Why are there no people in the chat section?

hmmmmmmmm???????

 

[Trayos]

Because we are taking up all the room?

Tell me about it. I'm in the same boat.

My suggestion would be to get married to someone really poor and move to another state.

Married students can claim as independent. You'd have to give your spouses tax information - so make sure you marry someone really poor.

Colorado is consistently ranked #49 or #50 in the nation for state funding of higher education, and the tuition and fees at public colleges and universities are sky-rocketing as a result. Our only public medical school is about to lose accreditation and collapse because the state only provides 2% of their money and they're threatening to cut that even more.

Ya know that's about the only decent reason to get married that I've heard in a while. Too bad I can't get most girls to look at me

I missed Clear Creek - we sent like 5 or 6 from our team though. Seemed interesting - and windy.

That's interesting that you all clip in. If someone trips and falls don't they kinda tilt the litter and bring it down a bit with them? We were trained to yell "falling" and let go immediately if we felt like we were tripping, so that we didn't pull down the litter.

Yeah I think the helmet thing is generally a good idea. I heard it was pushed by CSRB and implemented on our team 6 mo - a year after I joined. When I started we would often not wear helmets unless working at any angle or around falling rock... that kind of stuff.

I learned about sun/safety glasses the hard way. I mean, I had already known and always worn them, but one time I accidentally forgot them. We were searching for a body across a steep slope with lots of brush and gnarly stuff (5+ mo. missing after probable suicide). I was looking around, turned my head and blinked and felt something between my eyelashes - a mean old twig. This ranks as one of my most terrifying moments in SAR.

Nah, we clip into the litter via some of our hand-tied loops, lots of play. Even if you trip, the 5 other people are supporting it, and it usually doesn't cause an issue. It also allows us to more evenly distribute the weight load.

Only takes one time to remember the glasses. I got a scrub oak branch right across the bridge of my nose... glasses are good for helping with that!

I'm sad.

24 series finale was on Monday. Best show EVER, and have watched every episode since its airing in 2001.


I take solace in the fact a movie is in the works and isn't too far off.






But I swear... first MadTV and now 24... if Fox cancels COPS, I am never going to watch them again.

 

[Seaglass]

I'm sad about Law & Order. End of an era, seriously.

WHOA! WHOA! WHOA!!!!! Hold on a sec......it's OVER? I apparently need to stay up on these things. Who is the idiot who is ordained that to happen? What am I going to watch now. COPS and L&O are seriously the only two thing I ever watch on TV. (Other than college football of course. Oh yea, and the NY Yankees games.) But other than that!

Yep, ended on the 24th. Of course, there are lots of other Law & Orders out there to watch... but they're not the same.

New shift bid tomorrow... Hopefully I can get on one of the CCT units or an overnight unit...

Once Jerry Orbach passed away the show was never the same. SVU, on the other hand, is still going strong. I think what they are doing is the right decision.

This weather is KILLING ME!!! It is almost June and it is trying to snow. Memorial Day Weekend is comnig up and we still don't have our mountian passes open yet. Forest Service roads are still snowed over and the rivers (which should be ripping good) are not getting enough snow melt... This weather is making it hard to get out and play.

 

[LucidResq]

Over the next two weeks I have interviews for....

-911 Dispatch
-ICU tech
-Family Planning clinic MA


Can you say quarter-life crisis? Yeesh.

Can't argue that, but it was still better than most of what's on. I never really got into SVU, for no real reason, so no comments there.

Good luck!
