Hey, NQ. As promised, reading back through your posts, what pops out for me? Special Constable - you must have watched The Thin Blue Line!
Yep, Rowan Atkinson. I can’t take him as Mr. Bean, but in Thin Blue Line and Blackadder he was good. I still love cop shows today and crime novels – guess it’s in my blood. Maybe I should have joined the regular police force instead of just being in the reserve. Not here though – don’t like the thought of carrying a gun, and shifts don’t go well with kids.

Talking down a drunk is a lot easier than talking to my H these days. And I highly doubt I’ve got the mental stability to handle those tough situations these days – losing a kid does a lot to mess up the mind, now add a messed up M. It takes me all my strength not to go off the deep end some days.
Thanks for your support, and feel free to keep dropping TV references. It makes a nice change to just posting about the sitch.
