'Heart Of Gold'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Yay! Go Aimee!
I need something to perk me up after 1:17:21.
Susan, I pretty much agree with everybody else - not weird to want a prop from your period, reasonable to want to write with accuracy, just gotsta have precautions. IOW, I don't think you're weird.
Yay! Go Aimee!
I may not be able to fight the whole system, but dammit, I can fight the smaller subsects of it.
I think more of this "justice" thing of MM's might have rubbed off on me than I thought.

Picturing you in flowing cape and kicky red boots even now.
NO CAPE!

Susan, I also grew up with guns in the house, mostly hunting rifles. There was a rifle range in our basement, and Dad made sure we could shoot straight. Guns were serious business. I would never have dreamed of playing with one. Which is why I'm nonplussed about hearing that you want to bring one into the house as decoration, but want it to work. Those things don't go together in my head, and I wonder if your DH isn't getting a mixed signal off of what you describe, too. I understand why you'd want one, and why you'd like to fire it (I find shooting at a rifle range to be very calming, as I get to employ my yoga breathing).
NO CAPE!
Then what's the point if not to wear a cape?
You haven't seen The Incredibles, have you?

Nope.
I'd worry about it too much, it would only take one mistake.
I'm curious how I will feel once we have children in the house old enough to move around. Thinking about it, we have a lot of dangerous shit around here - guns, knives, pellet guns, etc. (Guess whose toys those are?)
I know we will get a gun safe in the next year because I do worry about the one mistake. On the other hand, I strongly suspect it will be DH who teaches our kids about guns at a fairly young age. Probably a watermelon will be involved. We are safe and I trust DH completely. I don't trust the rest of the world, though and we can't control every place our children will be. I want my daughter/son to be the one who says "I already *know* guns are dangerous" when one of their friends shows them "something cool" they found under their parents bed.
