2,5, and 10 get me. I sit in church sometimes and just start sweating thinking about what I would do.

As for the bobcats, don't need to worry about them. Being an outdoorsmen, I have been up close with many. I actually just filmed one at 20 yards this past weekend. They are skiddish, and normally aren't aggressive enough to attack a kid. They will most likely run away at the first sighting of a human. Now a pack of coyotes on the other hand....

Yeah that's nice and all. But OCD is often not conducive to reason and logic. Haha.

But Tis good to know about the wildlife

I was actually trying to scare you with the coyote line.

Don't mess with Texas?

Lol guess not

Man, you guys are getting me teared up. My dad is struggling with Parkinson's and I worry about what it's going to be like some day without him. I've been lucky to have 40 years of his guidance so far.

But with a 9 and 3 year old girls, I fear even more what if would be like to lose one of them. I think life would be a hollow shell of what it is now.

Sorry to add to the solemnity of this thread.

Circle of life guys. Let's move on now.

I hope Zach has had enough time to take care of family matters and will be here for Spring camp

Oh, brother, you are not the only one.

Some scenarios I worry over (sometimes obsess over) and think about plans, if possible, on how to react to protect to my kids :

1) fire in the house
2) gunmen attacking at church.
3) bad guys breaking in at home
4) kids falling down the stairs
4) kids getting kidnapped or lost
5) gunman attacking my kids' school
6) kids drowning
7) kids suffocating
8) kids choking
9) kids falling and hitting their head/eye on something
10) kids getting molested
11) bobcats (ok, maybe some explanation on this one. Haha...one has been sighted in my neighborhood. And at night I go outside to pee in the backyard sometimes. And I wonder about if the bobcat is out there and could jump in the open door. And could get me first and then the kids would be vulnerable.)

I don't know what I'm gonna do when they start driving. And when my girls start wanting to date.

Ever thought about getting indoor plumbing?

Bobcats definitely a huge concern.

Sam, what hood do you live in? Remind me not to look your way if we're neighbors.

I hear you man.

It's tough. I have OCD already as it is. So I am a worrier by nature.

Having kids has heightened my sense of fear and anxiety because I am concerned so much for their safety. I drive my wife crazy sometimes with my safety concerns and over-the-top worry.

Also, It is part of my nightly routine to go around and check on my kids in bed. And I stand there and make sure they're breathing. And if "needed", adjust their sleeping position and/or their blankets' position because I can envision a blanket somehow covering their face and suffocating them.

When my new baby gets to her own room, that will be 4 I have to check their breathing status before going to bed. Ha.

But it's kind of cool also to sometimes just stare at them and reflect on how awesome they are and how awesome it is that God has allowed me to be a dad to them.

You're a good man Sam.

 

[Vol464]

Ever had OCD?

Nope. But I have peed outside.

Haha. I'm over here on central pike, semi-close to Wilson central HS

As God originally intended.

You spotted him?

Whew. I'm off Central Pike, but closer to Davidson County.

I do love to pee outside tho. Just like God intended. Manly and free.

 

[volssam]

I assume you knew I was joking about the indoor plumbing?

Haha. Of course. No worries. I try to have a sense of humor about my OCD. Helps my sanity.
