Wildland firefighting is no picnic but it's what I know. No floors to collapse on you. No roofs coming down. No confined spaces. Unless someone really screws up and places you in a bad spot the biggest risk is usually from falling trees or branches.

Yes, we get to see plenty of wildlife but it's usually at a distance and they're trying to get to safety. Have seen a few snake bites over the years and of course plenty of Abby encounters on the roads but other than that NOTHING serious.

Abby encounters?!? I'm NOTHING but a 2-legged dear, not a 4-legged deer and most likely you won't find me in the woods. At least, not if I can help it - lol

That's a cool story. I think that makes at least 3 of us NOTHINGs so far who have met our spouses while on the job.

Yep, I was NOTHING but including you in the threesome because I remembered you mentioning something about meeting Mrs N through some kind of work connection.

Abby10 05-28-2019 08:15 PM

I wish I didn't have to leave the NOTHING party, but I'm on schedule for an early wake-up tomorrow. Have a good night, everyone.

Never been married and not for NOTHING. Each of my two brothers have had two wives though.

Did get a "yes" for a kind of marriage proposal but so far that has not worked out all that well.

Listen, my brother. LOL. I'm gonna save you a bundle of cash and heartache and a big Pepto Bismol Bill. I've listened to you but if this flight didn't get off the ground to well then it probably won't land NOTHING but badly. If you are into pain carry on. When you are not looking or trying that's when the most beautiful Chick of your entire life will fall from the heavens. Maybe not a Blonde or a Nurse but so what. You chosen lot in life may not be that particular avenue now. Be patient brother Tal. :doggie: That's Pure Love for today. Woof.

If you do find someone let me know immediatly so I can advise you about the Blood Donations. There is one detail I would share with you at that time. Take Care and keep up the great work at home. I know you give it your all. :pray:

The truth?

So far I have gotten NOTHING out of this thread!

Can someone please interject something clever into a NOTHINGness comment?

Nothing but negativity..............hopefully it's a quick visit.

No. Not in any pain but feel a little bad for the woman who said "yes" in 2017 as she was/is one of my favorite people. I should have tried harder with her but stuff happened in 2017-2018 and other guys got her attentions. Things are going quite well now or seem to and with a lot of thanks to the NOTHINGs. And Facebook has helped a lot too.

One of my blonde nurse friends is having a hard time and I do hope she looks at NOTHING and is doing well. This is a different blonde nurse than the 2017 lady. NOTHING might cheer her up.

I had a friend in Reno who I did a lot of chores for who had been born in 1900. She had been a nurse and was born and raised in Reno. Her son was a Reno cop I think. I visited with her every Sunday afternoon for seven years or so from about 1976-1983. Things got a little tense though after I committed to BYU Law School as she hated lawyers but improved after I dropped out and came back to visit on Sundays. Then went to get a MA in Librarianship and we moved out of Reno the Summer of 1984 and I got a job near Palo Alto, CA.

Liked her take on things from the advantage of having lived a long time. We corresponded a bit but she probably did not like it when I returned to law school in 1986 but in different state than Utah or Nevada.

Tal, you are NOTHING but funny - you got a yes for a "KIND OF" marriage proposal?
I'm sorry that it hasn't worked out that well.

She had been kicked out of the dog park so I had a hard time getting in contact with her except for cell phone and letters. Not for NOTHING. Her pit bull mix got a little too aggressive for the dog park owners.

I told her I would write a book and open stuff up but that has stalled a bit. I am working on it though. Things keep changing on me. She moved and things started popping in Nevada, Minnesota and the DC area. Not to mention California.

The book is kind of about my looking for love while the world thinks I am crazy with many variations though. It is an auto-biography so it changes too. I talk about A LOT of movies.

I am NOTHING but careful and protective about my dog at DDRR. Baxter only weighs nine pounds.
I'm glad you said they leave the small dogs alone, but I still worry about the hawks or eagles carrying him off.

I too worry. It is the owls that might get a small pooch and I have never seen one of those at the dog park but have NOTHING but heard them.

Whoa! Who would ever think that your and our old neck of the woods would be having weather problems now? NOTHING but a damn shame. I feel so bad for the people who have really had it rough lately weather wise.

Are Deer good swimmers? I really don't know. Can you imagine poor Bambi having to make a choice, either hop in the water or face the DeerMobile! Not any great choice to be NOTHING but made. Take it slow there Kemosabe! :pray:

NOTHING but made it home in one piece. Lots of water, some very cool lightning that K would have enjoyed seeing, but luckily I was driving away from the storm and not into it. All you could hear at work today were cell phones alerts (both ours and the customers) going off every 15-30 minutes for hours on end. I can't tell you how many "go to safety now" messages I got. The skies went completely dark around 5pm, the rain was driving hard and sometimes even sideways, and debri was banging onto the big windows at the front of our store, but I was NOT going down to that disgusting basement - lol. We decided running over to the restaurant next door and hitting their wine cellar might be a better idea. :wine: :)

Did Sales Of Niagra Go Up So To Speak?

We spent about 2 hout ruling out the Sleep Number Bed. It's ruled out. Comfortable as hell. With all the Bell's & Whistles almost 8K. We could make a bed outta $20 bills and be just as comfy. The search goes on. I have been given full authorization to purchase. Very Dangerous Situation! :faint::pray::1rotfl:

NOTHING but good news that you made it home safely. Now that you know you can have severe weather you should make up a survival pack that you can take into work with you. It should contain all your favorite drinks and snacks.. lol

You are NOTHING but a wise woman. It's coming to me that I may have first heard that line on a late night boys session in the olden days of NOTHING. Been looking at some of those posts lately. My, how much fun those guys seemed to have amusing themselves. :ohdear: At least they had some degree of respect and would wait until I signed off for the night.
