Hi....Me again....Now this is NOT another Career vs Vollie post...Someone asked for stats (I think it was Heather)...So, I got nosey and found this information from the United States Fire Administration....all stats are from 2008. Total Firefighters in US 1,148,850...Career 321,700, Volunteer 827,150. Firefighter age groups.... ages....16-19... 4%, 20-29... 25%, 30-39...26%, 40-49...24%, 50-59...15%, >60...6%. 76% of Career Firefighters are in communities of 25,000 or more ......96% of Volunteer Firefighters are in communities of 25000 or less of which 50% are in rural areas with populations of less that 2500......I found this little exercise very interesting (doesn't take much to get me "interested" I guess....LOL) Stay safe....always remember to Keep the Faith......Paul
Hey I spent many years in Carolinas and Alabama and even a bit in Georgia...so I am sort of an honorary redneck myself.....what...? No meeting the sister?.....Damn....I hate a guy that doesn't like a little competition.....LOL
oh no Master Paul, you could never be second best ;-)
Did you ever wonder why Dust calls me "Miss" which as we all know is short for "Mistress?"
So, Paul, as you will be serving me - you may refer to me with "Yes, Mistress Heather" or "Yes, Lady Heather" (as referenced in CSI - if you ever saw that episode)
[in real life I sign my text msgs and emails "Lady Heather"]
pretty soon the ONLY people getting married will be same-gender couples... and stupid teenagers who don't have any clue about real-life yet
my one friend is on her 8th husband - that is just full-blown psychosis right there [yeah, 2 died, but that still leaves 6 divorces]
and since the average U.S. divorce costs $30-50K per person... it is cheaper to kill them off, then divorce them... or marry them in the first place I guess
