Welcome to the MacNN Forums.

I've made a routine out of going for a morning swim at my local public swimming pool. A few weeks ago, I became good friends with the lifeguard there. I'm blessed and entirely fortunate to have met him, as you will soon find out...

I must have had a weird bout of something, because once I got into the pool and started treading out to deeper water, I became a little dizzy and light-headed. I don't normally feel this way, and I don't know what came over me, but I guess I sort of flopped over face down into the water for a while.

The next thing I do, I was being given C.P.R. by my new friend, who goes by The Internet on these forums. If it wasn't for him, I probably would be dead. I owe my life to him!

Please, let's take a moment to recognize the heroism of The Internet!

He asked me not to post this, because he didn't want to attract too much attention (he is sort of shy and doesn't like the attention), but I couldn't help myself. He really needs to be recognized.

Is this post serious?

That was an awesome kindness on the part of The Internet. A chance to use all his training and experience for a friend. I pray that you are alright besson3c, my friend.

"The Internet" ... David, is that you? God, I gotta call my mother - right now!

Is getting CPR from the Internet like getting kissed by Al Gore?

anyway, kudos to him! It's not often that someone really gets to make a difference in someone else's life. He should be commended for his quick thinking, and putting his training to good use. To him, he might just have been doing his job, and may not understand all the hoopla. But not everyone's job is a matter of life and death. He certainly saved one more life than I did at work that day....

How much do you weigh? What is your favorite color? Do you like Apples?

seanc · Nov 9, 2005, 02:03 PM

If he doesn't like Apples then why is he here?

No offense, but that is very naive of you. Haven't you been fooled before? He could be fooling us. Turtle777, if that is your real name, prove that you like apples.

I teach CPR on the side and it is a very important skill for everyone. Done correctly, a mask is used and there is no mouth to mouth contact. Anyone properly trained knows this.

But you can't get any jokes out of that.

I'm betting she doesn't.
And if she was that way inclined, she'd get an SVX. Everyone knows that SVXs are teh chick magnets.

I thought of that but I don't like the chicks the F-150 attracts- at least in NH.

Not only for his life saving effort, but because he picked a rocking cool name.

Plus, he can do whatever he wants here, with impunity....

I mean, what are they going to do, ban the Internet?

Cody Dawg · Nov 9, 2005, 11:00 PM

Yeah.

He's Teh Man...Teh Internet.

JoshuaZ · Nov 9, 2005, 11:22 PM

This internet? Ohhh I thought you were talking about the `other` internet. My bad.

I think The Internet should be made into an admin on this board.

He is fair, balanced, and his heroism is a model to us all. His willingness to be such an upstanding citizen and caring human being deserves some sort of reward and acknowledgment.

I think he is qualified to be a system administrator, forum moderator, or maybe CEO of MacNN.

The Internet · Nov 10, 2005, 03:09 AM

I think I can only say....

rally behind me MacNN members and I will love you all!

turtle777 · Nov 10, 2005, 11:13 AM
