I guess he thought I was a panda too. LOL. Lordy, the story has spread all over the county. Geez. Why do I get all the nuts? Anyway, I didn't get hurt. The knives were in his pockets and he never pulled them out. The guy's street name is "Bull" and before alcoholism took its toll, he was quite stout. Remember, I'm a good size ole boy, hence the name Big Sarge. He came up on the short end of the stick. I guess I kind of "squished him".

No, no, "used reasonable force to control the situation. Your honour."
I presume the guy is a wayyy gone alcoholic, can't help himself. He doesn't sound mean, just really messed up.

With the benefit of hindsight it IS a funny story. I LOL'd.
The reality was probably way different. Glad you're safe.

I have been trying to figure out a way to charge him witha sex crime. I can imagine the headlines, "Man Convicted of Fondling Police Chief in Courtroom".
So true IM. Everybody thinks I'm a big lovable panda.You can rub my belly anytime!

Grandad's nurse is very worried about him.
She worked with Mum years back, when she was a student and Mum was picking up extra money as a cleaner. From what she's said, Mum doesn't think Grandad will get through his current illness. I have more faith in his stregnth, but then I haven't seen him for a week or so. I'm going tomorrow with my bro. Mum's going tonight after Mass. She must honestly believe it's bad, because she was there for over an hour this morning, and she doesn't usually visit twice a day. AND she called my bro and sister AND her brother in Australia. Seems more serious than the other times she's predicted his death. But because of all the other times I still can't find it in me to be too worried. Will let you know.

Visiting for a Halloween Party, my neighbor walked into my FiL's house and started rubbing his Buddha statue's belly... It as a weird moment.

Grandad's still alive.
I'm happy about it. I'm just a little weary about my mother's death-watch scares. She'll be right one day and I'll feel awful. But there've been approx six that I can remember now (pre-hospital, hospital and care-home) and although I do love him, I don't worry as much now. And when I say death-watch, I mean checking we all have clean funeral clothes, lists of people to contact and the name of the funeral parlour and Chapel of Rest he is registered at, and recommended florist in case she is out of the house. Even Dad had his doubts. His main worry was that Mum would cancel their weekend away in Peterborough. He's not a heartless man - Grandad has been part of his life for nearly as long as his own Dad by now (partly because thanks to WWII he didn't meet his Dad until he was five). But he has learned that rumours of Grandad's death may have been exaggerated. Yes, it is really upsetting Mum. And of course I am being sympathetic. But I honestly believe this well pass. And he won't. This time. At least she's sad, not furious, as she is when things simply go wrong. No screaming, swearing or threats of violence. Thank goodness.

I'm upset to find good news cluttering up this upset thread. I think. Maybe it makes me happy? Fuck. Where is the I'm confused thread?
Sundae, I'm very glad your Granddad is ok, and that's true for *all* threads.

My budget request just got slammed. No new vehicle & no pay raises, plus have to cut my budget request by almost $100,000. I understand we don't have the money but you can't get blood from a turnip. Damn. I am so, so fucked
