Agreed. However, I probably would have asked why the heck they weren't doing anything. If they responded that they were not allowed, I would have done something. Heck, even if I stood there for 30 minutes and they did nothing I probably still would have stepped in.

Rest in Peace Dr. Kevorkian

More devil's advocate.... If there were other's standing on shore who, from the sounds of it, had the same amount of training and equipment as the professionals (none), why didn't they help?

Just food for thought. If they are not allowed, due to job rules, to rescue someone in the water, and they do, that could have major ramafications. Say they sucessfully rescue the guy. The guy then sues. Due to the fact that they went against policy, they are laid off/put on leave/fired as well...

If they do this again next year, they need to do a better job of promoting it. I did not hear about it at all on the news or radio. This is the first I heard about it.

First time I shot a 9mm the noise and recoil made me close my eyes and loose my aim, I shot WAY up. The recoil would have been heck on the kid. I agree the slide is tough, I'm also 5'2" and worked at a company that made sights and scopes for guns. I was around them quite a bit. We do not...

DH and I had a horrible time thinking of names when I was pregnant. Due to my field of study, there were a number of names I was not fond of. There were a number he was not fond of as well, his more due to his "dating" exploits. My favorite name, Jenna, went out the window because all he could...

Workers can get "gut feelings" about foster parents (and bio parents as well), but without evidence, not much...

First, I'm amazed there has been nothing new. Second, it bugs the living daylights out of me that news articles refer to her being found in her husband's home. They were married, she lived there, that makes it HER home as well.

My wonderful DH is not a typical romantic. We'll usually go out for a "just the two of us" nice dinner in February or something, but nothing really on Valentines Day. I told him he broke me. I was always into that stuff. This year I was planning a work trip around a really busy schedule. I have...

Ummmmm, weird.......

Honestly, if I saw a sketch on the news that looked like my boss, I would probably think "Wow, that looks just like my boss" and then blow it off. I would never think my boss capable of a crime and probably wouldn't even give it a second thought. And I'm someone who follows crime and knows it...

Lol, you're just wrong! I keep opening your threads!

BBM ~ I WISH DH had that "problem"..... ;)

Are men in nighties really that hard to find?
