or we could create a whole new conversation. dcp would have to play too though.

Natter Area 51: The Truthiness Is in Here
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Too complicated...
yep. Thanks, though, and thanks dcp.
I had to edit three times just for spelling and typos, editing for content as well would leave me trailing far behind the rest of you....
I just joined Facebook (where I believe I am the oldest person BY A MILE). I am doing it to keep up with nieces and nephews. Any Buffistas on there, let me know and I will be thrilled to friend you.
Oh yeah - I remember hearing that. Is that direct pressure on the wound? or on the artery above it?
On the wound.
The first aid class that I took was pretty clear that you should never use a tourniquet unless absolutely nothing else worked, it had been bleeding even through the pressure and elevation for a good while, and there was absolutely no way to get to a hospital. (Pretty much all first aid courses now are focused on learning how to figure out whether an injury requires medical attention, and how to stop the injury from getting worse until the medical attention gets there. You've got to take special "Wilderness First Aid" courses to learn stuff like how to wrap bandages and stuff like that.)
(where I believe I am the oldest person BY A MILE)
Yeah, but sexiest by a mile and half.
Huh. I thought you had to be in school to sign up for Facebook.
You've got to have a .edu email address. An alumni one is fine.
You've got to have a .edu email address
Apparently not--it says anyone can join.
Oy. But having done that, it doesn't seem I can join a McGill network without a McGill email address. Dude, I'm old. Where would I get one of those?
eta: Huh. I can register for one at McGill! How lovely and first world. Won't end in edu, though.
They asked me for my student ID number. I really wonder if what came to mind was it.
