hey we nearly went 24 hours without a single post, did you guys get all raptured up? Randy I could see but surely not Rich or Matt... not even Ray or Blake... maybe Rob is krytonians get raptured too.

Surely not, huh? :sneaky2:


:Matt is always a good alternative. :thumbup1:

Now to need to be giving him ideas on my account, friend. :rolleyes:

You thought I would get raptured and not anyone else? :thumbup:

I mean, no, no, when I get raptured, I want all of you to come, too. I know there are other believers here. I also thought today of the verse in Matthew that you quoted today, Garry, and knew that today would definitley NOT be the day of rapture. :thumbup1:


...Matt is always a good alternative. :thumbup1:...
Let's not pick on Matt, either. I vote for a kinder, gentler TAT! :wink2:

[jakespoppy]

:001_tt2: Well, that way I will know at least one person will miss me and be looking forward to my return. :lol:
Hey, we'll all miss you. We'll be looking foward to your return, although we'll look forward to the Blakeflood kind of like the rapture, except we know for sure this will come in 21 days! :scared:

This night is going to suck! I only have three officers and one of them is not completely trained. We have a Patient Watch and they just brought in a shooting. I don't even have enough officers for my fixed posts, let alone anyone to respond to anything that does come up.

maybe some tribe in the middle of the amazon cut off from the rest of civilization all got raptured, that's why we don't notice anybody missing.

Good news out of Manitoba....

RPC reports that the dam breach is probably going to be closed sometime this afternoon. He hopes to be back home in about a week. So far, things look much better than expected on the damage-to-property front.

Hey guys! GUYS!

One of you American folks seem to be over here in Ireland today. Everyone's makin' a big fuss of it n everything. Seems like a really nice guy too.
He must be some kind of big shot 'cause he even got to meet our president 'n all.

Anyway he flew around in a helicopter shakin' lots of hands and big smiles. We had crazy strong winds but they managed okay and I hear he said some nice thing too about us.

Any of you guys know him? It was all over the tv all day...

Yes, I know whose over there but everything I thought of was going to sound rude. So I thought it was better to keep my mouth shut or my fingers off the keyboard as it were. :lol:

[Barber-Eile]

Ah fair enough. It's easy to understand how it's a much bigger deal over here than over there. The amount of money gone into both his and the Queen's visit here earlier in the week makes me sick.
Yes it's good they visited, good for relations and good for morale etc. but spending millions repaving Phoenix Park and repainting the Áras and holding lavish banquet dinners when this country is so financially near shutting down is ridiculous.

Ridiculous? Yeah, I'll get no argument from me there.

"In September 2009, Congress passed and President Obama signed the Enhanced Partnership with Pakistan Act, which authorized $7.5 billion in aid to the country over a five-year period from 2010 to 2014. The 2009 appropriation tripled the rate of assistance that the U.S. had been sending."

Maybe we could divert some of this $7.5 billion away from a "partner" country that seems to have either harbored a terrorist, or was at least incredibly incompetent at discovering he was right under their noses, and then refused to be completely open and cooperative in the follow-up investigation after we slipped in and took care of him, and instead send some of that $7.5 billion to help American disaster victims, like those who've lost their homes, jobs, and family members in Joplin? :huh:

Frustrated and madder than hell right now. God, if I didn't have to come back form this trip, I would be happy. I need to just leave, get out of here. Maybe I should start job hunting when I get home.

Well, you certainly can hunt for another job if you think going another direction will make you happier.


Didn't you used to be a moderator? I guess that would account for the "under armed guard" suspicion. How did you escape?

Escape? They don't escape. Just look at Rob. :lol1:

No, that's the depressing thing. I have no marketable job skills at all.

Well what do you like doing?

That is a good question. I have lots of hobbies. I really wish I could be a photographer! Not much chance at that though. I still hope to get on a police department though.

[gollum83]

I would think that would be doable. I mean you have experience working security and you have connections with the police down there right?

[Swampfox]

It scares the willies out of me. Hold tight.

[blackfoot]

I would think that would be doable. I mean you have experience working security and you have connections with the police down there right?

Yes but connections do not help as much as people think. Heck, my current boss was very high up in the department just a few short years ago when he retired and is still close friends with Rusty, the Police Chief. But police departments have a lot of people trying to get on. You can easily have 600 people applying for 15 job openings. Heck, Indiana State Police are nearing the end of a hiring process and the number of candidates was a lot more than that! It isn't an easy career to get started in. I had an excellent shot at the Sheriff's Department at the beginning of the year but I was not able to make one of the steps in the process. They don't have alternate dates for testing and such. They tell you be here at this date and time and you have to be there. If not, you can apply next time they are hiring.

Maybe you could try another state to see if you can qualify. You are able to move now. Look for alternatives!

Good point. After all, I would kind of like getting away. Not escaping, just something new. I have always wanted that anyhow.

Now is as good a time as any with the divorce.

Well, not to put too fine a point on it, but make the time. Everything else should take care of itself. Just look at the stuff you have to deal with day in and day out at the hospital. It's clear you know how to handle yourself.

First point:yes, you're right. Now is the perfect opportunity, before I get tied down to friends or a job or whatever.

Second, I have no question that I would do a great job at it. The last process I went through was just a fluke. Normally there is nothing that can stop me. I have went through the same hiring processes before with the fire department. So at least I know what I'm getting into.

Anotehr oportunity with police or fire may open up, if you keep a goal like that in mind and remind yourself that your current job is not where you will be forever, it may make it easier to get through the day to day.

I am starting to get feelers out for different departments that are hiring. Rumour has it that the IPFW Campus Police here in town will be hiring soon. Like I said, Indiana State Police just hired and are going to again before the end of the year but I really do not want ISP. Fort Wayne City are hiring soon but they chose to go through the last list of applicants and hire the top however many that didn't make the cut last time. So, getting things out there to watch for now.

I only say that because there's a band down here called "Rotel and the Hot Tomatoes". They're a great event band, and yes, they have three "hot tomato" singers. "Rotel and the Hot Potatoes" would never work!

2a) interesting "street performer" today... Asian guy who got $1 outa me for his triple threat talent of being able to murder a guitar, Nirvana, and the English language all in one sitting. His sign, in Chinese and English, read something like: Only guitar asian street player in vegas.

1. RPC might be getting to go home in the next day or two or three.

:thumbup:


2. I thought I saw the mod-formerly-known-as-Slagle-Rock today at the Vegas Summit. However, I soon realized that it was just some guy dressed up as Superman. The fraud quickly gave himself away when I realized that he was about 2 feet taller than Slagle (he was about 6 ft) and also he was Hispanic.

:lol::lol:



2a) interesting "street performer" today... Asian guy who got $1 outa me for his triple threat talent of being able to murder a guitar, Nirvana, and the English language all in one sitting. His sign, in Chinese and English, read something like: Only guitar asian street player in vegas.

I had a great night. I was able to skip out on a birthday party that was important but, for personal reasons, I really didn't think I could handle going to. My few friends were there for me and kept my mind off of it as best they could. We saw Hangover II and then to a bar. Probie tok me to IHOP for breakfast and then back to my car. I just got home,, Going to bed and putting all of this behind me. :thumbup1:

Spent a good bit of today convincing my mum to go to hospital and then going to hospital with her. She's gotten a chest infection which is quite serious but she's on a drip now so should be ok. I hope we caught it in time. She really should have gone last night.

Anyway what have I missed?
Oh and I have potentially good news regarding working in a barbers but I won't know until Tuesday...

If you can take WestJet, they are miles better. If you are heading to Toronto from elsewhere out east I have heard great things about Porter Air, free beer is one thing I've heard, that and they fly into the downtown Toronto Airport.

Hmm... not sure of my options other than CanAir... haven't heard of the others. But, some US carriers I imagine will get there somehow. Thinking NY-area to "The Peg." Looks like, no matter what, I'd have to hub in Minnesota.

What's the issue with CanAir?

They will get you from point A to point B but the customer service is hit and miss, you may get good service or horrid. Westjet witch does go from New york to the Peg is great service, my Wife has flown them 3 return flights in the past few month and had not a bad thing to say.

That makes sense. Minneapolis is a major northern hub and I can't think of too many places that fly directly to Winnipeg. Besides, could be worse, they could always route you to Hartsfield-Jackson in Atlanta. :thumbdown

Thursday morning! Actually, I hope to go home ad go to bed for a few hours Thursday morning after work. I am planning on being at burnWood's house in Chicago in the early afternoon. After we hang out, I figure I will drive for a few hours until I get tired. Then I will pull over at a rest area and sleep. I should get into town on Friday morning. You have to get you entry permit from the ranger's station within 24 hours of your departure. Thought I may hang around town for the afternoon and sleep in my car that night. Early morning on Saturday is when I officially shove off.

Blake, just hope that the Forest Tent Caterpillar population is low this year. Because if it's not, you're in trouble. I remember back in 2001 they had a bumper crop of those little buggers and it translated into a huge spike in the black fly populations in the western U.P. You couldn't go anywhere without having a cloud of flies trailing you. Heck, our yellow lab looked black whenever she went outside the camper. Yep, they were that bad.

:001_huh: Odd connection. Caterpillars=black flies

[gollum83]

:001_huh: Odd connection. Caterpillars=black flies

The caterpillars are a major food source for the flies. More caterpillars equal more food. More food equals more flies, a lot more flies.
