I can relate to what you're saying. I don't know how many times I've caught myself putting the milk in the cupboard and the cereal in the refrigerator.<br />I'm still working on A to Z posts as well, but what did you mean by "edit"? You edit? Maybe I should try that sometimes.<br /><br />Lee<br /><i>The Dog Lived (and So Did I)</i><br /><a href="http://wrotebyrote.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Wrote By Rote</a><br />An A to Z Co-host blogArlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8291778831034971277.post-78154573187109953242012-03-20T14:03:56.499-05:002012-03-20T14:03:56.499-05:00Happy Birthday!

I may write crime fiction, but faced with such a situation I imagine I'd panic and be shot. Training and knowing what to do are valuable tools.<br /><br />My toaster says to tell your toaster hi.Carol Kilgorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03745686632918324803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8291778831034971277.post-61864188424828801512012-03-19T20:38:10.937-05:002012-03-19T20:38:10.937-05:00I once tried to make coffee without the water.

Sometimes I walk from my office to where the shared printer is and just stand there because I have no idea what I'm doing.<br /><br />I participated in an active shooter training at a university I used to work for. It was very eye-opening to learn what I'd do to stay alive. <br /><br />Hope you had a great birthday. My husband loves getting older.

Happy Birthday - and am so pleased you enjoyed your mother's food and some time with your family!<br /><br />Counting and attention to detail - I think I'm like you - good at it - yet now it gets a bit higglepiggly ... and that's not right either!!<br /><br />Gosh - I suppose doing these training sessions are essential and you've made some excellent points - we perhaps forget in times of strife. Sincerely hope it doesn't happen .. <br /><br />As Alex says .. waiting for the toast - done that occasionally too .. though I'd never admit it!! Cheers and have a great week ..

One had a rifle and had a malachite.<br /><br />We had a 'real' bug out and moved the whole school to a nearby church when we got a 'tip' trouble was headed our way. It was a carload of gun totin' folks who where drugged up and upset.<br /><br />That year seven guns were confiscated from students. Somethin' that is never talked about.<br /><br />These are the things that never make the news. <br /><br />It's sad we have to be ready and prepare our students for such horrific activities but sadly, it's the world we live in. <br /><br />Stay on your toes my friend!<br /><br />God bless and have a fantastic week!<br /><br />(Oh, yeah...as ya know this is the time of year for the 'bomb threats' too.
