Yes, yes! For some reason, I thought both of you worked together. Where were you guys when I needed you 6 years ago when my little one (2yrs old at the time) choked on a candy I had given her (bad mommy). Man, that was the scariest time of my life. The candy completely blocked her airway. She stopped breathing and was turning blue. I tried everything to get it out - finger down the throat, upside down bashing on her back, the heimlich (sp?), but nothing worked.

I was hysterical with fear - very calm on the outside, but screaming inside - and decided there was no way this child was going to die in front of me. It had taken me 10 years to be gifted with her, so I laid her down on the floor and punched her in the stomach so hard that the candy flew out just as the EMTs came flying through the door.

Then I collapsed on the floor like a gibbering idiot.

I still have nightmares about it. Horrible, I tell you, horrible.

:eek:
I am glad that it all worked out for you.

Thanks ^.
Turns out the moron dispatcher who lost the contact info also wrote down the reg number wrong also. :-: The air ambulance service called back and got me so I finished what my co-worker was unable or unwilling do to in the first place :-:

Right back at ya.


I am trying to quickly pack for ZRH and I dont think everything I need/want will fit in my backpack :rolleyes:

Good News: got an EUA five days out for DEN-IAH next week.

Bad News: Sunday's flight to SFO is booked to 15 out of 16 in F. Fingers crossed for the golden ticket or an equipment swap!

I will not even hold my breath for the IAH-CLE segment....

Interesting trip for work and family:

CLE-SFO
SFO-SLC-DEN (couldn't turn down the $100 fare on DL, plus new lines/aircraft)
DEN-IAH-CLE

Love the sand and restaurants there. IIRC there is a french place that is top notch.

Watch out for the iguanas and be sure to take a drive to the north side of the island.

Thanks, but I cant wait to get out of here and will probably try the E train to the AirTrain to see how it works. Dont laugh but Im bringing a small suitcase which is pretty much empty but Ive been asked to do some duty free shoping for co-workers. I had no idea they smoked so much. Im expected to come back with at least 5 cartons of cig's.

Aren't cigarettes like $10/pack in New York City now?

Consensus appears to be BD for crediting. Hard to argue with 45,000 RDM (enough for a Cash + mi. J ticket to Europe, and almost enough for Cash + mi. F to S. America).

I think my 2010 CO Requal strategy is going to involve lots of TATL in whY. :rolleyes:

Make sure you bill those people appropriately if Customs gives you a problem. @:-)

And, if you were to map out the hours I spend in a week I'd say it goes something like this:

35% real job
35% EMS
20% sleeping
5% trying to understand what on earth The Canuck is talking about
3% eternal quest for the best pastry
2% plotting to take over the world

That's all?????

Air Force 1 is coming to ALB. Can anyone of my resident experts tell me if the 747 can land there? I'd like to see but I imagine traffic will be a nightmare in that area.

I think but I dont smoke cigarettes. Actually, my secretary said that her husband usually pays about $90 a carton so thats about right. She asked me to get whatever I could but I think there is a limit?
