Thank you so much. That means a lot to me. I know I am reading too much into it... but it still hurts. I feel kinda like I failed.

Ahh, I see. You would think that they wouldn't put that type of dog out there like that...

Civilian dogs yes, but the military dogs will bite just about anyone but their handler, and will even bite them at times.
Most of them are regjects from the German police school. I guess they have to be a little more tenacious than your average police dog.

K9 Yeah I've wanted to do that but the military dogs are SUPER mean. There's no petting or cuddling them on down time.
Tell your uncle good luck! Study study study

Lol, I also have a Catholic background and got nagged at from a few family members because I am not planning on getting married in th church. Um... HELLO!! idiots, my son is baptized Lutheran. I think I would be more opt to get married in a Lutheran church then Catholic.

You sound like your still pretty much in it and not afraid to tak about it, so I assume that you have asked about a Utilitarian Church in your area. I'm afraid that iving in the bible belt has its downfalls in my eyes. GA is very churchy and dont say GD it... I hate to say it.. but I grew up in MI. I'm am now a minority and a "**** Yankee" Its a bit of a culture shock, but its okay

Keep searching, you'll find it

Hmmm...yeah it sure does make you wonder.

I would love to find a Universal Unitarian Chruch in my area but there are none. The area I live in is very right wing if you know what I mean. I follow progressive Chritianity and believe there is not just one way but many. But I have studied eastern beliefs as well. heck...I have a Catholic background...hehe...I love the saints! lol

oh wow! I use to also for a very short, short time. I use to hang out at a place called ravens Flight which was a Pagan shoppe that also had rituals and whatnot...I have been spiritually seeking forever....that's a whole different talk show...lol..I take a little from all belief systems and feel very blessed.

I just responded in the thread....You should see my book collection...I still read and study my "other" practices....this world/Universe is just so darn huge and mysetrious...ya know.

Yeah I'm an emergency dispatcher and our office is in the fire department. I was a cop till I had my daughter but thought one cop in the family was enough and decieded to let hubby have the dangerous job
