I had actually tossed around the idea of a trike, since my back issues would cause balance issues on a motorcycle. I was seriously looking at a Spyder myself. I decided that there are too many horrific drivers here to warrant the risks of riding a bike.

Sorry that your Leaf was hurt by a tree. Glad no person was hurt. Happy to hear you will be taken care of sooner rather than later.

Absolutely!!! I'm willing to bet there won't be anything that little one can't do when she grows up.

I saw a real hero today, although I don't think she views herself as one. I walked out of Target this afternoon when I came across a young mother and her daughter in the parking lot. The little girl couldn't have been more than 6. She had some spunk and was bouncing around like any excited little girl does, except she was a little different. I noticed her gait was not quite the same as a child her age. She was wearing shorts and you could clearly see she had a prosthetic leg from the thigh down. Her mother opened the back door of their SUV and she happily said, "I've got this mommie" and climbed into the back seat, then hopped up into her booster seat. She has apparently been doing this for a while. Her mother buckled her in, patted her on the head and closed her safely in. No that little one doesn't wear a cape or have super powers but she's a hero in my book. To be handed a rough hand in the card game of life and still be able to bounce around as though nothing were different takes more guts than many adults I know. God bless that little girl and I wish her only the best for the rest of her life. She could be a real example to a number of folks on how to handle themselves with grace and spunk when adversity strikes.

Are there nicknames for firemen and EMTs
Calamity Kris replied to Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
My first career was a firefighter in Missouri, when I was married to the AH. If I hadn't been injured, I would still be doing that today. -
Had something similar happen at my office. Commercial coffee maker was started and brewing. A couple of gents came in chatting away. First gent didn't pay attention to the brewing in process and pulled the carafe away from the coffee maker. His partner pointed at the machine and started to say something when the first gent turned around to hear the hissing sound of the coffee draining onto the warming plate. I scooted out as fast as I could so I didn't get caught up in their clean-up efforts.

Yes and yes. Hero's is another term I've heard bantered around but that is subjective. {We've also been called a lot of other things that you couldn't post here............} -
Prayers up for you and yours that your dad has a full recovery.

My biggest concern about shooting that thing down is the "down" part. I would hate for the debris to come crashing through my roof, my kids school, a hospital etc. There is no way to "direct" the debris once you've done that.

Not sure that's going to buff out.

I have been with Verizon, since before they became Verizon. Have never had an issue.
