Bermuda! I love Kizzie Kate designs (most of them) for the same reason. I feed my need to complete while feeding my enjoy-the-process drive. I was, for far too many years, the "designated driver" for the law enforcement guys with whom I worked. As if that wasn't bad enough, try driving nor with a car full of armed men who are drunk enough to give bad directions. Some of them give opposing bad directions and argue.

My worst night with them was going to an annual dance and awards party with these guys all in attendance, but going there with DH. Not far into the dancing, DH noticed that cop after cop came by our table and dropped their guns into my purse. It took DH quite some time to figure out that their weapons fell out of their holsters if they danced. I became their "gun safe". The scarier part was that, even in plainclothes, some carried two guns and one sergeant had three!

I laughed until I cried when they arrived at the end of the evening and ploughed through my pocketbook to find their particular gun/guns. Some did fine, but the truly drunk ones spent time searching. And yes, most of them know not to be armed when drunk, but what do they do? Arrest each other?

You guys make me smile!

As long as nobody gets shot by accident! What a trip! LOL!! Does that mean that if I get "pulled over" by a policeman that I should ask, "Can I smell your breath first BEFORE I answer your questions?" or should I perform, "walk the line" method on him?

lol cop always get a bad rap but you have to remember they are human too with a very tough job. my late uncle was the local cop in our little home town. and I got rides to my grandmothers in the back of the patrol car boy did I get funny looks lol. he's gone now killed in the line of duty chasing a bank robber. needless because some people think the lights and siren don't apply to them

I'm sorry about your uncle. I didn't mean to give offense. THEY DO HAVE A DIFFICULT JOB and a dangerous one. You never know what type of person they are pulling over.....

One of these days I'll explain how I almost got arrested because I had left scented candles in my car for over a week when the police officer stopped me for speeding....

LOL! Bermuda, my DD got pulled over because the patrolman supposedly didn't notice her seat belt fastened. Let's just say he was very thorough in checking her driving record, looking over the things in her backseat (she had just picked up my stuff from our local version of the "blue apron"), insurance, questioning her presence in his neighborhood, then, all of a sudden, lightening up. Later, there was a news update on FB describing a brazen bank robbery by a woman in Harrah that they described my daughter to a "T"! :) She didn't mind getting pulled over, just puzzled...but was shocked at what could of happened when she read the news! We have all laughed till we cried with our versions of "what if...". :) It's like she's carrying on my traditions of unusual situations! :)

LOL! Isn't it crazy? Some of the crazy but INNOCENT things that happen.
I got stopped by a police officer in our residential area, coming home from grocery shopping one day while the children were in school. The officer took my Driver's License to check it out. When he came back to the car, I asked him why he had stopped me (I was going under the speed limit... that time). He said, "It looks like your license plate is expired." "This can't be!" says I, "My husband just put the stickers on both cars last week!" "Well, it's missing now" says he. It showed we had paid for the current stickers.
Found out later...one of the kids had peeled the sticker off!

My son is a reserve policeman. He's a very tall ex-football player, but gentle with a heart of gold. He says everybody wants to tell him their life story. He says he has heard a lot of them. Maybe because he looks like a 6'5" giant and very intimidating in his dark uniform. God bless Peace Officers everywhere!
