Party! Party! Party! : A thread in which we party
I have a First Aid certificate, I can do CPR on Tuffy.
It's due to expire soon thoughh, and everytime I renew it they've changed the number of initial recovery breaths, and compressions.
I hear the compression are the most important part. Everyone thump Tuff on the chest.
This is reassuring.
This is why we can't have nice things.
I took a class on child and infant CPR a couple years ago, but I seem to have forgotten the how many breaths and compressions to do. My certification probably expired too.

I think it's 5 recovery breaths to 30 compressions for an adult, then 2 breaths to 30 compressions. Using two hands.
Same for an infant, but using 2 fingers.
And use one hand for a child.
30 compressions should take the same time to sing a round of Row Row Row Your Boat if you're having trouble keeping count.

I read how to do CPR in a book.
I'm qualified to remind people to tip the head back and clear the airway.
Also, don't use too much tongue as that might further block the airway.
Oh, I quoted myself and I don't know why.
I forget about checking the airway and tilting the head back!
I killed Tuffy.
In all fairness, I did overdose on all the drugs.
This is why we can't have nice things.
We probably need an epi-pen then.
It seems like they should have just canceled each other out.
You gonna write on my face "I LIEK PEN15" and shizz while I'm totally dead, I just know it.
This is why we can't have nice things.
I nearly failed the CPR test. I had to demonstrate the child version of the procedure and forgot the part where after getting no reaction for a few tries, you call 911. My health teacher let me go on for about 5 minutes before taking pity on me on and subtly making a phone shape with his hand.
My point is, they'll just give those cards to anyone these days.
I mean, party party party!
This is why we can't have nice things.
Sup.

I guess Frank ain't takin' that call....

I have first aid/cpr/defibrillator/bear safety/shotgun range training so IT'S ALL GOOD I AM PROFESSIONAL.
(seriously, I am technically "bear safety" trained)
“if you want to be a bird,” you said once, “with colorful plumage and buoyant trills, you must also be ready for hollow bones."
How does one go about getting 'bear safety' trained?

dude, I went to alaska.
basically, the refuge I worked for had tons of bears roamin' around so I had to be able to identify:
1. if a bear was around (marks, poop, ACTUAL BEAR)
2. if there, what kind of bear, how old
3. if not there, when it was there
4. know what to do when a situation arises in which a bear is present
5. training with bear mace
6. how not to die
7. how to die gloriously

The people in my corporate office in Hailey, Idaho used to tell me they all carried bear mace and I was like, "LOL, I may live in Alabama but I didn't just fall off the turnip truck, y'all!" because I thought they were pulling my leg. Then, I was there for work and we took a lunch break at the ski lodge and rode the gondola up and I swear I saw a REAL FUCKING BEAR on the mountain, just moseying around like it owned the place, even though there were people skiing down the slope in another area. So yeah, I guess that bear mace is the real deal.

yeah, it was pretty cool I guess.
(no really it changed my life ^.^)

Aw that's awesome. I really want to spend a season in Alaska & hike as much as possible & do a whole photographic series on it.

if you end up doing that, get in touch with me and I'll help you out as best as I can. I've got some good pointers.

I definitely will, thanks. I just need to get my finances in order.

at the refuge I worked at, we had a photographer come and work to get new photos for the refuge. since you're into photography, I'd suggest checking it out.
he was alright, but here's the thing: he's the heir to a wealthy US representative so he's got all this expensive equipment and great website, but he's not all that renowned. also, even though I like his photography, he photoshops things WAY too much. so much that it's not even realistic looking. he would make add all kinds of colors to the sky that weren't there and...
well you just can go look. click the link to "kenai national wildlife refuge"
you'll see. SOME OF THEM DON'T EVEN LOOK REAL.

“if you want to be a bird,” you said once, “with colorful plumage and buoyant trills, you must also be ready for hollow bones."
also, some of his posed wildlife is actually stuck in its place. especially the birds, they sometimes have metal holders on them.
sorry I'll stop bitching I just really didn't like that guy. he used all the internet and hot water.
“if you want to be a bird,” you said once, “with colorful plumage and buoyant trills, you must also be ready for hollow bones."
No, I completely understand. I like to edit my photos, but I really dislike when people go over the edge.
I might be wrong, but some of his lake/landscapes look a bit like hdr to me. I haven't personally done any worthwhile hdr.
I bitch about photographers who take shit for granted a lot, I know a lot of kids that are just doing it because their mom/dad literally bought them all the equipment they wanted, and they don't even use it properly.
Bahhh.People.

Hey guys look what I found
Two inflatable dolphins raping each other over a water slide! Drop down to your skivvies and
How are they gonna rape each other with their faces??
Oh, like you've never heard of cetacean face rape.
This is why we can't have nice things.
Yes, never mind, I just thought of a way.
I guess I better party too!
Gonna do this pretty soon, so I'll bring it here. Hope this encourages you guys to travel a bit dangerously. Don't be a mule!
Si vis pacem, para bellum
Owl- I want to go, haven't been. Need to see boneroo too.
The kind of not right, after your to the point of eating 5 strips with fifths of vodka.
EVERYONE GET IN YOUR SKIVVIES.

I got new underwear. They're not even from the Gap!

When I get drunk this is how I think I dance.
This is really what it looks like.
Ode to Leigh Bowery
This is really what it looks like.
BUT WHY AREN'T YOU DANCING???
I can normally dance but when I'm drunk I just do a variation of this.
I want to fly kites now
And where the heck is Noah with all his naked party people?
I mostly bum wiggle when I dance.
*bumwiggle*
I think I have a CPR certification. I like his style more though.
