As I'm still in rehab and will be having a quiet day. I bought 3 doz cookies for staff here, and had them delivered.
It's just how I was raised, Mom always said, " take care of those who care for you".
Anyway, staff is coming in and thanking me, one nurse said,
" You got a be a Democrat"
I just said, " a proud one!"
Merry Christmas from
Koz, on the mend.

But in a way it's beyond sad that your political affiliation should be obvious from a simple lack of kindness .

(25,226 posts)NWS says gusts to 31 mph. More like 40 on this ridge.
Rainy with gusts to 20 (like 30?) Friday and no rain and wind Saturday.
I asked my daughter and son-in-law to postpone the Christmas Day visit to Saturday.
I-5 in L.A. was flooded out yesteday.
Its always a movable feast this time of year, with Thanksgiving, Christmas and two birthdays all smashed together, so we adjust.

Heck, Joe Biden managed weather better than this dingleberry.

So thank you, Koz, on behalf of all my fellow nurses who are still in the trenches.

My personal favorite is: Most people will forget what you said, but they will always remember how you made them feel.

(41,597 posts)The reason is because they have to work on Christmas, while everyone else is off enjoying the holiday and visiting family etc. You are showing appreciation for the rehab workers' sacrifices and dedication to their job.
Besides that you're just a nice person and it's a great way to say "Thanks" and "Merry Christmas" at the same time.
Good job Kozar ... you're doing great!
