SomeoneI know showed up with a great t-shirt. It said:
My Husband had an affair and all I got was this lousy t-shirt
LOL - I love it!
Hey jak, yep - I was volunteer. We did both ambulance and fire as well. Mainly went out on grass fires and roll-overs. It was open range, so there were some pretty nasty car vs. cow accidents.
When I started the only vehicle we had was an old Korean War troop carrier that had been converted to a tender. We worked our butts off, though, writing grants to get in equipment and training.
Sounds like you're doing well - glad your party was fun.
