I read somewhere that she had a bad childhood and her mother died when she was younger, maybe she didn't have any family around to miss her. What I would like to know is how the boyfriend went 2 years without sex. What kind of man would tolerate that? Wait...maybe he didn't go without....

updated 1 hour, 58 minutes ago NESS CITY, Kan. - Deputies said a woman in western Kansas sat on her boyfriend's toilet for two years, and they're investigating whether she was mistreated. Ness County Sheriff Bryan Whipple said a man called his office last month to report that something was wrong with his girlfriend. Whipple said it appeared the 35-year-old Ness City woman’s skin had grown around the seat. She initially refused emergency medical services but was finally convinced by responders and her boyfriend that she needed to be checked out at a hospital. “We pried the toilet seat off with a pry bar and the seat went with her to the hospital,” Whipple said. “The hospital removed it.” Whipple said investigators planned to present their report Wednesday to the county attorney, who will determine whether any charges should be filed against the woman's 36-year-old boyfriend. “She was not glued. She was not tied. She was just physically stuck by her body,” Whipple said. “It is hard to imagine. ... I still have a hard time imagining it myself.” He told investigators he brought his girlfriend food and water, and asked her every day to come out of the bathroom. “And her reply would be, ‘Maybe tomorrow,”’ Whipple said. “According to him, she did not want to leave the bathroom.” The boyfriend called police on Feb. 27 to report that “there was something wrong with his girlfriend,” Whipple said, adding that he never explained why it took him two years to call. Police found the clothed woman sitting on the toilet, her sweat pants down to her mid-thigh. She was “somewhat disoriented,” and her legs looked like they had atrophied, Whipple said. “She said that she didn’t need any help, that she was OK and did not want to leave,” he said. She was taken to a hospital in Wichita, about 150 miles southeast of Ness City. Whipple said she has refused to cooperate with medical providers or law enforcement investigators. Authorities said they did not know if she was mentally or physically disabled. Police have declined to release the couple’s names, but the house where authorities say the incident happened is listed in public records as the residence of Kory McFarren. No one answered his home phone number. The case has been the buzz in Ness City, said James Ellis, a neighbor. I didn't know exactly where to post this - Funny Stuff? No, maybe not. News? Well maybe. EMS Discussion? I don't know. Anyways, this town isn't too far from where I live. It is quite the news around here already.

:roll: I can't believe this guy is actually suing now. If you can't perform the tasks required at any job, you go down the road. I wonder why he feels entitled to have the job if he can't perform it?

I would refuse and instead suggest that they make a donation to something in the community, Red Cross, St. Jude's, whatever.....

If you are not looking to move on the coast, you can look at Grand Junction, CO. The winters are very mild there, very sunny and summers are not too hot. Many places are nice in the winter maybe, but hotter than heck in the summer, Grand Junction is a nice place with a lot to do over there.

I've heard that one before. It's still a fav....

I think it all just depends on where you are. Are you looking to take a class and that is why you are asking? If so, I would ask around and see if people in your local area know anything about your local programs if there are a lot to choose from. You could also just take a look at your own schedule and the schedules offered at each class. Welcome to EMTCity.

Have you checked with Mesa State College, or the 2 hospitals in Grand Junction? I thought Mesa had a P program, so they might have a refresher or know where to find one. The hospitals I think both have some classes there. I think there is also one on the eastern slope through Memorial Hospital in Colorado Springs.

So let me get this straight. Over 4,000 people who ingested either "pesticides" or seeds were studied. There are many different kinds of pesticides. Add that with the "seeds" that could have been ingested and there are a whole lot of variables for one research study. I know there is a wide variation in variables in real life, but come on. Now that I am thinking about it, over 1500 people were withheld charcoal and later died...I call BS on this study.

No I don't think you are too old if this is really what you want to do. I doubt you will die anywhere close to being financially set though, but that isn't as important to some people as it is others. Do you have a wife/family? If so, I think you should consider talking to them and make sure they are on board with you. I know several people who didn't start vet school until they were 35+ and got out with over $100,000 in debt, making only $30-40K a year and they wouldn't trade what they do for the world.

=D> =D> =D> =D> To what Ridryder said....

I think it's a good idea.........Just one question though.....How do you get paid? Is it the service paying you a higher fee and you taking a cut off the EMT's/Medics hourly wage? .....If so, all I can see is some disgruntled workers *IF* the benefits don't outweigh what they are already offered.
