Keep up the good work, Dennis!

We're in the middle of this northeast snowstorm tonight. We're supposed to get 5 to 8 inches of the white stuff. There will probably be school cancellations and all that. 'Tis the season!

I'm working at home tonight and am prepared to do it tomorrow too.

Take care everyone!

HOWDY everyone....geesh, has it been THAT long AGAIN since I've been around? With the holidays here so are the STUPID asp criminals, I swear, burglaries are up 200% over the summer, it's sad I literally RUN from scene to scene, processing them and then spend HOURS upon HOURS doing paperwork, research, running warrants etc, etc but I LOVE it......and BTW unlike CSI, we DO NOT solve the crimes in less than an HOUR

ANYWAYS........I've got everyone that has asked for prayers covered! I'll TRY to stop by a little more often, I swear!

Until tomorrow, "Mat the Good Lord bless and Keep You" I'll leave the light on!

Dennis

Officer,

By now you KNOW that evil recognizes no holiday; this is particularly tough on public service officers at this time of year, yet...rest assured that those inside, warm and fuzzy at their revelry, will sleep better knowing you're out THERE.

You're right about that Brother.....along with burglaries being up domestic violence is even WORSE :cry:

With Michelle being the only female officer on the force, she gets all the calls for photos and interviews with the female victims.......it breaks my heart and makes me FURIOUS at the same time when I see some scumbag twice the size of his wife/ho/girlfriend beat the living daylights outta them

I have ZERO, ZIP, NADDA tolerence for these men, if I had MY way.....well, let's just say they'd be talking one octive higher!

ANYWAY.....that's nuff fer now!

Ed, rub that snowstorm in, would 'ya? As the old folks around
here would say, we got nary a flake... I'm expecting you to
make a snow angel for me, buddy... :lol:

Dennis, Bill's right - we depend on our officers to be there
and enforce our safety. I worked so many holidays as a
nurse - sickness, just like crime, knows no holiday.
We're the spokes that keep the big wheel turning!

But - I thought you HAD to solve the crime in an hour....?? :eek:

As for the scums, bring 'em to Tennessee. A few good 'ole
boys can load them up, take them for a long drive in the deep
woods, strip them down, paint them with honey, tie them
to a tree, and, leave.

Now, that's Justice!

I don't need to make a snow angel, Annette. We have you!

Actually, an even better way to handle them would be to strip them naked and make them walk barefoot in the desert (in late June) and then tie them to a Saguaro Cactus with wet rawhide and pour sugar on them.

Awwww.....thanks, Ed! :wink:

Oh, yawn....fifteen more minutes of work 'til I can bust out of
here....wait a minute - did I say work? LOL, I am actually
caught up for a rare moment in time, and, can sneak online
for a short bit! Most of you know that I never get time to
log in here during work hours.

Amy, sounds like you're having lots of fun getting ready for
Christmas! I think I have gotten MOST everything that I'll
need. My Mama is having surgery on her foot this Thursday,
so, I'm taking off of work Thursday through Monday so that
I can help her. She's going to be using a walker, unable to
walk on her right foot, except on the heel, so, she's gonna
be slow moving. Guess who's cooking the big Christmas
breakfast this year....? *waving Your's truly! LOL, I told her
that she could sit in a chair with her foot elevated and do
the supervising, this year! :lol:

Thanks for the
cranberry oatmeal cookies, btw - they were delicious!

Oops, I think that by the time I shut this computer down, get
my jacket, and, lock up, it'll be time to bail out of here!

Everyone have a good one!

~Annette~

arkess7 · #291 Postby **arkess7** » Mon Dec 12, 2005 8:27 pm

Oh Annette I hope her foot surgery goes well..........I used to work with this lady who had surgery on both.........I was a waitress for 6 years.....and this lady..(who was such a sweetheart) and we still keep in touch to this day.....she was a waitress for 33 years!!!!!!!!!!! Can you believe that!!!!!! and she had her surgery about 23 years in of her work........WHEW!!!!!!

Very chilly here .....saw the first frost this morning taking my daughter to school............all the lawns in my neighborhood looked like snow on them!!!!!!!! :lol:

31 degrees this mornin'

Hope all is well.........we have the fireplace cranking tonight.....back down in the mid 30's.....and i made some hot chocolate to go with those cranberry oatmeal cookies!!!!

Have a nice evening!!

Hi everyone, I just finished my "chores" for the night and am finally sitting down to relax. It's good to hear that everyone is moving forward.

We are working on a model volcano for one of my sons, for a school project. We have a cardboard skeleton made and once the glue hardens, it'll be ready for the clay. I wouldn't want to be the custodian the day that they set off all the volcanos in school. The rules say only baking soda/vinegar volcanos are allowed. Rats! I thought that filling that baby with gunpowder would make a fine volcano. I mean, some volcanos explode, don't they? Maybe the excitement would be worth a lower grade......

Miss Mary · #293 Postby **Miss Mary** » Tue Dec 13, 2005 8:37 am

Hey all.....checking in for a bit. Breeze, praying your mom does well with surgery. Same for Jeremy, praying for you as well!

Everywhere you look now, stores, intersections, grocery lines, everyone is rushing around. I have to do this, or that, list in hand. It's getting crazy!

After I dropped off my daughter Laura to school this morning, I had a mom driving a mini-van just pull right out in front of me. She was trying to turn left from a stop sign, onto the busy road her school is on. Well, this mom was tired of waiting for an opening, both directions were full of cars. A steady stream, both ways. She just pulled right out in front of me, I had time to brake but she realized I was much closer and we could have had an accident. Had I not been paying attention. What dumb thing did she do, besides the first dumb decision? She gunned it, on the turn and bounced off a guardrail, twice, then almost lost control of her car, she's in the middle of the road, I'm long past her at this point, a bit shaken but our cars were far apart. Never really in danger of colliding (b/c I saw her coming, I slowed way down). She managed to gain control of her car again but at what cost? To save a few minutes, she wipes out an entire side of her van? I don't envy that explanation.....I drove home, very carefully after that.

Seems everywhere people are impatient, so that's my heads up to my S2K family. Watch out for the other driver, more than ever, until January 1st! LOL

You got that right Mary. I was in Toys R Us parking lot the other day, just got done shopping and was pushing my buggy to my van. The women parked beside me had her reverse lights on, for a while, like she was doing something in there, so I proceeded to pass her car to get to my van. She then starts reversing while I am in back of her with out looking. I yell YO. And she stops, but then rolls down her passenger wndow and yells something or another at me. I was like WHAT? She pulls up beside me but won't roll down her driver side window and was saying something, that wasn't nice. I mean you almost plow me down and then you start to yell at me. Ewwwwww, people like that burn me up. If that would have been me, I would have been apoligizing for almost mowing someone down. Got to love that Christmas spirit, :roll:

Annette, hope the surgery goes well for your mom on Thurs. You get to play the mom for a while, huh? lol.

Good luck on the project Ed. School projects are always fun.

Off to the grocery store. JOY! I will pick up some KK's my way back, its right across the street from Publix.

Have a great day! 8-)

~Kelly

Miss Mary · #295 Postby **Miss Mary** » Tue Dec 13, 2005 9:15 am

Kelly - So glad you spoke up. That lady had no right to yell at you, you were doing her a favor and saving your arse at the same time! Your story reminds me of an elderly couple I saw backing up slowly in a crowded shopping center parking lot, just yesterday! First off it was not your regular lot, it was behind a restaurant, an upscale center with shops, a Starbucks, a small bed/breakfast, spots were angled odd ways, then some were directly behind businesses. This man was backing up at about 1 MPH, in a huge caddy. He just kept going and going. Wife sitting there clueless as he was. Another car wanted in front of his and he was trying to pull into a spot. A male pedestrian was cutting thru this lot, he's watching too but cuts in behind this caddy and a row of parked cars. Beamers, Mercedes, etc. (note, I drive a simple Honda Civic!). He was about to plow right into a Mercedes, at an odd angle, taking out a fender, or more. I yelled, hey stop. The pedestrian looked at me, as to say - lady let him wreck! I just said hey, I just don't want to see someone's car get hit! I knew this man would have continued driving on.....he really shouldn't have had a license, to be honest. So that little mishap was avoided. I'd like to think someone would stop another driver from plowing into MY car!

All I know is you have to have your wits about you these days.

Ed - this time of year is notorious for projects, papers, parties when specific supplies are needed. It's so darn busy! I can see why some parents decide to home-school their kids. I often wonder if their home life and schedules are much calmer than families with Elementary, Middle and HS aged kids? Especially before the holidays. If I had my way, there would be no projects until January 3rd!

*vb tappiong his foot waiting for the KK's to show!!* j/k hehe

Mary & Kelly, don't ya love the "Christmas Spirit"!!! Fortunately it is out there, especially when there are people like you two around.

We're almost done with the shopping, now getting the house in order is another matter!!! :roll:

Actually it is in pretty good shape too, but there are always those last minute things.

Annette, special prayers coming your and your mom's way for successful surgery and a speedy recovery for both of you!!

#297 Postby **streetsoldier** » Tue Dec 13, 2005 10:37 am

Just received an urgent call from my stepdaughter; her husband beat her up last night (lumps on her head, two teeth knocked out), she had him arrested, and Debi wants to relocate her and the grandchildren (boy, 3; two girls, 7 and 14) down here.

If it isn't one thing, it's another...the fun never stops aboard the good ship "Bootheel".

#298 Postby **vbhoutex** » Tue Dec 13, 2005 10:43 am

Special prayers being said for a good resolution to thsi problem!!!! Keep us posted Bill.

#299 Postby **streetsoldier** » Tue Dec 13, 2005 11:22 am

It's not as if he was drunk, "on something" or ???; according to what I was told, he's been threatening her AND the kids for some time.

Note: this is the kind of snake Dennis and I would LOVE to apprehend in flagrante delicto. I have NO use for abusers.

arkess7 · #300 Postby **arkess7** » Tue Dec 13, 2005 12:13 pm

I dont blame ya one bit streetsoldier........she needs to get out and get away from him fast.......and for good!!!

I was in a abusive relationship when i was 16.......i dated this guy who was 3 years older than me and was with him through out my junior and senior year in high school......why i stayed with him so long...i'll never know.........I finally broke it off with him when on my graduation night......i wanted to party and he didnt and he pushed me down in front of his car and punched me in the head and my head hit the bumber of his car and cut my head open somehow........he rushed me to the emergency room and that was it......10 stiches in my head....right wear I part my hair in the middle.....and there is still a scar to this day.....

I will never forget my graduation night.........and then after i broke it off he started stalking me for awhile and would flatten the tires of my car when I was over friends house........uggggg!!!!!! so glad I didnt have his children :eek:
