Adjam5 Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 What appeals to you most about where you live? What do you like the least about where you live? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkeygirl Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 Oh, probably once I get a real job and some real money, or hit retirement, sure, a hunt out west would be fun. Fav food...ummm seafood, especially lobster! Where I want to hunt the most....ummm probably Illinois...scenery great...the deer are even greater...don't have to use a passport, although I do have one so maybe Canada because I'd love a big, nontypical, chocolate colored rack on my wall! What I like most where I live? Being out in the country..beautiful land...lots of deer and I can either walk or drive to the property I hunt. What I like least? Ummm when the road doesn't get plowed with snow on it...our town is kind of lame in that area...and being on a back road...all the holes and what not that come forth in the springtime! I'm ready and waiting,lol. I know mrswtnhunt was going to drill me,lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkeygirl Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 Good question! This summer, the 2nd last week of camp, me and 2 other girls from camp decided to raid icons back from another camp. Basically the icons are shared among the 4 camps in the DEC system and it's a tradition thing for staff to try and get the icons (aka yardsale treasures). Well we decided to raid the camp that is farthest away, 7 hours in the Adirondacks, and also the one that no one had successfully raided. We leave on a Saturday, late morning....drive all day, get up there around 5pm...we eat dinner then we park across the lake, and watch the camp, which is on a lake. We had a trunk full of gear aka black clothing, canoe paddles, a canoe on the top of the car, camo, WD40 for squeaky doors, flashlights, etc...When it gets dark we go into action. First we drive back into town to a gas station and change into our black clothes, we looked like we were going to rob a bank. We go back and get the canoe off and launch and in the pitch dark we paddle across the lake and into a small bay in order to come around the corner to the camp. Well we had to wait for staff who were there to leave to go out and get drunk,lol. So we sat in a canoe on the lake, hiding on a rocky shore, for 2 hours. Finally it's clear and we go in. We tie up the canoe to the dock,sneak through bushes, behind a dumpster and get to where the dining hall, which is where icons are displayed. The one girl has to use my Buck knife to pry open the door as it is warped and will be noisy otherwise, my adrenaline is flying, we get in, and can here a TV on the floor up above and some people. We open a bag and start putting in icons, mainly ours that had been taken the summer before. We hear a foot step so we book it out, jump in a canoe and paddle back across the lake. Well we get everything in the car, did not get caught and decide to make a land strike. So we drive up the road, park at the end of their driveway, like a 1/4 mile long at least, and walk barefoot down the drivewat and sneak back in, getting more icons then we book it out.Then the one girl said she left my knife in the dining hall, So I go solo to get it, can't find it, hear a footstep and book it back out and run all the way up the driveway barefoot till I get to the car, she'd had my knife all along. We started our raid at like midnight...and started driving back home at like 1:30am...taking turns, and got back to our camp as legends,lol, at about 8:30am! That has got to be the most adventurous, creative thing ever done...And this was the short version of this adventure,lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkeygirl Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 92 - nope...haven't been there. Catrina - Well when I graduated from Houghton with my B.S., I worked for about a year there in the custodial, because they needed help and there were no outdoor rec. jobs around except camp in the summer. Well I've always been interested in medicine. Was going to major in Athletic Training till they dropped the program, but I minored in it so got to learn alot about muscles, joints, sprains, etc...Well while working, medicine was still in my heart, and even though I am a shy person, though not like I was when I was really young,lol, I enjoy working with people. Medicine runs in family to, mom was an LPN, Uncle a surgeon, but I didn't choose because of that. I decided to apply to the nursing program and prayed about it. I figured if I was accepted, God wanted me to do this. Well during the summer while at camp I get the letter in the mail I was accepted! And alot of my Houghton classes transferred so I mainly just had to take the core classes of the program. Through the two years I found out that I could bring something to the patients that I see few nurses bring these days...kindess, caring, compassion, and a willingess to listen. Getting very being shy is kind of tough but the feeling from caring for someone is way worth it...Nursing sometimes isn't all about the physical but the emotional as well. My ah ha moment really happened senior year...stuff finally started making sense,lol, but I cared for this one patient the one week and something just clicked...she was the neatest patient and the following week I had a different patient, and she was in ICU after surgery. I went down to say Hi to her and she appreciated it so much that I remembered and came to see her, if only for a minute. She was the first patient I can remember who said to me "Ruth, you are going to make a great nurse." Fav. time in nursing school.....umm putting in my first Foley, nailed it on the first try,lol! Actually during a preceptorship for a week I did 2 and a straight cath. and the 2nd Foley happened when I was standing in a room watching a response team and the Dr. orders a Foley and my preceptor and my classmate with me are like ruth, you do it,lol! Also when I called out my one patient's infiltrated IV and got to put a new one in,my first, that was awesome as well! There was the time as well when I got to do my first shot...1st year my clinical group all gave each other our flu shots! Alot of nursing school was fun. My least fav. time though was final semester, this last spring, when the girl from camp was killed in the car accident on Good Friday...I failed my nursing test that Monday...but whole semester, every morning that I drove to campus, I had to drive through that intersection where the accident happened...not one time did I not think of her...it hurt for quite a while. There was also thetime in clinical where I was blamed for hanging an IV bag on a wrong patient, which never happened because I do a thing called checking the ID band and documenting. All they needed to do was go pull the med. sheets...My advisor didn't want to make too much of a fuss because of having clinical there but she had been in the room with me so she knew it was impossible. Someone made a mistake and used a student as an escape.... So now that I wrote a book,lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
