  9. Looks like severe burns to me... Marc otherwise known as Mr.Fallinwoman....
  10. ok...but do you know who Uncle Tupelo is? or Wilco? or Jay Farrar? or well...I could go on and on and on. problem with music and me is my iPod only holds 11,000 songs...I have close to 18,000. just not fun. I need to upgrade i guess. Marc otherwise known as Mr.Fallinwoman....
  11. if you didn't call an ambulance for someone who hooked in that would be unethical. I don't see how this is even close to what I was talking about. I never once in my job ask for insurance information from patiens. if some one's kid is unconscious in a yard from drinking too much I will treat them to the best of my ability and will all tools available to me. I don't care about money first...I care about the patient first and always will. Trust me if I wanted money I'd go get a different job. What I do care about is people who don't support there EMS system. Whether that be through paying taxes to a Fire Dept. who has an ambulance...an ambulance district tax....or by paying your bill when it comes. An ambulance is not free. Every year since I started on an ambulance we have better and better equipment...safer ambulances...training for paramedics is almost three times as long now...yet people still assume that there is no cost behind this. wanna know how much your run of the mill ambulance cost's? about 150,000 to start....put a medic and an EMT on there...with training(hopefully)...put equipment on there. a new 12lead monitor can cost upwards of 15,000-20,000. add in all the medications...backboards...Oxygen...etc...etc..etc.. The simple fact is to run an ambulance it cost's money. that money needs to come from somewhere. Anne and I pay one of the highest fire protection taxes in the state of MO, BUT I am guaranteed an ambulance if I need one and it won't cost me a dime because I pay taxes. Chris, when you ask why it cost so much to take care of your kid...this is why. right here. In the US we can't just walk up to a drunk kid and leave em cause he's drunk. it wouldn't be ethical for one. It also is just not what we are about. BUT cause of his poor decisions he has to pay what to me seems above average for an ALS trip. Where I work we chare about 1000bucks plus mileage. But even that changes with the whole healthcare thing. Marc otherwise known as Mr.Fallinwoman....
  12. and there ya go Chris...exactly. I work in a rather..umm..urban environment on the east side of st.louis. we only receive about 2 bucks for every 10 bucks we bill. that is money that is not being put into my pocket as a raise. I am making now what I made close to 10yrs ago. We get no money cause people assume it is paid for by "taxes"...well if ya don't have an ambulance tax and your Fire Dept. doesn't have an ambulance...well then ya don't pay for it. Marc otherwise known as Mr.Fallinwoman....
  13. part of it is better than none of it....I can respect that. but taking an ambulance knowing full well your not going to pay is crap. take the freakin bus...the ambulance is not the "big red taxi service" regardless of the amount of people that use it that way. Marc otherwise known as Mr.Fallinwoman....
  14. absolutely wings is kick ass and then some. I don't see my self buying any other container...not just for the customer service but also cause it is a very sweet container.
  15. I agree with you totaly lindsey!!! funny people can have a rig laying around and all sorts of other skydiving gear but refuse to pay for health care....gotta love it. I understand what it's like to go through serious medical problems with out insurance. but you can bet that I worked my tail off to pay for it. try having non hodgkins lymphoma with no insurance. not fun at all. Marc otherwise known as Mr.Fallinwoman....
  16. Please tell me how you were forced to take an ambulance? No one is ever forced to take an ambulance...especialy one that could take other means of transport... Marc otherwise known as Mr.Fallinwoman....
  17. So your a canadian then huh? why don't ya go back to canada if our health care system is so fucked up?? also just because you pay taxes does not mean you pay for an ambulance with them. I still think you abused the EMS system when someone else might have needed that "free ride" instead of you. if you were so incoherent that you needed an ambulance then I guess at least a thank you to the crew that took care of you would of been nice..but I'm sure you didn't do that either. typical EMS abuser....see it every day. Marc otherwise known as Mr.Fallinwoman....
  18. So should those paramedics/EMT's that work on that ambulance work for free? how do you think we get paid? you use a service you should pay for it or at least attempt to pay some of it. never ceases to amaze me. Another abuser of the EMS system....lovely. In the future take a cab...oh that's right...you'd have to pay for that. Marc otherwise known as Mr.Fallinwoman....
  19. I'm guilty!!! I'm bout to marry that there fallinwoman. She's the bomb diggity!!! 8 and a half days or so to go!!!!! WOOO HOOOO
  20. she jumps out of an airplane...she teaches math...she loves me...and she is going to marry me in about 9 days. what else is there to like???
  21. WOOHOO good for you girl!!! awesome news!!!
  22. when I want to go see the legendary D-1...I just go to the DZ.
  23. I'm a huge fan of the shoot out's....great idea. I think they still need to reduce the size of the goalie pads and move the goal line back about 5feet to open up more offensive opportunities. but I am overall happy with the salary cap. it was needed. hockey was bleeding from over paid players with no revenue to support some of them in smaller markets..errr... make that less supportive markets. Marc otherwise known as Mr.Fallinwoman....
  24. jumpshack can make cheaper handles for other rigs. they made my last reserve handle after my pin got bent by an overacheiving rigger... I think I paid 35 bucks. Marc otherwise known as Mr.Fallinwoman....
  25. The album is awesome...just horrible in person... Marc otherwise known as Mr.Fallinwoman....
