i'm surprised they would use porcelain bowls in a lock down unit. are you bending the truth for us dear doctor? this is under fiction.

setaki, 

bipolar nut case here who just spent thanksgiving in lockdown. i was a good girl though and made friends with patients and staff alike as usual. 

my pants split on me once. bursting out of a size 8 into a 10 or 12. fortunately i was still in the parking lot at home and could change them before work and i must've had some of my bigger sizes prudently saved from larger days.

let's here it for white coats then and now. i just love all the people i've met as a mental health patient. lots of fun! my psychiatrist is one trippy riot. really she's quite ho hum normal unlike my transgendered shrink from los angles, marvin shoshanna gillick, m.d.

I don't think I ever wore red underpants under my white nurse's uniforms.  I did love working in mental health.  I'll never forget working in the lockdown unit and some of the patients there.

Very funny! And it reminds me of an occasion when my own pants split and caused me some considerable embarrassment - I might even write a post about it...

That was a good way to solve it.

Tee Hee of course this would happen when you wore the red undies. I have worked in mental health...nursing...always great fun that I thoroughly enjoyed.

If nothing else, it proved you are still agile! As for those underpants, I tend to stick with basic white. No use confusing people . . .
