since this started in May, I've had a ton of support. first, my wife's "social network" mobilized and I was getting flowers (flowers? :wtf: ), sweets and casseroles. then, you guys picked up the baton and I was hearing from PJ fans from, literally, all over the world . thru it all, the fire department guys I had worked with for the last 25 years were largely silent. I mean, I got plenty of emails and stuff but no real outpouring. but I know these guys...I know they care...but I also know firefighters are conditioned to hold their feelings in because we see some bad crap that could cripple you if you let it.
so, anyway, today I get a package from the FD. inside is a story of how they decided to have some rubber braclets (ala Livestrong) made to show their support. they are poop brown with a poopy looking font that says "Save the Pooper" I guess they figured they would get the minimum order (35), sell them to the 20 guys at my old station, sell the other 15 and send me the proceeds for a good dinner. well, right from the get they were 100 orders behind. so they ordered 100 more. and then another 100. and then another 50. the whole fucking Las Vegas Fire Department is wearing "Save the Pooper" braclets for me . Of course, I'm wearing one too.
they also sent a "Save the Pooper" plaque with pictures of me in my first and last year that says "First In, Last Out" (a FD thing about going into a fire......I think it's kind of a poop reference too ) and pictures of people at all the stations wearing the bracelets. man, did that warm my heart.
as icing on the cake, a fellow SF Giants fan went to Detroit a couple of weeks ago. Giants vs. Tigers. The story has it that a couple of Giants wore a "Save the Pooper" bracelet on the field .
You guys are all awesome. words can't express how much your support has meant. I'm going to beat this shit!! kick its sorry, punk ass!!
Wow, that's an amazing effort and display of human kindness. You've no doubt surrounded yourself with great people over the years Rob. But, great people attract other great people I think. This was great to read, thank you for sharing.

Thanks for making me laugh again, Rob. I'm amazed by your sense of humor through all of this. Keep hanging tough and don't forget to laugh! Best to you and Codie!
You know, we could create our own saying and get them distributed. My name for Rob was always "Smart Ass". Not sure if that's what others would want but I'd be willing to help in getting this started if we can come up with the appropriate words for the PJ fans

Yikes! We could have fun with this. At Rob's expense of course. Rob?
Rob, Ring of Bile. Poopy Magoo. WWRD, What Would Rob Do. For those situations you're not quite sure what to do. I'm sure given enough time and going back and reading some of Rob's posts I could come up with others.
Just having fun Rob, I do hope you're as well as can be and getting better. Hang tough and keep kickin some ass!

Firefighters are some goofy ass funny as hell bastards who know how to take care of their own. Humorous is an inadequate definition.

Sounds like they got your back (side)! The FD guys...
I could really wear one of these too. Get the FD to order up another hundred, and they will be gone in a flash. Could really be a great help on expenses... WE would love to help more, so dont hesitate to ask.
If you can get the ball rolling or give me a contact, I can take it from there.

You know, from Gracie's point of view it's probably Save the Pooper Scooper.

Save the Pooper is brilliant....I really had to scroll back a bit as it was the first thing I saw on the thread and I was very confused. So glad you had a great time at EV. Much deserved. I told my son about the bracelet....being only seven, he lay on the floor hysterical for a few minutes at the thought of the writstband....it was so funny to watch. Now he is allowed to say (in private) three things a seven year old usually doesn't get to say
STUPID as in "Cancer is stupid"
ASS as in "I'm gonna kick cancer's ass"
and now he as POOPER! as in "Save the Pooper" ....priceless.
Perhaps if you PM me, we can exchange bracelets. Sam's is orange with "Superman Sammy" on it....not as cool as the brown Pooper, but he will wear yours with pride!

I am actually working on having my buddy procure more bracelets. Right now there are none to be had....not even on ebay
I absolutely LOVE the thought of shipping them to you guys, all over the freaking world!

Congrats on finishing your Rad sessions! That must feel great that you're done with that, and you even got to go see Ed!
The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.
