THE VOLUNTEERS FOR THE STATE OF COLORADO NEED A MINIMUM OF 36 HOURS OF TRAINING PER YEAR SO THEY CAN COLLECT THEIR PENSION AFTER THEY DID THEIR TIME. SO ANY OTHER DEPT. TRAINING IS ADDED IN TO THE OVER ALL TRAINING THAT THEY DO.

Hey gang, what's going on?
ashfire Comment by ashfire on June 29, 2009 at 12:44pm
This mess with medications can be a problem with people and what their doctors are ready to give them. I had a doctor give me a prescription to help me with my sinus problem and ended up with high blood pressure.
My mother never feels right with her medications and always ready to call her doctor to complain that they are making her sick
