Some people in my class got in trouble for spending time on non-class-related things online. I didn’t get in trouble. I mean, I visited a bunch of websites (including this one) that were nothing to do with class, but I’m good at not getting caught. Rule #2 of my class - don’t get caught fooling around. ---

Good lords, I don’t wanna marry anyone in my class. :eek: Oh yay! A professional bass clarinetist just posted a video on YouTube. A video of my music! I’m so happy 😃 ---

Poor sod was old and had his furnace around 85 when he died ------ sometime around January? And he kept a very clean and tight house. By the end of June -------- it just wasn’t real pretty. Interesting as all Hell – just not pretty. Sadly not one Mumper has listed “porn star” as a former dirty job. Or clean-up on a porn or slasher movie set. What are we, dull??? ---

Nursing is about the dirtiest job out there. Pee, Poop, Vomit and any other bodily fluid you can think of, and a few you may not have even guessed. It’s good to be retired. ---

You just _had_ to remind me of the years I spent working in nursing homes as an orderly. Bodily fluid bingo almost every day and night, schedules so erratic that the only way you could possibly get eight hours of sleep was to teleport home, have someone hit you in the head with a hammer teleport back and have someone shock you back awake, the chance to catch every disease under the sun, and the knowledge that most of the people that you are caring for(_and care for_) will not be leaving that place alive. ---

Pet sitting can get a bit icky at times. I’ve been bitten, scratched, knocked down, dragged, bled on, barfed on, peed and pooped on For what ever reason animal body fluids don’t bother me as much as human ones. One day though I was so sick, I was barely able to be up and around and got to a client’s house and 2 of her 4 dogs were not well either. Trying to clean up their mess while not adding to it was hard. ---

Howdy from da cave! I believe this may well be the most digustin’ MMP ever. **sari** be sure to work that into your resume. 😃 I’ve been pooped, peed and puked on by more critters than I could ever remember over the years. Both the human and the animal kind of critter btw. Tonight, as I have already mentioned, is men’s night over to the church house. Thus, steaks are marinated and beer is chilled. I even stopped and got some bakin’ N.O.T. on the way to da cave. Shortly I shall leave to go commence with the gettin’ ready to bake and settin’ up. Welcome folks who have not posted in the MMP before. You are now Mumpers. Nicknames to follow. ---
