About to start...

LOL. I try to keep a reign on the snacks, too, but they find them. An I can rarely let my husband go grocery shopping with me. He goes over my budget buying Froot Loops and junk I never buy. Last time he went I said, "That's it...you can't come with me ANYMORE".

The kids love it when HE goes grocery shopping by himself.:)

Moose on now...

[still lurking]

Does this mean you need a really good husband if you don't drink?

[MTCJK]

Received message from sniper, responding soon

[Howlin]

We have two major points and will not be in a position to take any questions.

WE have recieved a communication; we will be responding soon.

Great deal of speculation about threats in a previous message; all of our citiznes are at risk. Perosn has demonstarted a willingness to shoot all ages, all kinds, days, etc.

They're going to provide the message.

"YOu're children are not safe, anywhere, at any time!"

Does anyone know what the time lapse is between LE and EMT's arriving on the scene and how soon they are able to transport the victim to the hospital?

Well, this is from my friends and not direct experience. If the 911 call indicates a shooting and no further information is available, then the paramedics/EMTs will wait a block or so away until the police show up to secure the scene. Yes, this means the victim is lying there untreated for a few minutes, but dead rescuers don't help anyone.

On the other hand, as long as the paramedics get to the patient while he's still alive, then there's a very good chance the patient will make it into surgery. The key is getting the patient into surgery within an hour of the injury - long term survival rates drop way down if that doesn't happen. This is why medical helicopters are so useful, especially in rural areas.

With gunshot wounds, the biggest problem is blood loss. The bleeding needs to be stopped and circulatory volume made up, so that there's fluid to pump and carry oxygen until the surgeons can close the wounds to the circulatory system.

"YOUR CHILDREN ARE NOT SAFE ANYWHERE AT ANYTIME"

I would find this a joke if it were not so serious.

[LisaFab]

Moose: We have received a communication and will respond soon.

Previous threat received: "Your children are not safe anywhere, anytime."

[MTCJK]

ITs terrorists "WE will strike anyone anywhere anytime"

[Howlin]

That was the threat; not releasing the rest of the message.

That P.S. has been shared with the proper people.

Here we go again. If they fudge this one up, does that mean we'll see more shootings in the morning? This is not good.

[Brad’s Gramma]

That was SAID?????

[valleygal]

HA! I was thinking more of Doug and Dez (last season) but yea, Hildy can get weird.

Please tell me your wife watches that show!LOL

[hispanarepublicana]

received a message. response soon. re: speculation about threat in previous message--will provide exact language.

"your children are not safe anywhere at anytime."

[lizma]

Children not safe anywhere, anytime. Oh God.

[txhurl]

We need to observe with all six senses because this one will have the clue or confirmation we're missing.

[Dog]

"P.S......your children are not safe anytime ...anywhere.."

OMG!

[Howlin]

This is insane.

I guess he released it to SHUT UP the media!
