Sphygmomanometer

Neighbor came over this evening, asking if we had a BP cuff to borrow. We did.

This is terribly funny, when you think about it. A cup of sugar? Stereotypical. Sphygmomanometer? Less so.

She'd developed eclampsia and delivered her baby early, so I sat her down, and she gathered herself and told us a little of what she'd been through the last week. I hugged her, and D got batteries in case.



Friend from Jr.High/High School sent me this just now.



My memory of this event is very hazy, although I recall both of us in our respective costumes.

I can't even spell "Sphygmomanometer"(I cut-and-pasted it from your post).

You look terrific in your costume.

I brought pasta across the street when they ended up running short at an event there where they were entertaining. Not nearly as out of the ordinary as what you had been asked.

Fresca,
Try saying it three times, fast.

I think we both do.

Phil,
Past is reasonable, if not predictable. But she knows I'm a nurse, so it's not completely random.
