I drew a smiley face on my finger cone..... it's good.
The school lockdown is over a suspended student, not sure what grade, making threats to another or other students. I have to admit I was relieved no ex boyfriends were involved.... there are 2 in my dd's group as of yesterday. Both boys are the desperate type, but you don't want to think they're the threat making type, kwim?
DD15 will absolutely handle her day, and the boy to the best of her abilities. She's very competent..... very stoic. Can hold her position when everyone else is losing their heads. Tends to make things better, not worse.
The dog just horfed up 2 piles of half digested food. Must clean them and run an errand.
Thanks for chatting, Tupp. It helps.

Glad situation at school is getting sorted and that smiley face finger cone is in place :)

Well... I'm in carpool early....time to ponder security on a very personal level at our particular school. I don't want teachers carrying guns, BUT the idea my kid it kids are huddled in a closet waiting to be shot. The only thing that would make me feel better is if an able person had a gun trained on the door should the shooter appear.
That's nonsensical, but there it is. Feelings aren't right or wrong, they just are. We can't put guns in school without creating more problems and possibly solving none. Even law enforcement officers have a high miss rate at target practice. When you're in crisis it gets much worse....some freeze....some might get the weapon taken, which happens to people trained to use guns. No one knows what they'll do till it happens.
So, just found out the student making threats is in custody. I feel very sorry for the certainly shell shocked parents. Maybe they aren't surprised. Will hope it's not a serious threat to do harm. Some kids here hunt, have access to weapons, and that's how they were raised. That's how I was raised. I assume some teachers, under fire, would hand off guns to kids who played video games and or hunted regularly. What a nightmare. But if your kid was huddled in a closet.....
I spent an hour hiking up a mountain, bc the drive was chained, to check out a bankrupt company....my sibling bought a bulldozer, and I found it. Huge thing....keys in it. Thrilling to start it up on the first try. I wish I'd brought water.
This was a strange day.

The story on the threats....
10th grade boy suspended for running during a drug search at school re pot.
He sent a message to two friends, both girls, telling them to stay home, he was going to shoot the school up....he included pictures of his bed with guns.
He's in big trouble.
Hopalong:
I would NEVER wanna "be friends" with someone who forcefully held my hand (definition: against my wishes) for three hours. Make that for three minutes....
:(
I hope she'll stop being drawn to him, see that signal for what it signifies. Boy's got boundary AND anger issues. Doggone it.
I hope all the tumult passes soon and that your finger soon heals, along with everything.

Hops:
DD was never drawn to this boy. He's cute, and part of their group....she tried dating, bc she was curious. Her gal pal tried dating at the same time....just to try it.
In both cases the boys wanted to move fast.... I mean hold hands, walk the girls to every class, give pecks on the cheek, and hug. DD's group is full of huggers anyway.....the contact was pretty normal. The boys smothered the relationships. I know you understand how being pushed feels.
The hand holding thing came after a little spat. The boy was hugging DD too close, and often.... against her wishes up to that point at school. DD didn't even text him on weekends....she wanted space, and that made him more desperate. It was a bad recipe.
Yesterday he approached DD once, started three sentences, but trailed off each time. They sat away from each other, and didn't speak, but told no one they broke up. The first person to notice is the boy DD's friend broke up with.
I hope they can all go back to being friends. DD hugs everyone....boys hug each other in their group.... they're really nice kids....
even if there's some kicking rocks, and eating bologna samiches going on right now.
I'm guessing the boy won't be able to learn anything from this. I'm guessing this is what happened with the first two short term relationships where the girls broke up. Interesting no one gossips about them. I assume this will go by quietly too.
My finger is healing well😀
