What is on your bedside table?

I am a basic guy. On my bedside table is a bottle of water, chapstick, a lamp, photos of family, and an emergency light. That is it, just basic stuff.

hey Chad..understand your concern, but we've had a Meth lab raid a few houses down, and a burglary too. We're pretty sure we have a dealer a street over. We kind of have a unspoken neighborhood watch but we're gone part of the day. I'm from Seattle and had a few close calls. If you live in the country, you're lucky. Where I live it's known as the Meth county of the state. I don't relish the idea of having to use protection but i'm a woman and often alone. In the world i live in you have to take reasonable measures to be safe, if you don't you're just foolish-

Kitty my dear friend,

I apologize if I offended you. I know many folks that need guns in their lives. Please accept my apology.

I am terrified of guns for good reasons.

I am sorry,
Chad

Chad, no need to apologize. You are a beautiful person and seem to have a really nice life, that's wonderful. I wish I could say the same. I was raised from a tiny girl with loaded guns all around me, under beds, sofa cushions, cupboards, under my dad's pillow. I was awed by my dad and he just had to say "don't touch" and i can say I never did. Curious, yes but knew i just better not. Living around guns was everyday normal for me I never thought for a second it was weird. It wasn't until I was a young lady that I came to understand how powerful and lethal they were because i'd never handled one til then. I wasn't in love with them then and sure am not now. They are dangerous tools that you hope you never ever have to use.

Thank you my dear friend,

I am sorry that you had a life with guns.
My dad had guns my entire life. I even took a gun safety course. Unfortunately, guns were aimed at me and I almost lost my life. That is why I am terrified of them.

Stay safe my friend,
Chad
