Your on-line name suggests you are at least a Paramedic.........

Navigate until you see the photo you want to display. Right-click on it and copy the image address. Then, back here, in the message entry area, find and left-click on the photo icon - it looks like a mountain and cloud (I guess) on a yellow background. In the pop-up that appears, paste the image address you copied. Close the popup and the image link should appear in the message entry box. Repeat as needed to show all the photos you want to display.

Another ex-EMT here, from back before we had paramedics. I went on to be a hospital OR prep orderly, pre-med student, researcher, and epidemiologist. Never got into med school, and a difficult boss (who I thank God for now) blew me out of public health into teaching high school biology. Fast forward a couple of decades and I am a minor computer wizard for a Fortune 100 company and loving it now. Fascinating how we move careers, isn't it?

Thanks for the picture info ill keep that in mind. It is pretty fascinating how things work out, growing up all i could think about was working for the fire department up untill i was 22 and had a few years as a volunteer, i realized how much i dont like the way the fire departments work and operate nor do i like to see blood and guts. o'well atleast i know how to properly treat wounds. leaveing their i was able to get in the union Ironworkers structual steel. out of los angels for a couple years thanks to my pops and were i learned my fabrication skills. But Ironworkers are a dyeing breed thanks to the labor union. so its hvac for now on.

On a first and fast reading I thought you wrote, "...so it's havoc from now on."

I've felt like that, myself...

One of my first issues in dealing with bringing my rig home was the battery was draining overnight. luckly my dad use to wire rv's as a youngin so he quickly fiqured out my issue. Someone wired both baterry terminals together sos they were draining eachother. so my dad said i needed a battery isolator. $15 green backs later and some wireing. problem solved.
