Sorry bout that...though I did say in the post that it was naughty.

Finally a pic that meets the naughty criteria. And yes...I was given permission so long as I don't say who it is. Edited to add (Per Mr. Brant ) NSFW

I agree completely....I think many women in the world would agree with that statement. And men wonder why we have such poor body images. It's because many hold us to such high standards.

Ditto.

Who doesn't after seeing that pic?

I SO WANT ONE OF THOSE!!!!!!!!!!

I say if they're willing to send them out onto cell phones then they should have no problem with them being posted online.

That sounds like a great game. I wanna play.

Well they've got proof of some of us in other threads yet they're still asking.

You're not alone on that one.

Post your penis size!!! (It's only fair since we've been asked to post out bra size.)

Thank you everyone for your kind words. It really helps to know that I'm not the only one out there who feels this way sometimes. I did resist going for the beer last night when I got home. I also made a point of continuing with my plans such as going to the laundromat last night and baking cookies this morning. I think that really helped...not letting myself dwell on it too long. Thanks again everyone.

I do know that the failure rate is very high. And like I said we were pretty sure the guy was dead once we walked in the door. He had a history of cardiac problems, and this was reassured when we saw the pacemaker/defibrilator in his chest. I guess I just wish I would have seen some sort of result from my effort. And yes the adrenaline is great. My one friend said it must of been something since I willingly jump from airplanes and this got my adrenaline going.

I think that's the part I'm having the biggest problem with. I was laughing and making jokes (not about the patient) within 5 minutes of this all happening. I'm just worried this makes me a bad person. Laughter and cracking jokes has always been my coping mechanism. And I know alot of people in this line of work do the same thing. I guess when I got to thinking about it I realized afterwards that was a real person I was working on...shouldn't I be more saddened by his death? But at the same time I don't want to let it get to me too much cause then I won't be able to do my job. I dunno...there's just so many thoughts and feelings going through my head I don't even know how to express them all right now.

So I'm not quite an EMT yet. I'm a little more then half way through my class. It's to the point where we are CPR certified and allowed to start doing ride alongs. I'm fortunate in that I already work for the ambulance service as a dispatcher and wheel chair van driver. Well, today as I was getting off work we got a call that was pretty sure going to be a full arrest by time we got there. I hopped on the truck to go with and learn. Well, I ended up doing CPR on the guy the entire way to the hospital. This happened a few hours ago and my adrenaline is still going from it. The guy ended up not making it but as soon as we walked in the door we figured he didn't have a chance cause he was already purple from the chest up. But we still did everything in out power. I guess what I'm trying to say is I'm not sure how to feel about the whole situation. I'm excited cause it was my first cardiac arrest call and my first time ever doing CPR on an actual patient but at the same time I feel bad cause he didn't make it despite us doing everything we could. Does this feeling ever go away? How do you cope with this kind of thing? It deffinately hasn't turned me off from becoming an EMT...I'm just not sure how I should feel about it.

Much better thanks you. And yes...that was deffinately written by a man.

The print is too tiny...I can't read it.

The outlet mall here is opening at midnight tonight. I know people who have sat in traffic for 8 hours and never made it to the mall...oh yeah...those people were comming from a whole 15 miles away.

That's just sick and wrong on so many levels. It would be bad enough if it was fellow students doing it but for the parents to be involved is just unbelievable. There are some incredibly sick minded people in this world.

Deer spotting is when you drive around the backroads at night with a floodlight scanning the fields and looking for deer. And when you get one in the light you've spotted one.

It's a Pennsylvania thing as well. That and deer spotting. And there's nothing that says you can't do either in Texas.

I can't believe noone mentioned going cow tipping. You have to go cow tipping. It's great.

There is a hanging harness at my dz that all the students use. Also, on safety day they require that EVERYONE (even the people with several thousand jumps) gets in it and goes through their EP's. They teach the two hands on one handle technique. However, I have a rather large chest (see posts in the bonfire ) and I can't reach with both hands so I use the one hand technique.

That's just wrong on so many levels. I don't even know what to say.
