In old Norse, men didn’t say “I love you”, they would say “Þú getur lyft hammanum mínum hvenær sem er, ef þú veist hvað ég meina”, which loosely translates into “You are my Valkyrie, and I would follow you across the nine realms and into eternity”, and I think that’s beautiful.

Some profound statements...........
Great Truths 1. In my many years I have come to a conclusion that one useless man is a shame, two is a law firm and three or more is a congress. John Adams 2. If you don’t read the newspaper you are uninformed, if you do read the newspaper you are misinformed. Mark Twain 3. Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But then I repeat myself. Mark Twain 4. I contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle. Winston Churchill 5. A government which robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul. George Bernard Shaw 6. A liberal is someone who feels a great debt to his fellow man, which debt he proposes to pay off with your money. G. Gordon Liddy 7. Democracy must be something more than two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner. James Bovard, Civil Libertarian (1994) 8. Foreign aid might be defined as a transfer of money from poor people in rich countries to rich people in poor countries. Douglas Casey, Classmate of Bill Clinton at Georgetown University 9. Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys. P.J. O'Rourke, Civil Libertarian 10. Government is the great fiction, through which everybody endeavors to live at the expense of everybody else. Frederic Bastiat, French economist(1801-1850) 11. Government’s view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it. Ronald Reagan (1986) 12. I don’t make jokes. I just watch the government and report the facts. Will Rogers 13. If you think health care is expensive now, wait until you see what it costs when it’s free! P.J. O'Rourke 14. In general, the art of government consists of taking as much money as possible from one party of the citizens to give to the other. Voltaire (1764) 15. Just because you do not take an interest in politics doesn’t mean politics won’t take an interest in you! Pericles (430 B.C.) 16. No man’s life, liberty, or property is safe while the legislature is in session. Mark Twain (1866) 17. Talk is cheap…except when Congress does it. Anonymous 18. The government is like a baby’s alimentary canal, with a happy appetite at one end and no responsibility at the other. Ronald Reagan 19. The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of the blessings. The inherent blessing of socialism is the equal sharing of misery. Winston Churchill 20. The only difference between a tax man and a taxidermist is that the taxidermist leaves the skin. Mark Twain 21. The ultimate result of shielding men from the effects of folly is to fill the world with fools. Herbert Spencer, English Philosopher (1820-1903) 22. There is no distinctly Native American criminal class…save Congress. Mark Twain 23. What this country needs are more unemployed politicians. Edward Langley, Artist (1928-1995) 24. A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take everything you have. Thomas Jefferson 25. We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office. Aesop FIVE BEST SENTENCES 1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity, by legislating the wealth out of prosperity. 2. What one person receives without working for…another person must work for without receiving. 3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. 4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it. 5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work, because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work, because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that is the beginning of the end of any nation!

LIFE LESSONS FROM AN 80 YEAR OLD MAN.
1. Have a firm handshake.
2. Look people in the eye.
3. Sing in the shower.
4. Own a great stereo system.
5. If in a fight, hit first and hit hard.
6. Keep secrets.
7. Never give up on anybody. Miracles happen everyday.
8. Always accept an outstretched hand.
9. Be brave. Even if you’re not, pretend to be. No one can tell the difference.
10. Whistle.
11. Avoid sarcastic remarks.
12. Choose your life’s mate carefully. From this one decision will come 90% of all your happiness and misery.
13. Make it a habit to do nice things for people who will never find out.
14. Lend only those books you never care to see again.
15. Never deprive someone of hope; it might be all they have.
16. When playing games with children, let them win more than you.
17. Give people a second chance, but not a third.
18. Be romantic.
19. Become the most positive and enthusiastic person you know.
20. Loosen up. Relax. Except for rare life-and-death matters, nothing is as important as it first seems.
21. Don’t allow the phone to interrupt important moments. It’s there for our convenience, not the caller’s.
22. Be a good loser.
23. Be a good winner.
24. Think twice before burdening a friend with a secret.
25. When someone hugs you, let them be the first to let go.
26. Be modest. A lot was accomplished before you were born.
27. Keep it simple.
28. Beware of the person who has nothing to lose.
29. Be careful when burning bridges. You’ll be surprised how many times you have to cross the same river. But remember that it is sometimes better to swim.
30. Live your life so that your epitaph could read: No regrets.
31. Be bold and courageous. When you look back on life, you’ll regret the things you didn’t do more than the ones you did.
32. Never waste an opportunity to tell someone you love them.
33. Remember that no one makes it alone. Have a grateful heart and be quick to acknowledge those who helped you.
34. Take charge of your attitude. Don’t let someone else choose it for you.
35. Visit friends and relatives when they are in the hospital; you only need to stay a few minutes.
36. Begin each day with some of your favorite music.
37. Once in a while, take the scenic route.
38. Send a lot of Valentine cards. Sign them, ‘Someone who thinks you’re terrific.’
39. Answer the phone with enthusiasm and energy in your voice.
40. Keep a notepad and pencil on your bedside table. Million-dollar ideas sometimes strike at 3 a.m.
41. Show respect for everyone who works for a living, regardless of how trivial their job.
42. Send your loved ones flowers. Think of a reason later.
43. Make someone’s day by paying the toll for the person in the car behind you.
44. Become someone’s hero.
45. Marry only for love.
46. Count your blessings.
47. Compliment the meal when you’re a guest in someone’s home.
48. Wave at the children on a school bus.
49. Remember that 80% of the success in any job is based on your ability to deal with people.
50. Don’t expect life to be fair.

#SHTF Sutures

Nurse Prepper
Subject: Suturing: Question/Answer Q: If you have to perform sutures on a wound is there something over the counter to number the wound site or does the patient just have to bite the bullet? I’m excited EMT trying to put stuff together and wanted your input. Keep up the good work! Shout Out & Thank You to “KJeff” A: Over-the-counter supplies are available, and inexpensive. If you already have a sewing kit, that can double nicely for emergencies. Your favorite sporting goods store or drug store may also have your supplies (sold separately) i.e., hemostats, gut or nylon sutures, etc..

Just remember these key basic steps: - Observe the wound and determine the best way to close it. - Put gloves on to minimize potential infection. - Clean and irrigate the wound, removing any foreign matter or debris. - Thread the curved needle, or open your suture kit and grasp the needle with your needle driver.


*** Below I have listed several links that may help you with suture supply lists and video for techniques when administering sutures.
