Future Fireman

Here's an easy way to make a meal. Ask yourself 3 questions: 1. Does it have protein? 2. Does it have a fruit or veggie? 3. Is the total amount of calories less than 800 calories. Answers: 1. If yes, protein should be approx. twice the size of your palm for males. Size of your palm for females. If no, GET SOME! 2. If yes, don't eat corn or carrots, they maybe veggies, but eat green veggies. If no, have an apple. 3. If yes, balance this out for 3 meals, total should only be 2400 calories in a single day. That's an easy way for dieters to determine what to eat. If no, Why the Hell are you eating Fast Food?!* *Please note, that was not directed for those who are always on the run. If you can manage your calories, you should be fine. Hope this helps dieters everywhere! Mike

Sounds like they need better dispatchers. Mike

Hey guys, there's a EMTBravo New England Topic that has photos having BFD work on a car fire with NO SCBA. Sage, that's a good idea. But what happens when you have a FD who isn't afraid of EMTBravo? Mike

It's not even a VW, it's a GM and powered by electricity! Mike

Let's see, $5 million lawsuit, approx. 5 bucks for a Big Mac, that's 1 million of them. Now, a Big Mac meal has 1240 Calories (burger, med. Fries, Lg. Coca-Cola). That's ALOT of calories! Although a Big Mac by itself has 540 calories. Mike

Police Bagpipes This will put ANY Irishmen or bagpipe players to shame. Mike

And how old are those commenting on it? Teenagers- 20 y/o's? (Roughly speaking) With comments like those I propose a new dept for cities and towns, the "FFUYA Dept." Free Foot Up Your A--. Anybody want a job like that? I bet some with anger issues would. Mike

My 2 cents, turn the kid around and kick him in the butt. Or to drive the stupid kids home, Kick him or taze him in the scrotum! (the balls) I've witnessed a LACK of care for parents in my generation. Not only that, but some kids think it's alright to consume alcohol underage. Needless to say I've never had a drop.I almost wanna open a can of whoop--- on them for 1. being stupid and 2. being disrespectful. :angry: One more thing, since they were skateboarding in a no-skateboard zone, the cop should've broken the skateboard. Make the little punks upset, they weren't following the law and they need to know the word consequence. Mike

I'll take a guess, 50 cents/gallon. Give or take 5 cents. Mike

I can't believe I'm the only one not complaining! It's winter! Get used to the cold! (Then again, I walked out in a -0o windchill with shorts and a heavy jacket on ) Mike

Well, my condolences to the Sarge, but I pray to God that He will deliver justice to the idiot who did this wrongful deed and sentence him to life in HELL. Mike

My 2 cents.... Probies got 2 eyes, and 2 ears. (and for gas alarms, 2 nostrils ) Here's the big equation: Listen twice as much as you talk + look at potential hazards twice as much as you're looking at your beer in the bar. That should equal a DAMN good firefighter. Mike

Now, if only I could hit the targets! Mike

That front end says "Look out or I'll crush you!" Now, if only they put the cab on a monster truck. Mike

And too think I had no idea what I was doing. Mike

That one was FUNNY! Real shame this year, didn't seem to be alot of funny ads. All I got was repeated ads for House M.D. Mike

I can't believe we lost. Good game all you New Yorkers. Mike

Alright, I sent an e-mail to my local explorer post advisor about joining the post on sunday, and he has yet to get back to me. I'm very impatient when it comes to e-mail replies because I check it everyday and I assume everyone else does. (Assume= You make an ... out of U & ME) I need to get over that issue, I know, but I'm letting this guy have a week to reply back to me, and if he doesn't, a letter to the station will suffice. I'm still leaving in the possibility that he may check his e-mail once in a great while, but, when you're ansy about joining, you get REALLY impatient. (another thing I need to work on) So the question is how long before I send out that letter? Mike

Chris, to bump up the prizes, I'll give ya 2 million! Mike

On second thought. I won't take all the remaining boxes. Mike

1559 Hours, 1 minute left!

Steve, someone else took 18, I no longer have it. Mike

Steve, I've already got points down for 18 and 98, but 34 is yours. Mike

You're forgetting about the Bravo points "Bank." I got 3 million in reserve! Mike

Agreed. Not only that, but think about the apparatus. Instead of twice daily, now it's only getting checked once every 2 days. (7-5 day shift, 5-7 night shift. just a generalization) Think about it, say something breaks and you don't know about it. Now it goes unnoticed for a much longer time. God forbid that its the pump's impeller or the truck's hydraulic line. Mike
