Comments on: Day 49: Have I mentioned I’m getting sick of the numbers? http://www.darxyanne.com/2009/12/day-49-have-i-mentioned-im-getting-sick-of-the-numbers/ Oh that there was a tidy little phrase that could sum up everything I want to say to the world Sat, 21 Jan 2012 12:37:59 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Steve http://www.darxyanne.com/2009/12/day-49-have-i-mentioned-im-getting-sick-of-the-numbers/comment-page-1/#comment-319 Steve Thu, 28 Jan 2010 22:50:58 +0000 http://www.darxyanne.com/?p=1104#comment-319 We went to visit a relative I rarely see (the blood connection is so close I'm embarrassed to say) who said he had a collection of old military surplus items to show my 11-yr-old son. He had out a gas mask and was talking camping stoves. No big deal, right? He also promised me he doesn't keep loaded guns in the house before they went upstairs to the military holy of holies. I didn't go up. Should have. As we were leaving my son told me he got to see 2 AK-47s, one Russian and one Chinese. The Russian one had a full clip in it. When I talked to this dipsh*t later he said there was no round in the chamber and the safety was on, so the AK-47 wasn't loaded. He said I could ask any police or military person and they would agree. So far all the people I've asked agree he's a dipsh*t and the gun was definitely loaded. .-= Steve´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.twistingroad.com/2010/01/continuity-forced-out/" rel="nofollow">Forced Continuity Is Being Forced Out!</a> =-.

I didn't mention the other really striking moment. When they brought out the cake and we all sang, at the moment it came time for Grandma to make a wish and blow out the candles, she said, "I can't be happy." Maybe the birthday speech that started off with the litany of all the people who have died on Grandma (husband, parents, daughter, all brothers and sisters save one) was still ringing in her ears, who knows.
