At 5:03pm on November 7, 2009, peter laurimore said…: Hey going good how are things in your world going? Getting any run's?

At 2:25pm on November 7, 2009, Douglas Alan Brinkley said…: Not bad, working today we assisted with incoming honor flights at the Airport. Trucks were checked, we sat down for briefing, completed EMS training, the Tower transferred on mutual aid call, and the Wagon is about to head out and conduct fire surveys / inspections. Life is good Thank You very much, how are things on your end?

At 8:59am on November 7, 2009, tony marzo said…: things are good thanx. ski season is starting which brings higher call volume for the next several months. lots of folks from sea level do not understand what high altitude does to the body. then add alcohol, not sleeping and not eating well. that often adds up to a visit from me and a more expensive vacation than planned. fun for us though. we always welcome firefighters to come visit us. even get some turns in at the resort. peace

At 9:21pm on November 6, 2009, Ben Fleagle said…: Hey Christian! Good to hear from you! I hope all is well in your world, getting back to where you want to be? Things are good for me, life isn't always easy at any point, but life is good. Are you back with the department?

At 9:10pm on November 6, 2009, CindyCBCardin said…: Christian,

Hi! Thank you for writing. All is well in my world (kinda sorta, depending upon the moment of the day!). How's everything with you?

I rarely sign on here anymore, but, thankfully, still get emails when someone writes. It's an excellent site (needless to say!), but I am not a firefighter, so don't tend to check in all that often. That being said, I have made some REAL friends on this site, and FF's are always very close to my heart. The closest.

Are you on Facebook, by any chance? Several of the FF's I met here are on it, too, and we have continued to get to know each other there. Write back and let me know.

Take care, and be safe,

Cindy

At 5:57pm on November 6, 2009, Brad Hoff said…: Hey sister!

It's going pretty good..winter is setting in here and I'll soon be boardin, tubin and ice fishing..well figting some fires too! Glad to hear you are staying motivated and keeping a positive attitude on your rehab and return to the "Greatest Job in the World"! You are still young and should bounce back in no time compared to an old hosehead like me with my old bones...LOL

Praying for a speedy recovery sis!

At 11:51pm on November 2, 2009, Sean Stumbaugh said…: Cool. I had knee surgery a few years ago and had some issues with the pain meds. I think the most important thing I learned was to slowly reduce the dose so your body can adjust. I tried going cold turkey and kinda freaked out!
You'll be fine. Again, I hope it goes well!

Take care,
Sean

At 6:04pm on November 2, 2009, Sean Stumbaugh said…: Hey Sis,

Things are going well here, it's nice to hear from you and see your update. I found it kinda funny that you are going to Reedley College and Fresno Pacific. I went to Reedley and my wife went to both schools.
Don't worry about the Fire Service, it will be here if you decide to come back. If you don't you'll always be a member, and have many sisters and brothers standing by.
I hope your surgery goes well. One word of advice; ween yourself off pain meds slowly, but as soon as you can! Those things are bad and have side effects. Some can cause hearing loss!
Let us know how things go and keep up the good work. Get your schooling done, there is always time to work!

Take care,
Sean

Just a quick note to see how you're doing.

At 8:55pm on January 29, 2009, Shawn Tibbitts said…: I just had another thought on your problem, ( I only know so little info, in reality I should keep my nose out) However Your husband is a buisy man as well as yourself with your dreams, is it possible that due to your buisy lifes the two of you have been drifting possibly for awhile and its now just coming to a head? Perhaps it may be more benificial to not bring the work worlds into it for now. and instead try to bring the love back to your lifes you might not even have known has started to drift. With a strong bond anything is possible. Your two worlds a vary similar after all your both in the buisness to change lives and make the world a better place. You know I watched the worst movie last night, I hate to be secretly preached to and thats what this movie did. It was dumb, corney and I kinda liked it. Not becouse of the movie itself but becouse of a thimble of info I walked away with. You might want to check it out it might help. But please realize i am worning you how dumb of a movie it is, try to take it as a comedy with a good message. It called "fireproff" dont laugh... Just check it out, and try to keep an open mind. Its really easy to pick on it so at the least it will make you laugh. Good luck little sis, I hope things work out for you. Try to remember loved ones and dreams go hand in hand, you cant really appreciate one with out the other.
