I'm a police officer for a town of around 20,000 people in central Kentucky. I've been with the department for 11 years. For about 3 years I was the Deputy Police Chief for the department, but in September of last year the Chief and I had a difference of opinion on the the future of the...

Spoony, I didn't realize you were in Oak Ridge. That's my home town, though I moved away a long time ago. I noticed you have a University of Kentucky email suffix? If you ever commute to Lexington from Oak Ridge, I'd be happy to meet and buy you dinner somewhere as a way of saying thanks for...

I voted "Care". I understand the points that some posters are making about minor cheating not being the end of the world to them or their groups, but cheating just irks me. When I DM we all roll on the table so everyone can see. Die fudging is pretty difficult to pull off in that sitiuation...

I can't wait. I'll be picking up my Sony console in a few weeks. Of course it'll be a PS2. ;) I have never owned a Sony console of any type, but I love games like Ratchet and Clank, and Jak and Daxter so I figure I can drop $129.00. I'll proably get a PS3 around the time the PS4 is...

Thank you folks. You saved me. I'm working third shift in a small town, and I was taking my two days off when the site first went down. I hadn't realized how little there is to do around here between 2300hrs and 0700hrs if I don't have ENworld to keep me entertained. :)

I think she agreed to get the check...No wait, it's a free dinner. Must be something else. ;)

I was just about to hit 300, which was a bunch of posts for a longtime lurker like me. I didn't start really posting until after GenCon last year. Oh well, I'll just try to get back up to 300 by this year's GenCon. :) Looks like I also lost my community supporter status. I'm sure that will...

Thursday 2:00 to 4:00 Looking forward to meeting more ENworlders than I did last year at my first GenCon. The Con totally overwhelmed me on my first trip.

I wonder if this will require the city to also construct special detention facilities for transvestite prisoners? I wonder how they handle them now? I'm not sniping, this is an issue that many public services are going to have to face in the future. Our county jail currently segregates...

Don't get the pre-packaged Krispy Kremes. The thing about KK doughnuts is that you can get them fresh, and I mean still piping hot, when they finish a batch. They have a lighted sign that they turn on to let you know when they have fresh doughnuts.

Krispy Kreme doughnuts. MMMmmmm Dooonnuuts. :D

Something similar did happen to me several years ago. I was attending a Halloween party in another town with a friend from work at his brother's house. The party was for area law enforcement officers, and employees of a major factory in the area. My friend works at the same police department...

Wow, this could be the most practical use for Legos ever. ;) Seriously, that took some imagination and motivation to create. Pretty cool. Jay

I have loved storms since I was a little kid. I went on a trip to Cancun with my family when I was twelve, and I saw a storm out over the Gulf near sunset. It was absolutely magnificent. The clouds looked dark purple, and I could see lightning striking from cloud to cloud and sometimes from...

Does anybody remember "Damnation Alley"? I think it was a made for TV movie in the 70's. All I remember about it was these cool (for the time) multi wheeled military type vehicles, and some giant scorpions. I was kind of young, but I remember enjoying it at the time.

Put me down for German Chocolate Cake. Mmmmm...Cake.

Let me start by saying that the infant's death is a tragedy, and that it breaks my heart to hear of it. Several people on the thread have suggested punishment that would keep the people involved from having other children, and thus prevent a similar tragedy in the future. While I certainly...

Thanks to everyone for your support. I have taken some time, after coming home from work, and I'm starting to get back to normal. Because my own son is close to the age of the little girl I had to take away today, I think I had some empathy overload. I appreciate all of the great responses...

Folks, I have had to do some rough things in my law enforcement job over the last decade, but today was close to the breaking point. I have had to work fatal collisions. I have had to try to comfort a woman who's husband had just shot himself. She kept asking if he was going to be Ok, and I...
