  1. Under no circumstances should she be allowed in 11' of anyone including herself with one of them infernal instruments.
  2. Poptart wish granted, but, they are all spinach/liver filled with cottage cheese frosting. I wish chocolate were a love potent.
  3. ahhhhh ! I got it DVD=time machine. Not unlike Professor Whoppie and the wayback machine. I wonder if Michael J/ Fox knows of this?
  4. Our Volunteer Fire has a good junior program taking 14-15 yo and 16-17 yo in different groups. Firefighting participation is limited by child labor laws and we strictly follow those laws. We have been in business long enough to produce some graduates who have become assets to our company. On the other hand sometimes our station looks like "Breakfast Club" but it does take a village to raise a child. The EMS division is not doing much, however, one real stumbling block is a prohibition of juniors riding vehicles in emergency response. The organization has some reservations about the liabilities of direct patient contact. Junior firefighters do train in CPR, FA and some to First Responder. All in all it is good for the company and good for the young men and women involved.
  5. Gawd y'all That is so funny. Had to hold myself to keep from needing a shamwow to clean up after myself.
  6. Right after i take my 2 fish sammiages w/tarter at the village mart, but before i select a drink and the elderly gentleman has a TIA and wipes out 2 phone poles and does not remember what happened.
  7. Boy; I wish I'd keep the numbers. Sporty you know, I have been in EMS since 1971 in one capacity or another. I have seen seat belt development from old simple lap belts. The vast majority of seat belt wearers have fared much better than their non-wearing counterparts but alas I have no numbers to back it up. All I can offer is my opinion based on my observations and recollections. Like they say, seatbelts save lives!! Lead by example, wear yours too. Heck, you already paid for them when you bought the car.
  8. She just wants to earn her wings, did you ever hear of the mile high club?
  9. I gotta kinda think that the govt' bailout money' will trickle down to a point where we troops in the field will get our nickles worth.

  11. 'Atta boy Ruff. One pat on the back for a citizen who saw a JDLR (just don't look right) and just let someone know. I just bet at least 50 pe ple saw that and just walked on by.
  12. Tell 'em Scuba. This B might include the "merit badge" courses in his EMS resume. ACLS, BTLS, EVOC, PEPP. The con-ed hours things can be passed over. 8)
  13. I wanna consider this route m'self. I hope it works out for you. :clock:
  14. Direct answer to your question. If you wire trailer lights (not really sure what they are) to a flasher you will have blinking or flashing trailer lights. If that is what you mean by strobe effect, you will get it. On the other hand, if you want double or triple flash pattern advanced stuff you can get that with a strobe. If local (or state) laws permit. I do have to agree, sounds kind of childish to me.
