    We had a man who suffered a massive MI, by the time he was life flighted to the Arkansas heart hospital approximately 60% of his heart muscle was dead. Jelly. What was left of it after 3 weeks of critical care above ICU etc sent him home.

    How bad was his heart then? Well, I witnessed he had one smoke after a 10 minute walk back to his house. He leaned on the doorframe for 20 minutes breathing using his accessory muscles (Lower ribcage) until he pumped enough blood to oxygenate his mind and body enough to walk into the house. 6 simple steps. He couldnt do it.

    A week after that a massive second MI toppled him like a tree. He was dead before hitting the deck. It should have killed him the first time seeing all that expertise and care for a month was a lost cause for him.

    If you did suffer in your sleep your dreams will essentially fragment in about the last 50 seconds of useful awake time before you grey out. Death is not far behind. After death it will take about 3 minutes for your brain waves to turn off like a light. At that point it's too brain damaged and no good to you or anyone. Thats that.

    Which is why you make a living will and DNR so that stupid ER doctors do not run and resusticate you back to life as a living vegatable to be fed and watered like a plant incapable of being alive. What you were and everything you were is gone. Dead. Now we need a court order to pull life support. You are already dead. But alive in body that has no use to you.

    Health and enjoyment of living day and night from birth to your grave is the very best you can do. At some point you must die. The lucky ones don't see it coming. The stubborn ones fight, scratch and scream But it kills them eventually all the same. My neighbor was a stubborn one. It just killed him much harder the second time.

    I have a feeling the entire Qualcomm is bricked across the Nation right now.

    I just cannot prove it.

    Mtn Dew is a pepsico product and Monster is like 50 percent or more owned by Coca Cola.
    They tend to not mix well

    I'd just go paper logs until your Safety Department can straighten it out.
    Anything with DOT. They will understand you on paper till it gets straightened out.
    I've done it. No problem.
    We don't exist for the Log. The Log exists for us.
     
    D.Tibbitt, thelushlarry, Rocks and 3 others Thank this.

    Oatmeal as we understand it today say from Quaker oats were sold by the barrel with like 10 cents a scoop for animal feed about 1890 or so. It was not too common for breakfast food like today. It took us around a hundred years or so to evolve I guess.

    If you rebranded anything a certain way and get someone to try it... and maybe like it enough to buy it again...
