I bet you see alot of GSW's over in Flint. A couple of stabbings I'm sure. And being a married father, HELL YES BEING A SINGLE MOM IS A FULL TIME JOB!!! Nothing but respect for you. I couldn't imagine. Keep up the good work. Stay safe.

Hi Laura,
I'd say that you are doing a great thing out there in Flint! Yes, being a single parent is truly a job in itself!!! I never went to culinary school, but I do love to cook, just not for myself. I can cook for the entire nieghborhood, but for just one, it's not as much fun if you know what I mean.
Like you, I am the first in my family to become a member of the fire department, and at the tender age of 45 none the less!!!
Feel free to add me as a friend here on FFN...seeing as we are all brothers and sisters on this site.
Stay safe and be careful out there!

Hi Laura,
Tennesee sounds good! I know what it is like to leave everything that you are familiar with behind, but sometimes it can be for the best. I moved away from all that was familiar to me, and now I'm very happy with my life and where I'm at. God does work in mysterious ways, so don't despair! Be safe out there and I'll say a prayer for you.
