Offering is not, but if the husband accepted, he might be looking for divorce lawyers. Or the CEO couldn't care less and lets him play. It depends on how she feels.

'95 Honda Accord. That's it.

Flight Simulator X. It has a large following, with a sizable portion doing everything they can to make it as real as possible. Basically, you can fly just about any plane anywhere in the world (there's no objective). PMDG is a company that makes planes, and they have done the MD-11. You pay for it, but it's top of the line.

I've never used it, but if POSKY has the MD-11, it'll also have a panel to go with it. Can't comment on the quality. Here's a few MD-11s if you want to check them out: http://simviation.com/1/search?submit=1&keywords=md-11&x=0&y=0 For the quadrant, is it a pin connector or a USB one?

There's a POSKY MD-11 if you want one. PMDG is as good as it gets though. For the quadrant, have you downloaded drivers for it?

If a private club wants to exclude any particular group, why aren't they allowed to do so (according to you)? It will turn off some potential members, but that is the private club's own choice. There's a man-only club where I live that is full of pretentious guys, but as such, it is their right to disallow women and just as there are men-only clubs, there are women-only clubs, Jewish-only clubs, black-only clubs, large-boob clubs, etc. It's a tradition that women are not invited into the (private, non-government funded) club and they choose to uphold that. I fail to see why that's "wrong."

A good solution for getting rid of smells that I've found is to wash your hands in 2 parts water to 1 part lemon juice, then (without drying), get your hands coated in baking soda, and wash off with the water-lemon mix, then dry.

These are from a book called Disorder in the American Courts and are, allegedly, things people actually said in court, word for word, taken down and published by court reporters.

Are you just going into lifting right away? Not stretching will lead to soreness. As for South Beach, I've known a few people who did and all were miserable with it.

http://psychcentral....es/violence.htm http://www.ncbi.nlm....les/PMC1525086/ I'm not saying they will be dangerous, just that they can be. In any case, I still think people should be avoided in said scenario. (I do know several people with some form of mental issues themselves. They have no problem in society. What I'm more focused on are the ones who have already committed crimes, not mental health issue community in general.)

They could be. They may either ignore you or be bent on killing you. Provided they escape in the first place, it's going to depend on their illness and the severity of it. At least with looters you have a chance to appeal to them. I thought of the backyard, but I decided against it as a padlock won't really keep determined people out and using it as a latrine exposes yourself and leaves signs of activity. For the extra gas, using a car to move has to be decided if it's worth the risk. You can move faster, but you're also a much bigger target, and it's a target that can't go on forever. Gas pumps depend on electricity, and in the scenario, there's none. Moving out of city should actually be plan A. If the grid was out right now for three days? Would be tough, but I could survive. Some other things I forgot - The prison populace and drug users will have to be contended with. Hardcore drug users are going to be far more brave (or is it stupid?) at going into houses. If you are broken into and a fight ensues, you should be ready to leave in minutes. It's going to get much worse if you stay. Add backpacks to my list, with water, clothes, food (MREs are good here), ammo (keep the gun on your person. Seconds can make the difference), flares, and handcrank flashlights. It'll be dangerous, but far better than remaining at the house. Also, if you have a private pilot's license or know how to fly, getting to the airport (assuming there's no immediate danger), loading a prop plane, and flying away to a remote area will be much safer than remaining in the area. Last thing - don't answer the door for anyone during this period. They can be coerced by other people. Richard - Flares for friendlies and can also make a last resort gun. Government could be restored and S&R parties sent, so flares can also signal them. For the garage, I was assuming an attached garage. Backyard might be your best bet then.

1 month with no services for a family of 5? Should be interesting. I'm assuming you can't leave your house as you said and you have the entire house to live in. No power is assumed since powerplants would shut off after a few days with no one to run them and no utilities (to include heat and water). What I would stock/do if I were you - -A gun (Seriously. You'll get rioting after a few days of no services. A handgun should be fine but looters may be more heavily armed) -Ammo for said gun -Hand crank flashlights (Electric ones are fine as long as you have batteries for them, but a hand crank or two should still be included) -Water (A few hundred gallons would work. See your monthly usage for the best figure though. Need enough for food, drinking, and showers every other day.) -Canned food + dry food -Plywood for boarding all windows except one encourage ventilation (back window out of sight) (also good for deterring looters) -Padlocks (lock fence and garage) and also block entry doors -Toilet paper + soap -Diapers -Powder milk -Blankets -Handcrank radio -Flares -Safety box for storing flares and gun -If you can, get the car in the backyard. Use the garage as a bathroom and trash area (You can probably get masks for the smell). Save the bathrooms for showers and spread a few trash bags worth over the front lawn to make it seem like you've already been looted. -Stock up on books for everyone (perhaps some coloring ones too for the kids), board games, activities, etc. Counteracting the boredom is going to be important. -Have a panic room for the family when the threat of looters is present (assume if you see them, they're going to target your house). -Light only what you need to at night. When looters are near, all lights should be off. Wait at least 30 minutes after you last see looters to turn back on any lights. -Mental patients may also escape. They can be the worst threat. -If government is wiped out, always get on board with whatever one pops up. You may not like it, but it's important not to make enemies. What's above is for a general thing, such as a super virus that's spread. If we're talking end of days, you need to live in Fort Knox for that.

I PM'd the text of the story to you. It is continuous.

http://www.popsci.com/science/article/2012-02/no-pulse-how-doctors-reinvented-human-heart?page=all Thought this was interesting.

I vary between flight sim (this is a big hobby of mine), and creating random computer models when I'm not under contract or don't have anything to do. Right now though, I'm reading some EMT books I picked up. Example of a model. This is an ambulance that I've been messing with- http://i740.photobucket.com/albums/xx48/cscboulder11/ambulance.jpg

"Can the paramedic save a life?" I don't see why not. Granted, he can't save everyone, but there are lives that can be. " And if so is he a hero for doing so." To the family he saved, yes. To others, he's most likely viewed as doing his job. "Is it arrogant of ones self to call himself a hero?" Yes. "Hero" shouldn't be a term you deem yourself. "And what makes a hero or a lifesaver?" Hero - going far above and beyond, putting yourself in harm's way for others, although I think hero can have a broad definition. Lifesaver - what the title says, to put it simply

Thought you guys would like this - occasional language)

I was wondering what a call would involve and if there was any standardization that would be involved. As for calling it a bus, that's what I've picked up on 2 other people in my family who work healthcare (both are RNs, one's in Colorado and the other one is in Kentucky).

Searched around, but I couldn't find anything. If there is something, please point me to it. When you're going out on a call, how do you decide who drives? This is assuming that the entire crew is (legally) able to operate a bus. On a related note, how big is a typical crew that goes? I've always thought it was two, but I've seen some videos where there were 3 or 4 people.

It's a little early for me, but in time, sure. Be aware I would probably have 1,001 questions for you though.

Perhaps I should've clarified what I was searching. I was looking more at job qualifications, salary range (I'm not a money hunter, but I need to be self-sufficient.), what type of training is involved, etc. Before I started searching, I thought all EMTs = paramedic... the things you learn. I hadn't even thought about any additional benefits in terms of employment. Yet another reason to go after EMS. For now, my scope is very limited and I'm not going to pretend to know something when I don't, so my scope is rather limited, but I'll try to find threads that are open to input from a starting civilian. Another reason why I like this site. I see a chance to learn everywhere and would rather have someone give it to me straight than telling me otherwise.

Guess I should introduce myself. I've been lurking for a month or so and finally decided to register. I'll be taking a EMT course at my college in the fall, so in the meantime, I've been searching about EMS in general. I'm currently an aeronautical engineering student, but I've always had a big interest in EMS and if I don't pursue it now, I know I'll regret it. Currently, I'm a computer modeler under contract, although it's not a big hobby of mine. I may not have the slightest clue what you guys are talking about 90% of the time, but I aim to make that change. Should wrap this up though... back to lurking.
