I had to have Ted 'splain what a PAT is .....

Yikes....but you big strong firefighter-type person....I'm sure you'll be fine.
Just don't keel over and die or anything. That would probably lessen your chances of employment....

Hey Mike, hope you are staying cool today...

Hey there, hope your weekend was good and not as busy as mine...

thanks Mike, I made it with the FOGIES and Brianna in mind.

Hey gimpy. I posted pics of my new kids on my page. Feel free to be jealous :-)

Hey Mike, hope softball practice went well..

Hi Mike,
Just "wont" to say hi.
:)
I've been following your discrimination discussion. Nicely done.

I agree, I think she thought she would just throw that out there and no one would question it. I seldom get a ball down the middle and dont swing at it, and that was a big fat one. I think you have pretty much crushed her credibility on this point.
Stay safe!

Thanks Mike I knew you would know what that was.. lol :o)

Hey mike, just wanted to say hi and hope everything is going good. talk to you soon there buddy..

Hey Mike,

Just read your post and left a comment for ya.. Really good..

thanks Mike, it's good to know who your friends are, and I've got some amazing friends on here.
xo,

Thanks for the comment on Chiefs discussion.....I always work with the attitude that "it's all small stuff". Montgomery Fire and Rescue has had 12 firefighter suicides in the last 10 years. Houston Fire has had similar ...... and the point of open and up front discussion with the chiefs who are on the front lines is was and will be....one of getting the message out that.....it is way overdue to pull up our hitch and begin to address the issues...in a fair frank open and honest dialogue...So....I have worn my Rangers in other peoples houses as a 26 year career firefighter with IAFF and know when and where the boots have taken me......suffice to say.....ppe is still required when dealing with provincialisim and o.b.c. attitudes in the emergent 21st Century. Web stats for NAFFVN went past 126 thousand hits over 20 months. 15 Hits from China 7 From S. Korea.....Russian Federation Italy, Spain and yes Argentina......Seems like that part of the Message is getting out there.....cake for everyone.....much work to do....off I go....ten and six ten and six.....mad as a hatter.....

Warmly Shannon NAFFVN Senior Chief.

How can I have fun if I have no one to have fun with?

I'm not even dating Jon anymore and he still manages to upset me. It's not just him, but this whole lack of a social life thing... it's REALLY getting to me this summer already.

I'm depressed.
And I'm listening to Korn and Limp Bizkit... and it's not helping... and that's making me even more sad :-(

Hey, Mike missed yo last night and then I remembered this morning that you had the game to go to. Hopefully it was a good game. Talk to you later. :o)
