Let me guess its a township, one where everyone knows everyone, drinking buddies, smoking buddies and they wrote you up. man thats just plain sad

Imaginary Icons And Then Some In today's Daily Express I came across an article about "imaginary icons" as listed out in a book called "The 101 Most Influential People Who Never Lived". Topping the list was the infamous Marlboro Man - that rugged, tough-as-nails cowboy who constantly had a ciggie hanging out of his mouth at every possible occassion. You know, that whole bit about smoking being cool and how every young lad wanted to grow up to be that manly man. This was of course waaaay before Brokeback Mountain came out. But I digress - so yep the Marlboro Man came out (pun unintended) tops on this list which also included Santa Claus, King Arthur, Paul Bunyan and the Loch Ness Monster who is affectionately known as Nessie. Did you guys know that Marlboro was originally marketed as a ladies cigarette? It's true (according to Wikipedia. If you don't believe me read this). Marlboro is a brand of cigarette made by Altria. It is famous for its billboard advertisements and magazine ads of the Marlboro Man. In 2001 it was the most popular cigarette brand in the U.S.[1] It is currently the best selling cigarette brand in the world. Philip Morris, a London-based cigarette manufacturer, created a New York subsidiary in 1902 to sell several of its cigarette brands, including Marlboro. By 1924 they were advertising Marlboro as a woman's cigarette based on the slogan "Mild As May". The brand was sold in this capacity until World War II when the brand faltered and was temporarily removed from the market. At the end of the war, three brands: Camel, Lucky Strike, and Chesterfield surfaced and established a firm hold on the cigarette market. However, the 1950s saw an impressive comeback of Marlboro cigarettes when a new cowboy image was introduced in promotion and the sales skyrocketed by 5000%. During the same era Reader's Digest magazine published a series of articles that linked smoking with lung cancer. Philip Morris, and the other cigarette companies took notice and each began to market filtered cigarettes. The new Marlboro with a filtered tip was launched in 1955. The brand is named after Great Marlborough Street, the location of its original London factory. I'll never look at a pack of Marlboro's in quite the same way again.

Yes AKROEZE, there is something different there, compared to Calgary, the medics babysit their pt's because the ED is so gall darn short of nurses/staff to support this, each Hospital in Calgary is getting a face lift, thats nice but what I want to see is less time in the waiting rooms both for people coming in and in the ED, because the more medics are in the ED doing this, leaves the streets more vunerable to more who wont get the much needed medical, they will have to pull another ambulance out of another district to cover the one already out of service. I think we're in for a CRISIS and its NOT going to get better only WORSE.

Ok, let's say that someone is testing you just incase, because there have been instances where ppl have abused the use of it, so I'm thinking it was placed there as a test to see what it is you'll do about it. my 2 cents worth: :wink:

There was a boss who was told by his boss that he had to get rid of at least one employee. So he narrowed the decision to one of two new employees, Jack or Mary. He then decided to speak to each one privately, and let their reactions help guide his decision. So he called in Jack, explained the situation and, of course, Jack said he didn't want to lose his job, but he understood the boss's situation. Then he called in Mary, and said, 'Mary, I've got a problem;By the end of the day, I've got to lay you or Jack off...'And Mary says, 'Then you're gonna have to jackoff, buster, I've got a headache!' ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ Make up nicknames for all your coworkers and refer to them only by these names. "That's a good point, Sparky." "No, I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to disagree with you there, Cha-Cha." Send email to the rest of the company telling them exactly what you're doing.

*** VIRUS ALERT *** If you receive an email entitled "Badtimes" delete it immediately. Do not open it! It will not only erase everything on your hard drive, but it will also delete anything on disks within 20 feet of your computer. It demagnetises the stripes on ALL of your credit cards. It reprograms your ATM access code, screws up the tracking on your VCR and uses subspace field harmonics to scratch any CD's you attempt to play. It will re-calibrate your refrigerator's coolness settings so all your ice cream melts and your milk curdles. It will program your phone autodial to call only your mother-in-law's number. This virus will mix antifreeze into your fish tank. It will drink all your beer. It will leave dirty socks on the coffee table when you are expecting company. Its radioactive emissions will cause your toe jam and bellybutton fuzz (be honest, you have some) to migrate behind your ears. It will replace your shampoo with Nair and your Nair with Rogaine, all while dating your current boy/girlfriend behind your back and billing their hotel rendezvous to your Visa card. It will cause you to run with scissors and throw things in a way that is only fun until someone loses an eye. It will give you Dutch Elm Disease and Tinea. It will rewrite your backup files, changing all your active verbs to passive tense and incorporating undetectable misspellings which grossly change theinterpretations of key sentences. If the "Badtimes" message is opened in a Windows95 environment, it will leave the toilet seat up and leave your hair dryer plugged in dangerously close to a full bathtub. It will not only remove the forbidden tags from your mattresses and pillows, but it will also refill your skim milk with whole milk. It will replace all your luncheon meat with Spam. It will molecularly rearrange your cologne or perfume, causing it to smell like dill pickles. It is insidious and subtle. It is dangerous and terrifying to behold. It is also a rather interesting shade of mauve. These are just a few signs of infection... ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________

I have a agoraphobia/claustophobia and if you had to collar/board me, better get out your best drugs because I will fight you on it. Something that happened to me when I was 7 yrs old and because I'm an adult today, I live with this, I do take medication for it. But I dont consider it a mental illness.

There has been a boom of Buddhist temples since the 1980s after decades of suppression by the atheist Communist Party, which took power in 1949. BOOM = more burger kings put together. j/k Namaste

I agree with her, its like saying wtf is your problem? but it isnt. thats the problem with this world, nobody feels sorry for the little people, she has a radically hip ring in her lip dont you think? She's telling it like it is, it's just old farts, people generally with not enough time on their hands, need to find a cause and go with it. How about raising funds for those poor ppl in EMS, whose funds are small and loans are large. Can you bake, she even asked that question, yeah I can, I make a mean chocolate cake, with lots of icing. but hey thats just me.

Probably has an infection somewhere, that is just my thought.

And plenty of Ecstasy to go around.

You are driving in a car at a constant speed. On your left side is a 'drop off' (The ground is 18-20 inches below the level you are traveling on), and on your right side is a fire engine traveling at the same speed as you. In front of you is a galloping horse which is the same size as your car and you cannot overtake it. Behind you is another galloping horse. Both horses are also traveling at the same speed as you. What must you do to safely get out of this highly dangerous situation? scroll all the way down for the answer. * Get your drunk ass off the merry-go-round. *

It's easy nobody looks behind, always to the right or left yet they dont look period. I called Calgary EMS 4 months ago when one of their medics nearly took me off the road, no sirens just lights. I looked into my rearview mirror and they werent there, but, in a matter of minutes they came out of no where. The new medic that was driving, also got into trouble when he was leaving the ambulance bay at the PLC (hospital), he apparently ran over this lady's suitcase that was sitting on the curb. The nice lady at EMS HQ asked me if I was the lady that had called and left a message(something to do about the suitcase in question and I said no, why did this same new medic we are talking about the same one that cut me off, she said oh boy, then she put me on hold and I spoke to a supervisor. I was told he was a new medic, who started working yesterday, which was June 15. I was told he's a really good medic but his driving sucked bigtime. They said this new medic was to send me a letter of apology but I havent seen it yet.

As of lately Calgary EMS this last 2 weeks mostly weekends and full moons have been really busy, is it do in some sense to a 1/2 and full moon that weird things happen? September 29th at 6:30pm it was a busy SW intersection of wall to wall Ambulance's, everywhere you went, there they were. SwissChalet had a call for a 59 yr old man complaining of chest pain, his wife said they were coming out of the restaurant after having dinner, when this all started. The second Ambulance was over where my fiance lives at a senior's residence complex and another Ambulance to which they were way out of their area went speeding passed me. I have never seen that much happen in a matter of 15 minutes of each other. I want to know what have you experienced since Sept 29th and what were your calls like last Halloween?

Maybe those so-called Government employees should spend some quality time with EMS workers to get an idea that lunch is never what it seems.

Why is it when people choose the profession your in over others? Why did Paul Harrison become a funneral director, because he does his own embalming of all those dear souls who died in your care. People who are going to become EMR's, EMT's and so on have yet to experience the true nature of what accidents can do to a person. Robert Jenson age 26 became a doctor because he said the horror in the movies didnt gross him out it was in fact what brought him into this practice of wanting to be a surgeon. All the blood and gore only helped him to improve the truth, he said you can tell whose going to be a somebody and those who wont make it in this profession. If this isnt eery enough, wait it only gets better come Halloween when the real scary shit comes out to play.

All that picture could be is someone being tomatoed to death, but then again I have a picture from a guy whose mouth got shot off and he's just sitting there, must be some pretty good pain meds.

To bad that wasnt my friend's ex

Well you could say; Are his medical bills paid up? lmao

I guess the moose had it in for the ambulance. Here in a our city, everytime the sirens go off from ambulance, or fire truck, the coyotes howl up a storm.

For some days now I'm missing my blog and wish it were here. Without it I cannot dispell my sadness because it is down and hopefully we can get through this with patience as our virtue. Oh Blog where art thou, I miss you so much, that without you here I feel compelled to sing you this song. I had a little blog, he was much more worthy than my frog. He taught me how to observe and showed me some curves, that this wasnt the end it was around the bend. That the Admin promised to get them up and runnin again. I had a little blog, who was lonesome and blue, he was waiting just for you. It was a matter of time before they were back online and now I can sit back and not worry about the slack, I'll be back on track singing the blues. Oh Blog I miss you so. . .

I guess the party's over?
