Have a friend who works for metro Gov. She is looking forward to the overtime tax exemption. Since what low level employees are paid is public information here is how the new exemption helps her. Last year she was paying $10,100. Under the new plan, just $6,200. That’s a $4k pay hike #BBB image

#EMSLife Call the Ambulance because who else is going to come to a public restroom in a park because you pooped your pants Then get mad because the ambulance does not have spare cloths, and threaten the crew for not stopping at your home on the way to the hospital

Am sad to hear the Jim Shooter has passed. I had the privilege of being a runner for him at several appearances in Ithaca NY in the 80’s and 90’s. Always enjoyed it. He was a funny, happy guest. Loved his work and had great talks with him. He always remembered me when I would see him at shows.

#finance people will tell you all sort of “tips” on money and investing
I was given one tip a long time ago: own what you use or work for
So over the last 38 years it mostly worked for me (Even k-mart)
When I got out of the army and settled I started buying my utilities stock. I use it after all
last week they paid the semi annual dividend and it was more than that months bill
Every month my investment money ($55 a paycheck) gets divided among stocks
I’m resisting focusing on just it to x12 it

You were promised the Big Beautiful Bill would do these things but it does NOT: ❌ Prohibit welfare for illegal aliens ❌ Stop funding sex changes for kids ❌ End registration of suppressors ❌ Defund planned parenthood 10 yrs ❌ Implement REINS Act ❌ Reduce the deficit Thomas Massie

Happy day. I bought stock in the utility company that I use. This week they announced their dividend payment. I’m getting one months of electric cost in dividend payment. Guess I need to 12x my holdings. #Money #Dividens

Well I’m happy! Just paid off a monthly bill of $90. This will be $60 directed at the next debt, and $30 to my daily sat buy. As @Jack Spirko says DCA is the way #dca365

Turned down for my services Honor Guard group. 22+ years in the army, drill sergeant for 3 years, and served on over 50 funeral details in that time. I lack marching band experience and “we don’t do things like the army”. Yeah, I’ve seen what you do, which is why I applied.

I’m getting old! I asked my under 22 partner for a patient history and as they rambled I stopped him and said “just give me the cliff notes version” I got the confused puppy head tilt look and he said “what’s cliff notes?”

If you think Taco Bell is a post location, you might be an EMT If you have walked into a house and with one sniff diagnosed the medical problem, you might be an EMT If you know half the panhandlers by name and medical problems, you might be an EMT #EMTWeek image

Stake n Shake jumped in stock price so much because it did a 20 to 1 reverse split (for every 20 shares you had, you got 1 new share) a lot like how nations with fiat hyper inflated money try to fix the problem, shift the Decimal point a few steps to the left in peoples bank accounts.

Saw some signs at the ED and a table with 12 hour old pizza last night. (Because EMS only comes the the ED between 1130 and 1300 apparently) #EMSweek image

Highest call volume. Largest population cared for. Most forced overtime. Second lowest pay in the county. (But highest in collected billing rates) image
