Grannyg | Friday, February 28, 2003 - 08:57 am     War, Our local EMT's come to school every year and teach CPR to those who have never had any training or to any of us who feel we need a refresher course. There is no charge for this. Our EMT's do it as a community service!! So all of our teachers know how to do CPR. |
Myjohnhenry | Friday, February 28, 2003 - 09:09 am     In some states or school districts it is mandatory for teachers to have a current first aid card. |
Wargod | Friday, February 28, 2003 - 09:21 am     I never even thought to ask here. I assumed that if you needed them working in a retirement home, different than a nursing home, teachers would need them. Now, ya'll got me wondering about my state, so I'm going to have to ask! I never paid for mine. Since there was a group of us at work who got them at the same time, we had someone come into our facility to train us. We even got paid for sitting there, LOL. Of course, we weren't allowed to use anything we learned, but it was mandatory to have it. Fire department was a three minute ride away, so we had to wait for them. If they asked for help (which they did occassionally) we would give it, but most the time they took care of everything. |
Lumbele | Friday, February 28, 2003 - 09:22 am     War, before I could take my exam for my driver's license (many moons ago in Germany) I had to proof that I had taken a First Aid course. Squeezing that in with all my classes wasn't convenient at the time and I was too young to truly appreciate the necessity, but now I wish more countries would have that requirement. |
Christina | Friday, February 28, 2003 - 09:52 am     I am in Ont. Canada. Not sure if it is the whole province or just my district. It is an option for teachers to get these classes. I think on there own time. |
Conejo | Friday, February 28, 2003 - 10:53 am     Right now I just posted in the Robert Blake thread that they should have a reality show staring Robert Blake and Michael Jackson. |
Kady | Friday, February 28, 2003 - 12:08 pm     Right now....I just slapped myself silly cause I almost posted in one of the political threads. |
Marej | Friday, February 28, 2003 - 12:30 pm     Right now..I really do not know what deep cleansing by the dentist is. Maybe my brain is fried because I am addicted to "I'm a celebrity, get me out of here." (Vote for Cris.) |
Conejo | Friday, February 28, 2003 - 12:43 pm     Right now I can't wait to get out of here (work)! Marej, voted 5 times for Cris & Julie last night! |
Pamy | Friday, February 28, 2003 - 07:26 pm     Right now I am thinking 12 puppies are too many to foster at one time!!! Just when you are about to get the 12th one settled down the 1st one you got settled an hour earlier is ready to get up and play and then the whole cycle begins again!! |
Egbok | Friday, February 28, 2003 - 11:20 pm     Right now, I just got home from seeing a high school play - "Little Shop of Horrors". I was very surprised at how much I enjoyed it! Some of those teeny-boppers could sing! Afterwards, my hubby took me out to eat, which is a challenge being on Weight Watchers...but I did good and even liked the food I ate. |

Hermione69 | Monday, March 03, 2003 - 04:37 pm     Right now I am arguing with myself about whether I really need to go to the grocery store or not. (I do. ) |
Sunnyone | Monday, March 03, 2003 - 06:28 pm     Right now i'm trying to figure out why i'm so anxious ..hoping it's not the Tough Love i had to dish out this weekend but figuring it probably is, and hoping i can find SOMETHING to take my mind off things for a bit. |
Bigd | Monday, March 03, 2003 - 08:32 pm     {{{{Sunnyone}}}}} - I know how hard Tough Love is. And a very lonesome place to be. |
Egbok | Monday, March 03, 2003 - 10:04 pm     Right now I'm sending positive vibes to Sunnyone to stick to her Tough Love decision. It's so hard to do but WOW! it sure pays off in the long run. Stay strong Sunnyone!! |
Hunter | Monday, March 03, 2003 - 10:15 pm     Right now... I am sitting alone in a darkened room, joined by my fingertips with complete stangers. People seeking friendship, understanding, respect or love. Its a comfortable place to be. |
Kady | Monday, March 03, 2003 - 10:25 pm     Right now...I just read Hunter's quote in his profile. It is very beautiful. |
Cyn | Monday, March 03, 2003 - 11:15 pm     right now Ali G's on hbo - tune it in if you wanna hear the hard questions asked - Peace and Smiles and Love. |
Sunnyone | Tuesday, March 04, 2003 - 02:06 am     Thanks Bigd and Egbot....it is a hard thing to do. I know it's the RIGHT thing, but, you're right Bigd...it is a very lonesome place. |
Suitsmefine | Tuesday, March 04, 2003 - 03:50 am     Right now I am sending out a big "WELCOME TO THE FAMILY" to Hunter...It was so nice to come into this thread and read such a positive post, after being crazy and going into the political threads. |
Ddr1135 | Tuesday, March 04, 2003 - 04:25 am     Right now, I'm trying to stay away from doing any work because it's Mardi Gras and I'm off. Welcome to Hunter!!! |
Twinkie | Tuesday, March 04, 2003 - 04:41 am     Hunter, I love your quote in your profile! Welcome to the family! |
Sweetbabygirl | Tuesday, March 04, 2003 - 04:55 am     Right now, I'm watching the end of Pulp Fiction and getting ready to prepare for my interview today....I'm nervous as hell, but Samuel L. Jackson is giving me back my spunk. |
