A little girl will never hear her fathers voice again or be held in his strong embrace. A wife will have to pick up the pieces and move on as best she can without the love of her life. Now he may be exonerated, but if he had shut his mouth and moved seats or just lived with life's little annoyances everyone would have gone home that night.

I think my $20 popcorn and drink would go flying through the air if I saw some crazy old guys necking in the theater.

I should never have said "You and me...Outside" but that was my first thought when he called me that name. I probably should have just acted like I didn't hear him say it.

It is funny when your kids start acting like your parents. "Don't eat that, it's bad for you" . "You need to exercise more" . I turned my phone off one day a few weeks back and forgot about it. She sent my SIL to the house to make sure I hadn't had a heart attack. When I answer the door he says, your daughter made me come over here and tell you to turn your phone back on. I guess she loves me. I don't know why either.

We were sitting in a theater and the previews and commercials had not even started yet. The theater was fully lit and the screen was simply rolling those silent local adds. My SIL and I were quietly talking shop when this old cranker,(about my age...LOL), on the front row says to us, "you two need to be quite". Well I say back to him... "there isn't even any sound from the theater yet, we will be quiet when the movie starts". Well he fires back by calling us "butt holes" only he used the slang for butt. Now that made me mad so I say to him..."You and me. Outside". Of coarse my daughter is now scolding me and his adult son is scolding him. His son says sorry guys and my daughter says, no problem. He and I say nothing else to each other and he looks forward to watch the silent advertising. We lowered our voices to a whisper and everything settled down.

The conversation last night was about how that could have gotten out of control. And of coarse my daughter makes me out the bad guy. She started thinking she was my mother when she turn 30.

I suppose anyone pulling out a gun never crossed my mind. Even though I was armed. I didn't even think about my gun. But he sure could have had one.

Looks like you have your conflict resolution skills honed to a fine edge there 03LR. I like your style.

Yeah... I am good at back and forth until someone get's nasty at me. Then I struggle with my primal urges...LOL. Getting my CHL was probably the smartest thing I ever did. It causes me to think twice before responding...in most cases. Having the weapon on me causes me to be less likely to hop on a guys face and bite off his ear.
