@Cesar R M , I'm really liking your pictures and history lesson! I also like to walk around old forts, bunkers, buildings, etc. But I was shocked to read about those kids who were bent on destruction, just to be jerks. The fact that their parents didn't pay attention to all that was awful.

Woof.
We were definitely not allowed to get away with carp like that, and neither were our kiddos. But, then again, I don't think us or them ever even entertained such thoughts. What the h**l is wrong with some people...?!

more than "paying attention". they just Didn't gave a darn... Its probably the type that fits the meaning of "helicopter" parent.
My mother also said the kids were using a lot of expletives and hard insults, and only the grandmah of the group tried to call them down (to which the mother of the kids blocked her a few times).

My parents and/or grandparents would have had our butts in a sling for that kind of behavior.
I know it's not particular to any generation per se, but, it's still no less disgusting.

Now I feel the need to go to Spice Road Table, darn your food pics

That's REAL chicken and beef there, though...!

My favorite flight ever was in a Beechcraft Bonanza to Hershey Pa right before they closed the airport there. You could smell the chocolate as soon as you got out of the plane and walk to Hershey Park

It was very windy today. I heard a noise like that last night and check this morning but didn't see anything. My car was shaking on the highway.

And to think I almost ran a race today. The Newport Bridge race but they still let traffic go by so I'm like no thanks.

It's really windy here this evening. I think it's all that cold air @MinnieM123 ordered for everybody.

First plane I went on, was a four seater. Didn't know what kind of plane it was. I was so excited to be on any kind of plane.

Correct me if I'm mistaken, but, wasn't that the trip you posted about were all the making out occured in the front of the plane...?!

I kept hearing creepity noises this morning outside my bedroom window. I have an A/C unit under one of my windows in my room and the window was open. (They are pinned windows though so I can set it that it cannot be lifted more that 5".) It was a sound I can't ever remember hearing before and I've lived here more that 30 years. Finally I got up pulled on sweatpants and sweatshirt and went out the back door to see what the heck, cautiously. Stupid sparrows, a swarm of them trying to build a nest in the bend of a gutter up by the overhang. I could tell they were annoyed with me for interrupting their morning work.

All of our runs in this area are closed roads. It is annoying because in our little Hamlet we do not have many thru roads but the races are for Charity so we all tolerate. There are also cycling races here. They do not close the roads for these. Talk about freak'n dangerous.

I with all my skipping around and missing so many posts missed this storytime.

 

[Gabe1]

Moving some stuff around and didn't realise there was a broken picture frame in a black bag. Put it down and later brushed past it ... cue inch long cut and " my shoe was filling up with blood"
Points for getting the movie quote .

Yikes. And your legs are so tiny, lucky you didn't lop it right off. Be well little ferret.

I would have been knocked into tomorrowland. I would not have dared. Still to this day do not go down that road.

Never been a fan of gutter talk or trying to intimidate by going off topic to icky, harsh talk. Just never found that road leads to any respect, more the opposite. Still some will never grasp that, likely never will.

Exactly, thats why I found it shocking.

So, our area had a very windy day (gusts to 50 mph). I was sitting here at the computer and I heard a giant thud like someone slammed the front door. Went downstairs--no one there and the door was still locked (hubs was out walking the dog). So I went in the back room to get some laundry out of the dryer and happened to look out the back window--a giant limb of a tree was sprawled across the entire backyard. Saw my neighbor out there and she said that the branch hit the roof and damaged the gutters. (She was taking photos with her phone to send to the landlord.) It was freaky!!

We had some wind but nothing like that. I'm so happy you're ok
