See, we're really not freaks after all

We're by far not the only ones disinterested in religion according to this survey.

What do I have to do to get a quiet morning?

Good grief, what a morning. There was an explosion on an offshore drilling rig, so of course people who apparently pay no attention to what my husband does or what division of offshore oil he works in freak the hell out.

It took me less than 5 minutes on Google to get details that would have assured me it wasn't DH's rig. I didn't need to confirm it because my DH called me after talking to his freaked out parents to tell me it wasn't his rig, but still. We've been there with helicopter crashes that weren't even on crew change day that had people scared it was him.

It's tiring and stressful to deal with family jumping at shadows all of the time when I already know his job isn't safe. There's a reason we have an insane amount of life insurance on him, but there's a limit as to how often I'm willing to scare myself silly without rhyme or reason.
