I’m not sure how good a neighbor someone is when they are so ‘boisterous’ that it takes a while to figure out her screams while burning alive aren’t just normal behavior. And the neighbors seem more concerned about the dog than they do the woman.
Acetone isn’t something to play with... I hope this woman gets better. I know burns are horribly painful.
The comment about the boisterous neighbor seems a bit odd. It’s generally a nice peaceful neighborhood. The homes in that area are mostly from the 1950’s and 60’s. It’s filled with a mix of older long-time residents and singles or small families. Typically quiet, in my experience.
There is no age, nor any other indication of whether she is done having kids, therefore its too early for declaring a Darwin Award winner. Smoking Kills!
Yes, I took that to mean that whooping and yelling were common from that house.
Sounds like it. Hope she recovers OK.
