    Part of me loves this.. serves them right.

    The most shocking thing for me about becoming an EMT wasn't the bodies or body fluids.... it's how many people show no consideration to emergency vehicles and responders on the roadways.

    The ambulance has to try and stay level which means we can't always pull very far off the roadway at accident scenes. We often beat the police to the scene so we have no additional traffic control... but even with them there, people still are jerks. We may have to extricate a patient while traffic blows by us at the posted 80 mph, two or three feet away.

    And then there's the transport.. which brings a whole new adventure.

    I realize now that if I die traumatically, it's probably not because I fell off a mountain or got eaten by a bear or lion... more likely it will be because some jerkwad isn't paying attention to the 14,000lb ambulance with all the lights and sirens going. :([​IMG]

    The best 16 stitches and a chipped tooth I ever received.. 1983 was a great year to be 9. My aunt lived not to far away and this place was the highlight of the whole trip out east. Will definitely be going to see the movie.

    Yeah, no thanks... we have a good sized rescue truck but I don't drive it. Yet.

    I hate traffic. That's why I live in a 3 people per square mile county. :D

    I don't think that was charge on Durant, but I don't think charge/block calls should be able to be overturned by a ref unless the play is within the restricted area. And yes that was a stupid play by J.R. Smith. The question nobody is asking is why did Lebron pass the ball with 4 seconds left and the game tied? If the cavs won this game it would of made the series a lot more interesting. Now they will win game 3 at home but I think thats it.

    I believe JR Smith passed with 4 seconds left. I just can't handle the rules/refs in these games. I don't think it was a charge either, but some of the other calls were pretty bad. It seems that the NBA/refs give an edge to the Warriors. I've believed this all season. I may sound crazy but I think they give them an advantage because they want them to win... Golden State has had the best selling jerseys/merchandise simply because of Gen Z fans (every new fan wants to be a Warriors fan). The NBA wants them to win because of those Gen Z fans and their continued financial support this year and moving forward.

    Crazy rant/conspiracy theory over.

    His pass to George Hill was fine, he was either going to be wide open for a layup or fouled like he was.

    But at least the players give a crap. I can't watch the NBA because I've never seen so many people standing around doing nothing and still getting paid… Well except federal employees, but I digress.

    When you pay for something online and are charged a "convenience fee".

    Not sure how them getting my money is a convenience for me.

    I'd have taken a busted pipe over my day, I had to take my husky to the vet this morning and have her put to sleep.
