ALWAYS better when you talk!!

Ok- so if anyone cares, I am doing a little update on my last blog! For anyone who reads this and doesn't know, this is my public diary of sorts. If I am happy, sad, pissed, quixotic (I just like that word) or whatever, I am going to write it and if someone may be offended or have questions, pls ASK me!! That being said, I had a soul cleansing talk with my BFJ. It was all about stupid misunderstandings and being hormonal and stressed, so I went a little off the deep-end! I am lucky that she knows me well and allowed me to apologize. We both have busy lives and are very bad about returning or making calls, so we have made a pact to talk at least once a week, NO MATTER WHAT-right, J -lol!!! It's getting harder and harder to know who to trust and who not to, and I am glad I have a friend that I know I can talk to if I am feeling a little off-center! Thanks, Toots ;)!! Also- just a word to the wise, if it has nothing to do with you, KEEP OUT!! This just goes out to anyone, no one in particular, who like to butt into other people's relationships. I know too many people who talk shit, and also too many people who don't know when to shut the fuck up about what they've heard! Life is too short for all that bs! So, um, look before you leap and don't count your chickens before they hatch and one in the hand is worth two in the bush and two heads are better than one and many hands make light work and two wrongs don't make a right (ok-is that enough words for the wise?....)

"friends"

I think this title sums it up. I am slightly confused right at this moment about someone I considered a great friend (not talking about you, BFG-lol!) who won't answer my phone calls and hasn't called me back. She is someone I care about in great detail and I am feeling hurt, especially when someone else asked me if we are fighting. I mean what the fuck?? I am way too old for this shit to bother me, but it still does! This is not the first time we have had a misunderstanding and I would HOPE she realized that it always gets better after we talk about it. I guess not! I am not sure I can take this kind of friendship anymore- don't gush to me about how you miss me and we need to hang out more, then ignore me and act like I did something wrong when I haven't! I am very mad right now but I don't want to dwell on it, mainly b/c I am in the dark and I don't want to feel any worse about this than I do. Should I get out of this so-called friendship?????????

The 9........

If you watch the news, you know of the 9 men who died while fighting a fire in Charleston, SC. You know it was in a furniture store and all who died were firefighters. The thing that touches me, personally, is that my future brother-in-law is now a firefighter, as is his brother and many of his close friends. They are all in various City of Charleston bases and a few were helping their fellow brothers, and all are home safe. My husband is a Paramedic for Chas. County, and while all this was going on, he was working at his other job (same type of work, but at a private company). My future bro-in-law just started his job and is waiting to do shift-work. I am selfishly thankful that they both were not there, however I have been married to this type of work for long enough to know that every single firefighter/emt/medic goes into their job knowing what may happen and they love what they do! Each and every person in this type of profession, whether they be mothers, fathers, husbands or wives, understand that they might not come home. It doesn't make it easier on the ones they leave every morning, but speaking from experience, I am DAMN PROUD of EVERY SINGLE FIREFIGHTER/EMT I have EVER known! IF any of my family were to die in the line of duty, I would be heartbroken, but I would find comfort in the fact that they made some one's life a little longer, saved some one's child, or husband/wife/mother/father...etc, and they LOVED doing it! To all families touched by this tragedy, remember why you were (and are) proud of them--throughout all the years of being awoken by the tones of an emergency call at 3am on their volunteer radios, or when they had to cover another person's shift-after their own 24, or when they missed your best friend's wedding or whatever....-- they are the brave men and women we turn to for help. I will never forget..........
