tranquility

At least you kept it contained. Have a great day !! You are lucky. It's awful to feel there's not a thing you can do to help soothe their fears.

Did you pee pee in the floor too ? I need to stop by and say hello again soon, it's been awhile. He usually wants in the closet when he hears thunder but I think this time it snuck up on him. He is really a chicken in a dog suit.

It did close. Not sure if it re-opened but I'm thinking this is a Trick or Treat coupon and it might just be a trick.

There was a big rumble of thunder off Hiram Sudie about 30 minutes ago. Shook the house a little and shook the beagle a lot. He tried but didn't quite make it to his "potty box" in the bathroom, he was close but I guess another rumble of thunder got him about a foot short of his box. I'm just glad he didn't have to poop. Bless his heart

A couple more. Maybe trying to find our "project office" will confuse them.

Love this one.

Prayers for family and friends to find peace in Johnny's rest. Memories are a wonderful way to keep someone always close to your heart.

Prayers for JJ and his family.

Looks like you guys had a great time. I bet everyone was tired last night.

When someone speeds past several cars to get in front of the line, especially coming up to a red light, I like to say something like "that must be the pole sitter'. (Nascar) Years ago we used to call speeders Mario Andretti. "There goes Mario"

I have no kids so I can't help but when I read hand sanitizer my first thought was how much better it would have been if a handful of water "accidentally" was splattered on the front of his pants instead so the other kids would tease him about peeing his pants at school.

I think I'm going to use that one, it made me lol.

When I was a kid my Father used to drive with his blinker on too long, drove me crazy. I would ask him to please turn it off and he would say something like he would eventually need to turn that way so he was being prepared.

I thought about this reading the everything I need to know I learned in kindergarten post. Do you have quirky ways to diffuse your own aggravation or anger when dealing with other people, especially in public ? For example: When I am at a stop sign waiting my turn and someone pulls up, pauses a half second and takes off in front of everyone else my favorite thing to say out loud is "Did you miss kindergarten and never learned to take turns?" When a runner get's off the SC trail and is running in my lane down the road my saying is "See Dick run". I do know it was "See Spot r

Agreed. That was disgraceful. Not everybody wins all the time, every game has a losing team but the difference is this time we had loser fans. The call was wrong, the fans reaction was wrong.

First, it sounds like you kept your wits about you so good job there. I have never had to experience anything like this and can't even imagine your fear during the whole thing. You are obviously smarter and stronger than you may feel right now. When I hear a story that is so dangerous and things worked out in the end I can't help thinking that the Lord was there with you, protecting you through it all. I pray for his comfort and peace to help you continue through the rest of the process and getting back to feeling safe again.

We have a huge Pompass grass in our front yard with black snakes living in it. I wouldn't kill them now that I appreciate the fact that they keep the bad snakes away but I gotta tell ya, a couple weeks ago one almost made me pee my pants when the lawnmower wheel ran over him and he went into a figure 8 near my foot. He wasn't hurt but I looked stupid running while pushing the lawnmower.

Also NCIS - Los Angeles (started last Tues.) - 9:00.

Glenn, I don't know how to add a video, hope this works. If not you can go to You Tube, search Kutless - Word of God Speak with lyrics. The best one I found has an open bible in the thumbnail. It's very beautiful and I know it helps me when things feel out of my control. http://youtu.be/3HJxtDseQu0

No, I don't hate it at all. The rest of this is not directed toward the OP, just my opinion in general. I don't know what to say sometimes but I think it's important to give strangers needing to talk and needing an ear to listen a few minutes of my time. It seems that everyone is so busy these days that we are losing our tolerance of just about anyone outside the tight circle that is our own lives. You never know what a smile, kind word or sympathetic ear can do for someone that may not have anyone else they can get that from and may just need some kind of human connection in t

Or when you get a 35 year class reunion invitation and if that isn't bad enough they want you to bring pictures of your kids / grandkids to share with the others. That's just wrong !!!

New things I thought of this afternoon. At our age we give 50 shades of grey a whole new meaning. I used to bounce off the kitchen island when I would get too close, now it's just a "thud". The freckles that were so cute when we were younger are now being replaced by age spots. Kinky now is defined by the wild crazy grey hair that sticks up through the brown that's left. We know men have issues too, they need to get in on this. I have really enjoyed this post, thanks to all that have made me laugh and not feel alone in all this stuff today.

Not quite yet but I do notice my posture goes to crap if I'm not wearing a bra.
