I am hopeing. Nobody knows where they went to. The troopers didn't see them on their way up to my house. Hopefully, they are out of my area now.

I would say hopefully someone picked them up and took them away from here. But then it would be bad for that person.

You really did all the right things. Keep the dogs close and the gun closer.

Hopefully the fellow was telling you the truth and he really was lost. But just in case, keep your phone ready to dial 911.

My prayers are with you.

Thank you for your confidence in me. I tell you it is just getting crazy on this earth. Like that lady says on that one movie, "God won't let the earth stand like this!". I think it was Cold Mountain.

People on drugs are getting more and more brave about robbing and stuff to get things to pawn, sell or whatever to keep their craving satisfied.

I'm always afraid to even go shopping by myself. I'm so paranoid. I keep my purse super close. And every now and then, I check behind me to see if anyone is close to me. Just call me ole cautious!

Cautious is a good thing! I'm sometimes paranoid, but more often than not, I tend to be careless. I will step away from the grocery cart that has my purse in it...that kind of thing.

It's a shame good people are afraid in their own homes! People have no fear of harming others anymore.

Good idea! If I could get the building, I could throw six kittens too! And the Momma Cat! giggle

I do know my sisters cat will attack anyone. I don't like that cat. She's sneaky! And will hide and jump out on you! She's plain mean. My sister is the only one that can pet her. That's the devil cat!

Oh wow! You were so smart to do everything you did. This is one reason we also keep a loaded gun in our house and we know how to use it. Times just aren't what they used to be. I am so glad you are ok.

Well, I gotta go wee! And haven't went yet. But I'm going to have to!

I'll leave all the lights on if I go lay down. Anyone will think I'm still up.
