Could you tell us a little about your family? I assume that you have one parent who is Melanesian. How old are you now? What did your parents do for work there? Now? Thanks. Looks like a cool life.

A few years ago, they showed a bare-breasted woman on a beach in France and people went crazy. She was white. Bare-breasted women have to look tribal. That is the unspoken rule.

Way to go NG!

This looks like the dream job to so many of us. So, I would like to know if it really is.

When you are at work, are you so grateful that you scored on the career jackpot, or do you ever wish you just got a normal job?

I think that Beanbonez is also telling the OP not to acquiesce in the face of death, but to fight it to the end.

Years ago, I had a 16 year old student who found out that he had leukemia. He gave into it right away. He felt bitter. He died within a year.

Try to fight it no matter what the prognosis. It may make a difference and it may not, but at least you went out fighting.

When I was taking first aid training two years ago, we looked at the law in detail. In Canada, where I live, Good Samaritan laws really only apply to people with no training. If you have any kind of training, you are held to that and can be found liable if you really screw up. You should be able to perform at the level of your typical peers (not the best of your peers). If you choose not to help when you could have, you can also be found liable.

The message is that you should help but you can't hide behind the law if you do something really stupid when you should have known better.
