Morning All

Thanx Karl - this is my all time fave song of the Eagles

Good morning all.
My computer has been giving me problems, so fingers crossed it co-operates the rest of the day.
I tried logging on about 2:30 this morning, then again from about 7:30. Finally, I'm successful.
I hope you have a great day.

I hope no one minds, but I'd like to brag about my son.
I'm so VERY proud of him !!!
He's receiving an award from the police for saving a life last summer.
Here's the story as he posted on Facebook if you care to read.

Apparently searching for a new truck might have saved a life. Today when pulling into a dealership there was a group of people standing around a person on the ground. He was ashen, cyanotic and when I checked was VSA (vital signs absent). I began CPR and with a bystander continued till paramedics arrived. We watched them give him x6 shocks, epinephrine and after 5 minutes load and transfer him into an ambulance. He was unresponsive when the ambulance left, without using their sirens.
However just got a call from the dealership that a family member called and despite my fears he is alive. Unconscious but alive.
Lesson to everyone... Take a freaking CPR course. I was amazed that no one was doing anything when we arrived. I'm amazed that in this day and age there are businesses that don't have portable defibrillators.
People, talk to your employers, they cost about $1000 and can make a real difference. Every minute you delay using a defibrillator you reduce their effectiveness by 10%.

Wow.
I received a letter from Durham Police inviting me to attend a recognition ceremony at Durham Regional Council, regarding the man I gave first aid / CPR to in the summer.
I didn't expect an award, and I am more than happy just knowing the guy lived though it. What's wild is that I don't even know his name.
I'm honoured and touched.
To all my Facebook friends, if you don't have first aid/CPR training, take it. Half a day or a day out of your life won't kill you, but you might be able to make a difference for a friend or loved one.


Way to go Marc.

Hi Everyone:

First of all yes you should be proud of your son 22 and he is so right that everyone should take the time to learn CPR etc. So great he helped to save a life! What does he do for a living?

First time I've been on the computer for 11 days but didn't really miss it. Absolutely loved spending everyday on that beautiful white sandy beach. When we arrived I noticed they hadn't put us in one of the buildings I had requested and was hoping for so after speaking to the manager she came up with another room so we checked them both and took one with a fantastic ocean view, they usually charged $100 extra for a view like that but she didn't charge us so that was a nice start. I felt bad for a man from Sudbury who came on his own so he had to pay a single supplement which worked out to twice the price for his 7 days that we payed for 10 days plus when he got there he wanted to switch rooms and they charged him the $100 extra (I didn't tell him they didn't charge us) and it was only a partial ocean view...........Anyways, the weather was hot and sunny everyday except for 2 which were mixed. The entertainment was good. They had a great Cuban Rock Band who played poolside one day - they did everything from AC/DC, Lynard Skynard, Beatles to Neil Young etc. We arrived good and early and left at 4 p.m. on the last day so we got the most time we could. It's a drag when you arrive late at night and have to go back early which would have been the case had we gone on Tues or Wed.

Such a nice beach ..........
