Nailguns- am I dumb for resisting?

Oh she had to have been nuts, they where seperated at the time Granny was in Pascoag , R.I. Gramps in Phillie , so  she took a train to NY city , ran outta money , and hitch hiked on to Philly with at least one kid in tow (not my Mom they say )

She waited all day for him to come home , he was working the noon or so to midnight shift, she got his spare gun out ,from some place, and met him at the trolley station walked back to his house , she wanted to get back together , they say , he said no way and she shot-um on the front porch , emptied the gun , a 38 IIRC . Then sat at the table till the cops came .

She told then he had in the past hit her on the head with a bottle showed the scare to them , etc.

One of the TV shows I like right now is cold case , I should send in this storey to see if they'd like to use it , it's to wierd to make up  

Anyway I think don't know her heart condition was due to the electro shock they used to do at that time but who knows the state place is long closed down .

Funny thing was our / my Mom used to tell us kids to " Not get her WOP up!" Or there'd be hell to pay , She never told us what / why that should concern us  :-/ as we none of us kids knew squat about it .

And really it was Grandma who was the nut , I guess , and she was of French Canadian decent or so the newpaper clipping  a family member doing some back ground checking for anstrery reason turned up , I don't even know w hat her (granda's madien name was )

I know the WOP part's not to PC eh!! But heck Mom used it to describe herself.

I do wonder about myself and wether  not knowing  was good  :-/, I guess it was , all of us kids , one bro , 2 sisters 4 total have stayed outta jail, as   have our kids , so we didn't repeat what we didn't know  , sort of .

Another thing that bugs me is my Dad parents , the only Grandparents I knew , had to have known all this , other people intown , it was very small had to have known and here it took me 47 years to hear about it  :-/

So know you know way more than you want to , I'm pretty sure I know more than my Mom wanted me to

Very interesting, PEG.  What a colorful background.

I wouldn't want to have granny mad at me with a [highlight]nailgun[/highlight] in her hand.

Fred only shot me in the back once with the nailgun.  :-/

Back to the topic I see. Good going Glenn.

The question was answered in post #2 , if your building one house you do not need a nail gun , by the time you know how to use it effectively you'll be done .

One house to build hand nail it , you'll aviod shooting your self or some on else How do you think we built house's before the 80's , we hand nailed um , it builds strong bodies 12 ways along with a solid house thats pulled together.

So eh a lil drift is good , or so Glenn once told me   YMMV as may mine I see

As I tried to post earlier before my computer crashed, I wouldn't have missed your story for the world --- everybody loves looney bin stories --- Strange Brew was one of my favorites of all time, eh? --- and I think the question was answered to the best of our ability

Now to get that sneaky ad ware junk off my computer and find out what is locking it up once in a while.  May have to shoot it with my nailgun.
