    Well, it's either that or be a victim and I won't allow that. Guess I should look into taking gun classes and get my ccw.

    I think I could handle the mental mage of you with a gun a bit better than with a sword. I'm probably going to still be chuckling over this for the next day or so.....I keep picturing you with the sword and seeing your signature that says Blessings so my first thought was ...would you say Blessings as you plunged the sword into the intruder..?

    I think it has to be something in the wiring causing a power surge....at least I hope so because the thought of Freddy is going to give me nightmares .

    The poltergeist that used to be around when my kids were little, and then again when the grandkids were little. On and off t.v., things turning up missing and then turning up a year later, knock on the door and no one there, the swing outside swinging with no one on it and no wind blowing to make it move, the calculator "totaling" with no one near it, the dogs seeing him, etc, etc, etc. Nothing malicious - just mischevious. That Freddy!

    Hmmm, we had poltergeist activity when I was a little girl but that was 198 years ago and in a different house. I guess it's possible. However, Mercury went retrograde today and electronics go haywire when that happens, so that's probably what it is. Just so my car doesn't act up.

    I was joking about "my" Freddy visiting you. He's mine - you can't have him. I truly think that he is finally gone for good, since he hasn't been around in a good 5 years or so - once the grandkids got older. He only came around when there were younger kids living here.

    I figured as much b/c why would your poltergeist visit me? But I did wonder if maybe something else had decided to pay me a call. Nah, it's Rx Merc.

    Gawd, how old are you Mary? LOL Have you ever really thought of how
    close you have to be to the intruder to be a threat with a sword? Way too
    close for my liking. Just sayin.....

    Yep, I've thought about it. I don't really use it as a weapon although I really did retrieve it and went downstairs w/it ready to strike. This is a really safe neighborhood; no fear but when I heard a conversation, I really did think that the burglars were talking to each other.

    I'm glad to hear that you didn't have any intruders but tv's turning on by themselves would give me the creeps.

    I do remember once my stereo turned on by itself and I think it was just a power surge. When my old tv was acting up it would also turn on by itself and then I wouldn't be able to turn it back on after it was off for a while.

    Haha.. nice a sword. At least you stood up and tried to face the intruder, which was just a TV. How did it turn on?! I would have freaked out and stayed behind and let the intruder take away everything. But, I have a good guard dog. I would let him loose on the thief. Mary, quite a courage.
