God Bless you and stay safe. Love the article about the F-16's. All of my family at one time or another was in the USAF. God Bless all those who defend our rights to complain about stupid stuff. Rather it be here or overseas. 1 last thing. Thanks for the invention of water. My kids really enjoy it in the summer LOL
"Only 2 defining forces have ever offered to die for you....Jesus Christ and the American Soldier.
One died for your soul, the other for your freedom."
Thanks for the post to venomous snakes. I have that exact passage you quoted in the Wilderness Survival course book that I use when I teach Wilderness Survival. I was wondering if I had suddenly become reading impaired with the answer and ensuing rear chewing I got from two nurses on this. (the one at poison control and the school nurse who called pc instead of 911.) I am glad I am not the only one out there who was dumbfounded at how they told us to handle this.
Good afternoon Oldman....thanks for the comment on the Jellyfish blog. I couldn't pass posting it, because just when I thought I was at my wits end I read that and thought "Hey, my day isn't as bad as that poor guy". I enjoyed your "Why Worry" poem and the "Spoiled under 30 crowd", thanks. Take care and be safe.
Hi There thanks for your feedback in the forums on the multi-tools. My Boyfriend is a Volunteer Firefighter and I am always looking for feed back on the Channellocks we sell! Stay Safe

There are only two things to worry about.
Either you're sick, or you're well.
If your well, you have nothing to worry about.
If you are sick, you only have two things to worry about
You will either get better, or you will die.
If you get better, you have nothing to worry about.
If you die, you only have two things to worry about.
You go to Heaven, or you go to Hell.
If you go to Heaven, you have nothing to worry about.
If you go to Hell... you'll be so busy shaking hands with all your friends, you won't have time to worry!

Ive seen several of your comments and have been impressed you are a level headed person who uses common sense in your outlook on things. I try to listen and learn and just wanted to think you for your discussions and comments Ive learned alot.
1978 i got out of school in 1974 and a lot of my school mates joined the dept. in Va. Beach Va. then i guess i was a late bloomer. hey thanks for you service in the military and keep up the good work. have read a couple of your post and your dept. has a good man with them. stay safe roy.
hey oldman 28 years would put you joining about 1980 same as me, but i started when i was 24 and now i am 52 and yea they try and tell me i am an old man around here to. but the last competition i took home 1st. not in the quick dress although that is around one minute 10 sec. anytime. keep kicking their tails and don't let the rigormortis set in.
Welcone to the Nation. I really appreciate your attitude about being the oldman at your dept. I have that reputation at the EMS service and fire dept that I respond with. Keep it up. We oldster's need to teach these young pups a thing or two
