We got a bunch of snow today and I was out on the driveway shoveling in the wheel chair and a ladder truck rolled by the house and stopped. Three firemen got out and grabbed shovels and bam the driveway was done. It was way cool. God bless them...Boxman

Were they cute!! Most of them are goodlooking, straight-talking and considerate. Might just go get myself one of those. I'm glad they helped you boxman. They probably could see what a nice bloke you are. xx

Firemen and women are great! Now, I HATE our garbage men!!!!! They are pigs who can't even get all the trash in that big azz truck! THEN they half-azz throw the garbage can back into your driveway and it rolls back into the street to be dodged by everyone until you get home to retrieve it! BOOOOOO GARBAGE MEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (in San Antonio, anyway)  |

If you can smile when things go wrong, you have someone in mind to blame.
Lead me not into temptation, I can find it myself.
Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning how to dance in the rain.
Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.
