Well, due to unforeseen circumstances (though I should have expected it since I posted I had a photo ready to be posted) I wasn't able to post at midnight. Instead I got to ring in the new year in the back of an ambulance on the way to a hospital. At least I wasn't the patient. I may be...

Come on, he could at least have waited for the stroke of midnight to propose.

I have my photo ready to post. Had to bribe the subject in the picture to get him to hold still. Just be glad he isn't all that fond of bananas, so a marshmallow candy had to do.

I once had a patient ask me if anyone had ever died in this ambulance. I told him quite honestly "Not during my watch" since I've never had a human patient die in front of me. I have no idea if anyone had died in that ambulance when I wasn't there, but at least the patient looked reassured for...

Around here, we use the "Hey you, its me" style. Usually something like "Dispatch? Basic __. (Insert message here.)" or if I'm calling someone else, it would be something like "Rescue __? Basic __. (Insert message here)"

I've never seen that in a huma... Wait, forget I said anything. Last time I said something like that, I got a call later that day involving something I had only seen/done to an animal in a vet clinic.

Eep. I need to read things a bit more closely. Well, I think the same guideline applies to me. I don't wear my national registry patch, but even if I did, I wouldn't wear it anyplace that would/could reflect badly on EMTs. Plus in class we were told that if you did display the star of...

When the public sees you with your department patches, you are seen as being the department, and what you do or not do reflects on the department. So I would say don't wear the patches to potentially controversial events without checking with the officers to make sure they're good with it...

Nearest Redbox to where I live is a 20 minute drive one-way. Ok, I'm not quite that bad. Nearest McDonalds takes me 50 minutes to get to. Yup, I'm another one living out in the sticks.

This image was shared to my wall from a relative. Thought I would share it here.

I try to avoid blocking family members, but I've had to for a couple that would post racial stuff right on my wall, and wouldn't stop when asked. At first I tried just deleting their posts, but that just seemed to encourage them to post more. I haven't tried limiting who sees what I post...

There is a way to limit what you see her. If you're sick of her flooding your feeds, click on her name so that you are brought to her wall. See where it "Friends" "Message" and then has what looks like a gear with a down arrow next to it? Click on the gear, and then click on "Report/Block". A...

I've pulled over to see if someone needed assistance before, but it was never something that happened in front of me. Usually its a car pulled over well before I arrived. Usually they've already called for help and is just waiting for a tow-truck, husband, police, etc. I've helped change a tire...

One year my younger brother discovered that the remote-controlled tree lights ran off the same frequency as his fart machine. So before the party that year, he hid the fart machine in the same room as the tree, and waited for our dad to show off his remote controlled lights. Which also set off...

I got a book called "Knits for Nerds" and another called "Cooking for Geeks". I got more yarn, more knitting needles, yarn needles, and other assorted knitting gadgets. A gift certificate to the gas station I usually fuel up at. Lots of assorted fabric for my quilt stash. A pendant with my first...

I knit hats. During the past year I knitted a bunch of hats, and sold them at a craft-fair. I sold all but 2 toddler sized hats. I also got a LOT of requests for adult sized 'critter' hats. Most of my requests are for monkeys. And it seems like every time I get one finished, I have another...

I was a chem minor, but I got mine from a biology major during the prank war when I put it in someone's Pepsi Blue. There is a food coloring sometimes sold as 'Natural Red' that will turn urine red if you eat enough, but I would not suggest using it as a prank. I know far too many people who...
