Agreed. BWLGL2 was a crass commercial venture. With 3, they regained their artistic integrity. Michael

Yeah, I was pretty sure you wouldn't get it. Sorry. Michael

Well, I'm not making a call on their preparation or lack of it, but they were in the projected storm track for days prior to the storm hitting. Michael

The Patriot Act

I agree. Who gives a shit? Not weird and obtuse, however. Just the way people are ...not much different than monkeys in a cage. Shake the cage, and tribal rituals rule their behavior. Sad as it is, centuries have shown it a fairly good substitute for coherent thought. Michael

Mike, I'm calling bullshit on this. You're telling me that one man wanted to have sex with this Orca so much that he exerted the man-power of 7 people to get IN there? I have no idea of the logistical support required for conception. I do know what it took to get a urinary catheter in her (this in not an uncommon experience in ER). We might have been able to do it with six people, but it would have been tough. I'm pretty sure there are some people in here with hospital experience that can back me up on this. It's gospel, brother. Adipose Skies, Michael Wendy, lighten up. It's skydivers shooting the shit around the bonfire.

HEY!!

:) :) :) :) :) :) :) Nursing ...just another glamor profession. OTOH, graveyard shift in the ER ...the best show in town! Michael You know you've been an ER nurse too long when you find out the baby you delivered in the parking lot is back ...as a 15 y/o drug overdose.

I've treated several 500+ pounders in the ERand ICU. Putting in a foley (urinary) catheter takes seven people (one with the catheter, two for each leg, one to pull back the abdominal fat and a labia spreader. The 'inserter' needs supplemental oxygen. One of these patients was pregnant (estimated 5' 4" and 700 lbs)and I've always wondered if it took seven people to accomplish the task. :) Michael

I don't think you hypocritical, just way, way, way too intense. Lighten up, dude

Way to go, Bob!!! Congrats, brother. Michael

Hi Jamie, Looking forward to my 'first' (yes, I'll let you buy beer) boogie at Richmond. With Mike Lewis organizing CRW, it's got to be good. I would appreciate information on local motels/hotels. A web search this morning showed several of the chains as booked up. CRW Skies, Michael

Personal insults are big with you, it would seem. You disagree with the accuracy of my statement ...or are you just more of a form over substance kind of guy? I see in your profile, you been skydiving a year with 80 jumps, and recently graduated from wearing pampers (congrats, BTW). If I underestimated your world view, I withdraw my statement and offer my apologies. If not, well, skydiving (and much of life) is all about accurately assesing the reality of situations ...and , no matter how much you may not like it, accept it is, indeed, the true state of affairs. Live and learn, brother. Live and learn. Michael

A hamster on amphetamine?

Nice personal attack there -- it must mean you've run out of relevant arguments. Nope. I reserve good arguments for discussions based on rationality. I'm well versed in all sorts of medications and would not hesitate to recommend them if I see a need. How bout if I said, "Dude, lighten up" ...would that have fit better into your more limited perspective? Michael

That's funny... I could have sworn that you just wrote that the liberal left is unpatriotic. Quite a generalization. Guage one's degree of patriotism on whether or not they are republican, democratic, right, or left. I wonder which course in college taught you that? I studied at Rutgers and got my degree in mathematics there. But some of us have enough common sense that we don't need to use our college education to realize that if one group gets offended by flag wavers and fights with all their might for the rights of flag burners, that this group is not full of patriots. As far back as FDR, there have been Soviet spies in the state department and they got into through the Democrats. McCarthy pulled the plug on them on many of them before they launched an all out assault on his name. So its not a recent thing that the traitors are coming out of the Democrat party. I don't think one needs a college degree to know that a traitor is not a patriot. Dude! You must start taking some medication.

Get your hearing checked. I started wearing a hearing aid a few months ago ...makes a world of difference. Michael

When you say, on your "medical record", what do you mean by that? Michael

The Constitution don't mean much these days, bubba. Michael

I wasn't talking about physical impaiment. I was talking about mental state. I've had a couple of concussions but never fractured a bone in my life. My guess is it takes a pretty traumatic blow to break one. If you get hit in the head hard enough for that, it's pretty reasonable that you're out of it for a couple minutes. Has anyone here questioning that ever been knocked unconscious or received a concussion? I have, and I remember vividly the couple of minutes after as feeling like an acid trip in terms of confusion and disassociation from your surroundings. It is completely reasonable and expected to think that someone who was just beaten in the head might not make the best decisions due to NO FAULT OF HER OWN. Someone on here said that deciding if your life were threatened is much easier than logic puzzles. Maybe when deciding for someone else, after the fact, sitting safe at home, it's an easy decision. Try it in their shoes, though. Let me know how easy it is to decide if you are in such a threatened state that it justifies taking another human life. No philosophising over the internet. No links to proof and opinions and speculation. No time to ask other people how they feel about it. CHOOSE NOW OR DIE!!! Granted, she may not have had the best judgment, she may have made a wrong choice. But that was the question she was FORCED to answer by her attacker. His death lies 100% on his own hands. There's no reason to do any more to this woman who is probably putting herself through her own personal hell right now. Wow! And you deduced all that from a newspaper article. I'm thinking my reading comprehension skills need work. I've seen dozens of people with "skull fractures". They come in to get sewn up or are just freaked out by the profuse bleeding characteristic of scalp/facial wounds. The fractures were just additional findings found on routine x-rays. I even remember one open skull fracture who drove himself to the ER and walked up to the desk, looked at me and said, "Dude, I think that asshol crushed my skull" (he was correct) Awake, Alert and Oriented x4 with no loss of consciousness. Majorly pissed! What I'm saying is, don't go getting all emotional and hanging your argument on the words "skull fracture" Personally, I think she needs either Anger Managment classes or a a thorough briefing on how to write up a report. Like I said earlier, I'd have shot him when I saw his shoulder dip and I feared he was reaching for another weapon. YMMV, Michael
