Someone tried to shoot me yesterday... — Page 2

What a horrible experience!

Join me in praising Jesus for your well-being!

So glad you are safe. I wont be joining in the Jeebus praising either. I hope you are well and that **** like that never happens to you again.

---

First, like everyone else, glad you weren't physically injured..

Second, I'll add my voice to Gaveston's that now might be a good time to talk to someone about this, especially since, iirc, you're a vet (thank you for your service) and have had some experience with PTSD. You know it can take time to come back and hit you when you least expect it. Talking to a PTSD pro a few times could head that off or lessen or at least better prepare you for its effects.

Third: thanks for standing up to those little sh!ts to begin with, and following through by calling the police. The reason this kind of thing is becoming so common is that people don't take a stand.

Hang in there. Don't minimize your emotions or try to bury them. You weren't killed or physically harmed, but you've certainly been traumatized and this has likely brought up old fears/experiences. PM me if you'd like.

Oops! Looks like I double-posted.


Marianne's words of advice

The gym gets occasional break ins at Christmas, but they dont have any video camera or any other kind of surveillance. I havent followed up with the police yet, no. I want to leave it alone and let them do their job without my interference.

Yeah, I heard the bullet fly overhead. It's a sound I know pretty well.

Oh, and I do accept that most people are good. I mean, otherwise it would be complete chaos out there, right? I guess this is what surprised me the most: I mean, this is Canada. Yes, we have our violent crime stats, but you just dont expect to see 10 year olds with handguns.

Again, guys, I really appreciate the kind words of support. I havent been around here in a long time, and it's nice to see old friends again. And let us all be grateful that this is not the sole reason for my talking with you all once again.

Hey, what about that SPRING AWAKENING, huh? Was that a piece of crap or what?

Sean look on the bright side: At least you didn't have to listen to a Jim Colyer song.

Where I live in Jacksonville, two fifthgraders have been charged with the attempted murder of their teacher. They were trying to poison the teacher with hand sanitizer. Folks, this is the world we are living in now.

"You're not safe anywhere these days. I was mugged in Nashville last year. I was knocked out. They stole my wallet, phone, and keys."

This isn't about YOU.

---

Cool that it's ok with you Sean, but I made that remark because of him.

Meanwhile, how you doin tonight?

---

I'm doing okay, thanks. It was a little shaky this afternoon: just the weirdness of it all kicking in, I guess. But thanks for asking; it is much appreciated.

And again, let me underscore: thank you all. I really appreciate it.

---

No, and to be honest, I'm hoping there wont be. I dont want these little brats to think they're getting one single iota of publicity or notoriety over this.

fingerprints taken off the cars???
