About Me:
I have been around here for 30+years and yep I am a grandma now! I have pretty much done it all now and would not change a single moment!!! I am a public safety dispatcher now and will be until I retire. It is a little easier on my seasoned bones. Love to spend time with my family, fishing, camping, hiking, gardening, painting in watercolor medium and photography and so much more...
I was born this way! LOL! Public Safety has always been my way. I was the kid that always helped others, animals, and I even held funerals when my critters passed on...LOL!
All silliness aside...I have always held the passion in my heart and soul to serve and protect others.
Side Note...I was born on the same day as Florence Nightingale :o)
Why I Love Fire/EMS
The Life Style... excitement...compassion... Helping others...
Top Issues Facing Responders:
Biggest issue is lack of funding...especially with our many volunteer departments in the US.
Welcome to FFN, Debra!
I have never heard of your city, what part of the state is it in?
My son-in-law was station at 29 Palms, CA.
Visited there twice, OMG... I'm not a desert person.
Take Care & Stay Safe!
Thanks for the info., we never made it out to Camp Pendleton, where my son-in-law went to boot camp. In fact I wish he would of been stationed there, but 29 Palms is more like Iraq.
He's been out for 2 years and he is getting reactivated :(
So, your in the prettier area of CA.
Thanks Aagin!
Take Care & Happy Holidays!
"Hello, Pretty Lady! THIS IS A TOAST....TO US. FOR THE MEN WHO HAVE US, THE LOSERS WHO HAD US, AND THE LUCKY PEOPLE WHO WILL MEET US!! SEND THIS ONLY TO PRETTY LADIES, INCLUDING THE ONE WHO SENT IT TO YOU!!! You have been hit. You have been considered one of the 10 prettiest ladies on my friends list. Once you have been hit, you have to hit 10 pretty ladies. If you get hit again you know you're really pretty. So hit 10 pretty ladies on your friends list and let them know"
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!
