This is why I appreciate @SGFPolice. After multiple calls helping me with mental health issues, 3 months after I became homeless and 6 months without seeing me, this officer left this note at a library I frequent. Thanks to @springfieldlib for making sure I received the note.

@remmy_308 @KatieMagnet I have the paperwork in place, but my decision can be overruled by a family member who disagrees or the hospital just listing me as a full code because "you might change your mind."

[Gail @spockfan1]

@remmy_308 This video shows what most of you do so well: remember the forgotten and reach out to the marginalized.

@remmy_308 I'm on hospice. Christmas a dispatcher sent an officer to my apt so I had someone to give a 🎁 to (crocheted ornaments). It saddened him that all he had to give me in return was a badge sticker. I treasure that sticker because it came from his ❤️.

@ofcrdeonjoseph My prayers are with you. I can definitely see the family resemblance.

[Gail @spockfan1]

@servicerotties Kuno, you made me cry tonight. At least they're tears of healing.

[Gail @spockfan1]

@BrianMorse1 @Kacen Fingerprints, heck! Palm prints foot prints and DNA!

[Gail @spockfan1]

@KatieMagnet Hey, we had a fire alarm go off at my apt building at 0630 on my birthday.

Suggested to the nice firefighters that I'm not yet so old that I need a fire dept standby when I light the candles on my cake. 😇🤣

@SpitefulMidget @chaos6esu Not to mention the ignominy of going to the A&E and having to explain you were injured by a 67-year-old woman on oxygen.

[Gail @spockfan1]

@SpitefulMidget @chaos6esu I think this male needs to look up the definition of harass. If I see a guy doing this to another woman I might "accidentally" drop my big-ass oxygen tank on his foot. Both of them!

Should also explain life in prison is not a deterrent for seniors. Sentence is that short, huh?

[Gail @spockfan1]

@adamfare1996 Touche! Along the same line how many people who think a stoma is disgusting have had skid marks in their pants?

[Gail @spockfan1]

@N0TINSERVICE All it's going to take is one driver using the bus' brakes to stop his vehicle and those two are going to be the embodiment of FAFO.

1st 🚌 crash I was in, the car driver rear ended the bus.

@TinyWriterLaura Laura, I worked at Walmart for 7.5 years and that dress (?) she's wearing may not be high class enough to qualify for the people of Walmart website.

[Gail @spockfan1]

@JonjayNeedham1 One of the most positive things you've done is to give people the face of someone walking beside them on their own journeys.

Sometimes when we feel we can't take another step for ourselves, we can take that next step for someone else.

[Gail @spockfan1]

@remmy_308 @BikeSgt The writer of that idiocy might want to look at hiring requirements for police depts. Most professionally run depts require minimum 2 years of college or military service and many require a 4-year degree.

The officers have been college students, just not self-entitled ones.

[Gail @spockfan1]

@davie_broo @ofcrdeonjoseph Dave, please accept support from the other side of the relationship. Police officers pulled me through dark times in my life. I have no doubt that there are people like me in your life, people whose lives are better because you wear the uniform.

[Gail @spockfan1]

@Cole_Jim_1 @SEANYDAY Not always, Jim. Foreign follower here. Some of us take the time to determine who is giving an informed opinion and look for people like you so that we learn.

I may not always respond, but I am listening and learning.

[Gail @spockfan1]

@BrianMorse1 I agree with you about the farm way. In fact, I'm hearing about more and more vets who make house calls when an elderly and ailing pet has to be euthanized. That way the pet dies peacefully in familiar surroundings.

[Gail @spockfan1]

@BrianMorse1 She says the story shows she can do the hard jobs, yet it doesn't sound like she found anything remotely hard about killing a defenseless dog, let alone telling her children she'd killed their pet.

[Gail @spockfan1]

@LMikeyJ @Jeanett31885980 And there are those who try as hard as they can to surround you with love. I'm standing beside you, Mike.
