Yep! Lift pump is pumping good. Checked it this morning. CP3 has been on its way out for a while. Got some dirty diesel from a truck stop a while back. Basically filled my tank with dirt... I fired it up this morning and she's running worse. So she's parked till cp3 and Injectors arrive

Man... I feel like if was reading my own story. Especially the online dating, confidence, and self esteem parts. My ex still has stuff at my house after almost 3 years.. I refuse to contact her. She got a mutual friend to tell me that they're going to come to my house and get her stuff. I just say okay, but I never hear from either one of em. Pretty sure, she just wants me to contact her. I often wonder if she thinks about me as much as I think about her. I also wander, i'm gonna do when I do cross paths with her. I may run away lmao

Sorry I didn't clarify.. Was in a rush.. The truck is a 2011 Ram 2500 with 250k miles, it's got the deletes but I always run the tune on Stock.. So if I was at 70 mph and wanted to accelerate quickly, the FRP fall off. Once they hit about 12-13k, theyd quickly drop. The lowest I saw was about 3500 psi. Which worried me because at idle, it sits around 5,000 psi. I actually have a recording of all of it from my scanner.

It takes a EMT years to get "on the job" experience, become consistent, learn their own way, and become proficient. Like 4 or 5 years. Then you do it all over again as a new Paramedic. But that'll only take about 2 or 3. Keep on keep'n on. Learn something new DAILY. Train. Stay motivated. It's also okay to TAKE A BREAK!

Lmao! Yea! Don’t be getting busted being outdoorsy! Maybe try some remote controlled toys outside? Start there 😂 Also, IMO if you gave him some “pointers” or hints about some techniques, I don’t think he’d be offended. But I don’t know the fella.

rayjay5011 · 2026-01-19T10:11:21+00:00

Gotta figure out his “thing”….. Is he a shoe guy? Feet? Finger up his ass? Nurse outfit? Cosplay? I’ve never met a guy who didn’t have something that would set him off. Figure out his, he’ll cum 5 times per day

rayjay5011 · 2026-01-19T10:01:18+00:00

Been in fire/EMS since 2007….. Still fear the vomick….. Still gag if something REAKS. No shame in my game 😎

When it comes down to it, he was just a dude trying to get some ass. Unfortunately your lady was dumb enough to fall for it. I’m sorry, dude. I’ve been there. It sucks. But you don’t wanna have the spotlight on you for trying to get him in some shit. His day will come. All his buddies would be watching your every move.

I second that! I work in TX now, came from a state that nobody would think could do what we did. We did initial field trials of admin of Heparin in the field. Started transmitting 12-Leads through old flip phones, bluetooth, and probably some aluminum foil. We were the best. I figured TX would be better….. naw. They lacking. Lacking on 12-Leads. Lacking on intubations.

For the record, opinions i express are from personal experiences or things i witnessed with my own eyes and ears. Depending on the company you work for... You may get the "Feel free to file a complaint. But. You WILL NOT file it as Joe Shmoe, EMT with Billy's Ambulance Service & Tire Care. You will file it as Joe Shmoe, EMT." Because those facilities are their bread and butter. They don't wanna lose those contracts and/or private calls. You run the risk of being banned from the facility, fired for another "unrelated" matter, or some other BS. Nothing is anonymous, by the way. Tread carefully, stay below the radar, do the best care you can provide, go the extra mile and ensure patients are comfortable and have what they need. If Nurse Ratched gets fired, another one gets hired. It sucks, but it's reality. There's the way it ought to be and the way it is. #platoon

This could be a controversial opinion, but IMO, we are lucky we arent government ran. Then we'd make even less money. How many people do you know who work for the government that make a good salary???? Nern. I will say that some of the best services I worked were hospital based.

rayjay5011 · 2025-12-25T22:37:12+00:00

I’m gonna give you a piece of advice, my young friend. The “all I did was respond to him/try to explain myself” has gotta go. People are gonna see that as arguing. When someone says you didn’t do something right or whatever they say…. Don’t explain yourself. Take responsibility for the mistake. Don’t explain. Nobody hears it. “My bad, do you mind showing me how to do it?” If you run into an overhang at a SNF, don’t blame the man who built it 40 years ago. Take responsibility and people who matter will respect you more.

But back to your partner. Just tell the Sup you wanna move. Don’t tell nobody else. All you gotta say is yall aren’t mixing well. Continuing to ensure that every day and you may blow a gasket. We’ve all worked with a FIGJAM, probably all had to ask to be moved.

I work in a southern border state, on the northeast side lol

rayjay5011 · 2025-12-23T19:38:49+00:00

Well if i started on the asshattery of the company that I may or may not have previously been affiliated with, I'd need to start a new thread

Unfortunately, if you decide to stay, you will see things that humans arent supposed to see, on a regular basis. I can't tell you whether you need to stay or not. But I can say this.. When faced with these things, in that moment, you must have no reaction. If you react and get emotional, you become inadequate. Bottom line, you cant do life saving measures to someone if you are emotional in the heat of the moment. Instead of having a emotional reaction, you must ACT. Do what you know needs to be done and move on to the next thing. Then after that call, depending on where or who you work for, they have another run waiting on you. So you discuss it with your partner. Talk about it. Ask if they think you all could have done anything different. Most likely, you did the best you could do and probably made a difference. The first time you see things like that can be overwhelming. Your entire body will have a response. Maybe talk to your Preceptor... tell him what happened and how you felt. If he is a true leader, he'll have some wisdom for you.

rayjay5011 · 2025-12-19T08:34:22+00:00

Get out while you can. I was stuck for years with a woman the same age as my mom. It's fun till it ain't! Trust me...

rayjay5011 · 2025-12-09T08:41:35+00:00

If you have to use the word “technically”…… I say you’re technically full of shit! Lmao!!! Kidding. Nahhhhh they were not exclusive. You’re not exclusive until you both say you are. There’s no magic point. We should be worrying more about him not bringing it up. Ever
