I DID IT!
I've dreamed of owning a snub nose 38 with a maple handle forever. Hubby, who is probably wise in this matter, has kept me from obtaining a concealed weapon permit & gun. Now that I am "officially" in the throws of menopause and a teenager in the throws of puberty, well, would YOU want me packin' heat? ROFLOL I didn't think so.
So, I compromised. My grandpa, God rest his soul, had given me a sling shot years ago as a youth. Yeah, I did get it taken from me for, well, let's say being very diligent in my aim. So, I bought a REAL SLING SHOT AT THE HUNTING DEPT at Wal-Mart. This is my gift to me. Hubby thought this was a nut case thing for me to do and I would be safe. HA!
My youngest son (puberty) slipped me some rocks and we gave the ole sling shot a try. Now, I'm no fool and he wanted it, but no way! I gave it a whirl, told him where I was aiming and BAM!!!!!! Landed it right in the middle of the shed doors with a loud THUD! The shed is probably 20-30 ft away. We high fived and I said, "Hey, I still got AIM!" This is when we got caught by hubby! I just smiled innocently when he asked what was the racket, replied, "Nothing." and yes, not being stupid, hid my sling shot behind my back!
In all honesty, I lost my first sling shot from grandpa for chasing the neighbor's granddaughter with it. The rock just missed her skull because she ducked behind the tree branch.
NOW JUST A MINUTE! In my defense, she was cussing me, I told her to leave my tree I was climbing, she didn't, I gave her a head start, waited until she got her pants unhooked from the barbed wire, then jumped like a rabbit and went after her into her grandma's house where she was hiding. Yeah, well, grandpa had no choice but to take the sling shot, but I still think I was right. She didn't cuss me any more and she stayed out of my tree. Looking back however, if she'd not have ducked, it would've required stitches. Ah, well, we live and we learn.
I STILL GOT ME A NEW HIGH POWER SLING SHOT NOW! TA-DA and I still got AIM!
Considering I'm Jewish (both sides) aren't I just carrying on my "heritage" (remember David & Goliath)? Ok, that's a stretch.

Too funny! Enjoy your new toy my little David. Sounds like a great way to work off your aggression.
Yeah, soon as my wrist heals from surgery. Had 2 have a cyst removed. It hurt and I was afraid it was growing around nerves so had it hacked out.
