I noticed that too.


Having Ringman at your house is like having Chuck Norris, Superman and the Pope all rolled into one at your house, wouldn't you wake him up first too?


If I wanted something torn up, maybe.



I'm sure that's how he sees himself in his own mind, and its his story so.....

This. Totally. Anyone that goes back into a fire for anything is beyond stupid.

If you inhale 2 good breathes of toxic smoke you are unconscious. IE you are dead unless damn lukcy that a fire figther finds you.

I was amazed at this statistic of 2 breaths while in fire school.

If you're going to an area where you think you might need a gun, don't go.

Have an emergency bag with enough food, medicine, flashlights, and such for three days.

Wear your seatbelts.


These are good, too. I really like #2. Thanks.

One time her husband came to visit. We had a large wood burning stove. We sat down near it and he put is feet up on the stove while we enjoyed shooting the breeze. In a few minutes he asked, "What is that I smell burning?" Another time he was visiting when I was gathering poles about fifteen feet long. He wanted to help me and the other guy. He went to the middle. On three we lifted. Almost immediatley the pole got really heavy and he called out "uag" and fell over. He straddled the pole!

The night of the fire, after he was outside he yanked off the skirting. With that action the flames roared up inside the house.

Ah, he is a congenital idiot; you should have simply said you were visiting family.

Ringman can and does quite often.


The Mayans had it right. If you�re going to predict the future, it�s best to aim far beyond your life expectancy, lest you wind up red-faced in a bunker overstocked with Spam and ammo.

Some one called the fire department. While we were waiting the adults started carrying things out of the house hoping we could save somethings. Then I noticed the other adults were coughing. To my surprise none of them were bending over to stay below the smoke. The smoke was a heavy layer about four and a half feet above the floor.

So if you're doing that in a fire bend over.

Another thing, I think it was last year, is a first responder pulled a woman from an car at a collision scene. She was so badly mutilated he didn't realize it was his own daughter. What happened is she was struck from behind knocking her car into the oncoming lane of highway traffic.

This reminded me to keep your steering wheels straight until you actually start moving forward.

Anyone have more to add?
