CR: I am with ya. I had an 'experience' in which I thought my time was about up. It does mess with your mind. I do find it really really hard to explain to others though. I feel like I cannot get my DH to 'see' what it is I mean about it all. I can say it totally changed my thinking about everything. I wouldn't even believe it if it didn't happen to me. In a big way, I guess it was a blessing in disguise, for the way I see things now.

Sidenote: Really cute boots and purse. I am a total diehard Coach fan myself.

I dont think I can afford Coach - although I'm plunking down $140 for boots now-a-days, who knows what Im capable of.

But thank you. I sure like both of them!

It is hard to explain death, to anyone for any reason. It's so personal and different of a thought for everyone.

Like, Ive always "beleived" in ghosts (anyone catch those "Haunting" shows on A&E - I think.... or Discovery? There's been a bunch of them on lately - or the Celebrity Paranormal Experiement on VH1?? Im hooked on those show!!! Anyways....) Ive always beleived in ghosts, but if I do....

How can I think my Mom went to this amazing wonderful place? Why arent those spirits hanging out at Insane Asylums or in a Victorian Home in South Carolina who get mad when you remodel - why arent *they* there? In that Amazing place???

I dont know - Ive said it once, and Ill say it again - I want - when I die - a HUGE GIANT book of answers to everything. Big Questions such as racism, poverty....to small answers "why didnt my 8th grade crush like me?" I want ALLLLL the answers.

 

[julsmom]

Deeper than deep. I kind of wonder if my mind could handle the answers. Plus, am I worthy of the answers? I think the 'higher ups' would get those. I will probably just sit and play with something shiny.

MRFDNY:
Are you out there? I have a question & I tried to PM you but it said you have too many messages! Anyway, my DH got a popular mechanics mag in the mail today, I flipped through it and saw an article on ladder 120/engine 231 from Brooklyn in it. I had to double check and make sure if you were one of those firefighters! I know, odds are you are not, but what a coincidence if you were! Let me know. Thanks!

Higher Ups - Schmigher Ups.... I'm getting that dang book!!!!

And if you'd like - since Ill have the book and all, come see me for anything you'd like the answers to.

Hey there everyone! I'll see if I can catch up...

first gotta say CR - LOVE the boots AND the purse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

haven't done my SS shopping yet...I'm a die hard black Friday shopper...probably will get most of it then

now the wine swap wine...well I expect my case any day now...& I'm sharing it with my wine buddy!!!


Timmy - you still ok?????

hmm, when I die omg I want so many freaking answers, the big guy will probably send me back down here just to shut me up! I absolutely have to believe in afterlife, angels, whatever you want to call it. If I don't then I would have to say I"d never see my son again...& can't do that. so 9 years ago I might have waivered on it...not anymore, it's all I've got.

My "mom I don't get math" student brought home a high honor roll report card today! WHEW I had started to sweat our Disney trip a little when she fell behind after the trip.

I sometimes think I'm superwoman too..I mean no one else around here does squat...ok the girls do. but my dh is basically useless...sorry I love him but man he's useless

I would LOVE to go on a Disney cruise!!! whata great time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

gotta run..Miss grace has just screamed from her bedroom that she neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeedddddddddddddddddddddddssssssssssssssssssssssss a drink of water


geesh

Cat - Cute boote. Too bad it never gets cold enough here to wear stuff like that. I saw a FAB Coach bag in Vegas that was to die fore cute. But it had fur on it (which I am not going all PETA or anything) but fur in AZ, those two do not mix. It would have been a GREAT little purse for shopping in Vail or Aspen, but not int he wilds of Sierra Vista Arizona.

I do not like to think about death or talk about it. I stress about it way too much. It is one thing I do not think I can come to terms with. I know it is a fact of life yadda yadda yadda, but it justmakes me too sad to even thik about it. Might be because I have lost so many people I have been close to. I dunno. But anyway, good luck on those answers. If you get htem before me, please share so I can stop stressing about it. I am not sure about ghosts. I have been watching that Celebrity Paranormal project thing on tv and some of that crap freaks me out. But, I have no first hand experiences so I will let those crazies hang out in mental institutions and stuff.

My hubby will be here next Wednesday! He will be here for 4 days. I am so excited. It will be ncie to have him around for a few days.

There was something else I was going to say, but it completely slipped my mind. Oh well.....
Nighty night all!

Nope thats not my house sorry.
I am at battalion 58 , brooklyn bough command. We have regular rigs, but we also have the specialitly units that covers all of brooklyn, no other fire house in brooklyn has these types of specialty rigs. We are responsible for all of brooklyn in the event of a major disaster or major emergency job. we have a merv(major emergency response vechile) a merv is like a fire truck on steriods, its twice the size of a regular fire truck, sounds all nice and all, but it is a major pain in the tush to try to drive this thing on some of these small side streets in brooklyn, and it will not fit under certain overpasses, so we sometimes have to take the long way around to calls when it goes on a run. We have a 3 other specialilty rigs too. Also mrFDNY is not a fireman, I am a paramedic with advance training in trauma for the FDNY. So i don't ride on a fire truck, but mostly an FDNY EMS unit(Exactly like an ambulance) In the event of a major event or disaster in brooklyn we leave the EMS unit at the fire house and hop on the merv or other special rig depending on the nature of the disaster or call.We also sometimes end up backing up another boro ,like on sept 11 and we took the 3 special rigs to manhattan to back them up at the trade center. I will try to take some pics of the special rigs and post them here as well as the EMS units. Also when the Engine company and ladder companys confirm a fire or are going to a report of a fire with more than 3 calls, we go with them.

 

[julsmom]

Morning everyone!
MrFDNY: Hope I didn't offend you then. I know my DH wouldn't like someone saying he was in the Army (he is a vet from the Air Force).
Dreamergirl: So happy your DH is coming home for a visit! He is going to be so happy to see you!

 

[ANTSS2001]

Hello poppers! I finally got to sit infront of Thank you for all your good thoughts As of right now I am home bound till the dr gives me the OK. On Friday I will be going through ultra sound for the pelvic... Yuck! Worst than the Girly Dr Cat!!!

Let's see.... what have I done lately ??? Nothing !!! I have not shopped for my SS yet. I am terrified to get in the car . My sister suggested I sit at the back, but then what if I get hit at the back? It is a loose loose situation for me. This is where cat's question comes in... Death... I thought that was it for me, seeing this big truck flying towards me was hair raising ! I always had answered before, If I die today I think I am ready. But I was not. I closed my eyes and all my troubles zipped past me and realized I am not ready yet And i am glad for this 2nd lease in life.

Ghost ... I do believe... stupid it may sound.. I think I see them occasionally... Since I came from a family background, all of my relatives and ancestors believes in Ghost. And the funny part is that when we are at work, you kinda sense them (lab is always next to the morgue ).

Well, to all who are sick have been sick. I hope you are niot as as I am. I had played catch up with all the movies I missed. I have read 2 books already (Sidney Sheldon's "are you afraid of the dark" and "The devils wear prada") , any suggestions for a next book > I cannot do my beads since my neck bothers me still. So far so good I have not over eatten yet and manage to keep the the 7 lbs I lost since we were at PoP. January vaca is now in question since I am used all my vaca hours I would just really get up and go now but since the dr is keeping tab where am at ( never work with our doctors they know how to find yah ) so I can't go fly

I guess that's about it folks!

 

[ANTSS2001]

Ok we need a complete DETAILED trip report Erica!!! Esp'ly me since I know I will never be on DCL or any cruise line

Ok, I'll try to be good and write one. I'm not a great author...the TR I tried to write for my 2-day Easter trip I never finished (LOL), but I'll try.

So, Timmy, how come you won't go on a cruise? I didn't think I'd care for it, before our first one, but it sure was fun! Except I get terribly seasick . Luckily, there's nifty patches you wear behind your ear that keep that from happening, as I learned AFTER my first cruise! Note to self: check expiration dates on seasick meds...I might have to get a refill if they're expired!

We have 46 days to go...YIKES! We've never booked so late before -- I feel like I have a ton to catch up on, in addition to planning for DH's college graduation and if I want any spending money, I have to sell a BUNCH of stuff on eBay between now and when we leave (that, and I need it out of my house before our families descend for graduation!). Hmmm...what do y'all think -- is Thanksgiving weekend the biggest eBay shopping time, or the weekend after?

Have the Black Friday ads started coming out yet? I'm a get-up-at-4am shopper! DH is always at work, and I entertain him with camera phone pictures of the lines...last year at Target, the line went all the way around the store! No idea what they all wanted...I just wanted 4 of the automatic can openers for Christmas presents...no scramble to get those at 6am!

Ok, I've rambled long enough. Back to work! 4 performance reviews down, 12 more to go!
