:-P I know! I lived in Reedley for about a month before I got so homesick I had to come home. The day I moved into the dorms at Reedley JC, it was "only" 101°!!!

First off, I want to apologize if I came across as seeking medical advice. Not my intention. :oops: I'm fairly certain I was laid out for a length of time. My accident occured at about 3:55pm and I didn't get to the hospital (less than 10 minute drive w/o LS) till almost 4:30 pm. Also, I...

A few years back, in Aug of 2009, I was involved in an MVA, motorcycle vs. car. PD happened to be re-fueling at a gas station nearby and was first on-scene, followed shortly by FD & EMS. Because I was going in excess of 40mph before coming to a very swift and sudden stop :blink: :blink: EMS...

Any ideas of exercise I can do when the weather is 90° plus? My area's been hit with a sudden heat wave and the thought of riding my bicycle in any temps above 75° makes me want to pass out from imaginary heat exhaustion! :blink: Oye! I have my VHS's but no curtains/blinds on my windows, and...

LMAO ... Will remember that.

Hey 'Bull'~ Thanks! I didn't know that forum existed! :) Ok, so I 'knew' something like that had to exist somewhere, but not exactly where I could find it. :P Thanks again! :) Anjel~ I find colored pencils a tad easier to use in the teensy-weensy spaces that are in my book. But for my...

Hey Artistic folks!! I got a good quality anatomy coloring book off freecycle and I want to start coloring in it so's I can learn stuff. I have some el-cheapo colored pens/pencils, but I'm thinking of investing in some higher-quality ones specifically for use in my new book. Does anyone have a...

IAems~ I have a tendency to quickly get "bored" with one type of exercise, so I figured a couple of workout/yoga tapes at a quarter apiece would be a fairly decent investment. If I end up not liking/not doing them, I'm only out a dollar, as opposed to a few hundred dollars for a gym...

:blush: Forgive me, I forgot to mention I *have* seen my doctor. :blush: I was given Rx's for Singulair, Nasonex, Qvar (an inhaler), and Albuterol. I take the Singulair HS, the Qvar and the Nasonex BID, and have the Albuterol on me for PRN use. My doc said thats its all right for me to begin a...

So, I went to the local gym today and signed up for my free membership. I got one free meeting with a personal trainer, which will be this Monday at 5pm. I also found some exercise VHS at the second hand shop. I got Tae Bo and Yoga. The last thing I need to find is a jump rope. I printed...

I am looking into getting a couple of sessions with a trainer at the gym. I seem to do better when I have "guidelines" for lack of a better word. I looked up the LAPD link that was suggested, and just need to print it out. I went to a babysitting job interview today, and if I get the job, it...

IAems~ I have small fitness goals. My main one right now is I want to lose 20lbs. I also want to be able to walk from my brother's house uphill to my mum's house without becoming winded and having to sit and rest for 20 minutes just to catch my breath! Thanks! Thats pretty much what I...

Hello All~ I will be taking my first EMT-Basic course starting in August of this year. I am not in the best physical shape, and I want to change that. I have started Nutri-System and have lost close to 20 lbs in the two months I have been on it. I want to get into better shape and start NOW...

Charlie~ Thats my plan, to start getting into better shape NOW as opposed to later. The bigger the jump on the game I can get, the better. :-) I think I've got the "jump right in" part covered. A few months back a woman had a seizure in the middle of Kmart. Before I even had the chance to...

I got 6. :blush: Not bad for a lay person w/o a vehicle of my own!! LoL

Here I come with more questions! LoL As to learning Anatomy and Physiology, any good books you would reccomend for a visual learner? I have heard of, like, coloring books that are for learning things. Any good? Also, I'm rather overweight and out of shape. Any specific...

I was concerned about this too. Especially since I haven't driven any vehicle with any regularity since August 2009 when I was in an accident on my motorscooter. I have rented the occasional car in the mean time for certain things I needed, but they've all been very small (and therefore less...

Hi All~ My Name is R.J. I am female. I am 29. I am looking to enroll in an EMT-B class this fall at my local community college. I live in the San Francisco Bay Area. Uhm... What else to say? I am unmarried with no kids... yet.

Rescue99~ LoL I *just* got the joke! Hehe ... I'm a little slow on the uptake sumtimes. :-P

Thanks you two! Good to hear I don't need to remember the Quadratic Equation! Other questions Will I need to know US to metric equivalents? I seem to remember a nurse friend of mine saying something about "mgs per kg" when it comes to delivering medications. Will we be practising things like...
