It happens form time to time at the hospital where I work.
A few years ago I was helping a woman out of a pickup truck. Opened the passengers door and was about to assist her into a wheelchair for the trip up to the Birth Center.
She said "To Late" and the head was showing under her robe. I gloved up and reached down just as the rest of it popped out.
The hardest part was trying to get the damn birth center nurses to come down with a delivery kit and take over.
"Can you put her in a wheelchair and roll her up?"
Uh, no. why don't you come down and take the baby out of my hands and do what you went to school to do.
"We will be waiting for her as soon as you can get her on the elevator."
Cool, should I go ahead and cut the cord before I get her on the elevator too?
Finally a couple of nurses got out there and took over and transported mom and baby upstairs.

A few months later a coworker was helping a woman into a wheelchair and the baby came out onto the sidewalk.
I found out about it the next night and ribbed him for about a week.
"Dude, You didn't catch the baby? What the heck? I caught the baby."

Wrong.

Also in the July issue read about some pro-gun bills that made it through this last legislative session, how St Tammany Parish tried and failed to pass gun control and how the City of Abbeville succeeded in passing gun control ordinances.

Jake Gyllenhaal in JarHead.
I can't watch any movie he's in since this. It's all about his character in Jarhead. I watched that movie and all of his sniveling and freaking out and just wanted to set him on fire. Maybe it was the script based off of the book by a Marine who had some issues. Maybe it was how the director told him to play the role. Whatever it was, after Jarhead I avoid any movie Jake is in. I am a Desert Storm Vet. I was there driving my tank around those same areas including those burning oil fields. His portrayal of what happened and how we handled it just pissed me off.

Has SSB and runs on AAA if needed.
Looks nice. Good reviews.
If I didn't have my ham radios on my desk or needed something portable I would seriously consider this.
I say go for it.

I don't care.
Honestly, some people take the whole "flag etiquette" thing to some the level of idol worship.
"Retiring" a flag by cutting out the stars and burying them or burning them separably is just ridiculous.
Reminds me of Catholic school when the priest played all of those Body Of Christ games with a communion wafer.
Also, I don't pretend to show it some sort of respect because "people died for what it represents". What exactly does that mean anyway?
Is it supposed to represent some Norman Rockwell idealized version of nationalism which has never really existed?
We have documents proving that our government has used false flag operations to get us into wars that we were probably better off not being involved in. We see constant misuse of authority and injustice. We have spy programs that would make the former KGB green with envy. People are told not to question "our leaders". We shouldn't have "leaders" anyway. We should have "elected representatives" who represent us in affairs of state. Affairs that we, as the represented, should have access to. Often this is not the case.
Blind allegiance and patriotism is not something to be respected. Those who would die for "what it represents" are naive and are not exercising critical thinking skills.
Ask 100 people what "America" is to them and you will get 100 different answers. Interpretations based on class, income, geography, ethnicity and a whole host of other factors.
What does the flag represent? Everything. Nothing.

When I was driving tanks in the Army I didn't have a choice. There were times I HAD to pee in a bottle because we were on a road march or formation and I couldn't just pull the tank over to get out and pee.

Shortly after I got out of the Army I was training to be a truck driver. One night I pulled over to the side of the interstate to pee. My Driver Trainer was napping in the sleeper and poked his head out the curtain to ask why we were stopped. I told him why. "That's why you have a bottle. Use it." he says.
Hell no. I informed him exactly what he could do with his "bottle".
I peed in a bottle in Germany, Texas and some sand covered Camalstan places. Those days are over.
I'm home, in America, on a public highway. I am never peeing in a bottle again. There is nothing in the truck and nowhere I have to be that can't wait while I pull over and water the flowers on the side of the road.

She's fappable but I have no idea who she is. The name doesn't ring a bell with me at all.

I'm 47 and have never developed a taste for beer.
I've tried it several times and drank socially a few times but frankly could never seem to find a brand that didn't taste nasty to me.
My dad didn't drink it either.
