Ring of power

[nisaa]

I used my wedding ring today in a most amusing way. I was walking down the street to the bus stop when I see this guy crossing the street - strutting across the street. I knew why he was crossing the street and I was in a hurry and had no time for it. When he got close to me, I held up my hand, showed him my ring and said "Married!" and kept walking. He said something like "I still love you anyway".

The ring of power. It works.

In other news, I have two of my very own red biohazard boxes now! I know that this probable only interests a few of you out there ( like [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com]). I transferred some needles (very carefully and with gloves on and no sticks) from two little boxes to a bigger box for my boss today. When I asked her what she wanted to do with the boxes, she asked if I wanted them.
Yay! My husband was afraid when I gleefully showed them to him.

Other than that, I'm sick with a cold and feel like poop. Luckily I got an acupuncture treatment and some herbs this morning. Plus my boss gave me some suggestions on stuff to take. It's good to work for a doctor. So, I'll be home tonight curled up with my Anatomy coloring book and a movie and going to sleep early. I would really prefer to go see Hedwig but I know that staying out that late will make me feel worse :( Have fun for me tonight.

one ring to fool them all,
one ring confounds them
one ring from the mall...

and i can't think of a cute finish... damn. the "GTFL" look usually suffices for me... =)

Hey - my ring wasn't from the mall ;P
The wedding band was from a jeweler I know from pagan and medieval festivals and the engagement ring was from an art gallery in Madison, Wisconsin. Again, :p

If the ring ever doesn't work for this purpose, do you have a photo of your husband handy? Most guys would probably think twice if they thought you might sic him on them ....

tee hee! I should take a new photo of him at Muscle Beach or something looking all scary and keep it with me! That'll fix 'em

um- look- throw them away

The biohazard boxes- trust me. If they were used (and it sounds like they were)- just- just throw them out. How many boxes do you want? We go through them all the time at work0 I'll get you a couple. But- anything that those needles were used in (you know- people) left some if itself on the inside of the box. This means that there is most likely human source material (blood, other bodily goo) in the box. Dried other people's blood. Possibly from sick people. Trust me on this one. Burn them.

Take them back to work and toss them.

Then again- if it was a sharps container- but did not contain any *dirty* needles- then nevermind. :)

OOOH! Oh! I misunderstood. :)

If you are just going to use them as a sharps container yourself- then don't worry about it. I just had a couple of friends tell me they were using a sharps container for something *else*- because they thought it was funny. Thankfully it was unused. I had this vision of you using the container for some art project or thereabouts. :P Nevermind- it will work jsut fine as long as you don't ever open it again.

And whataver you do (and itsounds like you know this) *don't* throw it in the regular trash. It *will* e noticed down the line and bad things will happen. I had a friend in college (Mike was an Idgit) who had a couple of biohazard bags from his lab and he used them for trash once.
Once.

Um, ok. They're acupuncture needles, I don't know if that makes a difference.
I was just going to keep filing them with used needles - not that I go through a lot of them. I've probably used 10 ever. I figured if I just put them in the slot and close the cover, it would be ok. But I guess you would know better than I would. Thanks.
