And you keep my dick pictures under your pillow why?????

Some of you have probably seen the reports of the tragedy that not only happened in my neighborhood (5 houses down!) but also struck my firefighter family last night. Many of you may (or may not) know that I have been volunteering at the Sterling Volunteer Fire Company for the past 15 years. Last night my wife and I were finishing our dinner when I noticed a dispatch on my cell phone for an outside gas leak just up the street from my house. These are generally routine calls, however, last night was anything but normal. Our crews arrived on scene to find an underground 500 gallon propane tank leaking. As they normally do, they request a hazardous materials response to assist with these types of calls. Within seconds the home literally exploded. Our house shook like a plane crashed on it. I bolted out front and saw the huge plume of smoke and a fireball that was taller than the trees. I immediately knew what happened. As a company photographer I grabbed my boots and my camera and bolted. I was there in less than 3 minutes after the blast. It was literally like a war zone. We lost a brother last night. And 7 others from my fire company were severely injured. A few were released this morning, but others remain in the hospital. Please say a prayer for them all..... I want to thank those of you that reached out to me this morning. You have no idea how much that means to me. My wife and I, and our house are fine. We are devastated at the loss of our beloved friend firefighter Trevor Brown. And we are anxious to get the rest of our firefighters out of the hospital. Please keep them all in your prayers.... Here is a local news story about the incident: https://wtop.com/loudoun-county/2024/02/possible-house-explosion-rocks-loudoun-co-2/

I miss playing lots of things going on. In the past 2 months lost my dad than my mom and now 2 weeks ago my younger brother age 61. Now I gave up quit my job got my SS. Well the good news is I got bored driving for Doordash work when I want. I live in the middle of the desert in AZ. There going to have great Wifi in 2 weeks! Cant wait to play again! Miss you people!

XtremeIdiots would like to wish all members celebrating their birthday today a happy birthday. BigRedTwit (67)fireurza (38)

Sucker!

Here I thought you were the Queen in that area..... I guess you need a King in that area then. I'm super 'Pee Shy' so I can go for hours with someone new. Maybe that might do the trick for yea... someone Pee Shy. You always get me out of context. Like when I say, "I love you TBB", you always say it's because of something else like you cooking a wonderful meal, when I just love you. I for one should know your unit works. I have so many dick pictures from you, I can point you out in a lineup. But if you want to keep proving it.. I'm all game.

what. lol

Thank you Skuz!

Mine either - @Icequeen and I will get together and prove him wrong - orders for tape replay being taken

Nice read like the cats where is the water the boat is on?

Congrats!!

magnifique Marck une vie très riche c est super !!

Congratulations @WeednFeed but the clan is making a huge mistake. Promoting weeds in the server can cause multiple problems. It becomes a tripping hazard if you grow it all over. The smell will have all the players distracted while looking for strains like Norther Lights, Mimosa, The Grand Duke and many others. You won't be able to keep people out of the servers and the players will be having way too much fun distracted from real life. It's a really bad idea.

Sorry to hear this Smeg! Prayers for you and Trevor's family including your firefighting brothers and sisters

Congratulations Weed

Congrates Weed!

congrats @WeednFeed!!!!!!

Happy Birthday to you both.

CONGRATS!!!

Congrats Wayne! That's the very good news of the day!

@major-mark63 What a great read! Thank you for sharing.

Congrats you deserve it... Welcome to the crew

Burying propane tanks in Virginia is common practice. Most people don't, but there are some that do. Many people in the area rent their propane tanks, thus they are usually installed outside. The propane tank did not actually explode. Propane is liquid and is denser than air so it will collect in the lowest point in the house, which makes a more dangerous explosion risk. Propane had leaked into the basement of the house. The house blew up, not the tank. There are probably 30+ Fire Marshal's, investigators and the ATF onsite as we speak, investigating. Who knows if they will be able to figure out what caused the ignition.

Nice! Congrats Weed! Now you can listen to even more of our whining

thank you Skuz

Thank You Skuzapo!

Hi all put this in but will find somewhere else to place it so it reads better (different wall)

Thank-you skuzapo

Wait......there is nothing wrong with getting off or my lack of ability in that area. Pppppfffff

My Wife developed atrial fibrillation this past summer and has been trying several ways to get her life back to normal. Lifestyle and diet changes and medications galore but she is still struggling from the serious fatigue that can come from this. Very early this morning I took her to the Hospital for her Ablation procedure. I can't stay with her during this since it is a out-patient procedure they will do today. She will be put under and have a "minor" invasive procedure while she is out on her Heart to laser the area that is short circuiting and kill those cells. This allows the Heart to rewire itself and get back to normal rhythm/beating and normal blood flow. But I am hoping for some XI love towards her because anytime they put you under it is Major and she is my much better half and my ride or die partner in crime. Thanks in advance for everyone's good vibrations for her quick recovery.
