HOT CAR WARNINGS! Posted: 7/17/2008 6:46:16 AM
With summer upon us...PLEASE, PLEASE TAKE YOUR CHILDREN IN WITH YOU AND LEAVE PETS AT HOME!! Some people think its ok to leave a child or a pet in the car with the AC running... I can assure you its not... to many children go missing every year, kids and pets can put the car in gear causing an accident... and cars do catch fire.... So for the safety of your Children and Pets.... take them inside or home before ever leaving them in the car unattended for any length of time.... Stay safe this summer!!! Traci

Whose life.....have You made a difference in ??????? Posted: 7/16/2008 7:52:50 PM
I have taken in several children that were kicked out of their homes, I'm a volunteer firefighter/emt, so I choose to work from home so that I'm available for my community during the day when most others are working. I participate with community events for fund raising such as relay for life. I smile at a stranger hoping to bring a little sunshine to someones day. I send parcels overseas to our men and women in Iraq. I've taken in animals that had no place to go and found them homes. I teach fire safety and awareness to children, businesses, schools and parents with hopes that they will get out before its to late...

I've dated men that ranged from skinny to obese... If I had to choose a physical preference it would be thick to heavy set... cuddles and hugs are amazing.... Its just my personal preference...

Why do so many people seem to hate cops? Posted: 6/23/2008 9:12:42 PM
Such a shame so many of you dislike the PD.... because their job is to help keep the streets and the public safe.... When your pulled over you wonder why they are always watching you and why there are always so many officers on the streets... but...when its your family memeber hit by a drunk driver or shot, you will be asking why didn't you catch them, why weren't you there earlier and why were there not more officers available to help... I work closely with my local PD and I'm greatful they are there. The help keep the streets safe, our accident scenes safe, they also help keep us safe when we have to tend to people with gun shots wounds.... There is alot more to the PD then you all realize... they are good men and women just trying to make a difference.... I for one am greatful they are there!

Cops and FireFighters Posted: 3/18/2008 7:17:30 AM
Hello Jeanie... My Sister of Flame!! You are correct, they don't take in account for all the hazards short term or long term. FYI: to our insurance quoting friend.... Our training is never ending, we are always in classes to learn, more then just putting out fire. Building construction, electrical, haz-mat, chemical warfare, medical training, drivers training, safety training.... just to mention a few. Each situation, rescue, fire, car accident, medical call etc etc etc... every time we respond its always different. On average a Firefighter dies every 72 hours. Thats just line of duty deaths, that doesn't include any of the long term diseases we get from doing our job. I'm sure its not nationally known either that only 15% of the fire departments (in the US) are paid career departments, the rest are part time, paid per call, or volunteer. Volunteer departments have to depend a great deal on grants and donations from their community and other departments for equipment due to the lack of funding. Even with poor equipment or not enough equipment we will still be there, and do our best, even if it means our life. I love what I do!! I'm honored to be a firefighter/ emt... **Dad... thank you for inspiring me to do what was in my heart! Stay safe everyone...

I WISH YOU COULD Posted: 11/7/2007 4:35:40 AM
I wish you could see the sadness of a business man as his livelihood goes up in flames or that family returning home, only to find their house and belongings damaged or destroyed. I wish you could know what it is to search a burning bedroom for trapped children, flames rolling above your head, your palms and knees burning as you crawl, the floor sagging under your weight as the kitchen beneath you burns. I wish you could comprehend a wife's horror at 3 a.m. as I check her husband of forty years for a pulse and find none. I start CPR anyway, hoping against hope to bring him back, knowing intuitively it is too late. But wanting his wife and family to know everything possible was done. I wish you knew the unique smell of burning insulation, the taste of soot-filled mucus, the feeling of intense heat through your turnout gear, the sound of flames crackling, the erieness of being able to see absolutely nothing in dense smoke - sensations that I have become too familiar with. I wish you could understand how it feels to go to school in the morning after having spent most of the night hot and soaking wet at a multiple alarm fire. I wish you could read my mind as I respond to a building fire, "Is this a false alarm or a working breathing fire? How is the building constructed? What hazards await me? Is anyone trapped?" Or to an EMS call, "What is wrong with the patient? Is it minor or life-treating? Is the caller really in distress or is he waiting for us with a 2x4 or a gun?" I wish you could be in the emergency room as a doctor pronounces dead the beautiful little 5 year old girl that I have been trying to save during the past twenty-five minutes who will never go on her first date or say the words, "I love you, Mommy" again. I wish you could know the frustration I feel in the cab engine, the driver with his foot pressing down hard on the pedal, my arm tugging again and again at the air horn chain, as you fail to yield right-of-way at an intersection or in traffic. When you need us, however, your first comment upon our arrival will be, "It took your forever to get here!" I wish you could know my thoughts as I help extricate a girl of teenage years from the mangled remains of her automobile, "What if this were my sister, my girlfriend, or a friend? What were her parents' reactions going to be as they opened the door to find a police officer, hat in hand?" I wish you could know how it feels to walk in the back door and greet my parents and family, not having the heart to tell them that I nearly did not come back from the last call. Iwish you could feel my hurt as people verbally, and sometimes physically, abuse us or belittle what I do, or as they express their attitudes of, "It will never happen to me." I wish you could know the physical, emotional and mental drain or missed meals, lost sleep and forgone social activities, in addition to all the tragedy my eyes have viewed. I wish you could know the brotherhood and self-satisfaction of helping save a life or preserving someone's property, or being there in times of crisis, or creating order from total chaos. I wish you could understand what it feels like to have a little boy tugging at your arm and asking, "Is my Mommy okay?" Not even being able to look in his eyes without tears from your own and not knowing what to say. Or to have to hold back a long-time friend who watches his buddy having rescue breathing done on him as they take him away in the ambulance. You know all along he did not have his seat belt on- a sensation that I have become too familiar with. Unless you have lived this kind of life, you will never truly understand or appreciate who I am, what we are, or what our job really mean to us. I wish you could... Author Unknown

How many single dads actually take care of there kids.. Posted: 8/11/2007 10:10:54 AM
It wonderful to see so many Dad's taking an active roll in their childrens lives. You all are respected greatly. Being a single parent isn't easy. Very well done in deed!! My kids went without their Father, for the majority of their lives despite my efforts to keep him in contact with them. I figured if he wanted to walk in and out repeatedly, that was up to him, but I wasn't going to ever keep my kids from him. No matter what took place between the two of us he was still their Father. As they got older and realized I was the one making the efforts on his part, at that point left the relationship up to him and in the long run he distroyed it.

Women abusing the term single Posted: 7/29/2007 6:44:59 PM
This girl is seeing someone but going to bars and telling guys that she is single, and you don't see anything wrong with that? That speaks volumes about your character. KUDOS.... that is correct. In my younger days when I was a teenager I dated two guys, the first guy thought we were going to only date eachother, the second one knew about the first. I ended up hurting someone not meaning to, but none the less this person was hurt and it was my fault. I felt just awful for what I had done, I caused someone heartache. I woke up the next morning and I didn't like who I was or what I had done. It was a hard but great lesson for me, a deciding factor in who I was going to be in this life and what kind of relationships I would welcome. I would never tell someone I'm single if I were seeing/dating someone... never... its just wrong...

Would you leave? Posted: 7/29/2007 10:55:18 AM
NO! 9 is way to young to take on that kind of responsibility. I didn't go to alot of events when my children were younger, because things happen. In order to leave another child in charge they have to have knowledge of what to do in an emergency. Some states give a certain age limit to be left alone, and anything below that age is considered child neglect.

The drug thing. Posted: 7/28/2007 9:15:30 PM
If you recall what I wrote I said that poster was no longer here. In no way did I refer to you. What you choose to do is your choice. I stand corrected some do have lives you are correct, but the one I was refering to directly as previously stated is no longer here. I will say that some people appear to have more self control then others when it comes to drugs, just as anything else I suspect. My choice is not too, nor do I want to be around it. I set the pace in my home as to what is expected of my children, drugs are not tollerated at all. My profession is my choice as well, and it would be a great hinderence and disservice to my community to have someone in my position stoned. You can't be high and trying to put out a fire, do CPR, or rescue someone. So we agree to disagree and are both happy with our choices. You are happy with your choices just as I am with mine. Take good care.

Dog collars...for dogs Posted: 7/28/2007 5:11:45 PM
Vet-Tech you said it!! I have two Australian Cattle Dogs and have been considering becoming a rescue for more ACD's. I've seen dogs that are bullied into submission turn on there owners, I would bite the hand that fed me if they were hurting me you bet! Positive redirection seems to work best for ACD's I tend to stay with this bread of dog. They must be continously redirected and given a task to do. I would never put a choker or pinch collar on my Dogs. I use a harness, it doesn't choke them, but yet I'm in control and without harming him. These are brilliant dogs if they are trained the right way. Not all dogs can be trained the same way, each bread, each dog is different. Best of luck to you OP.

ways to fool drug test for pot Posted: 7/28/2007 4:56:06 PM
With the development of flush drinks and pills, also comes the development of new ways to test. New urine tests can detect flush drinks and pills. Urine tests also use body temperature, any devation from this makes the test invalid. Many have tried to bring in samples, tried watering it down with water. I've even seen patients try to pass off animal pee for their own. It doesn't work. The best way to test clean is to stay clean...

The drug thing. Posted: 7/28/2007 10:58:52 AM
Drug or not, the drug option on pof is waaay too broad. You just cannot compare someone who smokes pot casually to a hardcore meth addict...and not all weed smokers move on to harder drugs. It appears you have miss understood my post. I didn't say all weed smokers move to harder drugs. I said that how a drug addicts start, and I did include paid meds because this happens more often then we would like to admit. I'm not saying that for some weed hasn't helped control of pain for terminally ill patients. With more and more places of employment becoming Drug Free is it really worth the risk? Possibly losing your job, or not being able to obtain a job? Should this topic be brought up in court a judge isn't going to give custody or joint custody to a parent that can't test clean. That just shows that being high is more important to them then their own child. Is it really worth it? A previous poster said that those of us that choose not to get high don't have a life, yet he is the one that is no longer here, sitting on his couch getting high, while we are still here having some very good debates, meeting new people, doing things with family, friends, kids, community, going on adventures, traveling and have jobs worth having. So now tell me, who's not living?

Firefighters... Good, bad, or ugly? Posted: 7/28/2007 10:28:30 AM
Eno... I do see badge bunnies come up when the fire house doors are open... I crack up everytime. I love the guys and their families that I work with. Its a good band of Brothers they always say I'm just one of the guys (I love that). I would never date anyone I work with not because of them being a firefighter because I'm one too, but more from the stand point of respect. I have a great deal of respect for them as they do me and I needed to keep it that way. From what I have experienced being a women firefighter seems to scare guys off... hmmm wonder why... No mater what I will never give it up, its in my blood, my heart, my soul, its part of who I am. I maybe single for the rest of my life because of that, and thats ok. I feel that if I were to ever leave the fire service part of me would die. I'm not willing to let that happen.

DisneyMom: You are so right!! Thank you so much for what you said. I see our fellow poster is no longer with us. What some tend to forget is that, the majority of drug addicts don't start out by doing crack, they start out with the simple stuff, weed or prescribed narcotics (pain killers). They start out smoking a little weed, or taking the pain killers as prescribed, time being a factor your body begins to build up a tolerance, requiring more weed for that high or more or stronger narcotics to numb the pain. The more drugs or the higher dose you take the more tolerance you build requiring more drugs for the wanted or needed effect. Talk about a vicious cycle. It just keeps going until they get help or I get that call. Possible Overdose. Life is worth so much more...

Son Sleeps With Dad Posted: 7/26/2007 7:32:38 PM
What ever the issue might be I have heard the reasoning of family tragedy, insecurities and more. There just aren't reasons why a parent should allow this from a boy this age.The boy will be much better off in many ways because of staying in his own bed, even if it's rough going to get him there. I would have to disagree but only when it comes to tragedy. Although I didn't want my kids sleeping with me or in my room it was most important for them to know we were all safe and going to be ok, no mater how long it took. Having them wake up in the middle of the night repeatedly with nightmares, not being able to concentrate in school, declining on every level wasn't worth keeping them in their room just because it was their bed. They needed security, emotional stability, not just in words from me, but more so needed to know and be able to see that I was safe. I had originally consulted with another Doctor because my kids didn't want to be away from me even so that I could shower, they would sit outside my door till I was finished. The first Doctor wanted to prescribe pills to help them sleep, I wasn't about to medicate my kids like that, I wanted them to heal emotionally and be ok again, a pill isn't going to do that. I consulted with another. "Doc" (as I call him) said that children that come close to loosing a parent in a violent crime in the home develop more of an attachment and some how feel responsible in that they should have done something to protect their parent. He said that if sleeping in my room or in my bed helped the kids to know I was safe and helped heal them emotionally then that is what I needed to do. At first I didn't agree like most don't its very weird having your kids at that age in your bed. But it wasn't about me, it was about them and what they needed. This was not their Father, but rather someone that entered my home in the middle of the night while we were sleeping. My kids are doing great and like I said before sleep in their own room.

How many sinle parents have their kid or kids with no help? Posted: 7/26/2007 4:34:44 PM
I raised my kids on my own and wouldn't change a thing. They are 21, 18 and 15, I'm proud of them all... Regarding the absent parent, his loss. Times of struggle are also fond memmories of closeness and pulling together as a family. When things were rough, and they wanted their Father, I made sure we as a family did something fun together. I've always said there is something good even when something bad happens, sometimes its just a little harder to find. All those nights of him not showing up, making promises, were blessings in disguise. It gave us wonderful memmories of dancing in the rain, bbq's, board games, lightening storms, pizza & movie nights, slumber parties with the neighborhood kids at my house, and one of their favorite memmories is eating the fresh fruit from the bushes and trees. The child support??? Well its still owed... but its only money... and that can't by happiness.

Son Sleeps With Dad Posted: 7/26/2007 3:02:11 PM
OP: Due to a very tramatic experience all my kids at one point slept in my room. They would take turns sleeping on the bed and the floor. In order for this to be comfortable for me, I opted for seperate blankets, this seemed to help somewhat. As my daughter and both boys got older I moved them to the floor, making sure they knew I was going to be ok. They seem to sleep better in the same room with me, I was concerned about this because kids at that age sleeping with adults wasn't right. The Doc told me that since they almost lost me, my daughter felt a need to be close to me at all times, the oldest of the two boys felt it was his responsibility to keep me safe and the youngest one needed to knew we were all together and safe. He also said when they moved past what happened they would move to their room, and that it would be more tramatic on them to force the issue. This went on for almost 5 1/2 years off and on, some weeks were better then others, eventually they did start to work through it and slept in their own rooms. It was very uncomfortable for me at first, but my main concern was my kids and getting through what had happened. We have two wonderful dogs that keep a watchful eye over us all. One dog now sleeps in my boys room they are 18 & 15, the other in my room. It wasn't until this past year that they have pretty much stayed in their rooms at night, and nightmare free. My Daughter is 21 and also has a dog to keep her safe. So although granted is just doesn't seem right there maybe something else that took place. Although we as adults are uncomfortable with this, I have learned is that sometimes its best for the children. It most certainly wasn't comfortable having a teenager sleeping next to me, but I will be uncomfortable anyday for the peace of mind, safety and welfare of my children.

Caramel: Your worth is determined by you and you alone. Not all men prefer younger women, there are younger men that appricate the strong, self confident, intelligent, older women. Some older women have a positive direction, know what they want and aren't affraid to speak their mind with tact. I'm going to be 40 at the end of August. I have loved every moment of my 30's and looking forward to each and every year to come. Life only gets better with each year.. ENJOY IT!!!

Did somebody tell you that or did you read that in a magazine somewhere? You know magazines/media will take the worst case scenario no matter how trivial it is and make their case about it. No I did not read it in some magazine. This thread is about "the drug thing" not just weed. My post was based on experiences of dealing with patients, who have used and what it has done to them, their families and their lives. Where they started and what they did to make their high better. I never stated they were just using weed. Having had family members go through drug abuse in their younger days and now are on medication to help prevent seizures, panic attacks, major changes in heart arrhythmias, etc etc. You can't tell me that people that smoke weeds aren't addicts, I'm in the healthcare field and I SEE IT. You believe and do what you will, its your choice. Trying to justify to me what you do is pointless.

Name me one case where someone has died/OD'd from only marijuana... Kids are trying more then just weed anymore. They are lacing it with pneumonia, bleach, crank, etc etc etc. In order to get a better high they move on to huffing, triple C's (this is an over the counter cold and cough medicine taken in large quantities), acid, coke, crack, heroin. etc etc etc. My point is, you don't know what your getting.

Why is it when you're single, every woman around thinks you want HER man?? Posted: 7/24/2007 3:19:04 PM
I'd much rather be thought of as an actual woman with feelings, than as a little hirl who couldn't possibly have sexual thoughts. Being treated, perceived as and thought of as a women is in how you carry yourself, your self presentation and the confidence that you have with who you are. Being perceived as a threat is about someone else feeling threatened by you, the way you present yourself, and the confidence you have as a women. Its a reflection of their own insecurities and they look for someone to blame for them. It has nothing to do with being a women.

No way....no thanks, not in this lifetime or any other. I've tried to resuscitate overdoses, and telling ones family that I'm sorry but your son has died of an apparent drug overdose, or telling a child your Mom, has died from the drugs she did. I value life and those in it. Why would anyone what to do drugs that impair thoughts, make your brain bleed onto your spine, give delusional thoughts and make you see things that aren't there???? Plus all the long term damage it does on your heart, and other internal organs.

Glockengasse No 4711 I have been wearing this for years, ever since I was a young girl. It is by far my favorite.

'New Man' RIP, Long live Alpha Male - Discuss Posted: 7/15/2007 5:29:09 PM
The important thing about a man isn't whether he gets manicures or waxes his chest, it's whether or not he can be a real partner in life- without trying to dominate everything or sit back and float along. Honestly, there isn't much a guy can do to "make me" like him- the real guy comes through sooner or later. The rest is just the wrappings.[quote/] Kudos to you...I couldn't have said that better myself..

Why is it when you're single, every woman around thinks you want HER man?? Posted: 7/15/2007 5:18:27 PM
It sucks worse when other women perceive you as someone who couldn't possibly be a threat.[quote/] Would you want to be thought of as a threat, get the harassing phone calls in the middle of the night, be accused of causing problems in anothers marriage, questioned by your chief officers?? I would hope not.

How do I tell my 7 year old her dad's a jerk? Posted: 7/13/2007 9:27:09 PM
You don't. You let her find out for herself, she will develope her own opinion, of him in due time. Just continue to be strong for her.

I work closely with my local PD and I think they are all just a great bunch of guys and girls.

HAHAHAHAHA..... Ohhh yes.... I've been asked more then once why I don't have a boyfriend, and been asked if I was a lesbian too...thats what they think now.. I really want to hand those that start cruddy rumors like that a big giant spoon and tell them to go stir the pot elsewhere.

How do you meet people in real life? Posted: 7/13/2007 7:04:58 PM
I don't get a chance to. I'm usually working, running calls (fire & medical). I don't date people I work with either. Sooo its the PC.

I have dealt with this for the past two years. I work with 75 men, there are two other women on our department but they married. I am the only single women, I have been accused, and questioned, and not once would I have ever given anyone the impression, idea, or thought that I have or would ever go after someone elses spouse or SO, its just not right. These are my buddies and that it. We have to be able to trust eachother with ourlives, so bonds are built and a closeness develops. These guys are like brothers to me. Its sad to say that SO's look for someone to blame for their own insecurities. For me its about being respected, these guys know why I'm there, I've worked really hard to prove myself over and over again. Yet there is always that SO that is insecure with the fact that their husband works with a single women.
