I'm scared of daddy long legs.

Sad that is. Now if my memory is correct a 17 year old gave him a photo of herself, but I could be confusing things. There were other reports that more than photos and more than 1 child were victims. Don't feel like researching to check right now as there are tons of references when you google so will be hard to weed out the facts.
 
Packing for my aunts funeral only to discover my kids have no appropriate clothes to wear.
 
Dont worry about it Sassafras, i would think no one takes notice of what kids wear at a funeral.

Me, im on nights, i hate nights as i dont sleep during the day so sleep deprevation is a normal feeling for me.

As long as they're young and it's not a snobby crowd, I don't think anyone will care. Just go for the darkest colors. If the weather's appropriate, you could always just throw a black raincoat over the whole outfit...
 
I think I'm officially the most awkward person ever to pick up a 911 call.

After the now infamous bomb on the truck vs. bum on the truck incident, seductively asking a caller what she was wearing, and accidentally calling a sweet old lady by her last name... "Ok Robinson we've got help on the way... err I mean Dorothy..."

*sigh*

Hahaha great song... but I wasn't even smart enough to play it off as though I'd meant to say Mrs. Robinson.. (not the real last name of course)
 
Well... the clothes one makes sense to the people that know you.

Yeah as a thorough, detail-oriented person who likes to paint a picture for responders!!!
 
Best friend to the rescue w/ a trip to Target while I headed that direction. She lives halfway between my house and funeral. Picked up kid clothes for funeral on the way there. Aunt look beautiful. Haven't seen her in a while and noticed she had really worked on losing weight. Other fam who saw her recently said she was swollen, but from one who sees swelling daily far worse, I think she looked beautiful.
 
Car was towed tonight while out with friends.

At least it wasn't stolen. :rolleyes:
 
Why am I up at 7am on my last day off?
 
just some happy news

Went out to help look for a missing person this past weekend, 89 yo male, missing for 3 days, on his property. Found his cane and hat, the first day. Thick woods, dangerous terrain, cliffs, rows and rows of corn. Lots of people looking for him, They found him at noon on Monday, ALIVE. Yeah! I am so proud of the people that took time out of their day to help. Makes you look at life just a little differently. I am so very glad of such a positive outcome. Thank You to everyone who helped. Thanks for letting me share.B)

Sounds like he was very lucky. Good job. What were the night time temps? Does he have Alzheimer's or something?

Sounds very similar to a call I had that did not turn out so well.

It always amazes me though... sometimes people pull through against the odds and other times they could've made it but didn't for some reason. We once had a 90-something year old woman lost in a veritable blizzard for several hours, in her nighties. Her core body temp was in the 80's when they got her to the hospital. She made a shockingly fast recovery though and was discharged within a few days, without any major lingering effects.
