3 armored swat vehicles just entered the area. (I'm sorry to lean on you all like this. It has been a long and stressful week. DH won't be home until 11 tonight and I've been home all day with the kids, including one who it turns out is genuinely sick. I just need to vent with (SILENTLY) to someone. Thanks for not judging. ) no judging here.....I think I'll be in here more tonight than on FB. in the past hour, I've seen all kinds of graphic photos from Monday that I've otherwise been able to avoid, as well as the damn morgue photo of suspect #1 that's been leaked out, all posted by friends of mine and appearing in my news feed. ![](http://syonidv.hodginsmedia.com/vsmileys/sick.png) I've hidden everything for now, but I do not have the stomach for that stuff...... ![](http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff155/JiminiChristmas/smileys/hug.gif) Like I said, just because you take a picture doesn't mean you need to publish it. Fortunately, I don't think my kids have seen any of the more graphic photos, but that doesn't mean they never will. ![](http://syonidv.hodginsmedia.com/vsmileys/melancholy.png)

Thanks SK, I'll take that as a compliment!
To bed with me now, hoping for good news tomorrow.

GRG, for now, you just have to do the best you can to keep your kids away from it for the next few days (I don't know how old they are).
If it's any comfort, in my experience, even if kids DO remember things, they don't look up the news or the photos. My DS3 was just 2 when 9/11 happened. One day we watched a plane overhead, and he asked (at 2!) "Is that plane going to die too?" It totally freaked ME out, but I just told him no, and that was the end of that for him. Of course I remember that incident, but DS3 (nearly 15 now) doesn't.

Local news just confirmed he IS cornered in a boat in the backyard.
More pops/explosions/gunfire.
SWAT team is moving in methodically -- concerned about IEDs. Older brother did indeed have a suicide vest on and died in part from wounds from some detonated explosives.

I agree with SK. I hate the sound of TV and all of those talking heads giving out disputing info. It's more accurate here and not so noisy!

They are now in high school. I've been telling them all week anytime the Marathon bombing came up that *I* believe that most people are genuinely good and that goodness prevails, so I think they are feeling somewhat secure. I also assured them today that I was staying home, not out of fear -- because I won't let fear dictate my life -- but because I didn't know if further lockdowns were likely.

Movement in "the structure" has stopped. Yup. And the helicopter with its floodlight has moved on.

I'll also say, don't push me tonight.....you're already pushing my patience with this ridiculous post.

Actually, Google Earth has a street view of the driveway of the home with the boat at the back end of the driveway. ![](http://images.proboards.com/new/wink.png) I am presently 15 miles away from Franklin Street. I spent many wonderful times in that neighborhood as a kid, though. My father's childhood home is in that neighborhood.

I hope she doesn't mind my answering....I'll delete if she wants me to. GRG's town is a couple away from Watertown, maybe 10-15 miles? I'm a bit further away, but I know that area pretty damn well. a good friend of mine from college grew up in that neighborhood, and his parents still live there. if y'all heard anything about Nichols St earlier today, we all walked that road more times than I'd care to count, between the local bar and my friend's parents' house back in the day.

His condition is unknown -- being loaded in the ambulance.
Law enforcement is safe.

If you do, they'll be deleted without warning and you may go with them. Take that as you like. mmhmm, Administrator

I've purposely have stayed away from the images. I don't need to see people suffering. I owe it to those who lost their lives to not give into that.
