I'm here!! ...for now.
Oh, wait.. ...Woo hooo!! I'm here!! ...for now.<br /><br />Oh, wait.. it's not the weekend anymore, is it? <br /><br />Orbs, it is very frustrating with the connection I have. Don't want to do anything long term, because this is just a temporary situation. <br /><br />Besides, the scenery isn't too bad. <br /><br />I think I was born on a Wednesday.. I couldn't get on to post on Wednesdays thread!! <br /><br />ohhh! more fireworks!! :DMinnesotaChickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13932758634212107430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-514457884876261588.post-59363208648645819972010-07-03T20:18:17.180-05:002010-07-03T20:18:17.180-05:00I have a friend with PTSD whose company in Viet Na...I have a friend with PTSD whose company in Viet Nam was repeatedly overrun by the enemy. He was one of only 3 survivors out of a hundred some soldiers. He has a difficult time on the anniversary of that day, though he has gotten much better over the years. He also had/has difficulty with fireworks.<br /><br />I spoke too soon about the firecrackers/fireworks in my neighborhood. They started popping off last night, around 9 o'clock. Mom hears it in her neighborhood, too, and asked me why they wait until 9. I said it must be because that's when it's dark enough to appreciate the rockets, roman candles, and whatever other missiles they shoot off.<br /><br />On the 5th, Charlie will hide under the bed when the sirens go off during the pre-parade. I wish there was room to join him. The fireworks are more distant, but he'll hide out for those, too.<br /><br />[I was about to post this comment when my buddy with PTSD called me. Coincidence? Yesterday I mentioned to mom an old friend she hadn't heard from in awhile. I don't know why, her name popped into my head. Yesterday afternoon, she called mom. Ooooo-weeee-ooooo!]OrbsCorbshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08195806840368262235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-514457884876261588.post-34397909563182550642010-07-02T20:36:07.738-05:002010-07-02T20:36:07.738-05:00Orbs, last year I had a friend show up who had Pos...Orbs, last year I had a friend show up who had Post traumatic stress syndrome...no fireworks or not much over here, but going off like crazy at his house. I put him up for the night. I had never seen a reaction before...he wasn't a threat to me, but he was sure shaking. <br /><br />And, Orbs, I am delighted you share my Dad's birthday...he was a great guy!Beejayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09651209773033697549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-514457884876261588.post-91199967589995421122010-07-02T18:24:44.594-05:002010-07-02T18:24:44.594-05:00Beejay, I'm honored to share the day with your...Beejay, I'm honored to share the day with your father.<br /><br />They say that if you can remember the 60's, you weren't there. I was in high school. I drank then, and experimented with drugs later, some more than others.<br /><br />I haven't heard that many firecrackers yet this weekend. Of course, it's early, but that activity seems to have died down in the city considerably from a number of years ago. I remember one 4th in the old apartment that was like being under siege in a war zone.OrbsCorbshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08195806840368262235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-514457884876261588.post-21555179019881629372010-07-02T15:29:02.728-05:002010-07-02T15:29:02.728-05:00Orbs, I just saw that your birthday is the 16th. ...Orbs, I just saw that your birthday is the 16th.

I didn't do anything wild back then...I waited until the 70s to get a bit crazy...I never did go overboard though...just had fun and laughed a lot. Sort of like what I do today!!!! <br /><br />SER, tell us what were you up to in the 60's?Beejayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09651209773033697549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-514457884876261588.post-22211172935700388642010-07-02T10:53:11.081-05:002010-07-02T10:53:11.081-05:00Quick, hold the parade and fireworks tomorrow (Sat...Quick, hold the parade and fireworks tomorrow (Saturday) instead of Monday because they're predicting a 50% chance of rain on Monday. Tomorrow's supposed to be perfect.<br /><br />I see that DogAddicts posted a comment on SER's Eagle tornado blog, but did it as anonymous because she couldn't log in.

We were kind of post baby boom, sometimes referred to as boomlets? (I think) I know what kind of trouble I found in my teen years... but that is not open for public discussion. ;>kkditherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16181697760037435065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-514457884876261588.post-52997725524802989952010-07-02T00:47:01.896-05:002010-07-02T00:47:01.896-05:00Friday's child is loving and giving . . .
