++ WE LOCK our doors now everyday, no matter where we are going or for how long. are we paranoid? not the door to the outside, because well yeah obviously (at least to me) we lock the outside doors. but we have locks on our bedroom doors as well. we've always had them, but just never bothered to lock them during the week, just on fridays when the little kids are having school at the place. but now, they are locked always. so what if someone breaks into our bedrooms? well they get everything in our rooms, but can't get to the rest of the house. basically our house now is a bunch of small locked rooms. i feel like i'm on star trek or the titanic and there is a disaster and everything needs to be locked down and shut off from everything else, so that everything else doesn't get contaminated or the house doesn't sink. the best part is the deadbolt is now a dual cylinder lock, meaning you have to hhave a key to lock and unlock it on both the outside and the inside. meaning if there is a fire, i better have my key in my hand, otherwise i'm either screwed (and by screwed i mean burned) or i'm going out a window (which wouldn't be hard either seeing as they are single paned windows). i wonder if its time to start looking for another place to live? i wonder if i can find any other place to live which is just as cheap, but safer. is there really any place thats safe anyway? maybe i'm just paranoid. ++
