    Piece of shit parents... 20 years of trauma nursing/hospital administration work here. Today I had a 7 year old in a MVA with pelvic fractures, spinal cord injury, and subdural hematoma (blood in the head) from not being properly restrained. The mother who was driving tested positive for...

    Gatlinburg Falls - Smokey Mtn,CO July 4th. What should I make sure to see & do?

    Cades Cove for hiking and scenery. Avoid downtown Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg like the plague. Dollywood is actually not that bad and has several decent rides for all ages. Also surprisingly clean. Most importantly eat here.http://www.bestitalian.com/It's at red light #9 in Gatlinburg (yes...

    favorite 90s alternative/indie rock

    Posted once already, but by FAR the best version of this song. The bass line is NUTS. Fast forward to 5:00 in. Pretty much anything from the Singles soundtrack Screaming Trees were very under rated. AiC always great. and still remember the night this video premiered and...

    The amazing difference in Minor Melodies and Major Melodies

    As most musicians know, songs with a minor chord progression typically have a sad and dramatic feel. On the other hand, songs with major chord progression have the exact opposite. Major chords tend to invoke happiness and pleasure. Much has been written about it suggesting that major chords...

    The Official Guitar Thread

    I'm in a similar boat. I've been playing for over 20 years, and have a HORRIBLE picking habit, that is too late to switch. For some damn reason, I hold the pick between my thumb and 3rd finger, leaving my 2nd finger pointing out. I occasionally bring in my 2nd finger but only 20-25% of the...

    The progressive rock thread

    A bit heavier, but prog none the less. This track is one of their "less progressive", but they are definitely in that genre. Their bass player is amazing.

    What's your luckiest kill or saved by the skin of your teeth moment?

    Not sure if luckiest but most memorial was to take part in the first game wide AoW kill in Everquest. Still remember exactly where my corpse was laying when he went down, LOL!

    The progressive rock thread

    Anyone who doesn't know King's X and calls themselves a fan of progressive music (or Rock for that matter) should hand in their music card. Hands down the most incredible 3 piece ever. Yes ahead of Rush. Amazing chemistry and amazing musicianship...

    Liquors & Cocktails

    He's the oldest Master Distiller in the United States. He also created Blanton's Single Barrel (an incredible bourbon in it's own). About as close to Van Winkle as your going to get in an affordable bourbon.

    Flight

    I had three bourbons before starting this movie. Was hard to pour the 4th midway through, but I willed my way through it. By the end, I was pouring my 5th to celebrate.....wait......did I miss something?

    Vasectomy Inc

    Usually just 3-4 days. I'd wait 10-14 before getting on the bike again. The problem is 99% of folks start moving around too early because there is little to no pain. Then the shit hits the fan.....

    Soda Stream

    My son got one for Christmas. The LED lights in the front were not working, so I took off the front cover. The battery connectors were loose and once tightened all was good. The energy drink tastes just like Red Bull to me. I'm in love.....

    Liquors & Cocktails

    I'm actually quite fond of Basil Hayden. I still think Elmer T Lee is the best bang for your buck (as do many Bourbon critics). If you are a Makers Mark fan, try the Makers 46 for a smoother bourbon. 1792 is a decent lower price bourbon, but not one of my liking. I'd much rather go with a...

    Garage Door Openers

    I've used a chain driven "Overhead Doors" brand for years with no problems at all. Most of your noise comes from the rails, not the motor. If you grease it once a year with spray teflon you will be good to go.

    The Beer Thread

    Holy shit dude.....I consider myself a beer/bourbon/wine snob amongst most. I'm a sucker for a good Belgian trappist, but just couldn't fork down the money for Westvleteren. I just dropped a few hundred down on some Van Winkle bourbon and a couple of 50+ year Ports, and my liquor financial...

    Redbreast isn't bad at all in terms of Irish Whiskey. Definitely more flavorful than Jameson.

    What do you do?

    Really depends on your long term goal. Emergency/Trauma is a bit of a special calling, but on a resume makes you HIGHLY desired. If you plan is masters for Nurse Practitioner, then go ER hands down. If you are looking at Nurse Anesthetist, then go ICU. Both will require 2 years prior to...

    New Alice in Chains

    Go get it right now. I'd rank it somewhere in between Dirt and the Self Titled "Tripod" album. Unlike Soundgarden's newest, AiC seems to be able to rekindle that formula they were so well known for.

    Do you have health insurance?

    As a hospital administrator this thread interests me. I'm the CNO (Chief Nursing Officer) at my hospital, and have served as a regional administrator over several other hospitals in our company. I've been educated on the PPACA (Obamacare) until I'm blue in the face, and have written multiple...

    Vasectomy Inc

    Had mine done nearly 10 years ago. Working in healthcare, I had the Urologist do it after hours in his clinic. Procedure was fine, but I moved around too much post op. Also developed a small granuloma (collection of semen that leaks through the incision that forms a small cyst), that had to...

    After 6 years on a waiting list, I finally scored it! A bottle of 12 year Van Winkle! For those in the know with Bourbon, you can appreciate how hard this shit is to come by. Also a quick history lesson, but the last living master distiller of Van Winkle, and the oldest living bourbon...

    What are you listening to at the moment?

    This type of music is not my norm, but another similar artist is "A Fine Frenzy". The "Bomb in a Birdcage" album is great front to end. Plus, she isn't hard to look at. Here's a sample of the album.

    The Hobbit

    This. I thought the movie was fantastic, and will anxiously await part 2. That being said, I think Jackson is definitely taking his liberty at making this a true "prequel" than it's own story. I'm happy either way, but can definitely see your point.
