I think that the sound of drilling gave the police circumstance bonus to Intimidate check high enough to compel the neighbors to open the door. Or maybe they actually drilled through the lock, I am not sure. Either way police officer went inside and talked and checked things. Now things are quiet but police cars are still standing outside and a few cops are around.
The primary concern was that there are multiple children inside and there were suspicions they might be subject to physical violence. Certainly there are physical fights between the neighbors but as they seem to be quite evenly matched when it comes to physique it is not simple case of him beating her.

How can one have a "favorite" HAZMAT story? :P
LOL! I have some interesting ones. Manufacturing, chemtech, ERT, and VFD were some things I did before going into EH&S.
The ones with explosions are some of my favorites.
I'll have to tell you how to use acid to light five tons of sand on fire sometime.
I'm not putting these on the web, however. :)

Last time I looked at my recommended pages on Facebook, they were suggesting funeral homes, tombstone engraving, Jack Daniel's, and Russian mail-order brides. Today, apparently, I'm supposed to be in the mood for three different brands of golf supplies, gay porn, and the movie 'Tron'. I don't know who Facebook thinks I am, but it needs to stop changing its mind like that.

Going by the second list, a golfer who enjoys watching Jeff Bridges in a skin-tight jumpsuit.
By the first list, someone who's just lost their wife and is looking to have a replacement ready for the funeral.

It's now switched to marriage counseling, cupcakes, Pokemon, a cocktail lounge, and women's hairstyling. Someone go poke Aberzombie or Clinton Boomer. There needs to be a series of narratives based on Facebook recommendations.

Mr Shiny, you have to understand that Facebook knows better than you do who you are. Quite simply, though you do not remember this yourself, you are obviously a man looking for an apron mail-order-bride to cover up the fact that you murdered your wife so you could be with your gay golfer lover. Cupcakes is well known to be related to porn, cocktail lounges goes well in hand with being gay, and Pokemon... ummm...
Anyway, if the police starts checking Facebook, you're done for.

Having no Facebook, I wouldn't know.
I fully expect a quoted edit that deletes "book" from that sentence.

What's a Facebook?
Facebook is an evil plot by the government of Luxembourg to achieve complete global domination. It's malicious, mind-controlling software masquerading as a social media website. It has succeeded in ensnaring thousands of innocent people and turned them into unwitting sleeper agents - ready at a moments notice to unleash their programmed Kung-Fu skills and advanced weapons training on an unsuspecting populace.

Eventually the handle broke off and we had to use a screw driver to open and close it. At one point we moved it to the small summer home we had in Bay St. Louis, MS. It stayed there for years (until we sold the place), then my brother took it to his hunting camp in south Louisiana. That place got taken out by a hurricane. The microwave is probably sitting on the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico even as we speak.
Our first microwave in the 70's was an Amana Radar Range. The thing weighed a ton and could probably stop small arms fire. I think that thing worked for about 20 years. It died with an actual mushroom cloud of smoke when it blew after getting dropped in the snow.
I miss things that last.
My friend moved into a house that already had a microwave in it. It had to be from the 70s and was operated by dials.
The best part was it did not have an auto-shutoff when you opened the door.
That's right. If you didn't remember to turn it off before you opened it, it would continue operating. o.O
Thank god I didn't grow up in that household. As a kid, I spent so much time in front of the microwave, praying to god that I would eventually develop mutant powers....A microwave that kept working with the door open would have had to have been removed from my home.

This is totally off-topic, but I just recently re-activated my Netflix account, and I have to say: browsing the instant-play movies reminds me of nothing more than going to the video store when I was a kid and leaving with the weirdest movies I could find. That's some nostalgia right there.
Yeah. It's cool finding old schlock on Netflix.
