A couple of signs outside of the Royal Berkshire Hospital’s Medical museum left me completely discombobulated for all of 10 minutes. How do these signs work together, if at all?
Ambulances only
- as Medical Museum exhibits?
- as Medical museum visitors?
- Can park when delivering Medical Museum guests?
- Can park outside the medical museum but their occupants have more pressing engagements than exploring the undoubtedly fascinating preceding accoutrements of their current treatments.
The Royal Berkshire Hospital building facade is very impressive. Provision of a museum to enlighten the locals is a very thoughtful addition.
sixty-second in as unstructured Wednesday series of posts explaining my singleness.
Reason #62: easily confused.
The not being single thing is all way too complicated. My theory is that when it isn’t complicated then that’s the right match for me! Slam dunk, I’ll know because its all effortless and unconfusing. It will be like an atronought landing on planet Wendy.
“The combined science of citrus and ginger“
Citrus is Science?
Ginger is Science?
These two ‘Sciences’ can be combined?
Its enough to confuse a person into tripping up and bumping her nose on the floor. Do they mean ‘good effects’ the good effects of citrus combined with the good effects of ginger? If that is what they mean then I can continue walking without a nose bleed. I can’t be sure. It gets worse. Exfoliating body scrub? I can scrub my body without exfoliating it? Sometimes I can be so pathetic without noticing it.
science = good effect
twenty-fifth post in a confusing Wednesday series of “why wendy’s single“.
Reason # 25: discombobulating
My use of the English English language, sentence construction, grammar and idiosyncratic spelling can prove just too discombobulating for many local boys. Should I start conversing in standard conversational American?
thirteenth in a confusingly colourful series of Thursday posts about taking tiffin with (black, white, green, red) tea in the NW USA.
Thursday Tiffin #13 confusing colour tea taxonomy
-
Red tea: According to
Wikipedia red tea is actually black tea, with the exception of the South African Rooibos which isn’t actually a tea, just as herbal and plant infusions are not actually teas.
-
Green tea: According to
Wikipedia black tea is a type of Green tea. I think that makes Darjeeling a green tea that is a black tea and also a red tea. But I can’t be certain because I’m ever-so-slightly CONFUSED.

Black tea: according to
wikipedia black tea is the true tea and different from green tea. It’s not clear if Black and Green teas are mutually exclusive categories. The phrase black tea is used to refer to tea that doen’t have milk mixed with it. This could include Green teas. Before I came to the US the phrase black tea meant ‘without milk’ now I know better. Now I know enought to know that I’m CONFUSED.
I have to say that the colour based categorisation isn’t really working for me. Excel has kindly offered to work on producing a chart that makes the whole colourful tea experience more Wendy-friendly.
Hurrah!
This signpost confused me. We stopped, I took a photograph, was taking a photograph tantamount to loitering?
US Bank uses UK spelling. Confused me. I’m easily confused.
I have spent at least 350 days per year in the USA across the last 6 years. I am legally in the USA but I’m not legally recognised as ’resident’ here. Huh?
A US bank gave me a mortgage on a residential property 6 years ago. I have ‘lived’ 6 years in that property as my primary residence. I am legally in the USA but I’m not ‘resident’ here. Excuse me?
I pay taxes and social secuirty to the US government, no other government. I am legally in the USA but I’m not ‘resident’ here. I’m not entitled to any Social Security benefits for my 6 years of payments. I will never be entitled to anything for those 6 years payments to a US government infrastructure.
I have 2 work-permits and one ‘entry visa’ (Greencard Advanced Parole). I’m not really ‘resident’ here. Am I?
I am easily confused.
I am confused.
I am
