  1. Rookie120 You say that with broken tools you would climb out to fix an aircraft, come on man.. be serious I am not a AP and know that you are not going to make that happen by climbing out... I think you missed the metaphor of that the DR may have knowledge just as you have knowledge in aircraft maintence, but without the tools to complete the job then your knowledge is just wasted as was the Docs in this case. the report was that there where O2 tanks on board, the pax was denied twice when asking for them but then it is REPORTED that two tanks where empty, by who this was reported I don't know, but having someone trained int eh use of 02 (Dr/fa) I would asume that because they had to get a second that the first one was used up or empty and a second tank was called for.. either the pt died while trying to use the 2nd tank or it was also empty and of no use due to her passing.. something was diffrent or had changed. The AED presents to be an oddity, did she have a shockable rythym? hard to tell because the thing did not work or was sensing artifact from vibration of the aircraft and would not sense her true rythm, so that makes it she had a NOn shockable rythm or it was shockable and the machine did not work and that may have been due to the broken machine or artifact, we won't know unless the autopsy reveals this. You have taken great offense when someone offers an opinion or thought outside of one of your own, you have taken advice of medical professionals and pretty much told them they don't know what they are talking about because they where not there and nor where you, yet you take the side of your airline because they have checks and balances to make sure that all equipment works all the time and if that where the case then why do they hire anyone to fix anything.. I mean tanks are never empty and AEDs always work in your airline right? Well I am not an ambulance chasing lawyer, I actually work in an ambulance and see cardiac death all the time, without cardiac probelms I would not have much of a job really and unlike in your aircraft world sometimes we get o2 tanks that are empty and that really sucks, lucky for us we carry 5 tanks on board and AEDs do fail in our field on occassion as well. has the media made this sensational, yes maybe.. but some of the facts are that this passenger is dead, she was DENIED 02 per her request and that alone is non excusable.. why carry o2 on board if it's not for use? having a duty to act as the FA has and not actiing upon it is breach of duty.. if I with held o2 to a pt then I would be in serious trouble.. I like kbord am out of this one, she nor I seem to know nothing about medical conditions and the effects of altitude on the heart and since your airlines tanks and aeds as well as FA's are flawless and perfect then perhaps it was her time to die. www.greenboxphotography.com
  2. I just read she had a doctor on board the aircraft working on her. The way I see it, it was just her time to go. yes there was a Docotr on board and aircraft with no oxygen and a AED that apppears to be broken, so if your logic says that she could have been saved by a man with knowledge on how to fix the problem, just fix it with no tools! What kind of MD was he, podiatrist? cardiovascular? even that has some bearing on the outcome! Your logic of a Doctor on board and she still died is not proof it was her time to go. If you fix planes and and something fails inflight and you have a box of broken tools, could you save the plane? Your statements look like desperation to defend and airline and not that of concern of human life and your rebuttles to Kbord are not helping your case. www.greenboxphotography.com
  3. My sister was out catching lightning bugs one night, she had a whole jar full of them and one in her ear.. she complained of an ear ache the next morning and when Mom took a look she saw the reason why. My sister freaked out just a bit when mom told her but was relieved when she pulled it out! www.greenboxphotography.com
  4. I once woke up under my truck, I had been to a bon fire party the night before and I guess I decided that sleeping under my truck seemed like a better idea then in the cab.. manI was eatne up bug the bugs! www.greenboxphotography.com
  5. I had a closet cleaning event some time back and got ride off all that type of stuff. I only have a bucket of fabric left I think, Won't get rid of that just incase a repair comes along.. or so thats what I keep telling myself, oh almost forgot. Two pilot chutes, one rsl and an old main D bag.. maybe i will mail it to you so your clsoet can keep it! www.greenboxphotography.com
  6. How come there is no big womfish mural in your shower? www.greenboxphotography.com
  7. the leash is a great idea and it also helps you establish dominace over the dog.. do NOT allow the dog to enter the home before you.. you go in and then allow the dog to come in. You have to establish the home as yours and not his to pee upon. www.greenboxphotography.com
  8. many of the citys you listed are major citys, why not some smaller towns along the way where history can be just as rich, easier to get to and sometimes better for the sole. having only lived in KC for the last 3 years I have seen alot that it has to offer and you can find a rich history to take in as well. The liberty memorial, steamboat arabia, great BBQ if you are a nascar fan we have the new raceway and will have a tunnel within 2 years at the shliterbahn water park. But I go back to why does it have to be KC, why not lawrence, Atchison, dodge city.. the list goes on. www.greenboxphotography.com
  9. Another reason to get rid of the good ol boy systems and go by popular votes.. let the real people decide and not some "super friends" in thier own imaginary justic leage. www.greenboxphotography.com
  10. a kid who lived down the street from me got busted for stealing money from the mail he was supposed to deliver. he, his brother and father all worked for the post office. he and his brother got tired of delivering the circulars on Wed's and started stashing the things in thier fathers garage attic since all three of them lived within a block of the father it was easy to do this.. then they progressed into stealing money and stuff from mail. These guys never once trashed the evidence but stored it all in the dads garage attic.. well walmart employees where wondering why the circulars where not getting out to thier houses and said something to the management of walmart and then that made the postoffice inspectors desk and then the investigation got these guys. They went to jail, dad although did not steal anything was fired and lost his retirement because his property was used in the crime and they found that he could have known what was going on and did not want to report his sons. www.greenboxphotography.com
  11. Wow! Billvon come on, you really think that all gun nuts are like that? I own alot of firearms (guns) as I am a hunter and while carrying a firearm I have no feelings or Aura of protection or want or have a desire to be dirty harry. I actually have in my mind proper firearm management and take great pride in the fact that I am a responsible gun owner, maybe it's just that I have respect for others taught to me by my parents and the hunters safety course people. I would guess that many of your criminal types that use guns did not learn much about respect or have respect for others and where never really taught anything about gun safety.. but thats just my assumption on tha matter. www.greenboxphotography.com
  12. I had tried Sally's in the past and they proved to be just as much of a pain as my last attempts with these last people. I also tried to donate to a place called The Beacon, they are a non for profit church group that has a thrift store.. My house burned years ago and the beacon came to me and gave me household items for my new home. these things where used pots and pans, some curtians and other such items. Well after I got back up on my feet I decided to give back to the beacon since they had been so kind to me and when I tried to redonate items given to me plus a few extra new items they only wanted the new items and not the ones that they had given to me even though I no longer needed them. In thier words those items where already used too much and where no longer good.. arrgghhhh! I guess I should just sell everything from now on! www.greenboxphotography.com
  13. So we got a new kitchen table and chairs, what to do with the old set? To be good people we decide to give it to charity, so today on my only free day wich is not at all free on time now I decide to make a donation. First stop is the thrift store that all profits go to no kill animal shelters since we support the shelter alot. They did not have room and would not take it! off to stop #2 a church thrift store.. almost same story except they only take donations on Fridays when I am in school all day. #3rd stop and running out of time and energy on this project and the battered women thrift store was gald to accept the set up. Now I don't know alot about business, but if I am making all my money thru donation and someone wanted to give me a nice table and chair set up that would inturn support thier effort i would make room for the items somewhere.. but hey thats just my logical thought process.. Anyone else tried to donate and get turned away at the door? Seems all places just want your cash any more.. Joe www.greenboxphotography.com
  14. That dude is an ass and skaters from near and far should write to him, flood him with fan mail and all say get a grip DUDE you just busted a 14 year old, you are one bad ass Dude for that! www.greenboxphotography.com
  15. when my wife and I build our home i want to put in a urinal in my bathroom, she say's NO because they smell. I told her it's the pee that smells and not the device that collects it and they only smell if they are not kept clean. urinals are so practical i don't see what the fuss is. www.greenboxphotography.com
  16. Hey Steve. Some people do take Astrology seriously, My good friends X whole heartedly believed in that crap and man was she a freak of the week. She would come up with oh this planet is in my way and i am going to have a bad day because of it, and because she set it in her mind I think she made her day bad and the those around us annoyed! Sad enough, but people do believe in foolish things, but thats okay I guess.. because we all have diffrent beliefs and it's super cool that we can have that freedom. www.greenboxphotography.com
  17. Can we also add a thank you section to this thread? I want to extend a thanks to our resident Doc who recently helped me with some acid base balance questions. I got all the acid base questions correct on my test! My wife also thanks her as I stopped asking my wife about acid base even though she has a degree in biology, she said her focus was plat form and not human form and I need to talk with somone else. Dr. K Bord was there to point me along in the right direction. cool stuff! Joe www.greenboxphotography.com
  18. Once more mark Hamm your talent is never ending and your work is always awesome, and it does not hurt to have some great canidates to help make the art with, those girls where the all to kind to share so we all can enjoy the beauty. www.greenboxphotography.com
  19. ask about TPO surgery, they split the hip into three places and add plates to get things straight. may not work for your case and then again it may. One of our dogs started out as a pound rescue and cost 15$ she now just a little over 10k in vet bills and 3 years old. She had the TPO surgery and she does not miss a step now. www.greenboxphotography.com
  20. "We consider the Taser as being at the same level of force as other weapons, including pepper spray and batons," James said. This quote from the police officer is a bit concerning, is he considering all of his tools equal or on the same level. I am reading it as so per his remarks.. same force as other weapons the force uses, he does not include firearms but he does not exclude them either. I am all for alot of tools and less leathal is great and I firmly believe that some people are true threats to life and can understand and advocate the actually shooting of a true threat with a firearm. However we we lump these tools as equal then we get numbed to the power and may use lack of clear judgement and misuse will arise as it all ready has seem to have been doing across the country. With the onset of this offers mental thoughts on all is the same it won't be long before he shoots someone and justifys it because in his own mind for some minor reason.. oh there was a school bus two blocks down the road and the guy took off running, I feard for the children that where possibly in the bus so I shot this person. I hope that we are not all numbing ourselves to the next level of accpetance. Question authority is not just a rebel statement, it's a checks and balance system for the good of us all. www.greenboxphotography.com
  21. I am now so very sad, I love my dogs so much and now I need to go spend some time with them and not on here. I am so sorry for your loss. Joe www.greenboxphotography.com
  22. both have negative effects for your health and both smell really bad and each cost you alot of money that you really just burn.. nothing positive to either in my opinion. www.greenboxphotography.com
  23. I work in EMS wich is pretty low pay, but right now I am a full time student with NO pay really to speak of. I also do some rigging on occasion but I give all the money I make off that to animal shelters, so I guess thats pretty much why I am broke right now. But the way I see it is that dogs can't work and they need food and if I can only help a few that are at shelters then the I am good with skipping a meal here and there. www.greenboxphotography.com
  24. http://shop.flyingloomembroidery.com/main.sc Wow, Mark has some talent and when you add great boob's to his work it can only get better. mark has done some work for me in the past and he makes some really kick ass custom stuff. We had him make patches of our dog's and horses, they are amazing like the boobies in this thread. www.greenboxphotography.com
  25. ahh but wait until you have crazy dreams and you talk with those dreams and then think about what it will be like if you are at work and asleep having crazy dreams and talking! One of my coworkers talks in his sleep and has crazy dreams all the time. since we share a bunk room it is funny and the next day/week we all get a good laugh at his expense! The only phones involved in our case is the other coworkers and I trying to caputer video of the event to show the coworker the next day. www.greenboxphotography.com
