Jen-

Can't the teachers band together, hire a few hit men, and just pick off these slimy little jerks, and their parents? Sure would save the taxpayers a lot in the long haul!!

I know this is really opinionated but, until some laws are put into place to stop monetary aide for those people who breed like rats and will not work to support their kids or themselves, society is going to continue spiralling downward. "It's all about ME", is their creedo.

Anybody can have an unexpected pregnancy. The difference is, if you expect the gov't to bail you out & support you & your "mistake", then the gov't should have the right to demand you & the father of the child get sterilized. If you opt not to, then either work, let your family support you, put the child up for adoption, or starve.

I know this is harsh thinking, but it's just the way I feel about medicaid, food stamps, AFDC, etc. Those who truly need it, are the ones I see getting turned down. Those that could get of their butts & work are the ones getting benefits by the bucket full and sitting back, they laugh at the rest of us who work hard.

Okay... rant over!

Okay Scott.... what is the one city in the U.S. famous for selling/making firetrucks? (Hint.... the city is somewhat close to the Mouse)

Since I have been to E-one in Ocala for a pre build and a post build inspection I will say Ocala, although Pierce in Appleton Wisconsin is the # 1 builder in America.

Try that one on Rog

Firetrucks are often red, sometimes white, and in Kenner, LA they're lime green. Water puts out fire. Dont play with matches. Only YOU can prevent forest fires. Getting a burn really sucks.

Thats it........Thats the extent of my firefighter knowledge!!!

We have more hoodlems than most HS's, so the parents telling me to F off was not unexpected. We all know where the kids get their attitudes from....it is sad really...

skipping and pranks i can handle, but nowadays, bomb threats are just not cool

Sheesh Jen! I am so sorry! I hope your arm feels better! What is the deal with these kids and parents?

Jeesh, Jen, sorry to hear about your day, make me really want to home school Matt! Maybe you should have the doctor put the hard cast back on for the rest of the school year, that way you can "accidentally" smack some of the hooligans in the back of the head as they run by.

Deb, why don't you tell us how you really feel.

 

[VACAMPER]

There was talk awhile back about polypix and i starting a campground cult here in Va. Where everyone would live carefree and drink kungaloosh and beer all day. Maybe while we do that Jen could homeschool all of our children. you can smack my kids all you need to.

Thought I’d share a little something DS and I wrote for DH. He was chosen to attend the National Law Enforcements Officers Memorial in Washington DC next week. He will be performing and meeting the president but his main purpose is to honor a friend and comrade that was killed in the line of duty last December.

The poem is about many stages of his career and highlights of his life. He has told me with all the calls he’s been on, even disarming a pipe bomb, nothing is tougher than having to stand next to the coffin of a fallen comrade. Here’s our poem to him:

This Man Behind the Badge
By Daniel and Martha

This man behind the badge
Is not just a cop,
He’s a loving husband, a devoted father
Which no one can top.

Almost twenty years ago,
He vowed to do his best
To protect the people and the city,
So citizens can rest.

The first few years he worked the streets,
All hours, day and night,
Coming home all bloodied
From the criminals he had to fight.

Because of his knowledge and expertise,
Accreditation called on him,
And for an opportunity to excel
He accepted on a whim.

Soon Accreditation was ending,
So the streets were back in sight,
Until he got the news that the
Academy will do him right.

Now working normal hours with
Weekends and holidays off,
Soon brought about a miracle….
His little Daniel, cuddly and soft!

The Academy was benefiting
From this man and his knowledge,
But to excel any further,
He had to go to college.

Completing his Master’s
Was not an easy task,
But he graduated with honors,
Magma Cum Laude at last!

As a Top Gun for shooting,
And a member of Mobile Field Force,
Nothing was more challenging
Than his HDS Bomb Tech course.

This man of many talents asks,
“When will it stop?”
Thinking this as he’s an Honor Guard,
Honoring a fallen cop.

Very Nice. We can relate..my son is on the job. It does take a special kind of person.

My dad was a cop for 26 years with Metro Dade police department (which is basically Miami). Was there during all the drug years and the riots and everything. Was on the SWAT team, but spent most of his time in robbery.

His one claim to fame is he was the first police officer on a SWAT team in the US to hire a female as a sniper

Off topic for a minute, we had a tornado touch down last night, it was pretty scary, no damage to my property at all but one street over is mayham...the schools are close and the areas a mess. No power but we do have water, it's amazing what kind of damage this has done, please help pray for my neighbors we live in nc and never expected it.

What a way to honor your Dh. Good job.

Terri, I've been watching some coverage of this on CNN...had no idea it was in your area. Hope all is well, and will keep your community in my thoughts and prayers...hope that everyone is found to be safe and well.

Very nice poem. Having a brother that is a local police officer, another that is a state police officer, and another that is a firefighter, I can relate too, to the commitment to serve and protect.

DING DING DING!!! Scott.... you are correct!!

Now I feel special just like Rog
