    Dispatchers same or changed?!

    Started in the 90's with Roberts and most of the dispatchers reminded me of that old movie "mother jugs and speed" with Raquel Welch, Bill Cosby and Larry Hagman. The moral of the movie that they were competing ambulance companies and whoever got to the patient got the fee. They'd set with their...

    Best Wifi

    We use a Verizon Pad and sometimes we use it as a Hotspot; however, it's limited to 5g and if you use much video it sucks that up real quick.

    How Expediting has changed from 20 years ago.

    I remember the good old QUALCOMM pagers. Would go to a WalMart and point the van towards the store , send the wife in and send a test message and see if it set the pager off. If it didn't only one of us would shop. Anyone else used this procedure? We also used it at other various spots.

    If you pay for a prescription,

    Publix stores offer free antibiotics with a prescription. It saves us because we have knee replacements and you have to take an antibiotic before every Dentist visit

    Ditto on Lowes. Was using and it maintained a signal for at least 5 miles down the road

    Entitlements

    I agree maybe that would be in the earned entitlement cat.

    Entitlements

    My thoughts exactly, that is why I titled it temporary relief. One of our Son's was on unemployment for a while and about 2 weeks before benefits were to expire he found a job. Duh

    Entitlements

    I have always thought entitlements are too general in description. I believe they ought to be divided into at least 2 divisions. Earned and emergency. Earned would be like mine for retirement from the U S Navy and emergency would be for persons that need temporary help. What are your thoughts or...

    Not familiar with this product; however there are some products that are great for a few days but continuing use there will be a rebound affect.

    Sleep Apnea

    Been here and done that at Mayo in Florida. Wearing the mask is like being "on the rack". My Grandmother was the worst snorer I've ever heard and that includes 23 years U S Navy. She would rattle the shingles. She lived to 102, if she'd been treated she could have probably lived to 120? :cool:

    A country founded by geniuses and run by idiots

    This is absolutely correct and there are many more examples. When I was kidded by a fellow Navy Officer that I wasn't a "real Naval Officer" since I did not have a college degree. I replied that I had a legitimate PHD that I received from DPU (deck plate university) where I was required to think...

    This makes way too much sense. I applaud the "turtle" for bring in the facts which should be obvious to anyone. I guess it's easier to demonize your opponent. During the 50's it was McCarthy'ism from the so called right now the liberals use racism as there charge. I really don't support anyone...

    Confused?

    Interesting poll by Yale Professor who researched Political Groups as to which were more scientifically savvy and he reported that he was shocked, the winner "tea party"! Many of us remember the "old days" when the Democrat party had people like Hubert Humphrey, Jack Kennedy and Harry Truman (my...

    Should racism be a part of a general comment. I think not, it's like molestation charge your guilty until proven innocent. Who knows what a persons motivation is unless the evidence exists. That's why I mentioned Jackson & Sharpton their history proves they are contrary to Martin Luther King's...

    I guess I really don't understand this, do you know who Cain and Carson are?? If I was a racist why would I be for Herman Cain and Dr Ben Carson. Grew up in Southern California and was stationed twice in Hawaii. Now Hawaii has some racism. Most racism that was existent in my younger days was...

    Confused?

    Ditto on that. At least someone with business experience. I think some Expediters on here would do better, especially when it came to thinking on your feet and running a business. How many business's are not hiring because of Obama Care or throttling hours because of the 30 hour full time...

    Confused?

    Perhaps I should have stated the usual talking head news :ABC, NBC & CBS. LOL Once upon a time these were real news people. Newspapers reported the news throughout the newspaper and opinions were restricted to the editorial page. Now there is a little news in the story with a lot of opinion. Wow...

    Confused?

    Well this white boy grew up in south central Los Angeles in the 50's. I am a member of the tea party and I am for Dr Ben Carson for President. Previously I was for Herman Cain. Does this make me a Tea Party racist. My hero Harry Truman would not be welcome in either party these days especially...
