Look everywhere except the mind control box in your living room!
Wow! I won’t have to work all week long. Cool beans. Dumb saying I know, but Wizard came up with it.
Peace & Love
Thanks! No, I really mean it.
Every time I hear of another gun crime in a school or where a young person has been involved I wonder many things, not least of which are those you outlined.
Not having guns here, as a right or a rule, it is alien to me to imagine having such a thing in my house. I would be paranoid wondering if I’d put it away or even whether I’d ever have to use it. It’s not that we don’t have gun crime. We do. But, as not having guns is the norm, any mention of them makes me freak a bit.
Police don’t even come armed here as a rule.
A good number of years ago, in 1996, a gunman ran amok in a school in Dunblane, a Scottish town, killing sixteen kids and a teacher. It shocked us all to the core. Still does, thinking about it.
I wouldn’t know what the answer could be given that the ‘right to arms’ is part of US heritage. But I find it scary to imagine a scenario where I would ever have to use a gun or have one pulled on me. Different cultures right enough.But, as you say, the very least that should be done is ensure that no access can be gained by young people. Or anyone who shouldn’t have a hold of one.
About that shitting of a brick……that’s another of our expressions!
Take care of yourself, missus. 🙂 x
Three people! You made me smile too 😊😊
Adorable! Especially the cat and the baby.
Ummm, I actually laughed out loud, so that counts as an extra STAR 😀
Wow! I am doing good. I made two people smile today. Bonus.

Did I make you smile? If I did, then you count as my smile for the day. I am done.
Peace & Love
These are too cute, Rene. Thanks for sharing them.
You actually shit a brick? I have never seen that. Selfie please.
I didn’t get the connection between the title and your response. Duh! Get it.
Yeah, I am shouting for help through WP. Funny Scottish woman.
I guess my joking on the gun is really not all that funny since we had yet another shooting at a school. Ya see, this is what I am getting from these shootings: kids fuckin’ hate school. Oh, and I think they really hated the movie that was playing as well.
I don’t know how many ways to say this: adults need to be more responsible with their guns. This is how the kids are getting the guns. They are not going to gun shows or gun stores to buy guns. Adults who have them, right or wrong, are not locking them up properly. They are being careless just like they are with alcohol in the house. I remember so many movies from the 50’s and 60’s wherein the teens are left at home and sneak into the liquor cabinet. They are doing the exact some thing with guns. There are tons of security devices for guns at home, cheap ones, which could be used. Take the damn key with you to work, or keep it somewhere only you know about, why the hell would the kid need to know where it is? There are also fingerprint scanners boxes, inexpensive, for guns at home. There are so many ways to secure them, especially if you don’t have a friggin’ armament stash at home, there is no excuse for kids being able to get to them. The excuse they might need to defend the home so they have a key or know where it is, is lame. Right now, while we are not in a military state, there is no imminent threat to the average citizen so there is no reason for kids to have access to guns as a general rule. A hunting rifle is something else, but again, one gun. I also am totally against, as are thousands of NRA members, assault and rapid fire weapons being available to the general public.
There are two solutions, why is this such a hard topic?
Peace & Love
I got such a fright when I didn’t see any post appear. iIjust had visions of you stuck somewhere but next to your laptop so you could ‘shout’ for help. I was mentally running through methods of getting help to you and cursing the fact that I don’t know your address. Thinking Las Vegas is a big place to send the emergency services to.
Seriously not laughing. And all in the space of seconds. Shit a brick I did!
So good to know you’re fine. Apart from that gun. Bit worrying that. 😉 x
So funny! NOT.
I get new doors yesterday, well that is what they told me. I would have someone here to install them yesterday afternoon. hmmm…no one came. So, perhaps today is the lucky day. It is always good to know just where you fall, and always good that is the same place with everyone…at the friggin’ bottom of the list of things, people, and situations. Yup, that is where I fall most of the time being that I can’t get up and kick ass anymore. I gotta’ gun though. Watch out. Take my gun, cane, and Bichon…we are talking Clint Eastwood scary. LOL
Try again. The damn page was being shitty to me. I did all the pics real nice like, and then it was all gone. I redid it, so look again.
Phew! shit, the pictures took ages to load. I thought you were hurt. I just kept thinking wardrobe mirrors! Thank god you’re ok.
And the pictures are cute. 😉 x
Rene, I don’t see a post with this. Are you ok?
