i yam joyous...
 

I don't have a large nightstand.

I just layer.

candle, body spray, hardback book, prescription bottle, mascara, almost empty bag of chex mix, little basket of fabric hair flowers, glasses, bottle of mio, a charger of some sort (I dont know what it goes to), random earrings, cold medicine, pink razor, lotion, eye drops, a coupon for vitamins ($2 off!!), car charger for my cell phone, one lone hot pink bangle bracelet, a framed 5x7 of Stargazingboi.

I don't have a bedside table I have a bookcase head board. Items include but are not limited to....My Bible, Qtips, kleenex, remote controls, water bottle, fan, lamp, dust, a pistol and my hat:cigar2:

Oh yeah and I forgot to add ... next to the Ikea lamp with the paper shade on my night table there's my Glock 19, my LadySmith Revolver (it's corny but I like corny), my Baretta 92F, my pretty little Ruger, my 38 Special (that was actually my first), my Taurus Small Frame Revolver, my sweet little S&W M37, my Kahr K9, my heavily customized Kahr E9 (which is starting to bore me), my Taurus PT111 (I just keep it for nostalgic reasons), my EG Makarov, and my good old Glock 27.

Okay just kidding. I don't have a gun, though I grew up visiting my grandparents' farms and ranches where everyone had rifles, because they needed them for taking care of wild things that might menace the chickens or calves. And then my parents had guns, and I think my sister does, but I'm not sure. Oh and I had a lover who had a rifle, and she kept it on the floor by the mattress in a cabin we slept in sometimes upstate.

I think I'm processing how it feels to learn so many people here on the Planet say they have guns.

So I tried saying it too to see how it felt, and kind of rolled the gun talk around in my mouth and played with it, which is of course a silly thing to do. I'll never get a gun, but I do like the vocabulary of small arms.

My first thought was....DUCK! You had me going. Were you Cagney or Lacey?

Island scout you crack me up. :)

What is on my nightstand?

My nook

An Angel nightlight that my sister gave to me, to remind me that my Mom is close by.

Dvd remote and the TV remote

Landline telephone

and on Her side,

cell phone

clock radio

a candle

the ceiling fan remote

and a scuba piggy bank

hahahahaha SSSHHHHHH. What are you trying to say ?

I have a loaded gun in my night stand. And one upstairs in my office and a rifle in my closet. What's the big deal ?????

Isn't there a GLBT gun club? I swear I read that somewhere.

Are you telling me you don't?
