Early Voting ~

Early voting began yesterday in NC.  My friend will be "working the polls" ~ I bet high heels are required!  :)
  
Since the Vice Presidential Debate, dentists nationwide have seen a sudden spike in business.  I'm sure many new procedures are in place BIDEN now:

Teeth pulled today, beautiful new set BIDEN night.

Learn when to BIDEN your tongue and when not to BIDEN your tongue.

Special weekend price.....BIDEN tooth for one. 

Ask for "The BIDEN & BEAUTIFUL" package. 

I guess the VP had been watching "Gladys Friday" videos ~ probably had her on his mind....thus the SMILE.  I guess he was just BIDEN MORE time?!??!!!!  

Congratulations to the NCHFMA ~ Health Insurance Institute in Greensboro ~ a record attendance with 447 attendees!  What a wonderful group it was!  What a fun time we had!  It was an honor to be invited again to be the Keynote Speaker.  The committee decided to tell the audience that Denise "had an emergency" and "Gladys" had to "fill in" ~ and "fill in" she did.  Just a few comments about "Gladys" performance:

"Places To Go, People To See & All Under CONTROL"

I will never forget the day many years ago that a dear manager friend of mine held a staff meeting during lunch, followed by her visit to the restroom.   Exiting the restroom and hearing sirens in front of her building, she quickly walked through the lobby, addressing and reassuring each and every patient.  Seeing the flashing lights through the glass doors, she greeted the firemen, walked all around the office with them and together they confirmed it was a false alarm.  She walked back through the hallways of her practice, letting all physicians and staff know that things were "under control".  One person came to her with more news, "Excuse me mam, your skirt is tucked up into your pantyhose!"  That was their first experience with "herassment" :)    Things really were "UNDER CONTROL" (TOP PANTYHOSE)!

It's a terrific day to be "Gladys Friday" ~ 

  
I enjoyed being invited back again as the Keynote Speaker for NCHFMA Health Insurance Institute Conference yesterday.  It was a wonderful day!  Thanks to everyone who had a part in this well organized event.  More FUN TIMES!

Medical Records with a True Twist ~

Good afternoon Friday Fans ~ 

A patient went to the doctor recently with edema (swelling) in her legs.  After the office visit, the physician dictated the following note:   "Patient comes to me today with edema in both legs."  This note was transcribed electronically and entered into her chart as:  "Patient comes to me today with a demon in both legs"  I bet that was the same patient that had "slipped on ice and apparently her legs went in separate directions in early December"  One leg must have been trying to separate from those demonic ways.  

Have a wonderful weekend ~ begin it with a grin ~ from "Gladys Friday" ~ your FRIEND

Wrinkle Cream

Have you noticed just how many "CREAMS" there are?  Creams for stretch marks, creams for sunburn, for ringworm, for eczema, hemorrhoids, scars, age spots....all kind of creams.  Well, Denise Price Thomas had a birthday recently and I, being her good friend "Gladys Friday" gave her a new "WRINKLE CREAM"   (subtle hint, ya think?)  After using it for a month, Denise began to notice she was actually looking much OLDER.  "We" wondered how that could happen so "we" looked at the box together (Denise & "Gladys").....and you won't believe what we read......

Enjoy your Labor Day Holiday ~ 

Recycled "Get Well Cards" to keep visitors away ~

I've determined that everyone we meet delivers a smile ~ some smiles are delivered when they walk into our office.....(or our lives) and others deliver a smile when they walk OUT of our office (or out of our life).  

I remember years ago playing "hooky" from church one Sunday when my girls were very little.  We just needed a lazy kind of day...just the three of us.  We didn't get out of our pi's all day!  Toys were all over the place, dirty dishes were in the sink, we were having a picnic on the floor and it was a day of reading books and all about them.  A very special day.  THEN.....KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK!  There was a knock on the door!!!  Who could THAT be?  There were two ladies standing on my porch, Sunday School books in hand.  Seems that we were missed......BUSTED!  I barely opened the door as they peeked all around me, their heads stretching, going from side to side to get a good look, they could see that we were a MESS and so was the house!   They also saw the "get well cards" that I KEEP lined up on the table in the foyer just in case someone comes by and the house is a wreck....I get to hear them say "well BLESS HER LITTLE HEART, SHE HAS REALLY BEEN SICK!"   

They quickly covered their nose and mouth with their hands and off the porch they went.  Their tail lights looked SO NICE pulling out of the driveway....thus a smile was delivered.  My girls and I continued our picnic enjoying our lazy kind of day...with a smile.  

Because we are all "Gladys Friday" today ~ be sure to create some lazy days with those you love & enjoy!   Let me know if you need some "get well cards"

GEROWINDS (In Home Carowinds for Seniors)

Have you noticed the TV commercials advertising chair lifts for your home?  It is obvious they are so much fun because everyone on the commercial is laughing and smiling up and down the stairway.  "WEEEEEE"  In fact, it looked like so much fun that my husband ordered one!  It has now been installed in our home on the stairway that leads to the bar downstairs.  He loves it!  He is able to stack 4 cases of beer on it and send it downstairs to the bar without hurting his back, which delivers him a smile.  Once the beer has been consumed,  he can still be the designated driver this way....riding it back up......laughing and smiling up and down the stairway.   No worries.  So whenever you see the commercial again, just remember where those people with smiles are headed ~ "CHEERS!"  

But hold on to your hat.....it is GEROWINDS ~ the new In Home Carowinds for Seniors.  Takes our breath away ~ ~ ~ ~  ~ ~

What people are saying about "Ms Gladys"

New "employee" added to the "Gladys Friday" program ~

"Ms. Gladys" just wanted you all to know that there's a brand new employee who has just entered her program.  The new employee name:  "Sawyer Ashe" ~ now working in the colonoscopy clinic.  "Sawyer Ashe" was previously employed by a crematory center, having tunnel vision yet a desire to be around a more lively group of people and shed more light on the subject.    "Sawyer Ashe" is excited at the opportunity to see things through a different light and is excited about joining our program....things are already "looking up!"  






A SURPRISE appearance was made by "Ms Gladys" last evening following a terrific LIFT event (Ladies In Fellowship Together).  The evening was filled with wonderful music, the message delivered by Denise Price Thomas was "Mirror Mirror on the Wall...Who Am I After All?"  and then......after a quick and secret change of character (and clothing) "Ms Gladys" stole the mic.   Smiles were contagious all over the room of 283 women...which was a sell out!  Thank you, First Baptist Church, Clover, SC for the invitation.  This was a terrific, well planned event!   Ladies came from "all around" (some of US are more around than others).   It was truly an awesome night.  


I'm "Gladys Friday" and hope you are too.  Enjoy your weekend.....in JOY!
