He is having to pick up & move. It will be a very long time if ever that he will be back. Where is going Does not have modern technologies. So, he won't be able to be online. You will really be missed JoJo & best of luck. I hope everything works out.

I do have my own private guard....MY SPOUSE. He's a guard in one of Texas prisons, so I guess he qualifies. Bless his heart he keeps a watchful eye on me constantly. Not only does he do all the driving everywhere we go (which I don't know why I even bother with renewing my driver's license), he follows me around the house to make sure all the burners are turned off the stove, and things like that. Well, we both watch out for each other. He takes care of me, and I take care of him. However, sometimes it's like the blind leading the blind, when we're both sick, it makes it tough.

I wish my being sick was his only problem, but he's a good natured man and never complains. I'm blessed to have his protective arms.

DaRu sneaks out of the alley where she was hiding and meets Madame TBird on the sidewalk, who reminds her about the storm and request she tell the story....so DaRu decides, why not...lol. This happened years ago, but it's a night I wish I could forget. I had just taken a bath and got out and was finish bathing my two year old daughter, when the storm arrived. It was hailing and high winds, and pouring rain. The phone rang so I ran to answer it, and suddenly a bolt of lightning struck the phone lines and traveled through the lines and a flash of fire came out of the receiver, and at the same time it felt like a ton of books slapped me on top of my head, knocking me to my knees at which time my heart stopped and I blacked out. The last thought was this is it, I'm going to die, but then I started regaining control and stood up to answer my friend who was screaming on the other end of the line. When I took the phone in my hand, the lightning struck the line again, and this time fire flashed throughout the entire bedroom, and I thought my house was on fire. I grabbed my daughter and wrapped her in a towel, and put on a robe and fled to my vehicle and headed for our neighbors house. Upon arriving I told them my house was on fire, so they drove back to investigate, but found all was well. It did knock out a few applicancs though. Anyway, my neighbor said there was a several car wreck on the highway and he didn't know how in the world I drove through it, for sure through such a heavy blinding rain. I was in total shock so it had to be my guadian angel that help get me through. I just know that when it storms today and there's lightning, you can bet I'll get off my computer, and turn off everything in my house until it passes. I'm sure being struck is the reason I suffer bad headaches, and beyond that it's put great FEAR in my heart.

I even take it a bit too far at times. I pack up our valuables, and put the harnesses and leads on my boys, grab my purse, then sit and wait till it's over. It's for sure I'm going to hold on tight to my sweet little boys, and if blown away, we'll all be together. I know we're not to live in fear, and storms in general don't scare me, but when lightning's involved...it's a horse of a different color, whatever that term means...lol.

Thank you girls...I feel much better. I agree I could use protective gear, and for sure in real life..lol. My daughter tells me I have the gift of gab, and I guess I do. My Dad was a school teacher and loved telling about his navy adventures.Anyway, there's one more story I'll share. Our yard is always full of fire ants, to which I'm very allergic to. I was mowing the yard and saw a huge ant hill, so I decided to knock it down. When I did, ants came charging at me from everywhere. They ran up my pant legs and started biting me. I done a jig as I streaked to the house and jumped beneath the shower, jerking off my attire. I was bitten all over and was on fire and itching like crazy. For days I tried everything to ease my suffering, but nothing helped. Finally I looked up a remedy on the internet about applying a thick soda paste. I had white patches everywhere, and soda was all over the house. I even wrapped up in a white sheet. Wow, what a mess. I can't imagen what my husband thinks at times. Anyway, I'm very careful when outside. Yelp, I do need protective gear...lol. By the way, does anyone recomment a safe remedy to kill fire ants but not harm my yorkies?
