    It just takes me a while to warm up to things. At the school dance, I was scared to bicycle boogie. Christian was really intimidating. But I overcame my fears and did squeakers off the balance beam!! Lets walk this sucker!!!

    You need to start CPR ASAP, and continue until relieved by a trained EMT professional.

    Be prepared to give the EMT vitals.


    FWIW I'm on the wasp's side. So good thing I'm not obligated to resuscitate.

    Funny this thread should appear now... tonight I saw my first Tarantula in the Verdugo Hills above Glendale/Burbank.

    I've seen them in the Sequioas and in Central America before, but never in our local mountains until tonight.
