[QUOTE="Shari, post: 57902, member: 1848"] Thanks, all. Sometimes I'm just a geek when it comes to social things. Here I was miffed, and wondering "should I be miffed???" Sheesh. I'm old enuf to know that my gut has treated me well....maybe someday I'll listen. As for a reply, I didn't have to say a thing. Arlene came back in defense of the man. He's a young father, the mom was on drugs, and the dad ditched her some time back (she said things were hairy whlie mom was stil around, tho). The mom is far away hooked up with some other guy and bringing another defenseless life into the world. Since mom's been gone, Arlene has asked this man to watch her daughter while she runs a quick errand or to the store, and he has been willing and glad to help out. She truly feels he's trying, maybe has some of his own things to work thru, and she wants to help him and his little girl. Ms. Bible Verse, who had also said "give him a break for what? So he can drink some more or bring another woman into his home", changed her tune a little, then quickly rambled on about the updates on her myspace page. I just did a little research. I didn't find any more than her 2 verses in the Bible that tells you to stay out of your neighbor's home, but I counted upwards of 10 places that it said to love and help your neighbor. Certainly not scientific research, but I felt a little better about being miffed. LOL Thanks. [/QUOTE]
