Stopped at 70... Passed!

I don't have a picture of this but during hurricane Ike a sign in front of a shell off site training building had one single letter blown off which happened to be the s in shell so the sign read "Welcome to hell off site training".

I am considering starting my first semester of EMT-B classes during my last semester of high school but I'm still not 100% sure which route to take. I only have 4 classes this year (which obviously shouldn't be too hard but since school just started up again it's too early to tell how much...

I don't have any advice but I'll be checking this thread for suggestions. I'm only 16 and I have constant back pain. I was in a car accident about 7 months ago (like 5 days before christmas) and I never did anything about it. Physical therapy was offered to me but I thought since I wasn't hurt...

Hey there, welcome. I hope to do the same thing as far as taking the course while I'm still 17. Good luck with it!

I found this a few weeks ago somehow - http://www.radioreference.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-36654-p-1.html They're mostly police/fire but they're funny nonetheless. I pathetically read all 11 pages. lol.

My sister worked throughout her entire pregnancy. I don't remember exactly how many days were between her last shift and when she delievered but it wasn't much more than a week. The next shift she would have worked she gave birth to a healthy 8 pound baby boy. And with him being being an 8 pound...

http://www.phonezoo.com has a few different siren ones. They also have some fire tones I think. Here's one http://www.phonezoo.com/Ambulance-Siren___gPEWatRLtY00dk5xztFAAA___Ringtone.htm But like I said there is a lot so just search with siren and you can find some more.

"Katelynn" is my name, the hyphen is just... there. Doesn't mean Kate is my first name and Lynn is my middle name (I get asked that a lot). It's all one word, just like Caitlin. And since I have no creativity what-so-ever I just used it as my username!

Oh ok. Like I said I wasn't sure...

Wouldn't that be considered abandonment? I don't know if I'm correct or not but from what I've learned it sounds pretty similar.

This is true. But I still agree with the fact that people who are more likely to drink and drive are more likely to be the ones talking the whole time and saying how stupid it is and just not caring because they think "that will never happen to me".

My school does the same thing described in the first couple of posts. They actually do it the last two days before spring break. It's called "Shattered Dreams" here and it's only once every other year. Being in high school I can say that, from experiencing it, it really doesn't effect people...

I thought only Texans did that. lol. BossyCow's advice sounds like a good first step. Once you get back into it and become more confident in your skills I think you'll be able to deal with things a bit better. Esp. after realizing you're competent and able to do what needs to be done. Good luck!

Amen!... lol. Good to know I'm not alone. Because sometimes I feel like I am. Thanks for the welcome everyone :).
