It went on for 7 years, and it's only been 5 since. It should at least be a one for one deal.
 
This is gonna be long. Have fun.

Finally picked my truck up today. Definitely nice to finally have a ride with a heater with how damn cold it's been lately!

Sled is out of the shop, haven't been able to ride it though :( Contemplated a solo cruise tomorrow to clear my head but I don't think that's the greatest idea with the snow conditions. Not bad for slides but one bad stick and I'm up :censored::censored::censored::censored: creek without a paddle.

Thanks, BBG!

Here's the updates for both that I posted on another board.

First for my husband:

My husband's surgery went well. The surgeon was happy with how the site looked when he got in there, and was able to get it cleaned up some more without any problems. He will most likely get to come home tomorrow, or Wednesday, at the latest.

There is a very, very small possibility the infection affected the graft, and he may have to have a second graft on a small portion of the break, but they don't think that is likely. He will have weekly follow up appointments for the infection and appointments every 4 weeks for the break.

I know it is going to take some time to get this all cleared up, but hopefully it happens as quickly as possible, and without any additional complications.

And then, for the dog:

Well, I feel like a total idiot. Apparently, what was in between my dog's toes was a piece of gum. In my defense, because it had dirt on it, it looked just like the skin on the pads of their feet, and it was so imbedded in the fur, that it was all the way down the fur, right up against the skin. Even the vet wasn't completely sure what it was until she got the clippers out and started shaving her foot.

Her foot is a little bit irritated, from her trying to get the gum out on her own. Other than that, she is completely fine.

You and your family are in my thoughts. I hope for a speedier recovery of your husband, this has been going on for way too long!
 
It's a sad day when you realize your friends will turn on you for having your own opinion of someone...a sad day indeed.

I've got a friend who bought 3 uppers and three lowers about a year ago. He has recently sold all six pieces, each for 3-4 times what he paid. Same guy also bought 500 PMags at ten bucks a piece, like the day after the shooting. He's selling them on Ebay now for 85 bucks each and they are selling like hotcakes.

I wish I was smart like him. I'd be rolling in money now too.

This guy goes to gun shows and just flips stuff all weekend. He will literally make 10 grand in a weekend.

I've been kicking myself for weeks that I passed up deals like that at a local show that weekend. Had I known, I would have bought a whole bunch of stuff.
 
Just spotted my first Elvis impersonator at the hospital. I've been living in Vegas for 5 months now and can't believe that's the first one I have seen.
 
I've spent at least 40% of my Vegas trip waiting on women to either use the restroom or get dressed.
 
Congratulations, you've just given birth to a 5lb ovarian mass.

Oh, wait... pathology just called... it's small cell ovarian cancer. :-(

Icky, icky, icky.

A co-worker's wife died of this a few months ago. Initial tumor went from a softball to a basketball in a week. Mets to the brain etc. Managed to get it into remission for a year, but it came back with a vengeance. :sad:
 
You know, it would be nice if the mods would make a sticky on starting EMT- Basic class. If this was the case, we wouldn't have to give the same answers everytime some new guy comes on the forum. We have a stethoscope thread, it just makes sense to have a sticky like this. If this doesn't seem logical please let me know.

As soon as we see that new members actually use the stickies we currently have, we'll consider it. Till then, we don't see a need to clutter up the top of every forum with stickies and push the active topics further down the page. Not to mention, the more stickies we have, the less effective they are.

Who said anything about cluttering the top of every forum (besides you) I said "make a sticky" (not plural whatsoever) in a sub forum. New members use the Introduction thread, is that good enough for you to prove that new members use the stickies or would you like something more convincing. If so, put a "starting emt basic class" or something like that.

Not trying to be rude, but what you said is not entirely true.

What about a stickie within a stickie? Like inception with a dream inside a dream. Make one stickie at the top that says something like "New? look here first" and then have multiple threads inside that may be useful.

Mind blown :rolleyes:
