Heh, my hubby's younger cousin used to sing that ALL the time! We tease her about it, now. She will be graduating college in a couple of months.Originally Posted by staceysue
Glad things got semi-resolved with the scary guy. I live in the boonies and think about this on my solo rides.

We all have our own personal earworms, but not having kids around me I hadn't heard of two of them here - "The Song that Never Ends" and "The Song That Gets on Everybody's Nerves" ...
so of course I had to go to You Tube and check them out
I am alone so there was no one to say "step away from the keyboard Catrin, you don't want to know what those songs are"

Oh I knew better than that! Songs I never heard and can tell I don't need to.
Except.... now that you've got me thinking about songs that loop around to the beginning...
There was an old man named Michael Finnegan
He had whiskers on his chinnegan
Along came the wind and blew them in again.

Staceysue-
So glad things seem to be less dangerous than they appeared. I hope they continue to improve for you, and that you don't have any more scary incidents.Most days in life don't stand out, But life's about those days that will...

Ack...I haven't thought about that song since I was probably in 4th grade! NOW it's in MY head! Originally Posted by OakLeaf

I feel dumb for being as scared as I was - but he's such a big guy and I had been warned about that other guy being dangerous and got them confused. I guess I'm not as together as I thought I was. Maybe I do scare too easily - but when I was younger I didn't scare easily enough and nearly got myself hurt that way. Maybe some day I find a happy middle!

Don't feel dumb. Sounds to me like you were being very sensible. It's creepy and threatening behavior. Now that you know the guy is harmless, now you can behave accordingly, but I would definitely not have assumed from his behavior that he was harmless! And you mentioned that other people have confused this guy with someone else who was not harmless, either, so it wasn't just you. I'd say you're plenty "together." Originally Posted by staceysue

One of the not so great perks of getting older is the feeling of vulnerability. You were just exercising your right to self-preservation. Originally Posted by staceysue
