RN We just got home from dinner out to find our front door standing open. Apparently, it wasn't locked good when we left. We are VERY fortunate that everything is still here, especially in this neighborhood. More importantly, both cats are still in the house. Boy, did we get lucky.

RN, Mamie316, that's not too bad (a few years). I'm a little surprised they told him the committees matter because it's really more about seniority than anything else (being union and all). Maybe the regional contract out there differs from ours on that. (There's the national contract but there's also regional things). It's a good job in any case. I've been there since 1999. You can't beat free insurance, weekends off, and paid holidays for part time work. Plus the raises are awesome and vacation accumulates pretty quick. The discounts we get aren't bad either even though they don't include discounts on shipping. I've gotten three computers using the Dell and Gateway discounts over the years, 25% off Verizon service, Shoes.com...

RN Twinkie gave me heart palpitations. That happened to us in San Francisco when the garage door didn't go down. Of course, in those days I carried a gun, so I left Bigdog in the garage while I "swept the house."

RN glad everything was ok, Twinks. We had that happen to, though the front door was wide open when we got home. At the time we guessed that maybe the front door didn't latch all the way and the wind pushed it open. Luckily we have a security metal screen door that's black so you couldn't tell the door was open unless you walked up to it. RN my head is pounding. It's not a real headache, it's a head pain!

RN Thanks Juju and War. It scared the crap outta me. The door was standing wide open. Hubby went in first while I stayed outside. Of course, I was still scared until both cats were accounted for and nothing was missing. I sure hope that never happens again. I don't think my heart could take it. LOL

RN Chili, yeah, like I could have stopped him. Hubby went charging in there so fast he was ready for battle. LOL I just stayed out on the front porch until he yelled it was okay. I'm just so glad it was him that locked up and not me. Not my fault! LOL I'm also glad my babies slept the whole time we were gone. They were in the same place we left them. On the bed.

RN, hearing about Twinks door situation brings back sad memories for me. We had been in our house for 3 months and I came home to find the front door wide open! We had been cleaned out....even our clothing! When the police asked the neighbors if they saw anything, they just assumed we were "moving out"...sigh!

RN I live in the country. I have for over 20 years. We have never and don't tell anyone locked are doors. only when we go on vacation. I can't imagine what you all must feel when your personal things are gone through or stolen in your home. RN I have had my car stolen while at a family reunion in a park. Got it back a week later and it was totaled.
