If course I quickly acknowledged it, so my phone would stop wailing, so missed the details.

    So when you get an amber alert do you jump out of bed and start running down the street looking for children?

    I didn’t think so.

      No, I take a quick look at the alert and if it doesn’t apply to me I go back to sleep like an adult, why, what do you do?

        I am a light sleeper, whenever I have been woken up by these alerts I’ve been unable to sleep again for the remainder of the night. Not everybody can fall asleep easily like you do.

        And since you feel so angrily about the subject, perhaps you wouldn’t be so grumpy if you had a good night’s sleep.

          No, I’m simply not a self-absorbed navel gazer. I don’t expect the government to cater to my every need. I understand that sometimes I will be inconvenienced and I don’t throw myself on the floor wailing and tearing at my clothes while lamenting such a minor inconvenience when it happens. Grow up.

            But that’s exactly what you’re doing right now.

              “I know you are but what am I?”

              That’s pathetic.

              No, I’m not. I’m pointing out that the vast majority of us are well adjusted functioning members of society who understand that the extremely minor inconvenience of getting a few alerts can, and often does, make the difference between someone getting their kids back and not and were sick tired of the tiny, whiney minority of delicate snowflakes who just can’t function if their sleep is interrupted once in a while.

              Get over yourself.
