They say love is blind and irrational. They also say that love is the greatest feeling in the world - a type of ethereal happiness you don't feel everyday. Love is the stuff that leads to relationships and in some cases marriage....

Awinds Both are fallible. It is foolish to rely on either one for to long. :)

Awinds Well, we do have both for a reason. What you see makes sense - it seems one has the extreme the other does not and when we listen to both we can make a better decision. At times though one is better than the other. :)

Awinds I agree. What does it say about us as people when we just sit there and there is need literally right next door?

Awinds Well, we all have our limits. I suppose it comes down to how tight things are for you at that moment. :)

Before 2009 my family was what one would call upper middle class. Then our - and millions of other people's - main source of income took a major hit. Since then I have had the opportunity to think about bills. Especially those...

Awinds That does sound tight. Of course it is good you both have jobs - however that doesn't mean you are in paradise. I do hope things will - hour wise of course and not bill wise - will go up for you. :)

Awinds Out of debt so soon? You are quite the lucky one - and I really hope you can get out of debt as you plan to. Debt is what cripples one's finances and getting out of it a chief blessing. It is just good to hear about someone who is is getting out of debt -...

Awinds I am sorry to hear about your marriage - it sounds like it was quite rough! However I think what you are currently doing now and planning on doing for your father is much more kind than paying rent. It seems more helpful to. I do wish you and yours the best...

Awinds I'm sorry - I didn't mean to bring up unpleasant memories. That is quite unfortunate - however I do imagine loosing everything is quite a traumatic experience and then some.

Awinds What you would do is most neighborly. The lady does indeed have a family - a lot of family. For now she is staying at another neighbor's. I am really glad the community didn't turn her away in her darkest hour. :)

Awinds That is a good plan - to not only help the one whose house is on fire but to also prepare for the worst just in case. It does seem wise to remove what is important when the neighbor's house is on fire!

Awinds You know what, that is an excellent point and you are the first to mention it. It is someone else yesterday but what if it is us tomorrow? Treat others are you want to be treated - that really is a good rule to live by.

Awinds I agree! When it comes to fire there is really nothing us little humans can do. I just thank God there was no wind - that would have spread the fire with no hesitation at all!

Awinds That makes sense. As far as I know 911 is an American thing only. However it is good that you have places to call for such emergencies. I agree that just standing by is cruel to those who own the burning house.
