[Rant] Minor Rant III: For a Few Hollers More

[Officer_Charon]

On the upside, I got to peacefully break up a pool party attended by about 20 kids from various high schools... no-one got stupid and tried to fight, no-one got mouthy (much), and all the kids tidied up their mess.

The ONLY ONE with the weed smell coming from his car was the only one with attitude. Go figure.

I think this picture needs reposting today. Makes me smile and cry at the same time...

damn. I was holding it together, not now. Burying a friend today, was killed on Wednesday in a traffic accident on the way home from his work. Semi had a tire blowout, came across a 20 yard wide median and hit two cars going the other direction, my friend was driving one of the cars.

More friends and family displaced. The national Guard is here. They got a coworker of mine out of a flooded neighborhood. I want to make a big pot of red beans to bring to work on Monday for them but I am, for the first time I can remember, completely out of beans.

When I was 8 years old, a driver trying to commit suicide by deliberately driving on the wrong side of the freeway collided with my uncle's van, killing both of them instantly. My uncle was returning from a visit with my dad's family (his family), on his way back to college where he was a bearded hippie who ran the student radio station. I never got to know him because he was away to college by the time I was out of diapers. You have my sympathy.

With all the flooding lately, I was surprised you hadn't been affected yet. I guess it had to happen sometime.

I'm in a really good part of town, flood-wise. Plus I'm on the second floor of an apartment complex. I can't leave, but we have what we need.

Be prepared, though, hon.

We have water, candles, and important numbers. Out of condoms, though.

Gonna have to 69 it for a while then.

This is just God's plan to get you to procreate.

Floods are his go-to for manipulating mortals.

You need to get up on the roof, do something like this:

but replace "Alive" with "Sexy Inside! Drop condoms!"

Thankfully that isn't MY school district, but I am clearly living way too close to ground zero for the next plague.

 

[Celt Z]

But according to The Stand, you're in the perfect spot for the next plague!


(Seriously, though, that sucks.)

Hope you're doing ok since the floods have gotten worse. My stepson and his wife had to be boated out of his apartment complex. The water was up over 24" inside their apartment.

Still good. Lotta people using their boats to save people. I saw an incredible video of two guys in a pirogue saving a woman and her dog after her car got swept off the road. Glad your family got out OK.

Restaurants all over town are giving out free food to displaced families. Hotels and apartments are reducing their rates for people who need a temporary home during repairs. Lots of good happening around here in the wake of all the bad things.

Ping @Officer_Charon. We could probably use your smiling Marine pic right about now. I certainly could.

I can't get to the link....kids with no vaccinations scare the crap out of me. I just had my infusion this week so my immune system is at its worst.

Huh? Why...

Had this back in January. It's no fun.

 

[DarkAudit]

@PatrThom for the same reason I posted Mikko. It just makes me feel better and says everything's gonna be alright.

 

[bhamv3]

Y'know what, Darkaudit? I don't know if anyone else has said this to you, but I really appreciate how you ping people to get them to check in after bad things happen. It shows you care, cause you do it so often. You've pinged me a few times too. I really appreciate that.

No, I meant that I hadn't heard of the incident.

[jwhouk]

At least I'm aware of Krisken's location to know that the crap at Sherman Park is nowhere near him.

Cheesy beat me to it - when I saw the ping, I was getting ready for bed, and I don't have the pic on my phone.

And then I saw about the incident. I drive past Eastman fairly often, either going to SCA events or to my folks'.

Fuckers are getting too close.

I just learned that a guy I went to school with is an anti-vaxxer.

I gave him a hug for you.

What's wrong with people?

 

[ThatGrinningIdiot!]

A woman makes a silly generalization that masculinity is fragile, and I question her about that sentiment and everyone responds with, "YOU PROVED ME RIGHT". What a juvenile line of thinking and argument.

 

[Gruebeard]

A friend of mine in high school put his cat in a microwave.

I never spoke to him again after I found out.

They're stupid assholes.

 

[Cajungal]

I should say not.

 

[Dave]

Like, did he do it thinking the cat would dry faster? Or was he trying to kill his cat by cooking it from the inside out? Because that makes a difference.
