  1. Been using a Garmin watch exclusively for about 7 years, currently use the Fenix 6x.  Cant compare them to the Apple lineup because the only Apple Watch I've ever used is the original long ago.  I personally dont want to talk or text from my phone, I can see enough of the text on the Garmin to know if I need to stop what Im doing and grab my phone.  All personal preference.  I chose Garmin because I'm a triathlete and ultra runner so I love the long battery life and I'm a data geek when it comes to all the workout data I can get from the Garmin.

  2. Another reason to go CAT is that a larger percentage of people know how to use them.  I'm a SWAT medic and while our guys are free to set their kits up however they want for the most part I want their blow out kits pretty much universal.  One guy kept putting his old RATS in his.  Finally convinced him that he wants every guy on the team to know how to save him quickly and not have to figure out some different device.

  3. This is the exact gun i have been looking for for months.  I'm in Chattanooga which is over 3 hours away.  If you dont sell and have any plans on getting closer to this direction Im interested.

  4. That's a pretty good set up for the layman to have.  No need having a bunch of stuff you don't how to use.  Depending on what your/your wife's medical history is might add a small medicine pouch.  Baby aspirin for chest pain, benadryl for mild allergic reactions.  Maybe a Sawyer extractor for snake bites or insect stings.  Bottle or spray can of wound wash.  I'm an RN/medic so I carry way too much stuff in my truck but you have a great kit.

    A definite consideration, as noted by someone earlier too.

    On another note, we were thinking to look around Ooltewah in our property (back in the '70s, that was mostly rural area) but quickly found that everyone is moving there and it seems like, as someone said, "the Marietta of Chattanooga" (with Marietta being now just a suburb of Atlanta).

    When i moved here 13 years ago I thought we were in the middle of nowhere.  Now it's max density cookie cutter neighborhoods everywhere.  Luckily I live on top of White Oak Mtn so I have a buffer.

  6. Been on a well for 13 years.  We love our water.  We have a Kinetico system that has worked well.  Yes it takes more personal effort than having city water but its pretty much on autopilot.  I havent read all of the comments but one thing to consider is that when the power is out so is your water.  That has been our biggest issue over the years. living in tornado ally.  We put in a Generac whole house generator last year so that problem is solved but definitely something to consider.

  7. I'm thankful for the family reboot that is happening.  My 21 y/o daughter is home from college.  My 14&16 y/o son's lives were so busy with school and sports but now we are all at home spending time together, time that I never thought would happen again.  Yes the current world situation sucks but hearing my 3 almost grown kids laughing and having fun together is pretty nice.

    Probably a dumb ?, but WHO has the license?  The nurse or the hospital.  The nurse is the one that spent hours and hours in school to learn/know almost as much, if not more than a doctor as that is their desire to do.  How can a hospital yank a nurse's license.  Bad referral for being a bad employee I see that, but what I read above seems a bit far fetched to me, but that's why I'm asking.  

    It wouldn’t be the nurse’s employer.  The fear is that the state or federal government would make the threat.

  9. I'm a registered nurse but not currently working in a clinical setting but always keep my license active.  I've considered going to my old hospital and at least being put on some sort of list to call back if needed but as previously stated, the hospitals are half full and staff being sent home because of nothing for them to do.  I read these articles about the governors of NY and NJ wanting the government to "draft" medical professionals and force them to come up there to help.  Well that is some 💩.  If the time and need arises I'll throw my scrubs back on and help out my community but they can have my license before I head to NY regardless of what the pay is.
