When he no longer want to get better is when there will be long convos and big decisions made. As for now, it s a one day at a time approach.



Good for you man, like I said, I really respet that.
Heh, I helped hijack my own thread. Very Happy

I was also going to read up on grant writing, so that I could apply for a job with the YWCA. But I wonder if they do not hire men.

Lol. No thanks.
We've got some good size hills and hollows in Missouri, and I've done the shovel ride before.
But never a mountain. Heck, I"ve never even seen a real mountain up close. Probably freak me out.

The grant writing thing did not work out. I found out that the job did not give enough hours per week to bother going to all that trouble to apply.

So instead I will now be reading about playwriting.

I have also been working with Flora on some personal skills: Fitness, Overcoming Anxiety, and Job Hunting.

Cool, what kind of plays do you want to write?

Me, I just got my First Aid and CPR/AED re-certification. Most of the class was watching the same American Heart Association video as last time, but the info is always good stuff to keep fresh in your mind.

Only new thing I learned that I didn't remember from last time was this. On an adult, after you see they're not responding, get someone to call 911 and go for an AED (or do it yourself if there's no one around) first, while with a child 1-8 years of age or appearance you should do 5 sets of CPR first before calling for help (2 rescue breaths, with 30 chest compressions in each set). Apparently, this extra bit of oxygen that your pumping to their brain in this time is more important for children. Obviously if there's someone else around, or you have your cell-phone with speakerphone or the ability to talk while still doing CPR, then call ASAP, but starting the chest compressions fast is even more important for kids.

The instructor said they may be making some more changes this year, so I'd be interested to see if you guys learn it the same way at SA4.

Jugglers process info better than other people.

The repeated physical patterns creat a sheen on the brain.

I was really jealous until I realized how many patterns I
repeat in karate, Step and dancing classes

...BIG "YAY!" for Juggling.
