Well, as I had mentioned in my previous article, there have been some things going on.

Now, We find out when a policeman comes to the door that the American Legion across the street from us was broken into the other night. I begin to think that we might need some security cameras to watch the neighborhood. Not only was the Legion building broken into, but the water department for our city was also broken into. The officer was trying to find out if anyone had seen anything when this happened. We were one of the first to have him visit since we live so close to where it happened.

The park down the road from us has its own troubles, too. There are hookers and drug dealers, or horny males hanging out there a lot. So much for the kids being able to play without any trouble.

Her family is still trying the get him to let her back into his home, in spite of the trouble that she has caused.

My previous article explains what has been going on.

It is not over, yet, unfortunately.

My husband and I have a brother that we care about dearly.

Sunday night he ended up in the hospital. We still do not know what caused his collapse. The hospital is still running tests. Tonight, we found out that his blood sugar was 252 which is one clear sign of Diabetes.

He ‘wife’ was kicked out of his apartment since she is not on the lease. She has refused to sign the papers which would certify her for residency. She has constantly stolen his money for her drug use, even to taking money that he had set aside for him to get 5 prescriptions after his recent hospital stay.

When she was told that she would have to leave, her only concern was how to get a ride to where ever she was going. She did not even ask where her husband was or if he was even alive. She showed her obvious lack of compassion or concern for his well being by stealing his medicine money for illegal drugs. She had been gone from the apartment since Saturday night.

This situation has put him in the hospital. There has been so much tension in his home, so much stress. It is very sad.

I’ve grown up hearing people talk about “common sense”. What ever happened to it? I don’t seem to find it being used, at least not very much.

Common sense says: if you drive too fast you use more gas, wear out the engine of your car and get speeding tickets. Yet, yo see people speeding, weaving in and out of traffic, endangering other’s lives.

Common sense says: if you use drugs, your life gets messed up. It’s illegal, dangerous, expensive and ruins you and your family. However, statistics show that drug use is up.

Common sense says: if you drink alcohol, you shouldn’t drive. However, each year DUIs are increasing, people get hurt and die.

Common sense says: if you can’t see where you are going, slow down, pull over and stop. Yet, recently in Florida over 100 vehicles were smashed up, their occupants hurt, some killed. Why? The passengers in these vehicles weren’t given a choice. The drivers sped down the highway into fog mixed with smoke and crashed. Why didn’t people do the simple thing and avoid the danger?

I wonder if people have forgotten that there are consequences for the things they do. When you make a choice in a type of behavior, you’ve also chosen to face the consequences that come with the behavior. It’s very simple, almost like pushing over the first domino in a long line of dominoes. You realize that one falling will cause others to fall. Your choice is simple, if you don’t want them to fall, don’t knock down the first one.

It’s almost like people have forgotten how to think or reason. Common sense is no longer so common. People in society appear to be running around like little children, acting impulsively; then, wondering why things don’t work out. We appear to have forgotten that there are consequences for the things we do. Also for the things we don’t do. If we don’t teach our children to be careful or behave, we shouldn’t be surprized when they misbehave.

Common sense says: Wake up, people!
