How bout if your house is on fire, the insurance has lapsed. You have the children and the wife next to you on the driveway safe & sound. You also have 3 stacks of high society in your wife's lingerie drawer, your bedroom, upstairs front.
Your next door neighbor, a soon to be octogenarian knows about the stacks, (you told him in a drunken stupor)---you spot this senior citizen tiptoe across the back yard---his abode to yours. 'Cully is going to get my boodle! That SOB!"
Do you go back in, or, wait to see if Cully comes back out with it and then ask him to float a loan the next morning & to return your wife's unmentionables?

Understood, MF.

A bit. I've learned that this isn't the usual Board that I'm accustomed to. I have to watch my p's & q's here & I don't always succeed in that quest. I try to go back and made amends, but, that doesn't always satisfy the insulted. My baser instincts & ribald sense of humor are not a good fit for this General Discussion Board.
It's a little disheartening to learn a portion of the MC roster doesn't consider me human. That is a wow moment for certain.

I don't know if you really understood my reference to 3 stacks of High Society. That's a reference to a line in "Rounders." 3 stacks of High Society is 30 thousands dollars, 10 thousand dollars each stack. Without the insurance one might be tempted to go back in for it especially if they knew precisely where it was. Since I knew as well where it was I was going to go back in the back door, get it, tiptoe back to my house and spend it online. LOL!!!
shareThank you, MF, for the clarification. I really appreciate your thoughtfulness.
And your seriousness about the situation of the fire. I finally, moments ago got it thru my thick skull what you were saying to me, what was being related. You're a fine fellow, MF. Bless-your-heart.
I like my dog and all. I didn’t want croft to shoot his dog. But when satan or that alien is in there, I go back for no animal.
And according to the Son of Sam, that dog might BE Satan! share

My cats have a similar devotion to me. They create a shield by circling around me as I walk, but they don't know what they're shielding me from.
shareI think cats get some bad press for being selfish and nonchalant.
If I'm sick mine comes and snuggles up with me. Mind you the little "shithead" can't usually abide me sleeping, he jumps on my chest and makes loudly until I wake up!
