OMG guys I'm truly blushing - I never expected this to turn into a praise thread. One of my good points is, I'm usually very level headed and think before I talk/act. I'm grateful I was able to think spontaneously with some incidents in my life. With the road rage incident I was literally afraid to stop my car and I was on the phone with a 911 operator. She guided me straight to the police station lol and the dimwit followed me there lol.

Anyway I had a good day today. My oldest daughters semi formal is next Friday, so I took her to the mall. We got a good price on a dress she likes, so I could afford to buy her perfectly matching shoes, a necklace, earrings and a purse. I love buying nice things for my girls and seeing them happy.

Thank you friends:

Open Eyes - for your post. I really didn't expect so many nice comments and encouragement.

stumpy - you're one funny strong lady and I'm happy to know you too. When a person's down, its feels great to look at the situation with some quirky humor lol. I think you should write a book ...maybe a dog training book.

Beholden - thank you for believing in me and I admire you positive attitude.

KathyM. - awwww you and stumpy are teaming up on me. I remember that song lol and I figured you would post this. I wasn't gonna use that hammer for good though lol.

roseleigh7 - you know I was thinking of you the other day...wondering if you're okay. Thank you and don't worry.....I'm bouncing back.

Harley47 - thank you again for your kind words. Funny story about your mom's sleep walking. I saw those food eating sleepers on Oprah. Better ice cream than aw hamburger one lady ate lol. Thanks for the info on guns with locks - I would probably forget the key lol. In situations like this, its a tempting thought to get one.
