My company doesn't have a live-in program, but I know that a company up near Thiel College does. I don't remember the name of it, but call around up there. Sorry, but that's the best suggestion I have for you.

How do you get people to look at themselves and realize all the problems they complain about are being caused (mostly) by them? It's frustrating when people cannot see there own limitations, Oh and anyone who knows me personally who thinks i am talking about them specifically you need to ge over yourselves and maybe take something from his blog and look in the mirror and evaluate where you are heading... sorry if i have offended anyone just needed to get this out.

Welcome to this big family where no matter what race, creed, age, social status, language, to save lives, so many of us as we are most fortunate to have this wonderful gift of being able to save lives, I am a paramedic Mexican, I have more 25 years dedicated to saving lives, and never do it by interest, not because I'm so Alagoas, by making love to my colleagues, I hope not to give anything to change what I do, if I may give thanks I accept with pleasure, and if I can not help the fact that it is more motivating
helped me feel satisfied.
I prepared a lot through all these years to be a true professional in the medical emergency, and now I enjoy sharing my knowledge to those just starting in this beautiful profession.
never otherwise have friends all over the world who speak this language to save lives, that there are good people who always cares about helping those who are in misery.
more important what has happened to me in this site and may God bless those who had the wonderful ingenious of this site is to meet people with the same purpose as myself, to share information, see the next generation to start saving lives.
never cease to strive to be better in the environment will continue to prepare for emergencies and will continue to meet people like you to exchange information, and meet wonderful people like you, you are now an important part in my friends list, that if you like to add as a friend, but above all you go ahead on this as a professional in emergencies.
I do not have friends looking for them, or add you on my list for being a woman, I look for people who really are interested in wanting to share with me a bit of friendship no matter the language we have, religion, race or nationality, it important is friendship.

God enlighten you in everything you do and where you are in emergency services will look after and protect always the best wishes for your friend now Mexico.

Greetings from Mexico.
you’re new friend Filiberto.
excuse my bad English but I do it gladly
