Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That's the landlord video, isn't it? (posting from PDA) I made a friend cry with that.

Back to work.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

what style? contemporary? traditional? and how much do you want to spend?

I'd like it to go with the desk that's in the corner of the kitchen across from the island and next to the bar. Expandable file folders aren't cutting it anymore. I suppose it's more of a traditional style, but I don't want it to be obvious that it's a filing cabinet. Ideally, I'd want to spend no more than $150, but the $100 range would be perfect.

but nothing beat 25 years of baseball paraphernalia. I love that library (even more now).

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

He bled to death on the way. Even if some of them had stayed behind so that he could lie down in the car with a tourniquet, my understanding is that he likely would have made it. They just did every single thing wrong.

People are dumb. Don't most people have to take a health class in high school? Don't all high school health classes teach you that excessive bleeding from a limb must be stopped with a tourniquet?

Does he really? That is awesome. And it created a spot for you. Win-win all around.

Vortex, thanks for the links. That's the general idea of what I'm looking for.

Out the door now. Really. I'm late. (Quelle suprise!)

Don't all high school health classes teach you that excessive bleeding from a limb must be stopped with a tourniquet?

Actually my recent first aid course for Little League discouraged using a tourniquet because (a) it causes a lot of damage; (b) you really should only use if if you have to lose the limb to save the life. Direct pressure is better.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Direct pressure and elevation.

Oh yeah - I remember hearing that. Is that direct pressure on the wound? or on the artery above it?

Anyway, a general rule of thumb that everyone should know is, "If you bleed too much you will die."
