You gave her CPR?

Wait a second.

I'm sorry, but as a former EMT I'm really confused.

CPR is as serious as it gets. But you never mentioned it in your initial story.

You only give CPR to someone whose heart has stopped. People whose hearts have stopped are unconscious. I didn't get the impression from your story that the girl was essentially dead and you revived her.

I'm really really confused. Can you clarify?

I read that post and was waiting for the punch line.

My brother, his wife, their daughter and I go to dinner at Olive Garden.

Manager: How's everything?

Little girl: My grandpa's house burned down.

(Manager returns with receipt for free meal)

Manager: And where is your grandpa?

Me: Oh hell, he died in like...'97. We sold that house the next year.

I don't know where you live, but one of the most amazing trips I've taken was to the Yucatan peninsula of Mexico. Flights to Cancun are very cheap. Grab a rental car and head inland, AWAY from the coastal resorts. The interior is almost like a giant "Indian reservation" in the US.

The people are Mayan, more than Mexican. Many still speak the language. It's full of the most amazing ruins and pyramids in the western world.

Gorgeous old colonial towns: Merida, Valladolid, Campeche. You can drive something called "the Puuc route" that takes you deep into the back country and stops at all the beautiful and lesser known monuments, pyramids, and entire towns from the Mayan era. Cheap trip - absolutely awesome.

THE SLITS!

They were just SO GOOD!

Next to you all, of course.
