Well, nice to meet you too Cracker. I'll have you know right now that yes I am overweight, but not obese--there is a difference. I also workout regularly and run an 11 minute mile...so while I'm no track star---I'm certainly not one that cant haul equipment or climb stairs. I've hauled more than my fair share of overweight and loud mouthed folks down a few flights of stairs. I can more than capably carry a stretcher up 4 flights of stairs fully loaded with equipment and a 300 lb patient with no help other than my partner. I have also lifted on many occasions, that same overloaded stretcher from a dead lift straight off the floor. I have also lowered a 200 lb man to the floor by myself....so before you start spouting off about something you obviously know nothing about....I suggest learn a bit more about the person your spewing your hatred on. As far as the Jesus comments, I make no apologies for having faith in God and trusting him. hes gotten me this far for 33 years and for that I am grateful. I hope for your sake you find him one day as well, because the way you speak and present yourself, you obviously don,t have him in your life. Thats all I'm saying on that matter....This isn't a "Church" forum. Let me leave you with one parting thought though----One of these days when you most need it, and the day will come---you will NOT care if your medic/FF/PD is overweight, gay, straight, hippie, male or female. The fact that that person will be the only one trying to restart your heart, hold your hand as you take your last breath, or breathe life into the body of the baby you hold so dear...your prejudices will be lost. If not, then you have alot more to worry about than me being an overweight female EMT.
