Just returned from a call, I don’t thing they teach defensive driving any more. But the offensive driving course seems to be going strong. Yeah the big red truck with flashing lights and siren means pull right. Not pull left and slam on the breaks. #EMSlife

Rural EMS vs Suburban EMS Rural, farmer gets run over by tractor, fractured femur, finished chores, can’t work the clutch, apologizes for calling SU, adult drops object on foot. It hurts with no visual injury can hold weight, insists we carry down stairs and pack a bag for them. #EMSlife

I love #EMSlife You never can predict what you get. A naked lady, attacking a parked car with a watermelon. Overdose victim found in a cemetery. A cat scratch that did not draw blood. Kid having problems breathing. Adult with leg cramps. All in the first 8 hours. 8 more to go.

Tonight’s #EMSLife WTF call: middle age person calling at 9pm (2100) to have their urinary catheter changed Had skipped their doc appointment today Got mad we would not do it, that we only go to the Emergency Department (and don’t bring them back home) Left them cussing out us and the Triage nurse in the ED crowded waiting area.

Have a friend who works for metro Gov. She is looking forward to the overtime tax exemption. Since what low level employees are paid is public information here is how the new exemption helps her. Last year she was paying $10,100. Under the new plan, just $6,200. That’s a $4k pay hike #BBB image

#EMSLife Call the Ambulance because who else is going to come to a public restroom in a park because you pooped your pants Then get mad because the ambulance does not have spare cloths, and threaten the crew for not stopping at your home on the way to the hospital

Am sad to hear the Jim Shooter has passed. I had the privilege of being a runner for him at several appearances in Ithaca NY in the 80’s and 90’s. Always enjoyed it. He was a funny, happy guest. Loved his work and had great talks with him. He always remembered me when I would see him at shows.

#finance people will tell you all sort of “tips” on money and investing
I was given one tip a long time ago: own what you use or work for
So over the last 38 years it mostly worked for me (Even k-mart)
When I got out of the army and settled I started buying my utilities stock. I use it after all
last week they paid the semi annual dividend and it was more than that months bill
Every month my investment money ($55 a paycheck) gets divided among stocks
I’m resisting focusing on just it to x12 it

You were promised the Big Beautiful Bill would do these things but it does NOT: ❌ Prohibit welfare for illegal aliens ❌ Stop funding sex changes for kids ❌ End registration of suppressors ❌ Defund planned parenthood 10 yrs ❌ Implement REINS Act ❌ Reduce the deficit Thomas Massie

Happy day. I bought stock in the utility company that I use. This week they announced their dividend payment. I’m getting one months of electric cost in dividend payment. Guess I need to 12x my holdings. #Money #Dividens

Well I’m happy! Just paid off a monthly bill of $90. This will be $60 directed at the next debt, and $30 to my daily sat buy. As @Jack Spirko says DCA is the way #dca365
