Hello!

Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.

Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....

Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.

Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.

Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.

Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Mooing Tricycle	Sheffield MA Responds to Timber Rattlesnake Bite 22 Y/O Male Well just about Fifteen minutes ago a call went through the scanner for a male of 22 years of age, just bitten while hiking down a mountain by a Timber Rattlesnake. A light tourniquet was advised to be applied while the bite victim is transported to Bay state Medical Hospital for Treatment. It was reported that the hiker was walking down with emergency responders to wait for the ambulance. Hopefully this guy didnt get too serious a bite. And HOPEFULLY they wont/did not kill the snake. ( I did call in to let the responders know to NOT kill the animal, if possible, because they are not in high numbers around the area. ) What a way to start the Fourth of July huh? I Feel bad that its going to take him awhile to get to Bay State.
