Amanda, I'm intrigued. Planned to share the link and found:
https://sparktoro.com/blog/... works
https://sparktoro.com/blog/... (without the slash) does not.

Why?

Please tell me this wasn't based on a real conversation with your Dad!

You scooped me; I hadn't seen this yet. Of my social media outlets, LinkedIn is the one I've yet to use as fully as I could. I'm intrigued, will check it out, and interested to know how you're using LI.

P.S. Just subscribed to your blog; really enjoyed your guest post at http://www.joehageonline.co... and you're welcome back any time.

Thanks for the post! You immediately inspired me to write, "Finding work using social media," at http://ht.ly/2ehsn

I'm not a big country music fan, but Paisano's post http://dadomatic.com/all-i-... says it all.

MarciaMarcia, we started @ZachHage and @LukeHage but their interest comes and wanes and with only 6 followers each, tweeting doesn't quite have the reach so I mention them on my account. We also gave them their own blog. They were VERY interested at first; not so much now.

I'll check out @clarkeconner!

Re: Talking Haiti, Death, Tragedy And Hope With A 6 Year Old

Joe Hage — Sat, 23 Jan 2010 15:25:46 -0000

Hi, Ian. My name is Joe. I am 43 and father to son Zachary.

I told Zachary the night it happened as he was ready to say his prayers. I told him many people died and he began to get watery-eyed. He told me to stop.

He personalizes a lot. Like your daughter, he was afraid that it could happen to us.

I go a step further than you do. I told him that it *could* happen to us, even though it is unlikely. Foolish or not, I want my kids to know I am always with them should I not return home one day. God forbid that should happen, I want them to be able to reflect on how tender I was about the subject so they *might* be able to cope with it better.

Stephen and others, thank you for doing what I don't have the time and resources to do myself.

Re: Dermott

Thank you both @sass and @kevin. "Joey is a Straight-A student" was enough to motivate me in grammar school. As a parent, I see there is so much more to those precious years than academic success.

P.S. If I could do college (NYU) over, I would have had more fun.

@kevin, do you think your best friend's sister might want to write a guest blog at http://cardiacscience.com/b... It's a great forum to educate others about cardiac arrest. Just this weekend I've had two parents give me reasons why they would not buy a defibrillator. A bit discouraging, I must admit.

Cute, Pai. Funny.

Re: A little love…

Great ideas, @Ian + @ChildTrustFund. @David, your comment about inspiration made me feel good.

What other ideas do lurking commenters have?

The 5yo was perfectly content watching WTWTA though.

7yo Zachary said, "I'm not enjoying this."

We left and watched "AstroBoy," which did not entertain this parent. The only time I laughed was when it sounded as though the protagonist cursed.

Beautiful video. I wish I knew how to shoot + edit one. It's on the list...

Jeff, I just started using Posterous. Do you prefer it because you like to keep the comments private?

Re: President Obama’s speech to our children … so what’s the controversy all about?

Joe Hage — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 15:58:57 -0000

@Dan, I don't typically post political commentary but I'm with you on this one: There should be no controversy. In terms of "how much more can we take of this," I don't believe it would be different under another administration. Partisanship seems to be part of "the game."

@NewOptimistClub, reminds me of two old sayings, "If it bleeds, it leads." Bloggers' lifeblood are readers. The second, "Gotta have a gimmick."

Re: A new school supply, the AED

Thank you, Heart System Advocate.

Do you belong to (or represent) a heart safety organization? If so, how does your group go about bringing awareness to your communities?

Re: A new school supply, the AED

Joe Hage — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 01:57:40 -0000

Frank, I see you're in North Carolina. You probably read that your State Representative Becky Carney was saved by an AED: http://www.cardiacscience.c...

Re: A new school supply, the AED

Joe Hage — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 00:59:11 -0000

Frank, thank you, and this is a good question.

I think the best way to fight city hall is to present them with a preponderance of facts. The law is on the side of companies that implement AED programs:

* The Cardiac Arrest Survival Act (Federal Law 106-505, signed by President Clinton in 2000) encourages placement of AED machines and provides AED users and acquirers with liability protection. Additionally, each state in the US has Good Samaritan laws that exempt from liability anyone who renders emergency treatment with a defibrillator to save someone's life.

* Because a victim of sudden cardiac arrest is without a pulse, he or she is, in effect, already dead. The only known way to restore the pulse, and the victim's life, is by using a defibrillator. That's why AED laws support and encourage the use of AEDs by lay responders.

* No company (or any entity) has ever been found at fault in a wrongful death suit involving an AED. In fact, with AEDs becoming common safety devices, organizations could be at risk for not having these devices on site. For example, http://www.sca-aware.org/fo...

If that doesn't work, show them what's happening in Maryland to this pool that failed to get a defibrillator: http://www.cardiacscience.c...

Another, and very effective, strategy is to work with public accessible defibrillation (PAD) programs in your area. San Diego Project Heartbeat has saved 62 people in San Diego so far: They are extraordinary advocates to have on your side. Parent Heart Watch http://www.parentheartwatch... is another.

Reach out to these organizations. They can make things happen. And you're welcome to reach out to me. Cardiac Science has the only dedicated direct sales force for defibrillators. Our team fights these battles every day.

Let us at 'em. ;-)

@Sparky Firepants, My prediction is it doesn't take nearly that long before the fallout at corporate.

I used to change my avatar frequently. I find that my followers have a favorite and, with my bright red background, it's easy to scan and find me.

Plus, I'm lazy. There. I've said it.

From your fellow Dad-o-Matter,
