emptychair I wonder why the boat overturned? If the children were under the water, maybe they were not wearing life-jackets. The firefighter did very well to rescue the children, well done indeed.

emptychair They did well to rescue the two people, and to control the fire quickly from spreading. Firefighters work in a very hard job, and we should take our hats off to them.

emptychair @Shiva49 My computer repairer told me Windows Defender was good enough for me as a home user too. Running more than one usually creates a conflict of some sort.

emptychair @Shiva49 Yes, but, if we are lucky the predators will pass over us, as we are too tough, and old, to enjoy to eat, but scammers are predators of a whole another kind, and really do prey on the old, and vulnerable. Some old man here, was recently fleeced of...

emptychair We are all upsent minded at times, but when we have responsibilities, we should try to be more aware of our actions, but it was good that prompt action averted a possible tragedy here.

emptychair @Shiva49 Yes, it is hard to understand why such major disasters keep happening if God is really overseeing things here, but then again, he might just push his buttons, for a small reset at times, as these disasters just move people into another plane, and...

emptychair It is hard to rescue someone not cooperating with the rescuers, but she might have been distressed, and disorientated, so didn't respond to their call to grab the rope bags. It was good she was rescued in the end, and is likely will recover.

emptychair @Shiva49 I doubt if he won such a frivolous claim, though. And, if the truth be known, it was probably his own soul, working with God, that decided he be born to those parents. Most wrong paths can still be corrected, if we wake up to the fact that we are...

emptychair It was good they didn't have to destroy the pipe. What goes in, should be able to come out. The set of tongs proved to be a very useful tool in rescuing the kitten then.
