Among Friends

[Sooner]

@SharkE Many years ago a couple days after we'd moved to a new house I locked myself out in the rattiest, most awful, barely decent nightgown I owned. 

I had to slink down to a neighbor's house and knock to go in and call husband to come let me in.  I was mortified.

Yeah, he had guns not hand guns , but, like rifles of some kind gave to a gun enthusiast from church. They were old.

I wouldn't know how to shoot 'em anyway. kill myself probably. LOL

Put  in security on the windows and doors, garage door too, no outside handle on it either. Sleep in bedroom with deadbolt and another lock on the door. People have told me a 2 5/8ths deadbolt is your friend. All doors (only have

3) have deadbolts. 

Yeah, told the 2 cops glad to know it's hard to break in.

I'm more relaxed now, too. I can hear a flea sneeze my ears are like Supermans. Had to get used to house contracted and expansion. Ice maker kicking out ice.

One side of house has only one window and that's cube glass in bathroom. It's all frosted up now I won't clean it.

If I don't know you or have called you your not gaining entry. Most of the time I carry on conversations outside

no sense in bringing them in unless necessity. I'm pretty good judge of character got like a 6th sense.

I've been blessed with a handyman that I would trust with my life. He's a tad younger then me him and his wife have

been nice. He's not Baptist, but, I'll overlook it. We have a big joke about it he's from another denomination.

My security gadget in bedroom is electric, but, has back up battery if no electricity.

I told one of the cops I was glad that it wasn't winter time and there I was in a house dress, short sleeve.

You poor gals that had to freeze. Oh my !!!

@SharkE Considering where you live, I'm surprised you haven't taken a gun gunclass.  I was raised around guns, but took a class with some friends and it was a lot of fun, and I actually did learn some things. 

But when we took the test, I out shot 'em all!  Men and women!

I don't party, go to taverns, drive places outside my comfort zone. All my  vacation trips are behind me.

Don't place myself in dangerous situations.

Don't go to sports events. Any large crowds.

Way the law is I'd be the one that would do prison time if I was attacked and killed somebody. The bad guy or woman would walk free. Way my house is set up and with me being the cagey type I've got time to hit

911 before things got too hairy.

This was several years ago, I was coming home from work and no house key. My back storm door was open, however the back porch had a door that opened to the kitchen, and that was locked and idiot that I am, I left the key in the door. I had my parents dog at the time and she stood at the window and barked her head off not understanding why I didn't come in. Several hours later a locksmith got me in, but it is a helpless feeling .
