AK...I've had too long and hard a weekend for this shit.... I have to confess...you had me there for a second...but...that probably doesn't surprise you. After all...I HAVE been KNOWN to have a few dingy moments here and there.....but who's counting... Nice try though..... :wink: 8

:stop: OK...I don't usually challenge or criticize anyone for their comments...but this was not fair and was one of the poorest comments I have seen by anyone to date.....and forgive me...but I think you may owe all the fine people on this board an apology that DID get into the field late!! At what age you decide to do a job does not make you a success or a failure....It is, rather, how well you do your job and how seriously you take it. I would take a lot of the old timers on this board FAR before I would take some young ones.... By the same token...there are some very very young people that impress me every day! It's a matter of character, personal integrity and circumstance. Age means nothing... It's how you learn and use your skills, and the knowledge that you gather that make or break you at this job. By saying there is an age limit to anyone's capabilities in this job is crazy. Look at Rid....he keeps going and going and going, and I guarantee you he could kick both our asses and for that matter, most everyone on this board with his medical knowledge, level of professionalism and patient care tactics... It doesn't matter whether you start at 21 or 38, or whether you work until 50 or 90....your capabilities are your capabilities....you are what you are...you are what you make of yourself... Please be serious here.... I don't mean to come off sounding mean but your comment was ridiculous... 8

Sicko! :shock: LMFAO!

Well said Dust...I completely agree...just because it CAN be administered by an EMT doesn't make it BLS drug or situation. :error: 8

I had sex with a Baseball Bat because Im sexy...and I do what I want..... :shock: WOWwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww...... :roll: 8

Mine says....... 36% Dixie. You are definitely a Yankee. :roll: xoxoxo 8

:shock: LMFAO!!!!! That.....is SO gross......

I have to second Dust here.....Great attitude Julian!!! =D> I like how you think, as well... xoxo 8

Ho Ho Freakin' HO........ At least Santa has been good to SOMEONE...... WOW.... That's COOL!

You know what's scary here.....that everyone has such different opinions.... :shock: LMFAO..... I'm going to go along with the A-Fib with ectopy....makes the most sense to me... :roll: 8

:oops: LMFAO....Red...you are a sillysally.... 8) 8

LMAO...sorry Rid...that was funny. Congrats....you made me laugh on what is otherwise an impossible ucky Monday morning.... xoxoxo 8 :wink:

They both take notice of "bad girls" too...... hmmmm..... :shock: 8

I like that.....LMAO..... 8

Unfortunately...sometimes they never understand. Sometimes they never "get it"......sometimes it's the price you pay for your "other love".... Because of my dedication to this profession, I was constantly told that I "loved EMS more than him"... How do you even reply to that? How do you even fight that? I give up. Make your decision and go with it. You have to keep an open mind and try your best to maintain what you love....but at the same time, he has to be supportive of your dreams. Unfortunately, both elements have to be present for things to work, and most often they are not. Whatever you decide...I hope you will be happy. :wink: It's not an easy decision, and most of us have been there before. Just be at peace with your decision, whatever it may be. The end result of this job is not really glamorous...and we all know that. I choose to stay, because it's what makes me happy. Make sure that end the end, you don't regret making the decision that you have made. Good luck! xoxoxo 8

OMG!!!! WTF!!??? It says those camel spiders can run 10 mph. I swear....if one of those things came anywhere near me...heck...if I even saw one, we're talking certain cardiac arrest right here.... Beetles, and other creepy crawly things....I can sorta handle....spiders...not so much. THAT spider...no way in hell. As far as the killer ice worms...I'm scared to look! Geez Squint...are you trying to kill me or something? :shock: 8-[ 8

LMFAO..... Wow....responses I didn't know I'd get. Good to know you agree Wackie....Rid.... :wink: Ace...as always, thanks for the entertaining pics. She definitely looks like she could handle most anything. I'd let her be my partner anytime. LOL! In fact...she brings along those guns...she can pretty much do anything she wants... Seriously though...it's good to see that others share my point of view and my frustration. It's probably #1 on my peeve list. :banghead: xoxoxo Luv 8

uh...... Killer Ice Worms? Camel Spiders? :shock: WTF?!?? 8

LMAO...big long snakes don't scare me....no prob. But...throw a spider on me or let one sneak up on me, and folks, you've got yourself ANOTHER patient. :shock: I pass out. Damn...I hate it, :oops: but what am I to do?!!?? It's my one true weakness. Hate those damn things. Would rather SLEEP with a snake than have a spider anywhere near me! UCK!

At least this person had the good sense to "try" to cuckoo...I prolly woulda barked or something. LMFAO! Luv, 8

WOW.....how BOOOORRRRing :roll: ......I'll take my helicopter any day.....after all kids...bigger is not always better.... :wink: 8

And...most likely...she won't. I'll never forget "trusting" my partners to check the truck themselves on two different occasions when I was busy in the a.m. These were people that were, for the most part, competent, or so I thought. The first time something was missing,I caught it, and fixed it. No prob. The second time, I didn't, and got my ass super-reamed. NEVER again, will I ever trust anyone below me to make sure things are as they should be. If I don't see it with my own eyes...I trust nothing. I should have been able to trust them...however...fact remains...it was my charge, and therefore, my fault. No amount of finger pointing is going to help that. Unfortunately, it's not always fair and you just have to swallow it. It only took once for me....never again. In fact...several times recently I have re-checked behind people and found problems. If I had let my guard down....I would have been reamed again. Good luck...hope things get better for you. Remember.....trust no one. The best way to remedy this is to check everything YOURSELF. Even if someone else says they did...do it yourself. It only takes a few minutes, and then you have the peace of mind to KNOW that everything is ok. Plus, it makes it look even that much better on you when NOTHING like this happens on your shift. It only takes one responsible person....just go ahead and be that person. Sucks...but someone's gotta do it... :roll: Luv, 8

:shock: I got it right....and....*gulp*...I found it actually very easy. It was the first thing that popped into my head....but I swear...I've never killed anyone...well... :roll: ...uh...er....not that I THINK, anyway..... at least not involving anything messy.... *I swear...he was in asys the WHOLE time I had him...* LMAO. :wink: Good times.....fun question...should I be worried? LMFAO... xoxo Luv, 8

:roll: I guess I work the opposite of things.....that would NOT make me go to sleep. lmao. 8

Hmmm...as a matter of fact, I HAVE appeared on camera. But it wasn't as a goat.......do you still have that videotape, PRPG?... The person below me has a strange fantasy of being tied up with licorice to the front of a speed boat. :shock:
