I plan on laughing myself to death after out-running three jealous young husbands.

In 1948 I was in a polio ward. A priest had already administered last rites. A nurse noticed a red area on one of my toes - it was a spider bite. A specialist was brought from Chicago and I was saved. I was lucky that the nurse was observant - God bless her. Now, many years later, I still have visions of polio survivors with their leg-braces.
God bless the medical researchers and the medical professionals and their support cadre.

Those were fun. The last one brought a tear to my eye.

Thirty years ago I was an alternate in a three-way personal claim case involving heirs and a religious sect. We heard the three side's opening statements and adjourned for lunch. Before we left, the judge gave us instructions not to discuss the case amongst ourselves or with anyone else. Upon returning we were ordered to a separate room and left there for and hour or so. We were then led back to the jury box and the judge began to berate us for failing to abide to his instructions. After ten minutes of admonishment - he was fuming at us, he told us what had happened. At a lunchroom a juror witnessed one of the other jurors and one of the claimants having lunch together and discussing the case! She reported it to the bailiff and writs hit the fan! Why the judge yelled at all of us confused and angered me for a couple of reasons; I did do anything wrong, and the trial was really interesting. We were dismissed from further jury duty and I have always wondered what the final outcome was.
