First Saturday Siren test almost made me jump out of my skin just
now. :scared: SE MI tests their emergency sirens on the first Saturday of every month...today, I wasn't ready for it.

4. "what the .. " heart races ... and then
realization that it's just a test. I wonder though, if someday it won't be a test.

times have changed and are changing, we can only HOPE that it gets better.

can't we?

6. Yes we can. It is heartening to see "We the People" banding together
a little bit more at this time. I think the realization that we are all in this together (without the help of the Government) is becoming more clear to a lot of people.

They're so loud! They've made me jump a little this week too.

5. I'm kind of glad I don't live in Mid WI anymore where they were everyday
at noon in the 70's...I'd be a basket case by now. :hi: How's the day after the Crown Royal experiment going? ;)

7. They used to be every day?! Whoa.
That would make me a basket case as well.

The day after is a-ok! Thanks for asking. I fell asleep on the couch watching So I Married an Axe Murderer after going out with some friends. Now I'm making a mix cd, and enjoying as much of my day with the house to myself as I can before the boyfriend comes home from Michigan.

:D
