First World Problems...

Huh?

I don't plan on needing any of these emergency services, and supposedly the general line will work from my U.S. cell phone. Whether I need to dial the country prefix is a question that is best left to the experts.

But we really are spoiled in America! You know...a 1st World country!

26 They could consolidate everything into one call center like 911.

But that would mean about 75% of those government jobs in the other call centers would become redundant.

Since the French government doesn't believe in redundancy in state jobs, they'll just raise taxes, add debt, and continue on.

Of course, in addition to your cellular number they want your name, address, spouse, etc. There's about a half dozen of these services, likely legit, and then another half dozen that probably aren't around here.

90 I saw a documentary about the various failures contributing to the death of Princess Diana. The French emergency system was a major factor. Here in the US we dial 911, and that works for any emergency.
In France, at that time all of those systems were disconnected from one another and they were overwhelmed with multiple calls into multiple systems and it became a mess. On top of that, France had an ambulance service that was government run, the ambulances were well stocked but the drivers poorly trained. There was a private service of EMTs that were well trained but poorly provisioned. The ambulance drivers were forbidden from letting the private EMTs use the equipment in the government ambulances. So Diana had well trained EMTs around her, but they couldn't use the medical equipment that was on site.

Another difference that lead to her death. Here in the US protocol is to stabilize the patient and transport the patient as fast as possible to a hospital which has the most staff and resources to help the patient.

That was not the French protocol at the time, which was to treat the patient on site. It was almost 2 hours after the accident when she ARRIVED at the hospital.

103 >>You have to pay for the firetruck and the ambulance.

On July 4th I got up early and did a low and slow with a pork butt. The neighbors came over around 4 and brought whiskey and tequila which was great because the beer and rum I was drinking wasn't enough in the hot sun.

Around 9 I was getting a bit sleepy so I closed my eyes for a second and the next thing I knew I had a combination of 8 firefighters, EMTs and cops in my backyard. My neighbors thought I had died. They stuck those probe holders all over my chest to do a EKG and I kept telling them I was just napping. The female EMT looked at the EKG readout and said it looked normal. I said yea, cause I was sleeping. Then she asked if I had been drinking. No, those whiskey, tequila and rum bottles are just decoration.

No bill but I am plotting my revenge on my neighbors.

They won't see it coming.

110 Standing in front of an open refrigerator or freezer does not cool the room long term, because once the refrigeration cycles on again it will dump more heat to the room from the coils at the back of the unit than whatever respite of cooling you got with the door open (not to mention your food will spoil sooner rather than later)!

Too much stuff.

I'm almost finished going through the last items in the house. So much went to Goodwill. I have 13 contractor bags of stuff. And there was so much duplication.

1. I'm looking at hundreds of envelopes in front of me.
2. So many pencils, pens, markers, paper clips, staples
3. So many air freshener plug ins.
4. There were a surprising number of Swifter pads
5. So much Clorox.
6. And a crazy number of those pads that go on the bottom of chairs.

And lastly, CD's, VCR tapes, CD-Rs, DVDs and books and duplicates of books.

117 FWP this week concerns my hedge clippers. They work great but one of the little rubber stopper things that are just under the blades keeps slipping down the handle.

I guess I'll leave it until Spring.

Refrigerated ones have a 4" dia tube that goes out the window. Most also have a drip tray you have to mind. I have a friend who experienced significant water damage when a houseguest left the a/c unit on all day unmonitored.

Evaporative units might work well in commenter fourseasons' zero humidity climate. Not good for humid places like the south.

187 Don Black - I get the impression that she’s channeling the way she spoke as a child. Her accent is probably not that thick nowadays in her everyday life.

190 Shetland? The actors all speak in a Shetlander accent by the way, so don't worry if they are all a little horse.

The lead doesn't come close. Also, neither does his son in law. And they ditched them both in the 4 and 5th season.

K-tot - whereabouts is 'here'?

We're only cooling off about 10 degrees or so overnight this time of year. Even tho our highs are not very high, it's still muggy. AC is a must!

196 Another difference that lead to her death. Here in the US protocol is to stabilize the patient and transport the patient as fast as possible to a hospital which has the most staff and resources to help the patient.

That was not the French protocol at the time, which was to treat the patient on site. It was almost 2 hours after the accident when she ARRIVED at the hospital.

The only survivor of the wreck was her bodyguard, who was also the only person in the car wearing a seat belt.

"Miao" in Spanish.

They say something similar in Portuguese, but it is pronounced way different.

Unlikely to adopt a Portuguese cat in ETEX.

200 You have to pay for the firetruck and the ambulance.

~~~~~

If your town has volunteer EMS and fire, there is no charge. Paid services will submit their charges to your insurance company.

But beware--you insurance company will not cover you if it was not a true emergency. Labor, broken arms, stitches, etc. are not considered emergencies.
