    A little more than 1.5 years ago I had a herniated disc block a nerve going down my leg causing drop foot among a few other things. Today was the first time i've been able to skate in a game since then. Some nerve damage is still present and will probably always be there but got through the skate and felt pretty good albeit slow.

    Also, I just bought him his first pair of Junior skates. Went from paying $150 for the last year's top of the line to paying $250 for last year's top of the line. Custom VHs is a much more substantial investment, epecially when he likes what he's in. When I considered Makos for him, it was the M8 option. Heck, does VH even have a junior skate? It would be a tough pill to swallow to shell out $800 for a skate that might only be used for 1 yr or less.

    My son is in his last pair of junior sized skates. The last 2 years he's got great deals on higher model current year Vapors. I've already had to tell him that from now on the skate budget is $350/year. He can either get a previous year skate on sale or pay the difference himself if he wants the latest and greatest.

    I'm not a firefighter - I work for a private ambulance company. The company does have people, but I actually have a therapist of my own anyway, and I do feel better much better today after hashing it out with him. I know I did the best CPR I could (the medics, my FTO and the ER staff all told me this).

    Mainly, it's just a new situation that I have no frame of reference for, and I'm trying to take stock of it so I have a context next time I work a code. I am eager to work again (Tuesday), not worried about that.

    I've been a full-time firefighter/emt for a decade in an area that has a very high rate of fatalities. Find your way to get the stress out. Everyone is different but it has to get out. Wait until you deliver a baby, it will make you forget about the 100's of dead people you are going to run into in this line of work. It's a pretty cool thing to see life come into the world as opposed to leaving it.

    I've booked my appointment for the end of July. I will be going in for multiple sessions to begin my maritime themed sleeve tattoo. The planning is for the most part going to be left up to the artist. I know there are a few things I would like to incorperate but I am not too picky and know the guy does great work and has a great imagination. My only question is color or no color?

    Anyone have a colored sleeve and if so, what can I expect for fading? Is it worth it or should I just go with traditional coloring?

    A lot will depend on your skin. Some skin will take colour well, some won't. Fading won't be a big issue if you don't tan and always wear sunscreen.

    Was thinking about it for awhile but finally just went out and bought my first motorcycle. It's an 07 Harley Davidson sportster 1200 in black cherry with 6000km on it. Got a pretty good price on it, sold my dirtbike to pay the rest of it off so I also don't need to make any payments on it. Now for the snow to go away...

    I was going to get a bigger bike but I ended up just going with a sportster due to their smaller size. When I get a bit more experiance I will probably go and buy a new Dyna or something.

    Nice bike. My first bike was a Dyna and had no problem getting used to it. I feel your pain on the snow. Northern Alberta has a ton. I was in southern Alberta last week and saw lots of guys out on bikes already.
