We like NC. We have been here 20 years and probably won't be moving back. It was tough being this far away though when my dad was sick and then trying to help my mom deal with all the things after his death. My mom & most of my hubby's family still live in NE Ohio.
My college (OSU) roomie lives in Oak Hill near Jackson. Pretty country.
yea thats about all it is around here is pretty no i like it here theres just not that much to do (Unless you like atv's or hiking) and employment around here is bad. my girlfriend and i are thinking about moving to charleston or flourence not sure what will happen in the next few years lol
No paid (you will notice I did NOT say professional) fire fighter jobs? Around here many of our volunteer departments are having to pay daytime staff because the volunteers are working out of the immediate area and can't run calls.
Well- I've had this since High School when I would DJ parties. Then Gonzo is a shortend name for my last name Gonzalez & 69 was the year I was born= DJGonzo69
sailfin, have you ever had a problem with yours running into rocks? or scraping her face on the rocks? my friends, i think hits the rocks more than not. ill try and get a picture tomorrow but we starting calling her scareface lol
sailfin, you could not have picked a more beautiful fish to use as you name.
wwest, my hats off to you as a firefighter. it takes extreme courage and dedication to walk into a situation that everyone else is running from. since 9/11, my admiration of a firefighter has increased ten-fold. never forget the 895 brave men and woman of FDNY that anwered the call and many gave their lives in the line of duty that infamous day.

thanks walrus, it means alot to hear someone say that when usually we get yelled at for not showing up sooner or not having all the answers all the time. i cant wait till im a paid firefighter for the money but it will always be the same reason, to save lives. we have fatal car wrecks seems like everytime i turn around and car wrecks where some people are injured and some are ok, we have been a department since 1953 and we are proud to say we havnt lost anyone in a fire. i have been on the department for about 5 years now and i wouldnt trade it for anything.. thanks FW
also i have a poster on my wall to remind me of 9/11 picture of the towers before with a ghost shadow of them burning overlayed. at the bottom it says.
Total Deaths 2,752
Total Injured 2,261
Firefighter Deaths 343
Police Deaths 75
American Airlines Flight 11
WTC North Tower 92
United Airlines Flight 175
WTC South Tower 65
mine isn't as witty as all the names veriann put together for me, its just UM=University of Miami (where i got my BS in marine biology and am currently working at while pursuing a masters- go Canes!) and PG for my initials.
Well back in the early days before the internet as we know it, back in the days of BBS’s and TRS-80’s from RadioShack. I needed a “handle” while playing the game Pimpwars (don’t ask). So my buddy said “you are so black hearted” and my first name is John and the rest is history.

Well, I was in luck and got to use my name since it wasn't taken yet. I like the simplicity of it. Otherwise, I would have to use what I normally do on other boards....which I haven't visited in many months.
