We can leave if we get someone to sit in dispatch and cover for us. On up in the morning, like from 0200 til 0430, I can slip out for a few minutes without getting coverage. Most of the time I wait to get Sarge in here anyway, just never know what may happen.

Only a half hour left to go, then one more night.

sorry guys the cat just got sick, just back now

Man, things are getting bad everywhere. If it's not one thing, it's something else!

just watching the 1988 remake of the blob
hope something else comes on soon

cat had surgery on friday, so it isn't surprising

You got that right!

life happens
like i used to tell our foster kids (and my kids)
life is rough, grab a helmet

I don't really expect it to all be a bed of roses, but I'd like to get to smell the flowers every now and then.

Yeah working stiffs like us are used to trials and tribulations, but when it rains frogs every day, sheesh!

I used to know a guy that had a deep belief in god, but distrusted organised religion.
He believed that when you died, you stood before god.
God would look you over for scars, and if he was pleased he would say.
Step forth into Heaven, you have been made well in that crucible called earth.

He believed that we are here to be made strong.

I commend him for his belief that we need to gain strength throughout our lives, but disagree with him on the being pleased about the scars. Just my belief and I have NEVER believed it was worth beating someone in the face over. It's there IF you want it. IF you don't, you shouldn't be FORCED to take it.
