Supper Oh yea, got some watermelon for desert. Guess I'll have to hose the kids down!

Supper We eat dinner at suppertime, go figure! Tonight it's rice & beans with corn and salsa mixed with some ground beef from the neighbors Steer. Great with chips or on a wrap. Makes 2 dinners (+leftovers for me to take to work) for my family of 5 for under 8 bucks.

Great archery movie!! My oldest (5 y/o girl) is dying to see it, planning taking her for her birthday.

Unfortunate News Terribly sorry to read this, best wishes to you & your family for a positive outcome.

I agree, I've worked in several different ER's over the past few years and a conservative estimate would be that 50% of the patients have no business in an Emergency Department. Glad to hear it worked out for OP

Interview finally! What a coincedence! I just got out of an interview at the place I wanted to get into. It went very well I feel, the Director said to get my State license ASAP. How'd yours go?

Interview finally! Good Luck!

"No Brainer".... Steve raises an excellent point, I was wondering how much of this pipeline is in place. The thing that grates on me is these hybrids with a measly 50mpg rating. I owned a 1993 Saturn (American made mind you) that easily got 40+ mpg. This was all internal combustion. The real kicker is that company is now out business. I totally agree the oil lobbyists have WAY to much influence on Congress. By all accounts domestic production is up, and our importation is down, why the pain at the pump?

Cool! Thanks! I couldn't quite hold still enough, but I may have made out the moons. I'm going to set them on my tripod tomorrow, overcast tonight.

Life is short You're kicking' at an open door over here friend. Watched helplessly as my wife was ejected through the closed passenger side window as we were T-boned by a careless speeding soccer mom. She flew about 40 feet and landed head first into the pavement. Life is as fragile as it is precious.

I gotcha, I just thought it was cool that right on the front page of CNN was this video!

Awesome site! A great skill to have, we should have a class back at the FD...its been a while.

Just beatuiful last night and this morning, could see both planets in frame with my 10X50 Bino's. Jupiter (I think) appeared as a bright green crescent.

Current hot topic in sports medicine. lots of research being done. Evidence suggests they are accumulative. Just ask Sidney Crosby, or better yet LaFontaine or Brett Lindros. A concussion is considered a "mild form of Traumatic Brain Injury". Hope you feel better. Post-concussion syndrome - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Senate rejects GOP measure to build oil pipeline - CNN.com "Opponents say the pipeline may leak, and that it will lock the United States into a particularly dirty form of crude that might ultimately end up being exported anyway." 2 things: Why can't the bill determine that the oil (or portion of it) be for domestic use? I'd like to get The_Kat's input on this, I'm, sure he'd have some insight as to the quality assurance aspect. Are pipelines like this a large source of oil leakage?

I heard on the radio this morning on the way to work this morning that the Obama admin. wants Isreal to wait until after the election.

Not sure where you're getting all that from, I found this on a "mainstream media" site today: Video - Breaking News Videos from CNN.com "Sanctions not affecting Iran" 3:19 into the video = "we are producing all components"

A world - renowned Psychiatric team could spend years studying me, and at best, would come up with "inconclusive". However, after viewing that Belly Button Turd, I without a doubt fall into the "not right" category. Holy Hannah, I'm going to have to call in sick tomorrow. LOL! ETA: After further review, that thing may very well be considered a "trophy".

Did you apply online? I know that HR is not as invested in filling a position as department personnel are. I always make a point to fill out an on-line app, then send a hard copy of my cover letter, resume, and a character reference letter to the Department Manager and to HR as well. As a manager myself, I always appreciated when an applicant took it upon themselves to contact me directly. I'm sure you'll hear soon...good luck.

Moving on.... Hear anything yet TG? I applied to Dartmouth-Hitchcock and am eagerly waiting! It's a huge place, the largest tertiary care center in Northern New England. They also have a surface & air transport team, but I applied for the NICU. I'm 6'1" 225lbs, the thought of cramming into a chopper with 2 other people and a Pt, does not excite me!

All You New Users!!!!! I'm suddenly feeling a bit nauseated. :/

It is going to get bad. Great........... Now Slurpee futures are gonna go through the roof!

I went to check them out last night... really bright! It was to cold to stand still for to long though. Pretty cloudy tonight unfortunately.

I can't believe no one else asked this; Why was that your nickname!?
