I wonder where everyone is :D

Anyone else having trouble accessing CO's site, or is it yet another site that comcast is causing issues with this week?

I will get to experience this over Christmas

Double Barrel or pistol

Okay, after being down the past 20 minutes, works now...

As much as I love and respect you; I'll disagree. I've been upstairs on a few folks planes (BR's old F being my favorite with true lie flat seats that felt like real beds; not sure how they did it but I loved it and miss it) and I always loved the quiet of upstairs.

After the gym tonight, I'll drink the one black ale I have in the fridge.

rotflmao! I'm a pretty agressive person by the time I'm done with my trip. Taking a train to China on a holiday takes things to a whole NEW level. I can be a pit bull when needed. Don't FOXTROT with me!

I'm upstairs in the new UA 747 next month ORD-NRT. I did the old 747 LAX-SYD on my honeymoon, and I liked it. Much quieter, more private.

Apparently, due to a miscommunication, a paramedic was left behind two miles into the woods or Passaic County. We had dispatched EMS to some emergency in the wood. EMS all meet up and rode ATV’s into the wood to search for the patient and we had a medevac assist in the search. Once the patient was located and transferred to the medevac no one noticed they were one person short :-:. The paramedic called us and informed us he was left behind in the woods but could not provide his location. I had him dial 9-1-1 and instructed him to tell the operator to transfer him to medical dispatch so we can determine his location. Once we had him call us we were able to get his location and send help.

Apparently, it was all a big misunderstanding. There was no room in the medevac and they left him behind, but forgot to tell him. It seems this paramedic did notice the noise from the medevac or ATV’s that he was getting left behind or maybe there was a lot of dust from the rotors :-:

If you yell 911 with an EMT left in the woods but no one hears, is it still an emergency? Best I can do on vicodin. Sorry folks :rolleyes:
