This thread Will never die!

It's for the same people that use braille signs on the doors to surgical suites.

 

feel the force Luke. You do not have to see with your eyes. You are a Jedi.

 

Good for her, RH! And kudos to her parents, and you, who I am sure had a hand in guiding her, and helping her become the wonderful young lady she is today!

 

"WE" had an incident of sorts here friday afternoon, about 6 pm. It involved 5-6 Phoenix police cars and at least 8 officers. Seems that "someone" made some threats to "commit suicide", and it was overheard by someone on a phone conversation. Probabaly, a damned good thing too.
The results are/were bad, to say the least, for me and the rest.
Not exactly sure what the outcome will be even now, as it has been satisfed to the police and local authorities inquiries....But, the incident remains fresh and foremost in everyone's minds...It was found out later on, that this was NOT the first event of this type, but this was the first "exposed" to the public and the authorities....
The people involved directly with this NEVER once saw fit to tell anyone, or come forward with any information....(and they call themselves ADULTS!) I am not sure what the final outlook is, but it is apparent that a certain amount of cohesion and certainly any TRUST has now been negated. My oldest son, the deputy here, is not at all happy, and is as upset as I am over this mess. It did involve a weapon, but it was NOT discharged, ( not even loaded thank GOD!).....It could have escalated into 1 of 2 scenarios, both of which would have been horrendous. I intervened as soon as I was able and defused the situation, took away all weapons and I kept the Police quite happy, as they did not have to enter an house with someone reported to have a loaded weapon, and threatening. As it now stands, there are only 2 or maybe 3 of us left. All plans to make the April move, have been scrapped.
Yes.. It happened in My home, with my son, and his girlfriend.
All I could do was to intervene and remove the problem.
Now my 20 year old has ruined his life....And has smeared my name in the process.
At first I thought it was a sick joke. I assure you, I had to talk with a lot of Phoenix Police officers to cool down that situation, it was about as real as it gets! Then I had to go and get my son after a psych evaluation by 2 psych's downtown...He was cleared, but NOT by me. There's the problem...(Me.) I no longer trust him, his girlfriend, or the girlfriends mother. It created a mess here, for a lot of people, not just family members.
I am actually amazed that further (much more severe) charges weren’t brought.
It seems the girlfriend has been wanting to leave for the past 2 months, and my son decided the way to "force" her to stay was this "stunt". Not what I needed, I have to say. This could have easily turned into a Federal case of kidnapping, use of force, etc.. The girlfriend has moved out 2 days ago, and now I am left dealing with a hostile and aggressive young man. The only good part of all of this crap is: He is afraid of me. ( that's good and bad at the same time!)
He tried me once physically and I warned him to back off, he didn't and as a direct result: he went flying across the room. He learns the hard way. I love my son, but there is a line one must never cross....in my book he has crossed over that line.
Now he is intent on leaving, and I have no say about that. He is a young (adult) I really wanted to say moron/idiot/a88hole, and he is 20 years old. I guess it's time for him to leave and find out about the reality of life.
Yeah, it's REAL...not rumor, or my imagination! And it sucks!
Life is hard at times.....But some make it even more so by their actions, as they do not think ahead in terms of: what happens next?

 

It amazes me, how often emotions plow under common sense without a single prayer or pinch of fertilizer.

 

The trick is to never get less than 5 cups in your system....

 

But, CRC, the question is.... where are you today, right now on that curve?

 

I cant live without at least 2-2 liter bottles of RC cola a day!
Hey! It's my only vice left! Coffee?.... we don't need no stinkin' coffee!
LOL! ( now where that RC cola go? I Gotta have my fix!)
Got a tow hitch from harbor fruits...then I had to buy 4 chains, and 4 links, seems they are so cheap because they come with nothing in the box! Had a greeat sale on this weekend, parking lot was full! Then when I got inside it was worse! I was going to pick up a few items on sale...found out that you have to have the coupons or the sales are not sales at all...like those last days before Christmass, where the retailers jack up their prices 300 percent, then give it to you as a sale item and 50 percent off! To think if I only could have known in advance, I'd have saved over $300.00 on just a couple of items...I didn't and they didn't get a sale!

 

There is no problem that cannot be solved by the use of high explosives...OSBCall me Snake.
