The Inverse Proportion Rule of Sledding:

Between the ages of 5 and 10, the sledding hills are mountains, and the pains waiting at the bottom are mere trifles.

At age ten, you slam into the fence, jump up shouting "I'm fine!" then trudge back up to the top, sled in tow. By the time you reach the top, the ache is forgotten and you are ready to challenge the hill once again.

By the age of 20, the mountains shrink, becoming less of a challenge, and the pain from hitting the fence impedes your next trip downhill.

At 30, you slam into the fence, get up slowly saying "That is going to hurt for a month!" and decide to call it a day.

By 40 only a machismo dare will get you onto a sled and you have a bottle of Ibuprofen in the car.

Around 50, all you do is yell at the 5 and 10 year olds, telling them they are going to get hurt doing that.

I've been told it is true. I wouldn't know yet since I am only at step 3. But is has been true so far.

I hate the snow, but love where i live the other 75% of the year. Except for the weeks where we see all four seasons and the awkward fifth season that no one except for those in New England know of.

Snow isnt so bad just wish it didnt have to get so blasted cold in order to get the snow.

Other day we had a fire call. I come out of the building to take a short rest before going back in. I take my gloves off. Ten or fifteen minutes later I go to put them back on: yep, frozen. I had to use the pump operator's gloves when I went back in.

No, snow isn't bad, i love it. Its the cold weather I hate.

Gee, thanks. I was drinking coke when I read this and now know how much carbonation hurts when it comes shooting out your nose.

Now get this: My EMT expires at the end of 2009, as do 20-25% of the certs in the county. In order to recert I have to jump through all the hoops (again and again and again) and submit my mount of paperwork, skills sign off, copies of other certs, and CEs to the County EMS Coordinator, who has been on vacation for 5 weeks! Therefore, the earliest I can submit the paperwork in next Monday; which means that technically, I might not be an EMT for several days to start off the new year... until the new card come in the mail...

Does that mean I get a 5 day ban from EMTLIFE? ^_^
