I'm just, uh, just feeling kinda... truthsome right now. And, uh... life's just too damn short for ifs and maybes.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Good lord, Tep. That is a LOT! Yikes! I hope your dad can be more reasonable about all this than not. Dang.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

Tim isn't super comfortable with the idea of us taking Dad's guns (I do not blame him AT ALL), and said that if my brother really can come out here, he'd rather go that route. So we'll see what we need to do to make that happen.

That's understandable. I have heard of places where you can just turn in guns to be safely disposed of no questions asked but I don't know how widespread that is or how to go about finding one, but might be an option for you - just pick them up from your dad and take them immediately to the sheriff or wherever

Oh man, that is a lot to deal with Steph.

I'm not especially keen on having in a gun in the house, but I might make an exception for a Dragonov.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh jeez, Steph. Good luck with all of that.

Thrive to spite them

Steph that is A LOT. I know it's also a lot but could you or your brother check with your Dad's doctor. At least to let him know the hallucinations have started again. I don't know if there is anything he could do but he probably needs to know this in case it's not medicine causing them.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

I recently bought some USB memory sticks. Turns out the manufacturer is Zoul. Now I'm afraid to connect them to my computer.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Yikes. That is a lot, Steph. One thing, though. Is your dad likely to be carrying when he goes out? Maybe keeping one in his car? Because that might make it difficult to get all of his guns. You can probably get the shotgun, though.

Ha! There is only Zoul!
