The Mad Chatters thread Part 4

But the thing is, they only like this one particular booth. That sells anime stuff. And the sucker is never in the same spot from year to year. So for hours on end each year, we walk around looking for this one particular booth. Drives me nuts.

I told dh that's one good thing..........the kids haven't ever gone, so they don't know what they're missing...........

getting better...............

I heard they had fried twinkies last hear and fired coke this year. Have you had freid coke? How does that work?

Fried twinkies can Not be good for anyone..............

That's what I always tell DH, when he wants to try one. Aren't Twinkies basically celophane wrapped heart attacks anyway? So lets deep fry them and see what happens.

Now fried coke I haven't heard of. I have seen the fried snickers though.

That is true. When we lived in Alabama, we couldn't go because the gangs were too bad. I am not sure that taking them when we moved here was such a good idea. It gets really expensive!

My little brother got left at the fair one year. The school went. He didn't get back to the buses on time. I didn't know, thought he was on the ote bus................he found a toy on the groung and tried to sell it for a dime to call home..........he didn't even know he could have just told a fair worker he got left............buses got all the way home before they knew he wasn't on.

Oh how scary! How old was he?

 

[paigevz]

Okay, it's gone..............just the adrenaline remnants now..........thanks a million. I hate that and it always happens when dh is asleep.........I hate waking him up. He just says "calm down, calm down". That is NOT helpful!

 

[Ready to go in Ok]

DD was telling me that there was a guy in a straightjacket at the fair who got himself out of it. She thinks that was the coolest thing ever!

 

[paigevz]

I think 8 or 9. They sent the principal back to get him in her car, but by then he'd called home and my dad was on his way.

Whew. I didn't know whether to keep typing like a maniac, or give you time to answer!

DS has a book about a boy who idolized houdini and it tells of houdini's life.......he LOVES it.............

Sorry to put you under pressure...........I just knew if you left and I signed off it'd keep on coming................no fun those, I think I'm having a heart attack, though of course I know what it really is.

That is cool. I hate watching those things. I know that it is usually safe, but there is always that chance! And it just makes me worry.

No problem at all. DD has them sometimes, and she will nearly hyperventilate. It is scary.

 

[paigevz]

Okay, goodnight if you want to go..................this is weird, what do I say? You're dismissed?

Wow, poor kid is young for that..................

 

[Ready to go in Ok]

Of course, that is probably my fault. When she first started having the anxiety, I told her to take deep breaths. So she is trying to take deep breaths, but ends up nearly fainting.

It seemed like a good idea at the time.

What is weird is she is the most social of our kids. The one you would think would be the least likely to have anxiety issues.

I don't know, I can hardly breathe when it happens, and can't talk at all.........deep breaths are probably a good idea.............

She also has to have her face covered when she has the attack. Preferrably with a wet washcloth. But anything will do. She says it makes her feel better.
