There are five things, above all else, that make life worth living: a good relationship with God, a good woman, good health, good friends, and a good cigar.

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American Soldier.  One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

Bacon is the candy bar of meats!

Only the dead have seen the end of war!

Define "nearly naked" compared to what's fairly common on California beaches.

Or more likely, she's someone with mental health issues that may be in physical danger. Or could just have been hypothermic.

So, I should call them and ask if they have my daughter, Adella?

Also, how well does she sing?
I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

When I was working the ER on an rez we had a girl come in soaking wet that the BIA cops had pulled out of a shallow ditch behind their cop shop. She also claimed to be a mermaid. I knew she was a little touched when she told me she was pregnant (not showing) and asked if I wanted her baby because it was the "spawn of aliens".

She got to the point of needing 4 point restraints and even then she was rocking the gurney she was on to the point of nearly tipping over. Once we confirmed she was not pregnant the copious amounts of Haldol we gave her allowed her to rest.....yea, that's it....rest.

A few months later she came in and apologized for her behavior and thanked us for taking care of her. It was then I knew without a doubt she was crazy. I mean who comes back to the ER to thank them for care?!?!

In reality she was a fairly nice young lady who just happened to take a break from reality for a while.

Mermaids are real!  They walk amongith us!

Haldol can do the job, yes indeed.

"she is 5-foot-4, weighs about 150 pounds"

Under the limit and out of season for mermaids. Throw her back.

Have any of you ever seen this "documentary"?  It was on Discovery Channel a few years ago.  It was interesting to watch though all the people in it had hair and looks like actors instead of regular people in documentaries.

Yeah, that might be the case. She might be a mental patient.
