It is another one of our fires, this one, per map, in an isolated area.

Ah there are days, all those skills once thought to be non important... are coming to the fore once again.

On a funny thing, just put the shooting vest in the drier. The poor thing had a shall we say, au of smoke to it. In fact, intense, so it had to be washed. But if this other fire becomes major (as in actually put actual structures at risk), well it will be smelly again.

No primitives at the campfire.

Just like riding a bicycle, eh Nads?

[AprilRazz]

Probably had her on the radio because they were afraid that she would kill a patient.

The vest got washed

[Skul]

The vest got washed

No, no, no. She said she only put it in the dryer.
Here, have a look.

See, no washing involved. 

[thundley4]

The vest needs washed after being on nadin for 5 seconds if not less.

 What is a shooting vest, really why take this thing to a fire ????
How does a shooting vest get so wet it has to be placed in a cloths dryer ???

I do believe Nads is using terms that we outsiders do not know.    This would not hurt if Nads spoke in terms we understand as civilians who do not understand the lingo she uses.

So Nads is speaking in the lingo of the fire fighters, grand if she wishes to communicate to that one comunity.  For the rest of us she is speaking in terms we just do not understand.   

I am sure she knows a poopie suit, but darn 95% of those that read her have no idea what this is.

Have to read behind the lines with Nads, I take it a shooting vest to be protection from flash backs on a water line to fight fires.   

Nads needs to realise that she needs to explain what she is is talking about, not just expect the general public to understand what a shooting vest Term is to fire fighters.

Interesting woman,   just needs to realise that all these technical or lingo is not in most of our life experiences.

Nor in her life experiences either.

You know Vlada Mitty's making this stuff up, right?

You don't understand what she is trying to convey. She is an INSIDER.  She knows STUFF about almost every human endeavor.  She doesn't need to explain herself - people who know STUFF and are fellow INSIDERS will appreciate your genius and breadth and depth of knowledge and experience. 

The rest are below her.

[EagleKeeper]

Like a moth to the flame.

nads just can't help it.

Does she even see the derision she recieves?

Nah...there are about 10 DUmmies not on her iggy list.

It's almost like that one lunatic that got tombstoned and locked herself in a rubber room of a blog.

[Traveshamockery]

Zappaman tries to one-up Nadin.

2. I can relate

I just threw some underwear in the washer that was smelly.
With this heat, they will probably become smelly again.
I too am doing 2 things at once...listening to music and reading.
Oh, and series, writing this which I guess makes 3 things!
And my toe hurts from banging it into the door.

More later as things get...interesting.

I shoot between 1500 and 2K rounds a month and have yet to notice a lingering smell of smoke on my clothing.

Mz. Mitty should try a new tactic. Instead of tell the DUmmies what she knows, she should try and pick a subject that the DUmmies don't know about.

3. Have not worked in the field in a while

So doubt it. I used to also work dispatch. Seven radios, woohoo.

So not only was she a cop and an EMT she was also a dispatcher. Amazing. I can picture her answering the phone when it rings, "911, what's you emergency"? The caller says, "I'm being attacked by Chuck Norris, 50 members of Ultimate Fighter, and an assault team armed with full-auto weapons". The Noracle responds, "Let me grab my knife and I'll be on my way to save the day!!!!"

I bet she was also an astronaut.

I keep waiting for her to claim that she's married to Morgan Fairchild and has seen her naked.

I am starting to like zappaman.

Add dispatcher to Nadin's resume?

[Ballygrl]

I refuse to say zappaman is adorable!

  I'm not saying he is adorable. I am saying that I am starting to like him. Only when he tears into Nadin of course..

My hero. She is so proactive that doesn't even wait for the fat signal to light up the sky. Always scanning the airwaves, ever vigilant, listing for that faint cry for help.

I can kind of relate to her being able to multi-task and listen to several radios at the same time.
During the "terrible" Bush economy back when people had jobs and money I took a vacation to Grand Cayman. I went to the beach. I put on a pair of dark, mirrored sunglasses and multi-tasked my viewing. I even saved a life. Because the sunglasses were so dark and mirrored my wife couldn't tell that I was multi-tasking which prevented me from suffering a terrible death.

No fair, you got to take a vacation.

I, too, took a single vacation during the evil Bush administration.  In penance for that decadent act, I have not taken one since.

I think my last one was in 2009 and it and the O broke me. During the 'terrible' Bush economy I was going on at least one vacation a year. Sometimes two. Had money to spend on the vacation and still had money to pay my bills at home AND stick some in saving. Their master Zero fixed that. He fixed it so I no longer have to be stressed out about what I'm going to do with all of the money that I was making. Now I just have to stress out about whether I've got enough money for gas and groceries.

I don't regularly schedule vacations.  I got to visit my family in North Carolina for Christmas in 2003 and spent the week lying in bed with bronchitis.  My next vacation was going along with my mom and her husband to Alaska in 2006.  Pretty, but I was just along for the ride... it wasn't really "my" vacation.  I had to cancel the one I scheduled last year because I couldn't afford it.

I have one scheduled for October this year.  Fingers crossed.

Yes, but nadin wears a Gnomex shirt.
