  1. Searched the rIish times website and came up with no such incidents. Checked the Obits for the last week... no match. Did it happen in the states or in Ireland?

    Happened in ireland. I did the same searches with the name included, but have found nothing. Starting to think it didn't happen, but havent heard from him for a week. Which is really really unusual

  2. Sorry to hear of your loss. One would need a bit more detail to pursue such information.

    This is what i heard. He died when his vehicle crashed into utility pole. Wrapped car around the pole. He is 25y.o and a firefighter. Happened 2days ago. Had a passenger with him who also died. Can pm the name if that would help, but would rather not post

  3. I have heard of people being deathly allergic to many bugs. Found out yesterday that my husband is severely allergic to buffalo gnats. He got bit on the neck by one and within 20min his neck was 3x its normal size, his lips were huge and he was covered head to toe in hives. I forgot to tell him not to take a warm shower, so that made the hives worse (my bad) I'm telling you these things are nasty. So off we went to the ER and after 75mg of benadryl and a shot of epi. my husband is a proud owner of an epi-pen for gnats (FYI those things are expensive as our ins. does not cover them) That is a whole nother story tho. I have lived in IL for all my life and never had we had these worthless little bugs. Anyhow I just thought that I would post this because if you live anywhere where these things are you may find more people out there with this reaction to a stupid gnat. (dont get these gnats confused with the "pecker" gnats) I have been bit by bull/buffalo gnats and usually they leave a sore, red lump that will go away within a few days.

  4. I think that every vollie squad has at least one of these. We have one that is grossly overweight (dont think they own a shirt that will cover the flab hanging out) and we have one that will roll right by the squad house and not even stop, will show up in POV every time. Your kinda danged if you do, danged if you dont.
