**** After 2 adventurous years as a 911 calltaker and dispatcher I have decided to go back to school. I still have a notebook of stories to share as well as good friends at the call center I left who keep me posted. The blog will continue as long as I have postworthy material :) Thank you to all my readers and to the officers, paramedics, fire fighters, and dispatchers who continue to serve the public in their hours of need.
A grown man calls complaining that his mother is kicking him out of the house. She threw his crockpot at him and is threatening to sell his "TV and stuff."
Twenty years ago when I worked at a small town newspaper our office was right next to the fire department. So during slow times (it was a small town so there were a lot of slow times) we'd chat with the firemen. I remember one told me "Don't ever get a crockpot. You'll burn your house down." Yikes! I've nearly burned down my house without a crockpot, I certainly didn't need any more help. Needless to say, I've never had a crockpot.
Yesterday a 19 year old girl called and said she wanted the EMS to come down and check to see if a bug got into a hole in her head and set up residence there. She had just gotten out of drug rehab. I sent the cops too. Yes she was a mental case, and no there was no bug. I didn't ask if there was a hole. I really didn't want to know.

I want to know what self-respecting man owns a crockpot. That's worse than being grown and still living with mommy!
