The pay is much better if you are in a paid Fire Dept. That was with a private service, but not the typical private svc. We did all of the 911 calls in Guernsey and Noble counties plus all of the hospital to hospital transfers, the nursing home trips, etc. I was the only medic on the shift then, and we only ran 2 crews, so it was not out of the ordinary to be up all 24 hrs of your shift. It has changed a lot since I left. They run 3 medic trucks in town, one in a neighboring town, and one in noble county. I think the pay is MUCH better. I am at the Cambridge Fire Dept now, and it is the berries here.

As a medic when I started in 1992, I was getting paid $6.79 an hour....yes those are medic wages with an associates degree. Paid just as well to wipe asses in a nursing home, with a ton more responsibility. I am probably lucky I made it as long as I did. My second week on the job I had 2 babies drown in car that rolled down a hill into a pond. (eternal mental picture). When I left that job in 2000, I was making $9.66 an hour. I still admire some of my friends who are still there. I know the pay has gotten better, but the mental stress is ridiculous.

You know, we just had a big debate about this in the barn. We have a physical incentive that we do every year. It isn't overly difficult, but if you sit on your ass all day all year, it will give you problems. A few of us suggested that we go to a 12 month wellness program, and these guys about shit their pants. I am 39, I will admit, overweight.....but I manage to run about 9 miles a week. I have no problem with it. The big thing that I try to convince thse guys of is this... I weigh 205, with gear on....255-265. After going through 1 bottle, do you think you can drag me out? It would be hard for me and I am in fairly good shape.

Formerly a Medic for 17 years, rolled it back to a basic, because I haven't been in the back of a squad for 9 years. We do not do EMS at CFD. I am a firefighter and a haz mat tech, and a member of the region 8 USAR team.

My Mom just got bit on the big toe by a Brown Recluse, swelled up and looked like a Fred Flintstone toe. She went to the Dr, and they jammed a big needle in and drained all of the pus out of it. 2 weeks of antibiotics too. You really need to go to the dr. If you are having a systemic reaction, like it sounds that you are, it can be lethal. I worked as a medic for 12 years and saw several people end up in life threatening situations from anaphylaxis. I am sure there are others on here in the medical field that will tell you the same.

Charcoal lighter fluid, or regular lighter fluid will dissolve that crap.

I am a gambler, but I will prolly vote no on it this time. The way it is written, the only places that will EVER be allowed to have a casino built are Columbus, Cleveland, Toledo, and Cincinnati. To me, that is horseshit. Leaves SE Ohio out of the loop again.

Vegas at least once per year, like you, havent paid for a room in years. We almost always stay at the MGM Grand, but have offers on the table from Mandalay Bay, Monte Carlo, NYNY, Excalibur, and Luxor. They are all owned by MGM, plus a few more. We use our rewards card at all of them and see what we can get. We go downtown every time to play roulette and craps because it is so cheap. I can usually take $100 downtown and play craps all day and get shitfaced on captain and cokes. Make the occasional trip to Wheeling Downs, Meadows in PA, and will make our first trip to Hollywood Casino in Lawrenceburg next month. Next year for our 40th birthdays we are going to LV for a week.....cant wait.

Woodsfield, home of 78, 800, 26, 536, 255, and 556. not to mention a few of the nicer twp roads. In Cambridge now, but still know 40 ways back home.

Wow, you guys need to get old like me. 200 bucks a year with progressive, full coverage on 2 bikes. Granted, they are not liter bikes, but I feel sorry for you guys. That is prolly the biggest reason I didnt buy one til I got older.

I have been pretty fed up with Columbia Gas for a long time. 10 years ago, when I was first hired at the fire Dept, I had a newborn and an 8 year old. I was on the budget, but having so many other priorities, we only paid for the amount of gas we used, not the budget amount. Columbia Gas dude comes to the door and tells me I am $400 behind on my budget, and if I did not pay it by 4 that day, the gas would be shut off. So I went and paid the bill. Next month, I had a $400 + credit on my bill. Cocksuckers use your money, and suck up intrest. They came to read the meter and put a remote reader on since I am not here during the day, and they have to get in once a year. Sonofabitch red tagged my water heater and told me I had to put in a chimney liner that costs $500. I told him to suck my balls and get off my property. any more crap from those theives, and I wll be all electric.

Thats a cute little bike

I was gonna post a buddys VTR250 up, but I think he is looking for around 1500 for it. I still have my Yamaha FZ 600. I may come off of it for $850 for an OR member. Just got new rubber for the front today, and painting the wheels tomorrow.

Heres some good parts for a good price. These do not fit the aero, but they will fit either the ACE or the 750 spirit. http://forums.delphiforums.com/TheSpiritWorld/messages

Shit, I didnt see the post....I had to work anyway. I woulda gone had I seen it and been off. I was thinking of going down 800, up 7 back up 255, 800 back to woodsfield, 78 to 536, 7 up to 255 to beallsville, 145 to lewisville, and 78 back to cambridge.

I have sold shit on there, and I have dealt with morons too. I advertised my old garage on there for sale.....well, come tear it down, and you can have it. This douchebag and his 2 boys show up in a conversion van with some new tools to tear down and haul away a 12x20 building. they worked for 4 hours, and didnt even have the roof off of it, then they told me the wood was rotten, and they didnt want it. I told him to get the fuck off of my property, and sent them packin.

I just passed that last night, but decided not to take 148. We were headed south out of Barnesville on 800, over to Wilson, and I wanted to cut over to 26 into Wilson, but had rememberd that they are chip and sealing everything over that way. I was not about to try it as hot as it was last night. I would say with 100% confidence that there is loose stone all over that.

you suck

We were talking about doing an up and down trip.....go down 800 to the river, up 255, down 536, and back up 556. Total will be less than 100 miles from Woodsfield, but getting there from Cambridge is about 46 miles.

I think the mid curve speed bumps are culverts that are settling in. The first one I hit was a little unnerving, but I got used to it.
