I mean, I'd rather be in jail than have my boy in the hospital. And jail scares the crap out of me!<br /><br />Jess - Oh, my dear friend. You totally flatter me! Thank you! <br /><br />So many things are possible just as long as you don't know they're impossible. :)<br /><br />And yes, all good.<br /><br />Stevie - Yes, here's to advances in medicine! And scam artists not succeeding! And scamming toddlers succeeding with Nana! :)<br /><br />And thank you for the Tom Robbins! So nice! <br /><br />HK - I LOVE him too! Whenever I know someone who doesn't like his music, it makes me question them as a person. :) And it was only momentarily upsetting for me. I think Betty and Nick's relatives had a lot more stress waiting for Nick to get back in touch.<br /><br />Go-Betty - And apparently this is a common thing! If you google "grandparent scam" - there are a lot of stories. Awful.<br /><br />Hillary - Thank you, my sweet!<br /><br />Dana - There was a little panic, and then it all turned out to be nothing all around.<br /><br />I had that cold-fear-heart-racing reaction to ambulances for a long time. It's gone now, but I do remember it. I didn't ever explicitly deal with it in therapy, but I do think therapy helped me get past a lot of it. I wonder if some piece never goes away, though.Lemon Gloriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07280085058516960260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117136912052729666.post-59003058228013060172012-02-01T09:27:48.619-05:002012-02-01T09:27:48.619-05:00Phew.

My brother was in a horrific bicycle accident that he survived, but just barely. The other day walking through the city, an ambulance went screaming past me on the way to GW and I passed a rack of bikes and that was all it took to be back in the moment when I got the first phone call. If you ever find someone who can help you find relief, let me know because I could use it too.Danahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07103053104460770180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117136912052729666.post-14583576389963835832012-02-01T03:09:01.726-05:002012-02-01T03:09:01.726-05:00I agree with Stevie.

Your life and writing are very Tom Robbins-esque at times.<br />I'm glad everything is okay with your boys and that the bandits didn't get Nick's grandpa's money.Hillaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10602816507915795709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117136912052729666.post-76182727632239104372012-01-31T23:55:26.336-05:002012-01-31T23:55:26.336-05:00And also very glad granpa never got fleeced of 2k ...And also very glad granpa never got fleeced of 2k as well.Go-Bettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12746808309929560250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117136912052729666.post-50432577092109469792012-01-31T18:33:00.201-05:002012-01-31T18:33:00.201-05:00My first response is I Love Johnny Cash!

So sorry for the concern and alarm before you found out what was really going on. <br /><br />Also I'm a little tired after reading this post, how do you do it all?

Or maybe Douglas Adams took a stab at more conventional fiction at some point?<br /><br />I'm glad to hear that Nick is not incarcerated.

And, I would have totally been thrilled to hear my hubby was in jail rather than my daughter was in the hospital. <br /><br />Glad everyone's fine! And glad Nick's grandpa was smart enough to verify the story!cla517https://www.blogger.com/profile/14825038094929045322noreply@blogger.com
