Cheese popcorn with double the cheese is too much cheese.

I don’t think anyone has ever said that.

Corey is an originator…there’ll never be another one like him.

















Or at least we can pray that there won’t be one….

I don’t know what you’ve heard, but I don’t need anything like that!

We have a Phillips ARD, no occasion to use it though, thank goodness.

I know an EMT trainer and asked about some training, he says hook it up and follow the directions, it will not shock unless necessary.

it's like a genius

Every other place I worked at had an AED or two mounted on a wall somewhere near an emergency kit like in the lunch room, front desk, some place easily accessible and with signs and stuff... like trying to locate a fire extinguisher. I find it odd that Wally World, at least the store I'm killing time in, has no AED's.

I would think that any business with X number of employees or any grocery store, public building, schools, etc would be required to have one which is periodically checked similar to fire extinguishers other safety checks.

Imma could use more coffee instead of an AED this morning. Out and about for a quick 5. I have no idea what "in the zone" on your fit bit really means. I walk almost as fast as a slow jog but doubt my heart rate gets much above 100 unless I'm climbing a grade.

Prepping a couple of racks of baby backs for later in the day.

Smoke is in my near future.

Yes.

I shocked two people last night. Not with an automated one, a real one. But I've used an aed twice in public.

Dudes..

So, do you have to expose the boobs to use the AED..??

I've been tazered, does that count?

Me, too... and no, it doesn't count. But I would prefer the tazer to the pepper spray. Pain is gone in 5-8 seconds. Pepper spray sticks around for hours.

I had to do the pepper spray BS in the Navy... then again with the Sheriff's dept. Me saying I had already been through it wasn't enough.

And yeah... that second activation is a mofo.

Was watching videos of the three step version. Must be the automated one.

What weirds me out was the instruction of “remove clothing from areas where the sticky patches are to be placed”.
Does something bad happen if the zap button is pressed and a patch is touching clothing?

I’m all for helping some in that situation, but my brain went right to significant downsides. And as I’ve learned from Frank, a deal is only as good as the downside. To start, the patient is female.

Lifting up a woman’s shirt is a 98.2% non starter. As a straight white guy, I can feel the lawsuit happening.

If courageous enough to lift the shirt, there is often a bra next.
- Don’t remove the bra: If the sticky patch from the AED touches the fabric, she goes up in smoke.
- Remove the bra: Now you look like half a rapist with possible charges pending while trying to do the right thing.

How whacked is my thought process?

At the moment, I’d follow exactly what the instructions suggest if the patient is male.
If female, it is safer to simply get out of dodge.

I’m with ya. If it’s a female just tell her “Cross over. All are welcome. Go into the light.”

8. You're overthinking it. If they need an aed they're essentially dead. Youre not using it unless cpr is already started. Theres a slim chance you might be able to get em back with early defibrillation. Clothing goes away because pads need to be on skin. Lateral or posterior pad needs to go where the bras circumferential strap resides. Knife out cut it off.

Men are actually a little more difficult if they're hairy. Gotta open 2 sets of pads, use the first one for a quick waxing job, then apply the new ones. Machine can't analyze rhythm effectively with hair in the way. Also if you need to shock em, can cause burns and won't discharge as much energy through the chest.

^ 5:40am and my day has already peaked

Morning, peoples

Screw the scurvys...

Morning gents. Looking forward to today. My oldest grandson has challenged me to a golf match so we tee it up at 9:30. I'm not sure he has played much golf but neither have I recently. Pretty sure this is going to be just a "grip it and rip it" kinda round for us both but great bonding time since he has lived in the Seattle area most of his life and we have not gotten to know each other much.

He doesn't smoke but I'm taking a few along in case he wants to join the old man.

Morning Ram and gang

Good Tuesday Morning! It's a foggy 31° on the way to 58° today. Headed to the range today, getting ready for a match Saturday.

I could sure use some bacon, ham and sausage about now....

You and me both.

NINE! NINE!
