Things are tough all over

Just got back from packing up about a million "hygiene kits" that our church provided. My dear sweet precious gorgeous friend Jill Ann, that's Dr. Jill Ann, is headed to Haiti with Mission to the World tomorrow. She'll be there about two weeks or so. Please pray for her protection, both her body and her soul. Jill Ann's a pediatrician and I know she is going to see some things that will break her heart. I am so proud to call her friend and oh, how I wish I were going with her!

Plus, her hair is quite fabulous.

Speaking of doctors. And hygeine.

Driving home, I saw this.



Now, am I crazy because I just wouldn't care to go to a downtown-doc who used this means of marketing? Seriously?

"Stop the car!! I been looking all over for me a new gy-no! Write down that number before the next storm hits and blows it down!"

Or is it just me??

You are hilarious. That's how I find all my doctors. We go for a drive and see who's put up a sign in someone's yard. :)

I am from an area with a bit of a OBG shortage. And by bit I mean you don't get one unless you have a high risk pregnancy or your girl parts are falling out.
I'd take Dr. Bad Advertising in a heart beat:)

Um ... yeah. You'd think a good obgyn could at least afford an ad in the phone book. Who thought this was a good idea?

Seriously! I am with you on this means of marketing...:)

Praying still for Haiti.

Blessings,

You and Jill Ann look far too fabulous for packing up hundreds-o-pounds-o-hygiene kits. Wink! Cute pic!

And girl, you aren't one bit crazy, but that sign sure is! And the fact that you decided to photograph it and include it in your blog! Wish I had a little of your funny in my brain! :)
