'm living in a van down by the river.

[Rasputin]

I risk getting beat up every night I go to work but so do the cute girls I work with. I protect them.

Oh man, that sounds stressful both mentally and physically

I’ve been in the one I described earlier many times as a kid to see an old relative, and know people who worked there in various capacities over the years... it would probably crush me into a permanent depression

Good on you for being willing to step up, they’re still people who need care and there you are

I actually like my unit other units we get pulled too not so much but I've survived this field by looking at the entertainment value patients (and staff) give. It's like watching True TV live. Most of the patients are characters and you get to know them.

Like when a patient says "The green beans are cooked in gasoline " I'm like don't eat the green beans

I've seen that youtube video about the correlation between attractiveness and craziness in women, so I'm assuming that your hospital is full of really attractive women patients who occasionally wrestle each other or the cute female orderlies. Don't spoil my vision of this by telling me otherwise.

Damn! That's out there where the Hoot Owls **** the chickens. Nowhere

Dude, Kudoos to you, I hope your van life is a great get away and relief from work. Catch them catfish and cookem up!

This is as accurate as you want to believe

They wrastle in slow motion and sometimes their hospital gowns slip open and fall to the ground and we have to go over and put their garments back on them wrapping them up and carrying them back to their rooms. it's a donting task.

Sounds like One Flew Over Cookoos Nest meets Shawshank Redemption meets Field of Dreams

I misspelled Cookoos intentionally because the ****ing stupid pussy PC filter changes any word that contains a portion or means a pussy Liberal and starts with a C and ends in uck

I call it Cookoo for Coaco Puffs but I call S.P..T.P. Peewee's Playhouse. That's a different program.


There are three different programs at LSH and also DOT

PSP or ATC adult treatment center. That's where I work the most

SSP. State Security Patients for criminally insane

And

S.P.T.P. Sexual Predator Treatment Program that a bullet is the only cure for them.

Actually there are some of us farther S.W. in Kansas than you currently are! Welcome to the constant breeze! However it's dry here and nights are always nice and cool, even in the dead heat of summer.

Have you visited;

- old Fort Larned? It's cool if your into history.
- the Mexican restaurant in Larned? not bad.
- Pawnee rock? another historical site.
- You are living right on the Santa Fe trail, have you been to that museum?
- Have you fished Larned city lake?

So much to do, so little... "hey look, a rabbit!"

Oh yea, have you thought about one getting a pop up canopy to put right behind your van? I have camped out of my pickup shell and it makes a huge difference. Portable, cheap and lots of shade. I used 5 gallon buckets for weights. One for each leg, fill with water, short bungee cord from leg to bucket handle, when ready to leave dump the water, fold up the canopy, stack buckets and go.

just a thought.......
