I've been contemplating for a while on whether or not to get a home security system. Since I live alone and have health issues I'd just feel safer with the added protection a home security system provides. I haven't asked my son yet (the cop) about which one he thinks is best.

I did some research on the Internet and found page after page of complaints about ADT. Ackerman wasn't much better. I can't find a single service provider that doesn't have a plethera of unhappy customers out there. I know there's bound to be some glitches.....especially right at first.....but I'm really disappointed that there seems to be no good service provider.

Plus, I'm very untrusting to begin with and really don't like the idea of some stranger coming into my home and seeing just how vulnerable I am. Even if they are with the security company.

I would just keep a gun in my closet but I have no strength in my hands to use it so all I could do would be throw it at someone. Unloaded, of course.

What do ya'll do? Maybe I need to get a dog.
