I guess since the whole "having the gun at the ready", is so far outside of my experience, I sometimes wonder if people are just pulling our legs and I am the only one who doesn't know this.

No judgement, it just really throws me when I read things like this.

So, was anybody kidding (maybe you, Clay?)?

I ashure you I wasn't kidding.I moved into a new place ten years ago but didnt think it was one of the worst parts of my town.My house was broken into with me on the phone calling to cops and the perp laughing at the whole thing while he was trying to got the door open,if it hadnt been I shot a hole in the door a foot oever his head I most likely wouldnt be hear to type this plus the house across the street was a crack house..no joke.I had no place else to go so I stayed untill I had enough cash to move.Now I take no chances.

Top Tier:
- reading lamp
- glasses
- Motorola Xoom
- LG Intuition and bluetooth, with chargers
- bottle of water
- acid reflux meds (freakin 2am heartburn from hell)

Bottom Tier:
- subwoofer thingy for the surround sound (yes, I have surround sound in my bedroom as well as the living room)
- antique glass urn (full of coins)
- Hitachi (no, I do not listen to porn in surround sound)
- remotes for tv, dvd, surround sound, PS3 controller (so I'm a gamer, ok)
- wireless keyboard and mouse (because my pc is hooked up to the 32" flat screen on the wall)
- .38 special (cause I'm that kinda girl)

Hmm....never really thought about the gun thing. I grew up with a grandma who wore a garter gun. I also have 2 guns on top of the china cabinet in the dining room, another revolver in my closet (which I usually forget about and falls on my head when I'm trying to reach for stuff), and a gun safe with rifles and shotguns, along with the antique weaponry that has been passed down to me. For me, I think it's just how I was raised. *shrug*

On my bedside table is my kindle fire, my pill box, my lamp, Hello Kitty IPod dock alarm, Blistex, a Dr. Pepper and at this moment some Kleenex.

reading lamp.
electric cig
two fashion magazines
cell phone

I like the table free from crap. I'm not a stuff person. My laptop is my stereo and my tv as well as my computer. I like everything to fit into one load of a minivan.

Granted, now that I've got my furniture back, that's not possible. but having learned to live without "stuff" the last 10 years, I really can't see the point in much of it. I've got nothing worth stealing except my laptop and my phone. I rather like it that way.

Notes to self;

Use caution when planning surprise visit to those who list both "firearms" and "glasses" in case of a "shoot first, put glasses on later" policy.

Decide if I am in a "carrot or stick" mood when visiting those with both treats/cookies next to tasers/knives/teargas, etc.

Srsly. debating on pros/cons of mustard vs. choclate in the bedroom.....

Ditto, pretty much, except the grandma with a garter gun. My grandma had hers in her purse. She had fire engine red hair. Her name was Dolly Clements who came from hearty pioneer stock.

[cara]

my bedroom is only wide enough for my full-size bed, so I don't have a bedside table. :-)

[starryeyes]

Embarrassing enough, I have 2 empty coconut water containers that I need to throw away, bobby pins, some loose money and a cleaning product. Maybe I should use the cleaning product and clean it off. Haha!

Mine also had the red hair. Her last name was Wingfield. She always claimed to be "kin" to the Hatfields....a distant cousin or some such. lol

When Ruff and I moved into our apartment it was all good. One day I saw what was going in around me and we got our little Chihuahua less than a month after moving in. She is one hell of an alarm when someone knocks and I'm thankful we got her
