My wife is po'd too. She's going to standup at the monthly meeting next Thursday and demand answers. Her and a life member looked in the bylaws and could find nothing about taking away points already given to members. She's also going to demand that the board meeting notes start becoming public to the fire department members as we have no idea on anything discussed or decisions made by the board.

I will simplify this for you.

1) She did all of her duties at some point throughout the year except 1
2) That 1 duty she asked the Chief to give her access to and he never did
3) There is no set definition on how much you have to do to fulfill the duties. In reality, she is a higher ranked officer than my wife, but the listed duties are the same.
4) There is nothing in the bylaws that gives anyone the authority to take points away.

Zero. My 25 points were still given to me even though I missed many drills that I wasn't at to photograph and put stuff online due to being at baseball stuff for my Son.

We are now up to 8 people looking at the house today, 1 tomorrow, and 1 Sunday (although I haven't confirmed this one yet).

We now have appointments to look at our house from 9AM - 6PM today; about 9 setup. I guess it's going to be a very long dinner out with my Son tonight.

Just had a run in with a gold digger while filling up my car. She walked past, then came back asking how fast my car is, how much something like that costs. She kept getting closer and then started saying stuff about my shoes and how my watch looks expensive, asking what brand it is. Asking if I'm married, got a girlfriend, then said oh here's my number, maybe we can go get dinner sometime.

Not going to lie, she was super cute, but with that approach I'm not interested. To me, it was about the financial benefit she saw, nothing else.

Not in this city. If I was in a bigger city I would have thought that.

Are the gold or gold-plated one stars BNut receives worth more than just regular one stars? Is there another level of one star that he should be aspiring to? Titanium? Uranium?

Call her, take her out.
Show up in a friends beater with $20 sneakers and a Timex on.

See what she does

That might be fun, but with the limited time I have every week it's not worth my time

How much does something like that cost? I have so much reclaimed wood sitting around that I could make several of those.
