    No problem, we can never have too many friends. Yes, all of the animals are mine. The dogs eat more than the horses, about 100lbs. every 3 wks. They are very spoiled and very loyal. My kids also "love" to clean up after the dogs, I just remind them that I clean up after them EVERYDAY! Take care...

    hey how have you been?
  • susan

    Glad you are back and sounds like you had fun!! Did you forget about the "sunblock?" Well we had a little excitement last thursday, there was an explosion in the town where i am an emt, it was the first one i have been on, our pt's body was 95% burnt! He was a trooper,he was talking to us the whole time, my heart went out to him, he just wanted more morphine. life flight took him downtown to the best burn unit. I have seen burned people before but not that bad and still be alive. All we could so for him was to keep him calm, the explosion blew his clothes off of him, the only part that was not burned was his bicepts and his feet, but his foot had a bad cut,It moved the building a foot off its foundation. It was all over the news for a couple of days,it even made the world news! Other than that its been really quite.
  • susan

    Hope ypu are having a great day. Just got home from the golf course, we had a tournament today. The weather here today is crappy, it started out at about 76% this morning, its been raining and the temp now is 60%. I left for work today in shorts and flipflops,and was freezing when i left work. You know the odd thing about that run was that the guy did not smell of burnt flesh,yes he was badly burnt but the doctors are saying that his skin was peeled back by the presseur of the explosion, he is still alive, but it is a day to day thing. Last night went to a stroke class at the hospital,they flew out our new helicopters (Life Flight) it was pretty cool, i got to do a shift with them a while back, can not wait to do another, those people are great!!!! How has your week been?

    How were your days off? Over the weekend my best friends son got married,so we have been recouping from that process. Today we have to go break down everything at the church(it was a outside wedding,) so we have alot of plants and heavy things to go move. Tomorrow going to a pool party after work, should be fun. ttys
  • Erika Kirkman

    My daughter is 4. She loved the dolphins in Bermuda, she wants to move there. We took her to the FD out there to check out their rigs, so she keeps saying that we can get jobs there so we can move. She has it all worked out. Strong-minded, just like her mom. ;)

    Hi there,
    South africa, especially Cape Town, is really beautiful! The fire service down here is quite busy as we do not split our companies. We all do everything( rescue, medical, driving, firefighting etc) At the moment there is a great shortage of skilled firefighters so we are recruiting like crazy!

    Anyway have a stunning weekend... and if ur working Be Safe!!!
  • susan

  • Monica

    Lol..... I know most women love shopping but I rather use my time doing other things that most women don't like to do. Don't get me wrong I am very girly but shopping is not one of my favorite things to do.
    Believe me I've tried to get my daughter interested in other things as well but have not been able to.
  • susan
