It was a little thing, but sometimes those little things can seem very big in your mind. I just wanted a friggin' pair of scissors. I scoured the entire house for 'em, have several pairs but couldn't find a single one. I was thinking, "My kingdom for a pair of scissors!" Then I texted my wife: "If I had a kingdom I'd give it up for a pair of scissors. Even a cheap little dinky pair would do." She of course would have no idea since she hasn't been living here for 10 months.
Well, I was in the garage when I sent that, and about a minute later what do I find in a bin but a cheap little dinky pair of scissors that I had forgotten even existed.
Thanks, God!
P.S. They have the initials of my stepson on them. School supplies. Of course now if I ever get a kingdom, I'll owe it to God. Oh well, who needs a kingdom anyway?

Someone in my fellowship has 4 years sobriety and still has that thing in their car. He is the most grateful person and has the strongest faith of anyone I know. I couldn't believe it until I heard his story, but that is the price you pay for like 4 DUIs and 2 in the same month when you license is already suspended. 5 years of having that thing. Another person got into a drunk driving accident and they killed their spouse of 20 years and got charged with manslaughter. The most quiet, lovely person. That could have so easily been me. All I had was a completely totaled car and apparently another drunk or someone with drugs in their car that just wanted my insurance info and then drove away. My ex wrapped 2 cars within the next month. That is how bad we both were at the end. All 3 of these wrecks happened within a couple miles of home. How many times did I tell myself "It's only 2 miles down the road. I could drive that in my sleep?" It sure sucks to have that thing in your car Glenn, but aren't you glad the consequences weren't worse? Not that this is what your post was about, but the breathalyzer thing got me going. If they werent so obtrusive and icky, everyone should have them probably.

That wouldn't be a bad idea actually. to have a "conveinient" breathalyzer.
It's sort of like a probation thing. Instead of keeping you in jail the whole time, they give you probation, and if you break probation, then you are like double fck'd over on the next charge.
The sun is still burning and the earth is still turning. Breathe that american air with pride.
