If someone is coming at you with an axe, car, semi, herd of feral pigs, etc.

FTR: Some correct points. Are you trying to scare me? While living out of a car for a while, going to college fulltime, working a FT job, in Montana, in the winter, might seem like roses to you, I can assure you it is a little bit annoying. :P Until the best deal is just one of many that...

I would not wish to work with someone to which I was very sexually attracted, but that is just me. I suppose that, if I had to pick a famous, pretty female, it would be Piper Perabo or Eva Green. Realistically, I would enjoy working with: -Burt Rutan -William F. Buckley, Jr. -Ayn Rand...

As one of my favorite men once said, “Idealism is fine, but as it approaches reality, the costs become prohibitive.” Unions encourage sloth. Inherently business attempts to grow and succeed, and value is assigned to certain roles more than others. Being a firefighter or paramedic is...

She has odd-looking thumbs. :unsure:

Yes, I daresay that your support of unions is most well known. I have a relative who has a job where he is required to be union, and the union comes through for him, too. He makes far more money with the union than he otherwise would, and the union rabidly supports him and his brothers. He...

All in individual pseudo-paragraphs! SSM sucks. Unions are generally awful. Many systems are little better than a sock full of anthrax. The notion of a LEO being a FF is a poor one, but an EMT/P being a FF is not? Systems can always be improved. Presenting one biased...

I thought I was of thin skin. But apparently I am not. The posters being spoken of never seemed to troll the site, although their mannerisms could be abrasive. I was never offended by them, nor did I become "nauseated" by their posts. Most had lots of truth. Of course, some are more...

Saved me a lot of words. Too many people get their feelers bent online, which is rather stupid given that it is known to be a rather insensitive medium.

To be blunt, is the Combi Carrier II crap, or is it worth the purchase? Budgeting and purchases are coming up, and this is an item I need to review. It received an IDEA/Businessweek design award, but I was told by a person that was told by another person that it doesn't hold even 250lbs...

Very true. I also miss his input, and I don't visit nearly as much now that he and some others aren't posting.

:P There are enough people in this world to freak me out. I don't need to be another one of them.

They faked sheets and harnesses. :P

I don't recall covering pain response in the eye in college, which is odd now that I think about it. I know that corneal abrasions can cause a lot of pain, but I don't remember any from this episode. A piece of plastic popped off and hit me from a new item I had purchased, and if landed almost...

I once cut my eye open, and it started "leaking out" for lack of a better phrase. This process quickly caused it to become shaped like a domestic cat's pupil. Thankfully, some quick emergency work and a month of recovery fixed everything, and I still have 20/20. Kinda freaky, but it didn't...

Hmm...good point. If they're buying me McDonald's every day, I really wouldn't come out ahead...
