Ghee, I need to get out more

I wish we had news about what is going on around us. I hear syrens and we never hear what happened. I was almost run over by three police cars going to something and we didn't hear what it was about. Most of our news is about what is going on in Vermont. But we live in NY State. So go figure,.

Oh of course, we even missed a sidewalk sale because we didn't know it was going on on the corner from our house.

Most definitely! Though it's possible I would get a text on my phone from my son or daughter if they knew something was happening. And I suppose a call if it was dangerous in any way! We did have some sort of home hostage incident going on a few miles from here, between the town I live outside of and the next small town over.. but I never did even get all the details on that..

There's alot of things that go on in my town sometimes near where i live or further in town and I never hear about it until I either read it on the news or see it on TV. It's amazing the things you hear go on and be like where was I when this happened? It's scary some of the things you do hear, there's been alot of bar fights recently and stabbings at bars and just crazy things like that. People get way to carried away on things. NO where is safe anymore.

Yes, things go on that i don't even know about. Guess i'm like u & need to get out more, lol or at least look out the window. Haven't had anything quite that serious, thank heavens. U take care & be safe.

It's very quiet in my neighborhood for the most part. I think I've seen the police on this street once in the four years I have lived here. And that was for a family dispute. I live in a semi-suburban, semi-rural area and most of the residents are of retirement age or just below it. I don't watch television much and sometimes go for days without seeing the news. But I have a neighbor who keeps two police scanners on all of the time and she lets me know when there is 'breaking news' (in the entire town, no less). I have lived in big cities and had to wear earplugs to get to sleep sometimes. I'll take the out of town places over city dwelling any day.

Oh yeah, it makes you feel like a hibernator or a hibernating idiot, doesn't it? lol My husband and I had that happen to us a few times and we didn't know a thing about it till the incident had passed. We were like, What? When? Where?! But we do live a ways off the road so it's no wonder we miss a lot of the 'action' that goes on in the neighborhood.... which is just fine by us!! lol We like our peace and quiet.

Yes there are things that happen around me and I do not know about it.. I do not really watch the news either, unless I happen to catch the weather.. Too much negative stuff on the news these days.. and well nothing has really changed... hopefully one day it does... we're just not there yet... If I need to know something I have some neighbors that are good friends and they will let me know...

It could have been that you were lucky to be inside and knew nothing of it. You would not have wanted to be out there if shots were fired. Things happen all the time that the majority of us know nothing about, they never make the news even in the local paper. Just 200mtrs away at night some youths set fire to a evergreen hedgerow and the ash was scattered up to 400mtrs. This burning hedge and the attending fire brigade must have caused a great deal of commotion we knew nothing of it at the time. Next morning my car needed washing as it was covered in white ash. Don't worry, your not on your own being in the dark.
