Make sure all parties sign a waiver.
Acceptable...

Again, a clever plot to just make sure he sees squid naked.
You forgot to mention my gallons of ink. The ladies love the ink.Two arms can't compete with eight plus two tentacles.
Damn you Squid for ruining it for all the rest of us!
Keep adding insult to injury and it's Calimari City for you, buddy!
The mailman rang the doorbell cus I had a package and I nearly hit the ing roof. grrrrr. Gonna take some time I guess.
Good news is I won a prize in some pepsi sweepstakes and I got a whole load of free stuff. Some xbox crap that I will give to my brother the video game junky and an itunes certificate, a free 12pack, a little disposable camera, an autographed pic of some nascar dude and other crap I havent looked through yet. Things are looking up, I got an xbox backpack, y'all!
I also went and told my neighbors. I didnt want to petrify them but I thought it best, especially since we had a description. Never hurts to be on the lookout, right? Was I wrong? In retrospect I wonder if I shouldnt have done this.
You get all that PLUS Squid is coming by to see you?!?!?!The mailman rang the doorbell cus I had a package and I nearly hit the ing roof. grrrrr. Gonna take some time I guess.

Talk about making the best out of a bad situation!
Why do you question having told them?
duuuude.. I am questioing EVERYTHING right now. Plus, the two ladies across the street, they got all paranoid and one looked like she was going to start crying. They asked if I wanted company and I said no- I don't need those dramatic little viejitas here, I would rather be alone.
BTW, my beanpole of a 16yr old brother is coming over to have dinner and cheer me up and he is staying here with me tonight. Not the safest choice but - anyone will make me feel better and he is like the ONLY family member who isn't all telenovela dramatic and won't make me more jumpy.
The house of the neighbor of a friend of mine just got broken into, they took everything. Within 24 hours, my friend's father had the entire house equipped with a new security system and cameras all around the house with infared sensors.
So sorry Mel, the feeling of intrusion in your home, especially with you still in there, is beyond frightening.
Wow, Melmart, that must have been terrifying. It's bad enough to be home alone after watching some scary movie, but to have experienced an intrusion like that first-hand would have be jumpy too. I'm glad your beapole of a brother is there with you....it helps to have at least someone there.
I'd make sure, once your roommates come back about installing extra locks on the door for protection or some kind of security system.
Speaking from personal experience, owning a gun is the only way to go if you want to feel 99% at ease. Especially when you're confident in your ability to use it. Pepper spray isn't going to do much good when you're facing an intruder who has a gun. My advice would be to get a handgun and practice with it at a shooting range as much as you can until you're comfortable with it. It's a great way to blow off steam after a tough day, and you'll be prepared to use it if/when it ever comes to that. It's better to have it and not need it, as opposed to needing it and not having it.
I agree, especially since there are no kids in the house. Handgun in the dresser and shotgun on the wall.
Mel,
I'm sorry to hear about what happened to you today. I'm just glad that you are ok. I've never been through something like that, but I'm sure I would be freaked out if it did happen. I know It's hard but try not to think about it and enjoy your evening with your little brother.
My thoughts and prayers are with you...
Thanks for all the well-wishes guys!
My roommate, the homeowner finally came home. He was like a deer in headlights at first, then pissed off. He has hit the ground running, we are getting some new doors on the front and back that are like those burgler bars or whatever they are called, so there will basically be two doors (we will REALLY look west side now!
My hands aren't shaking anymore. Knowing how concerned he is and having someone else in the house has helped tremendously. I might go and have that vodka now, I have orange juice to mix it with. Screwdriver, here I come!
That's great news, Mel.
Awesome to hear your roommate is being as proactive as you say he is being.
Now you can at least calm down some and try to regain some peace of mind.
Enjoy that drink!
Thats some crazy isn't it?
And a high powered hunting rifle in the gun cabinet just in case the dirtbag is lucky enough to make it out the door and down the street.
My roommate just told me he is considering a shotgun now. He is scared and really pissed off. I am just not sure for me though.
Also, he expressed concerns about his rights with an intruder should he kill him. I honestly myself don't know, anyone here well-versed in Texas law? And I don't mean "i heard" cus that isn't always true. I am sure some here have probably taken a proper handgun course or something where law was covered. Anyone that can give me the scoop would be well appreciated.
I was under the impression that it was legal in the state of Texas to be able to carry a handgun.
Has this changed in recent years or something?
Crime is in every community. Yes, even the northside of town.
double post.

Can't say I'd be so indecisive if I were in your shoes. But then again, I have a wife and kids. Even if that weren't the case, the thought of being raped and murdered (if I were female) would definitely be enough to make me do whatever it takes to make sure that didn't happen. I'd blast a hole through anyone who kicked my door in, but that's just me.
That's why I have three guns here. All ready to go.
