about & disclaimer

My name is not Myra. I am not a nurse.

The Gimcrack is only a blog not a real place

my lover died from cancer on 2 september 2007. blogging is the one thing that really helps me deal with this loss. I don’t know when the pain will go away but writing helps me forget about it for a little while.

I live in (mostly) sunny sydney with my gorgeous gay son and his partner. every mother should try to have at least one gay son. they may grow up to be a hairdresser and their birthday gifts will always be tasteful. they will also never let you leave the house with lipstick on your teeth and they are usually very good at flower arranging. at least mine is.

    Dear nurse myra
    I am sitting in front of my favourite painting
    in my house by Stephen Birch.
    We were both at blackwattle studios in glebe during
    the mid nineties before it was pulled down
    and i bought this beautiful painting from stephen
    when i moved out of blackwattle

    I went to a couple of his shows and ran into him a coupla
    times last year.
    I only learnt of stephens death last night from
    mutual friends and i am just gutted. Had a good cry!!
    Talent, honest …you must miss him a lot. Love to you.

    Dear Nurse Myra,

    I love the website but on this occasion I am writing not just to thank you for the entertainment and wish you the best for 2008. No, I have in fact come to admonish you for your bad behaviour; mildly but in earnest. You are most welcome to use pictures from my educational website to titillate your readers, but please do acknowledge and credit any photos or content. I am sorry to say that if this behaviour continues, you may need to be taken in hand ….

    Doctor Laurie

    Dear Nurse Myra,

    You are very kind and as far as I am concerned this is already ‘worked out’. On re-reading, my message sounds more stern and less humorous that I had intended. I am of course in the AM camp. Keep up the good work (-:

    don’t recall how I stumbled upon your writings but it’s just the tonic after a 90 hour week in hospital with mostly elderly patients, and the dermatologic wax casting from the 19th century frenchman were lovely. We no longer see advanced cases for most of these diseases.

    Your writings are beautiful, sad and hilarious, and so wryly accurate. I am so very glad to have found your site

    Hi,

    It’s interesting to discover an entire blog based upon the spelling convention introduced by e e cummings, without uppercase orthography. For the moment, I’m not convinced that this convention is worthwhile, but I would be happy to examine a clear exposé of the pros and cons.

    Oh… well it’s just my alter ego who does that. The real-life me is a grammar and punctuation Nazi. Even when I am text messaging I utilise capitals, semi colons etc.

    I think it started because nursemyra is one word in lower case, then it progressed from there.

    nursemyra, thank you. Things have been very sad in my life recently and way too serious. Your site made me laugh and laugh, which souplifting.

    My two teenage girls also looked at it with me and found it just as funny. We had a lovely family bonding time, looking at ‘olden days sex toys and other stuff’ together.

    Hmmm, that doesn’t sound like the average family’s way of spending quality time together, but then again, they are not your average girls, I’m not the average mother, and it was pure gold for us.

    Dear Myra: Many thanks for the oral sex tutorial link. My wife should absolutely read this. And the next summer Olympic games should be moved from London to Hoboken, New Jersey.

    Here’s something I learned even before I was married: there is no joy in watching someone perform an act they are loath to do. It isn’t erotic. It’s sad.

    A few years back, when I ran my website, Avery Ant, I made a cyber friend who had lost her husband and soul mate. She had a website that was dedicated to his memory. It was about their time together. For her, the site was, of course, very cathartic and ultimately very helpful. In time, it took her through her dark tunnel to the other side. The side where things start to look better. I hope your fabulous blog does the same.

      Well fancy meeting you here VaGB. Currently you appear to be the funniest woman in the blogosphere, I’m thinking you too should come on the next holiday I take with daisyfae and dolce 😉

    Hi NurseMyra,

    I LOVE your blog. I was updating a post of mine and wanted to use a photo – I was on google and the photo I wanted to use ended up being one on your website. I have linked back the photo to your blog and also put your blog address under the photo and wanted to make sure this was ok. (e.g., when ppl click on the photo it comes directly to your blog) Check it out. If you have any concerns just let me know.

    Keep blogging!

    Dear Nurse Myra,

    My mother was named Myra and she was a nurse. She died over 5 years ago of cancer; she had been fabulously beautiful and thin in the 1950s, and part of that image required smoking. So it goes.

    I love your blog and wish you the very best.

    I’ve always said that I’d love to have a gay son. My ex is gay, my best friend is bi.. a gay son would be the perfect addition. Plus, he wouldn’t feel excluded seeing as I intend to have daughters mainly.

    Looove the history on your blog. Sylvia Brett etc. Very interesting…

    I write for therapy too and really think sometimes it is the only way I have stopped myself from going insane over the years. I can however only aspire to your level of greatness. There’s so much to explore here and I could be busy for hours.

    I am sorry that you lost someone so dear to you. I get cross when people talk of closure. There is no such thing. You don’t ever forget but eventually you somehow learn to live with and around the absence. I hope you are having more good days than bad now.

    Thank you for subscribing to my blog! (I really am excited about it).
    I have always wanted my very own gay. I fantasize about it. You can read about here:

    A gay son, however, would be my wildest dreams come true!

    Oh, and the con my wife and I met at? I was introduced by her gay friend, AFTER he hit on me. If you want, I’ll give you the whole story – it’s a hoot.
    Looking forward to much great stuff! 😀

        Not as of now. A number of various “blog buddies” keep insisting I should write one. As I’ve said elsewhere, I’m a “reactor”, feeding off other people’s ideas And lacking a job, kids, or much of a life anymore, I’m not sure where I’d draw the inspiration. I might take a page from my buddy Mark over at The Idiot Speaketh, and maybe do some reflections on my varied past as a World War 2 re-enactor, Trekkie and conventioneer, amateur photographer, racetrack corner worker at Road America in WI, and avid tourist, among others.
        By the by, if your Trekkie friends ever went to conventions, ask them if they heard of a fanzine publisher by the name of Bill Hupe. We were friends with them, and lived with them for a while right after my migraine-induced health crash 10 years ago. Bill often got to Oz and NZ, and had several friends he’d stay with while “down under”.

    My friends are HUGE fans but I don’t think they’re the convention type

    Why hello Nurse Myra,

    I’m not quite sure how I stumbled across your blog…. late night procrastination can lead you in wonderful directions!
    But I’m glad I did, it tickles my brain cells like nothing else. Am going to follow your blog with glee.

    First, thank you for the blog comment. Second, you have something really unique going on here. Usually when I read a new blog, it doesn’t seem very ‘new’, but I don’t think I’ve come across anything quite like this yet. Looking forward to more in the new year. Take care.

    A fine and wicked introduction, and there is nothing wrong about being artistic, I mean even I can arrange the flowers you know? 🙂 Have an excellent rest of weekend Nurse Myra and be good too, if you like I mean? 🙂 lol

    Call in for a Skeleton and Vampire surprise one of these evenings but do bring along a few sharpened stakes and a wooden mallet just in case…

    I have just sent you an invitation my friend,
    the skeletons are missing you and the local
    Zombie catcher is getting all excited about
    you calling back inside my Space, yes I told
    him that you weren’t really a Nurse but he is
    still getting hot and bothered… don’t worry I
    will sort him out before you call in for a bit,
    I mean for some, I mean… Well you know
    what I mean and I hope that you like the
    new look also 🙂

    Have a fun rest of week Nurse Myra 🙂

    I only just become one of your outpatients and really appreciate the informative on-line information service. Thanks, John
