Upper Respitory Johnson

When a guy grabs a girl (or guy), spins him/her upside down and then shoves his penis inside his/her mouth so quickly, aggressively, and deeply, that she has difficulty breathing and eventually develops an upper respitory problem. This is very unsafe, and has sometimes resulted in death. To upper respitory johnson someone is to be spun upside down and develop an upper respitory condition, as described above. Only for the most hardcore of us.
Wow, Frank just upper respitory johnson'd that guy!

respite care

Taking care of yourself is NOT a luxury, it is a necessity.

In 1985, I was so stressed out, I believed, you should NEVER use physical punishment, but I had spanked my child.
I confessed to my doctor and he referred me to an organization the could help.

In 1985, California's DCFS had a "Respite Program" & I was accepted.

The Rules for a Respite Program participant.

I was required to have a licensed/approved babysitter take care of all my children, only 2 for me.
I was required to have the sitter take over my responsibilities for 4 hours, once a week.

I was required to have the same exact day each week AND the same four hours each week.

I was required to agree that I would NOT do any chores or any errands DURING THAT 4 HOURS.
It was suggested that I start out the program, by spending r hours at the local park.
I MUST use those 4 hours ONLY to do "Fun" things.

Everyone's "Fun" activities are different, so 4 hours just enjoying a view (the park) will help you to discover OR Re-discover your "Fun" choices.

The program lasted 3 months with a possible 3 more months.
The program was " just what the doctor

Ordered", it worked wonders.

In 1991, I discovered an acquaintance that was in dire need of Respite Care.
She suffered from "Chronic Stress".

I provided her with the rules and volunteered to be her replacement.
She agreed, 4 months later, she was a totally different and much happier and healthier person and mother.
My 4 hours per week of "Respite Care" has greatly improved my quality of life.
