    Do you pack heat?

    I just wanted to point out that the link did include per capita data. We ranked 8th there behind such examples of safety as South Africa, Columbia, Thailand, and Mexico. Australia and Great Britain ranked 27th and 32nd, respectively. As far as gun laws in the US, neither side can win the...

    Any poets in the house?

    I do. Not as often as I used to, or as I'd like to, though.

    Any poets in the house?

    Is it for people to share and critique their own poetry? That could be really wonderful.

    the 100% directionless thread

    I think all three of my kids would be delighted to have jingly collars. Loonies that they are.

    the 100% directionless thread

    My two year old has a splint on her leg. I keep having to chase down the "thump-thump" noise as she walks around the house on it. Please, please, let the ortho tomorrow tell us that it's unnecessary and she can go back to running around.

    On a walk with my kids this evening...

    Good job, Momma! Don't you love when your kids pull through in a crazy situation?

    Too old for EMS?

    I'm 34 and just started a 2 year Paramedic program. So far, so good. Serious health problems aside, age is all in your head.

    interview attire

    It's not impossible to do well without dressing well, but dressing well can't hurt. :P

    interview attire

    In general, it's better to be overdressed rather than underdressed.

    Ground Zero Mosque

    Yeah, Olbermann isn't my favorite talking head (he's not my least favorite either LOL) but when he's right, he's really right.

    Ground Zero Mosque

    I think it's much ado about nothing, or rather, the ado is pretty offensive. Americans are not any one religious faith, that's sort of an important fact about this nation. Not only are there many Muslims who are part of this society, but there were many who died on 9/11 or who were affected...

    Describe How You Met Your Significant Other

    I was a single Mom at the time. My mother kept trying to kick me out so I could meet people, she told me that my knight wouldn't show up on our doorstep. Then we had a dinner party on Easter Sunday, a family friend asked if he could bring his nephew who was in the Marine Corps stationed a few...

    the 100% directionless thread

    It's required. I'm on the path to get my EMS degree. I don't honestly know if we do or not. I guess I'll find out soon though.

    the 100% directionless thread

    Tomorrow is an odd class that the college makes everyone take that the EMS director said they hijacked with their own curriculum and then Emergency Vehicles & Communications. Tues through Thurs are A&P and EMT-Basic. I've been out of school for 15 years, I'm so excited to go back. I'm...
