After a very busy morning and afternoon, my family is having a bit of a rest, so I am doing what I always do when I have a few extra minutes on my hands, I read all of you. While hanging out at Brigid’s place I read an awesome post about protection without a gun and in the comments I read…
Guffaw in AZ said…
Paranoia presumes mental aberration – no real threat.
Thinking defensively when there’s a real threat, or possible real threat.
That’s realistic.
Great Post!
I love that comment.
I can’t figure out how to link and all that with my iPad. Hopefully the link works. If not search Home On The Range, it’s worth it.
As you can see the link is missing…sorry:) its good to work a little for your reward.
Soooooooo….your BLOG is the “missing link”? Darwin will be overjoyed!
*ducking and covering*
Yes, you should hide:)
I loved her post today as well and also linked to it from my blog. Great minds think alike.
The comments are superb because the posts are superb.
Indeed!
You aren’t paranoid until you think the lamp on the end table is out to get you.
Don’t give me that. I’ve had my eye on that lamp for a while. He and the PB&J sandwich in the fridge are conspiring. I’m going to take out the PB&J first. Softer target (and yummier, too).
Erin – what is really frightening is that the end table supports the lamp.
You, Erin & 45er make me laugh!
An old king once said, “I know I’m paranoid, but, am I paranoid enough?”
Working on being just the right amount of paranoid.
1-“Just because you don’t think someone’s out to get you doesn’t mean they aren’t.”
2-“It’s not paranoia if someone really is after you.”
True, true.
Driving defensively is never described as “paranoia”, not that I’ve heard anyway, but it’s the same thought process as being aware of your surroundings and being prepared.
Yep, you are so smart and always give me sound advice!
“Just because you are paranoid, doesn’t mean they aren’t out to get you.”
I heard that somewhere before:)
Have a wonderful time away and enjoy every second with your family.
So true on what you said! If anyone messes with me they will be sorry (Evil Smile)
Thanks and yeah, I have seen your guns, so I am not messing with you!
@AGAHG – Thank you!
…and North said it all!
