    "Winning" an argument is way too often considered a worthy end in and of itself, no matter how illusory that "victory" truly is. Wow Tony, that was a beautiful although poignant post. Three quarters of the people I work w/ fit this personality type. That is why Type A's are in my profession...

    Regarding Red Diablo's post. I was talking w/ a friend in his early fourty's who said his Dr. told him he had border line sleep apnea and the problem could be resolved if he lost the extra lbs. he was carrying. If not it would advance as his weight increased and this would require a c-pap unit...

    Agreed. Certainly the same can be said for teachers, law enforcement officers, counselors, EMS providers, etc. Basically anyone who falls into the category of providing a service that centers around helping people. Realistically for most, the tipping point in ones professional life when they...

    If you or a family member or friend require a hospital stay, make sure someone is their w/ them (you) all the time if possible. A workmate said his Dad was in the hospital w/ terminal cancer. While in the room his father went into respiratory arrest and he called the nurse station and received a...

    Much can be said about this subject. It is easy to put the blame on one entity or the other. My one comment is be your own advocate. Health care providers at all levels are human. Some treat the symptoms w/o diagnosing the cause. The Insurance Co.'s employees also make errors regarding...

    Over the years in fire-ems I have delivered my share of patients to all the ER's in my area. Unfortunately, some were only using our service to expedite the process of seeing a doctor w/o waiting in the ER admitting area. No problem for them, those who work paid the bill. Regarding hospital...

    Why older homes are safer from fires

    Really, If your house is up to code, has correctly placed fire alarms, using safe practices in the kitchen and laundry (grease & lint fires), no auxiliary heat or light source, (candles & kerosene) you should never see the FD. Most people who care about their house never have a fire. Rarely...

    Why older homes are safer from fires

    On this day Engine 5 was working a fire in a single room basement as usual it was pitch dark and really hot. Near the seat of the fire, I kept banging my helmet on something as I knocked down flare ups above me w/ the line. After all the smoke cleared, I could see I was standing below a...

    Upon arrival at the scene the first rig will do a size up on the radio. What is the size, occupancy, construction type and the bldg. material of the structure and roof. Following the above N.Y. test scenario's the FF's knew what the room contents were made of and were able to perform their...

    Someone get a decent Jacket to the White House

    IMHO these folks are pulled from here to there and told.... wear this suit or tie. If you wear a A2 this group will identify w/ you. A person will only look as good as the individual buying him clothes. That said the size, fit, and authenticity of A2's are a constant thread here for a reason...

    The movie, "Meet John Doe" 1941 by Frank Capra. Starring Gary Cooper, Barbara Stanwyck, Walter Brennan, and Edward Arnold. Imho, one of the most underrated seasonal/Christmas movie. Their are so many layers to this story. Pressure to succeed, white lies for the better good, conflict of...

    how does this A2 style jacket fit me?

    In all do respect I would say if this was a suit, it is not your size. Too long and too big. Think of a A2 fitting like a suit. That is how it should feel and look.
