Richard

Portage la Prairie, Manitoba Moving to Alberta before the snow flies. hoorah

It seems interesting enough. I may have a preconceived idea of the kind of people who will more than likely be in attendance (faith healers and hippies,) but I wonder if bringing up the point that all the guided imagery in the world is kind of moot if no one thinks to call 911 or apply pressure to the squirting artery. Do you know if it's a lecture followed my a question period? Let us know how it all turns out.

I got lost on my way to university.

Stay away from the fish head soup too. I do, however, have a sneaking suspicion they were just putting one over on the white guy with that one.

Hehehehe, it's beluga whale skin. Tasty tasty. Your REALLY want a culinary delight? Try the aged walrus. Mmmmmmmm.

Go. Go now. If you turn this down it will be the worst mistake of your life. An even bigger mistake than marriage. I worked all across the high arctic for almost 10 years. There is no where in the world like it. Iqaluit is a shithole, but oh well. Go. Seriously. If you have any specific questions, PM me.

I had sex with myself because I'm sexy and do what I want. Wow, scary how accurate that is eh?

while carrying out a siege on a castle, Richard was killed by a crossbow bolt. Richard did not have any children and before he died he arranged for ... AHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH I rule.

Replace the sugar in the container by the coffeemaker with MSG. It looks the same and tastes like ass. I get my old man with that at least once a year. This one from the old lifeguarding days. We had to put a cover over the hot tub every night when we closed to conserve heat. I put the little kid CPR dummy under the tarp face down. The maintainence guy in the morning nearly died of fright when he pulled off the tarp in the morning. 8)

I've always found there is a difference between good stress and bad stress. I do my best work under good stress. ie. Insane deadlines, anything to do with search and rescue or patient care. What grinds me down is the bad stress, of which I seem to have a lot of. such as no money for bills, messy house, broken car, women troubles, and running out of smokes a week before payday. The real petty meaningless shit. For myself, I find if I can keep my personal life and finances in some kind of order, good stress doesn't seem to bother me. I feed off it somehow until I can't physically move anymore. But I still feel good. Cheers

I've been thinking about this all day. and I keep getting more angry. What the hell? Wanna carry a gun? become a cop. Join the army. I did, and then I got sick and tired of cleaning the damn thing all the time. Get with the friggin program. This isn't Saving Private Ryan here for God's sake. We're medics goddammit, Not cowboys. The dumbasses packing in a rig should be fired on the spot. And furthermore, If I ever caught my partner with a weapon, I hope I would have the chance to pistol whip him. Thus endeth the sermon.

Keep fighting it. These idiots make the rest of us look like a bunch of security- guard - wants - to - be - a - cop assholes. Not to mention what will happen to them if it all goes horribly wrong. Besides, are they willing to pull the trigger? They may say they are, but I bet my bottom dollar they'd hesitate and wind up getting shot. Or hey, take a more proactive approach, and try to find out who they really are and report them to their respective services. I love guns, I love em. But on this one, I agree. Leave the damn things at home for God's sake.

OWW, my pride. I just started, and don't know where to get steroids, so results may vary. I also hate doing it. hahahahhahahahah

I really enjoy starting political arguments with left wing types and watching them lose their pointed little minds. also, I lift weights till I cry. and then, if nothing else works, I drink beer and glare at people who bug me.

I always shook my head when my old Lt. used to say he could read us 4.5 by 5. The scary thing is, he was never joking.

I hate baseball, but in the spirit of the thing, and to cause trouble with my American brethern, I think the Toronto Blue Jays will win it. Just like that time they won it 2 years in a row. Cheers

I'm a fairly religious guy, hehehe, I can see all your jaws dropping from here. I don't want to get into a debate about it, because it would probably rage for 6 or 7 pages like a debate on abortion or gun control. But I don't believe in it. I believe in adaptation, but not evolution. It makes no sense to me.

Steve, I'll take your test just for the sheer hell of it. Are we gonna still be buddies when I pull the answers our of my ass? I want to do it just to see how I do on what I've heard and seen above my own scope. I won't even look up the answers.

hehe, lets just sit back and watch this shit happen. as much fun as it would be, I think it would go horribly, horribly wrong. Admin would have to add a "sexual harrassment complaint" thread.

I'm sure I posted this elswhere on this forum, but I originally got into the field because I get off on adrenaline. As time goes on, I guess I'm forced to reevaluate why I like it again. As much as I like the rush, and I do, I've found it isn't everything. I've never been a hugely compassionate person, but I've found that patching up little kids scraped knees is every bit as rewarding as jumping out of a helo into a lake and humping 500 miles across the arctic looking for the guy that crashed his cessna. (I exxagerate a little, but you get the idea) I always thought that being good at something like this meant being as hard and hairy chested as possible. Recently, I have discovered that you have to be a human being too. Who knew? Anyway, my point is, The new and improved reason I am in EMS is for the challenge. Mental, physical, and emotional. I see something broken and try to fix it, or at least patch it up. I figured I wouldn't last long riding the adrenaline wave alone.

I think we need to see some election posters first

What level? Write an intermediate exam and I'll give it a go

hahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhaa awesome

Just remember there is a hell of a difference between "not guilty" and "innocent" Like I said last night, I wonder how much he paid his jury selection consultants. They sure earned their paychecks eh?

Sorry guys, I have to say it: Why does MJ like twenty-eight year olds? ................................. Wait for it................................ ................................. Because there are 20 of them.
