You just ain't had enough coffee until you can thread the needle on a sewing machine......while it is running.

I met , who is now, my wife. I asked her out on what would be our first date. I smoked, she didn't....so I quit. We've been married for 17 years now.

I might be hanging up my boots. I have not been on a call or on duty since the beginning of the year. I threw out my back early January, and have been seeing a chiropractor 2x/week since. Every time I feel I am getting better, something happens and out it goes again. Finally, after a few...

Looking at getting a VOIP phone system (Vonage, Magic Jack, Ooma) Anyone have experience with them? Pros -vs- cons?

Yet another weekend w/o being on the rig. I get to have an MRI next week. Back is still messed up. Dr prescribed me some cyclobenzaprine for the spasms I have been having. Vicodin and cyclobenzaprine.....best sleep aids money can buy.;)

Blew my back out (again) 2 weeks ago. Multiple trips to chiropractor is getting it better, but still can't sleep at night due to discomfort. Dr gave me Rx for Vicodin (5-300)...not sure if it's helping or not. Ugh...I just want to be able to stand up straight again. Still have a 3" lateral...

1 brand new bottle of Ralph Lauren Romance + 1 ceramic tile bathroom floor + 1 clumsy husband ________________________________________________ = 1 very expensive air freshener. It was my gift to my wife for Christmas this year. Oops. There goes $90.00!:angry:

We are supposed to get a freezing rain/snow mix Friday. Yeah, super cooled precipitation falling on the ground/ buildings/trees that are well below the freezing point... I seem to recall back in '76 we had an ice storm that was preceded by very similar conditions. I remember not having power...

This was at 04:00 yesterday morning. Actual...not some BS wind chill number. Any colder, and I might have to start wearing a coat.

12 hr shift tonight starting at 1800...then off the rest of the weekend. I will be at the Packers Game Sunday...looks like it will be a snowy game. That's cool, because I will be staying in Green Bay overnight. Don't feel like fighting traffic in 6-8" of snow with a majority of the travelers...

Maybe she is kinky, and needs a steady supply of chicken feathers?

Woo Hoo! We are up to 4 degrees! Windchill is still negative 20-30 degrees, but actual temp is above Zero. :D

When I got in this morning, it was 3 degrees F Now it's a balmy 12 Wednesday night I might have to break out my winter coat. They are talking -7 degrees F. Hell, if it's above 40, I am in short sleeves and a wind breaker.

Had my day job's company Christmas party Sat night. (Non EMS) Did my best to finish off a bottle of Dewars....got about half way, then my wife told me it was time to go...;) I think they watered it down. I had 6 on the rocks and was still standing straight and not slurring. Seriously...

Really want a Jeep Wrangler, it's one of the things on my bucket list....but cannot afford one at this time. I am not a big fan of GM products, only reason we had the Pontiac was because my wife was working for Mercury Marine at the time and because Mercury was using GM engines for the stern...

Damn....my car has a blown head gasket. So now I am faced with the dilemma of either repairing it or replacing it. FWIW...it's a 2001 Pontiac Grand Am with 157,000 miles on it. Yeah, the cost of repairing it is almost as much as it is worth for a trade in if it were in good condition. It was...

Respond to a PNB. First responders are there doing chest compressions. My medic tells me to get pt hx from sonwhile he calls medical control to call it DOA. My first questions for the son is..."What was his name?" Yeah... I still look back at that one and hang my head. Rest assured, I have...

No photo, but we had a truck carrying "refuse" from a meat packer/ slaughter house roll over on a state highway. You can't imagine how greasy the road gets after 10+ tons of fat and bowels are spewed across 4 lanes.

I am a paid on call with the local dept. I work my day job 60hrs/week (non EMS), and on call from 1700-2200pm M-T Fri and Sat nights I stay at the station from 2000-0800 then NOT on call during the weekend days.

November is National Beard Month... How many of y'all (Ladies excluded) grow a beard for November? How many of your dress codes prohibit having them? I know a lot of the Fire/EMS guys can't due to mask seal issues. Just curious.
