Mel's been KIDNAPPED!!!!!! Donate so the captors will let her go!!

One of FFN's own has been KIDNAPPED!!!!

FirefighterNation.com Members,

Listen carefully! We are a group of individuals who represent a small but grammatically correct faction. At this time we have one of your fellow members and bloggers in our possession. Her member name is FASNYtraining, but many of you know her as the FNG(irl). She is currently safe and unharmed but if you want her to see the light of day and her computer keyboard again, you must follow our instructions to the letter.

Here are our demands:
You will leave a large sum of money in a brown paper bag next to the dumpster. You will visit the following website and make a donation in any denomination (don’t get cheap on us now) on her fundraising page for the half marathon she is running for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society: http://www.active.com/donate/tntnyvt/tntnyvtMShea1

The ransom will be paid in small, unmarked bills so they can’t be traced. Once you have made a donation, you may post a comment here to advise us of your actions. Until the requisite funds have been raised, the FNG(irl) will remain held in hiding. She is unable to e-mail, post, comment or otherwise communicate (and it’s KILLING her).

Any deviation from these instructions will result in the immediate execution of her computer. (That’s right, we used the word EXECUTION!) No more “FNG(irl)” blog posts, no more “TNT: The Accidental Runner” posts, no updates on her antics in Firefighter Boot Camp, no more… you get the picture. The individuals watching over your fellow member are a group of bilingual illiterates (they can’t read or write in two different languages) who failed 9th grade English 3 times. (9 x 3 = 23, carry the 4, to the nth degree – Oh screw it. We’re not good at
math either.)

Therefore, we do not particularly like Little Miss Grammarpants and we strongly advise you not to provoke us. Speaking to anyone about this situation, such as Web Chief, or anyone else on her, albeit limited, friends list will result in her loss of other privileges while in captivity.

We’ll start by withholding her coffee. If we catch you talking to a stray dog, we’ll take away her chewing gum. If you alert the blogging authorities, her almighty expensive Mizuno sneakers will be tossed off the Dunn Memorial Bridge into the Hudson River.

If the donations are in any way determined to be slow in forthcoming, or insufficient, we’ll tighten her gag so that she can’t talk or eat BBQ. Follow our instructions and you stand a better than average chance of getting her back. (Are you sure you want her? OMG: She never shuts UP.)

You, as Firefighternation.com members, are under our constant watch. Don't start trying to be brave or grow a brain now. We
can not be out-smarted.

Now, it is up to you FirefighterNation Members!
Do the right thing.

The F.O.G.I.E.S.

P.S. – The reward for helping to achieve her fundraising goal will come to you two-fold, in the form of blogs. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.

Haha. That a girl!

I thought Web Chief was going to. That was the last thing that I thought was commented about.... You have check on fogies to see...

I guess Mel is free. She changed her pic.....

I thought so, I wanted to keep going for at least another day or two, just to see how much more we could raise....

Do you think Mel is up for it? I think she had a hard time with not being able to snark, even in this short amount of time... I don't know if she could handle another day of it.. lol

That snake pic is pretty good. I can hear, it shouldn't be to bad it wasn't a pic of a real one...lol

Shutty Uppy YOU.....
I worked my ASS off yesterday......we sold almost $5000 worth of food product,and nothing was priced over $3.00

Do the math.
Cranky, sore and tired. BUT...I had a GREAT day today--it was absolutely astonishingly beatiful out today and I spent the entire day on a boat fishing.
Life's not bad.

Ok, as for last night yes I was in bed by 10:15, I spent all morning make food for my sons grad. party. Then I spent all day at the party until about 7 and cleaned everything up and came home. Then I had to clean up what dishes I didn't do before the party. So by 10 pm I was done. This morning I was up at 6:15 and showered and all I had to do at 8:30 was put my class A's on for the parade. And now I am on call from 5 pm to 5 am. But the day was not that horrible today. it was beautiful out. So, how was your day. Hope you had fun with the family..

Yeah, we should have done some more scraping and priming on the house, that didn't happen. Hopefully the next couple of weeks we can get more done so the final coat can get done. It seems that the work never ends when you have a house. But you know, I wouldn't have it any other way.... :o)

Hey Dave... How's your day been. Nice and sun here with tempatures in the 80's. A couple of claps of thunder here and there but nothing significant..

Well, lucky you. Heres one for you that I think you will get a kick out of. Check out Mike's page there is a comment there that just kills me.

I just added it to fogies Dave. You just can't make this stuff up... :o)

Dave long time know see dude, you are missing some of the fun...

Well that sucks. hey check out fogies, there is some new things

Hey there Dave...

haha yeah i still got em.

i guess he laughed when he got up to go to work at how terrible hi thinks my car looks.

i think it looks baller. OH and my bluelight came in and its all hooked up and looking great!

Dave you missed it Mike missed a question on the Millionair game.. I got him good...:o)

Hey Dave, were did you go?

I haven't seen him, I take it, the fire obviously was bad. Was the fatal a civilian?

Ok...Don't get wet...

That is terrible. It almost sounds suspicious with reading it. I could be wrong..

Dave check out fogies...

That is a real shame. See smoking will kill you that is why I don't smoke... Nasty habit...

I am real sorry to hear that dave. My prayers go out to the family. and your right it sucks..

Hey Dave, how is the weather there. It is sunny and a little warm but beautiful. :o)

Not bad, on Jury duty this week, Yuck. I have 2 more meetings this week, work Friday night and Saturday night. Oh, and the girls dance recital Saturday afternoon. Next week I am applying to a paid ambulance service to work as an EMT. That is pretty exciting. How are things with you.

You are a brave man Dave. Having 30 16 year old I am assuming all girls. If not and it is a mixture of boys and girls, my hat is off to you. good luck, let me know tht you survived. lol :o)

Have you checked out the new members? there is one you just have to check out. You will be on the floor.

Ok, I will give yo this, he is on page 2, third row down and in the middle row.

Ted and I were just hysterical when we saw it..

just dropping in to say hi end how is everything going there ples take care

Tell your daughter that miracles happen for a reason. She's obviously a very special person. My daughter, (Breanna), was involved in a really serious MVA and really shouldn't be here. Things happen for a reason and 10 years being cancer free is truly a wonderful thing to come across as I get more familiar with the Firefighter Network.

Let me know if I can ever be of assistance or can share any of our in-house training programs with you. We're pretty good at wildland and I have no idea if you have those worries. My particular specialty is hazmat / WMD / Decontamination / Hospitals Ops. I'm hoping to someday get out to the East coast and see it for myself. I'll be 55 in January... : ) Stay safe and again give you daughter a hug from my family and tell her way to go! Mike Schlags mschlags@yahoo.com

Oh yea... my daughter has totally recovered and is transferring to the Univiersity. Our worries concerning her serious head and internal injuries... she got an A in Physics and Advanced Algebra... I never made it out of basic Algebra...
