OT/MISC Should I 'suggest' to DH to stay put?

OK.. My hubby has his semi-annual dental appointment at the Tama VA tomorrow .... He refuses to let me come along with him 'cuz he doesn't want me having to get p in the wee hours .......... We'd have to be there at 7'si for his labs and the dental app't itself would be near noon and at Tampa VA it's not unusual for app't times to run an hour or more late .......

My gut instinct is for us to stay put here ...... I'd so prefer to not be in Tampa proper if anything hapened and in a worst case scenario we'd be almost 50 miles from home and getting back would take maybe a few hours ......

Needless to say I am not happy with his suggestion I just stay here and he drives inalone ....... His health is not good and I often have to force myself to not be too over-protectie of him .. It's a fine line to balance and I don't want him to feel enven more limited than he his, due to his health........

So..... We've always been open and I don't pay those 'typical' female games of tears or sulking or geting loud .... But I really want him to decide / make it his choice, to reschedule his app't.............

Am I just letting the gloom and doom cloud my reasoning?

GO with him, have a GREAT big lunch "out" and come home happy.


take your BOB's though.

If TSHTF tomorrow, what would you be doing together out that you wouldn't be doing at home?

I know you are already well prepped. I doubt tomorrow the riots will break out. The Sheeple are still too stupified and will be walking around zombified waiting for the savior (little s) to come save them and tell them what to do.

I think the worst you would experience tomorrow would be a traffic jam as far as threatening situations.

Just stick to back roads and not the interstate coming home if something does happen.

Other then that, I would say go with him and like someone else suggested, have a nice lunch out together, chat and just plain love on that man of yours. It might be a long while before you have a simple lunch out with your man like that.

Good points, both of you make.

I'd feel better if I could be in a position to protect us but can't because the VA is fed property ...........

And we went out for lunch yesterday for my birthday

Also. my better half does not do well in crowds / stressful situations. And the last couple weeks he's been on edge with all that's happening that's beyond any of our controls.

Maybe I'll just suggest he rethink this and we'll decide when we wake up in a few hours........

Yeah I would stay home.. its just a dentist appt, It can always go on another day. Not like an emergency Doctor visit or anything.

(and that's coming from a guy who's dad was a dentist and hated cancellations.. lol)

My wife leaves tomorrow and will be gone for several days. She's flying to a city about 1000 miles from here, and like you, I try not to worry.

agree with eXe. As long as the appointment is just routine and he doesn't need a cavity filled or anything, you should both stay home.

Personally, I am doing only critical things over the next several days. Things are weird enough in the world that if I had my way, my BF and I would be at home 24/7. Thankfully his work is slow right now so at least he is home with the dogs most of the time I am at work.

I would stay home so I could watch the news, but frankly, I don't think much would happen tomorrow even if the markets drop another 1000+ pts. The real problem will begin when the bank runs start and everyone heads for the stores, but most people still feel the "gov" will fix it at this stage.
