    Default My dad...

    At 5:00 am this morning, my dad and some other firefighters left chicago and drove firetrucks and other eqiupment on their way to NOLA. I'm so proud of him, but Im scared to death something is going to happen to him... they are going there to pump water out of the city. My dad really is a hero, always has been, and I love him so much... but i'm still really scared. I didnt sleep at all last night thinking about it... should I be scared? Or am I just being dumb?

    Hi Honey,

    I think the situation will be under enough control that your dad and his colleagues/friends will be safe. You have a very kindhearted and wonderful Dad. The world needs more people like him.

    You must be so proud! Wow! Don't worry, by the time he gets there any troublemaking stragglers in NOLA will either be rounded up or too sick to cause trouble. (Right now stranded pets are being rounded up, so it must be safe enough for firefighters to be getting kitties and dogs out of trees, in a certain way.) If he lasted this long as a firefighter, he'll be fine. Don't worry.

    I can understand you are scared. I would be too. But remember he is a firefighter and is trained very well and has experience. He is a hero!

    I'd be worried too, just out of love! But he'll be so fine! He's trained to do stuff like that! I'd be bragging to everyone I ran into! ::beams

    They will all be looking out for each other. That's what they do. And now they know what to look out for. Hope you can stay in touch with him. Very sweet that you love your father so much. Hope all turns out well.
    I loved going to strip clubs; I actually made some friends there. Now things are different for the clubs and for me. As a result I am not as happy.

    Customers are not entitled to grope, disrespect, or rob strippers. This is their job, not their hobby, and they all need income. Clubs are not just some erotic show for guys to view while drinking.

    NOTE: anything I post here, outside of a direct quote, is my opinion only, which I am entitled to. Take it for what you estimate it is worth.
