When really good stuff happens to really good people. Isn’t that the greatest? Case in point: Dame’s husband was just selected as FIRST PICK for a local fire department. This is a person who, long before he ever even APPLIED to be a fireman, you would look at and say, “You know what that guy should do for a living? Fight fire. That dude would totally kick fire’s ass.” He just has that look about him. And now, his dream of fighting fires, and rescuing cats from trees, and tending to emergencies of all sorts is finally becoming a reality. He is going to be tied for the best fireman ever (sharing that honor with Bunny’s husband).
Anyway, the cutest thing is that he totally cried like a girl when he got the call from the Fire Chief with the good news. It’s been like MONTHS of excruciating agonizing waiting to find out - so it was like one of those cries that you have when you’re so happy and relieved all at the same time that your body doesn’t know what else to do but cry. And Dame promptly video taped him telling his family, her family, their friends, etc. and everyone of them totally cried. And Bunny and I totally cried watching them all cry on video, because it’s just the BEST THING EVER when really good stuff happens to really good people. And Dame and Mr. Dame are so genuinely impossibly good that you almost just want to punch them in the face, except that if you did they would probably just look at you and go, “Awww - come here and give me a hug, you!” so instead you just end up loving them even harder. THAT is how good they are.
Anyway, the community officially just got a little more safe from fires last night. CONGRATS TO MR. DAME!!!
THIS IS AWESOME!!!! A MILLION CONGRATS, MR. DAME!
I have the wonderful honor of knowing and associating with local firefighters (paid and volunteer, active as well as retired), and the firefighting community is hands-down THE most fantastic nationwide brotherhood EVER! Again, congrats, Mr. Dame!!!!!
WOW! That’s fantastic! Way to go! I’ve always thought my husband looks like he should be a fire fighter, but he’s an electrician - chance of fire I guess, but let’s hope not!
Congrats to Dame’s Dude!!!
YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!
How incredibly AWESOME for Dame and Mr. Dame!!!
WOO HOO!!!!
Congrats to hubby!

Really really REALLY MEGA COOL!!!
When I was a kid one of the things I used to want to be when I grew up was a fireman (uh… firewoman?).
It’s one of the most incredible professions of all, CONGRATS!
(big dork me getting all weepy just reading about you telling how you cried watching the video of them all crying…)
Congrats! You can fireman carry me anytime!
Well, then Dame’s hubby must be HOT. Because ALL firemen are HOT.
Oh, and good for ya’ll! Congrats!
Congratulations! Good luck and may God keep you safe always.
Congratulations Mr. Dame!!!
I’m all gushy over these comments. Thanks so much everybody. Oh, and you can now stop thinkin about how hot he is…Don’t make me get all gangsta on you (you’ve seen what I’ve done with Katherine Heigl)
Great things don’t happen to good people often enough! Congratulations, stay safe, and thank you for helping others in their greatest time of need.
