Been up for two hours in the middle of the night. My partner and I (and all of our pets lol) woke up to gunshots up our street. He was a police officer briefly about ten years ago, so he analyzed the street from our window and started looking for his gun (for protection). We didn’t see or hear anything else on the street so we laid back down after about a half hour of being up. Like five minutes after we lay back down we see a flashlight bobbing around. One of our neighbors called them because of a domestic situation. So my partner goes out to talk to the officer and tell her about the gunshots. They didn’t even know about them until he told them. They’ve been back and forth from our house three times now. They’re looking for bullet casings right now. Our dog has hella anxiety and was worried because he’s not used to being up and my partner kept having to go outside. I got up to sit with him while everything was going on. My anxiety is so high right now. I took a dab to try to relax. It’s helping a little, but I’m so awake and shaky now. (From the panic. Not the dab lol) I hate guns. I know my partner has one in the house. He’s obviously trained how to handle one — he also worked armed security jobs for a while. I’m trained to handle them as well, but they still make me so uncomfortable. I don’t really have a question. I just don’t have many friends and needed to vent a little. I suppose tell me your favorite joke in the comments? I need some cheer in my day.

      Hi. Working night shift. Recently was told a morbid blonde joke. Hope it’s not too dark. A blonde was at a bar and started talking to this guy. He ordered his special beer. Drank the beer and then flew out the window. He came back got another special beer and took off flying. She asked him how he was able to do this and he blamed the beer. She said do it again and i might try it. So he drinks a third beer and takes off through the window. So the blonde orders the beer and jumps out the window- it didn’t work. The bar tender looks at the guy and says “superman, you’re an ass when you’re drunk.”

      I’m lucky enough that my bf is a cop and our apt complex advertises the fact that the police live here lol so crime at our apt complex is pretty low, but I’m a paranoid parrot and so we bought a ring doorbell camera. I swear it’s helped so much having that there. I used to open the door and peel out if I heard loud noises outside our door. Now I can creep on the front door from the safety of my blanket cocoon lol. My dads house though is RIGHT by the ghetto, swat team called out every other weekend, shootings almost every night. Scary stuff that I grew up around. Never paid it too much thought until I moved out for the first time, I moved to Chicago, and I think it was the gunshots out there that really made me uneasy, I never really felt at ease anymore when I’m home alone. We have lots of guns in our apt too, and he’s obviously trained on how to use them lol and I know how to use most of them and have fired most of them before. I don’t really have any jokes except these two. What did one stop light say to the other? “Stop looking I’m changing!” Lol and this one Why was 2019 afraid of 2020? Because they had a fight, and 2021. 😅

      So, this may be not everyone's cup of tea but here it goes. A guy was driving a car when a policeman pulled him over. He rolled down his window and asked the officer, "is there a problem officer?" "No problem at all. I just observed your safe driving and am pleased to award you a Rs. 5000 Safe Drivers Award. Congratulations! What do you think you'll do with the money?" The driver thought for a minute. Then he replied with, "Well, I guess I'll go get that driver's license." The lady in the front passenger seat piped up and said, "Oh don't pay any attention to him. He's a smart butt when he's drunk and stoned." The guy in the back seat whined, "I told you guys we wouldn't get that far in a stolen vehicle!" At that moment, a thumping came from the trunk with a muffled voice asking, "Are over the border yet?" Your welcome, I'm sorry, it was google who told me this one so blame Google. Lol hope you are doing better. Don't forget to do some self care!

      That’s scary, my husband and I used to live in a worse neighborhood and shady stuff would freak me out too.. We’d hear gunshots. Idk nothing ever happened though. If I was feeling real freaked out I’d make sure the doors are locked and sit in the bathroom for a bit because I feel safe in there? Lol idk
