Shut off water at home???

If this thread was my only experience I would be thinking that pipes are bursting everywhere, but it's not my only experience. In my experience I have never known anyone who has had a pipe burst in their house while they were on vacation. One of my friends had his bulk head give way and his entire back yard fell into the intercostal, but he was home. I have a brother who walked into an elevator and was electrocuted. He survived but has severe burns. I even have two separate friends who hit the lottery.... But not one burst pipe. My late father used to say, "don't take life too seriously everyone makes it to the end." My late mother used to say, "I have too many people I love to worry about things." I'm proud to be their son. So I'm not going to shut my water or unplug things. I'm going to ask God to protect us and joyfully go about my days and if and when life throws a curve ball I'll field it.
