I don't know if it's the weather or the holiday time, but I hate this time of year because I feel extra worthless and inadequate.

Good for you for breaking into your neighbor's to let them know about the fire. That was such a brave thing to do!

And if it makes you feel any better, I'm a perpetual threadkiller. Usually, once I post on a thread, no one else posts. I have left several boards because of this, and I'm afraid to post on another board because I'm either ignored or the posts after mine stop. I'm hoping that's not the case on this board.
