CCTV, in our world that means public camera for protection of civilians

Can you give a link?

Priscilla · Jul 12 2013, 10:43 AM

Fred & Eliza brought us back a five pound Hershey bar. I agree with what others have said about Hershey, it is pretty much junk compared to delicious European chocolate (Droste was a favorite of mine, though Swiss and Belgian are very good too). We will probably break the bar up into small bits and freeze it, then when someone wants a little bite they can have it. They did have a wonderful time going on all the roller coasters at Hershey Park.

Steak dinner last night was so good! I had my favorite creme brulee for dessert. It had a few raspberries, blueberries and blackberries on top. Mmmmmmmm!

mawra · Jul 12 2013, 01:36 PM

Kibby's wrist is much better, but still swollen. Now she does not want to wear her brace.

Mom has gotten 3 phone calls saying they are from some tech company and wanting her to get on her computer. She has hung up on them each time. I just hope other people have as much sense.

Priscilla · Jul 12 2013, 01:51 PM

Maw, we got some of those too. They were men both times with very strong Indian accents, I could hardly understand them. I also hung up on them.

About a week ago we got a call from some "cancer foundation". I asked the person on the phone if they were a paid solicitor company and how much money actually went to charity that they collected. I was told 15% goes to charity! I started to laugh and told them I would not want to donate to them. I don't think they liked it but, really!? This whole charity business from what I have read is something of a mess. I think there have been news articles about this on tv recently.

Allen · Jul 12 2013, 06:41 PM

Here's the latest necklace to be completed. It's a Full Persian weave, split so the necklace sides are symmetrical. The pendant is rutilated quartz that I wire wrapped. This is the one that seemed to take forever. The quartz is amethyst purple in color.

mara · Jul 13 2013, 06:42 AM

OOOOOOOOOO fantastic!!!!!!!

***Hans*** · Jul 13 2013, 10:26 AM

Great work Allen!

Maw, Cilla, yeah, we got that here too (the computer guys, not the charity "shams"). They usually say they are from Microsoft...

Cilla, that business around charity is disgusting but the charities themselves are sometime not a hair better. Here they investigated the Red Corss. Turned out only 10% of each euro actually made it to the goal... Their overhead is so bad... and they have a CEO that's paid at least as much as a huge business leader. I know there are enough worthwile and good charities bit this made me cross with the red cross (pun intended) off my list and that does not benefit anyone, I realise. Still I can only support so much charities and have to make a choice anyway.

Allen · Jul 13 2013, 11:35 AM

Thanks for the compliments.

The Red Cross here asks people to donate blood, which they then sell, most of the time. I've heard of read that after the Red Cross responded to an emergency or disaster, they sent a bill for their time and materials.

mawra · Jul 13 2013, 02:42 PM

There is a charity located very close to us that is the nations most effecent, meaning the money donated is spent on the charity not on raising money, Gleaning For The World. They sent supplies to 3rd world countries and disaster areas. We will sometimes donate to them. Beside them we donate to the local rescue squad & fire dept.

***Hans*** · Jul 14 2013, 04:44 AM

Maw, local charities are vastly different. It is the big international ones, like red cross, greenpeace and such that are so big the orgasantion and the big offices and the salaries of the management slurp up money.

Priscilla · Jul 14 2013, 08:51 AM

Today is the seventh annual charity motorcycle run/barbecue to raise money for the college fund of Mike's cousin whose dad died 8 years ago. Lots of good food cooked by another of Mike's cousins, who is a chef. There'll be raffle prizes, music by the band Mike is in, and about 100 to 150 bikes roaring off on an approximately 10 mile ride. Good cause and a pleasant day!

mawra · Jul 14 2013, 11:47 AM

Sounds like a fun day, Priscilla, I hope you raise a lot of money.

Gleaning For The World is a large charity, they send stuff all over the world. They have a very good rep for using money for what it is meant to be used for.

***Hans*** · Jul 14 2013, 04:29 PM

Cilla: photos or it didn't happen!

Priscilla · Jul 14 2013, 06:13 PM

Absolutely! I also have to add that there were more people wearing helmets this year, including our Jenn & Mike. Apparently it is finally becoming law in this state and I say ABOUT TIME! I did a video at the start but I'm afraid I accidentally turned the camera off before they started riding. Lots of noise but no movement.

The second picture is of Mike's bike with their new helmets. I didn't manage to get a picture of them riding away.

***Hans*** · Jul 15 2013, 04:34 AM

Wonderful bikes, Cilla, and I fully agree on the helmets. Like everywhere in Europe they should be compulsory in your country, too.

Which suddenly made me think: all your cars have seatbelst, are they compulsory to wear (like they are here)?

P'ter · Jul 15 2013, 04:49 AM

In Uk Sikhs, etc don't have to wear a helmet cos they're wearing turbans.

Priscilla · Jul 15 2013, 07:47 AM

I asked about that yesterday, Hans. I was told it is compulsory that people wear helmets in about 47 states and Connecticut is about to have it made law as well. I am not sure about seat belts, if that is a federal law or not. I know you must wear one in Connecticut.

P'ter · Jul 15 2013, 04:02 PM

In UK seat belts are compulsary, but only 3-point ones. The 5-point rally belts are illegal!

mawra · Jul 15 2013, 04:52 PM

Kibby has a boyfriend. It is offical, they up dated their Facebook pages. It is the same person who took her to the prom. Kibby is a Happy Kibby. Kibby told Hubby that her boyfriend was scard of him. Hubby is a happy Hubby. He thinks fear is a good thing where Kibby is concerened.

Priscilla · Jul 15 2013, 05:20 PM

I think it's lovely that Kibby has a boyfriend. I'm not sure I agree with the fear thing, though. But, every family is different.

kevia · Jul 15 2013, 06:53 PM

Mawra, I laughed so hard I nearly cried! I understand completely where "hubby" is coming from! I'm sure that as he proves he will treat Kibby well, boyfriend will lose his fear of "hubby" and they will get along well.

Come on in boy sit on down and tell me bout yourself,
So you like my daughter do you now,
Yea we think she's somethin else,
She's her daddies girl her momma's world,
She deserves respect that's what she'll get,
Ain't it son, now ya'll run along and have some fun,
I'll see you when you get back,
Bet I'll be up all night,
Still cleanin this gun.

Chorus lyrics to "Come On In", by Rodney Atkins.

Daddies feel that way about their little girls.

Priscilla · Jul 16 2013, 08:55 AM

Well, as I said, every family is different. Jenn did not start dating Mike until they were 20 and she did not date at all in high school (a wise decision if you ask me!). We loved him from day one so even if we DID own a gun (which we don't) he was safe from the evil daddy stuff. I'm also pretty sure that Eliza's parents like Fred.

It was 76 degrees at 6:30 this morning. It's going to be an indoor day as much as possible. I feel bad for anyone with an outdoor job and those that cannot afford air conditioning.

I understand many towns have set up "cooling stations" that people can go to.

This afternoon I fried an egg in a lidded frying pan out on the driveway. It cooked about 80% of the way. No, I didn't eat it. I just wanted to see if it was possible.

mawra · Jul 17 2013, 02:52 PM

Hubby has not done anything, but he is very large and does not really need to do anything. We have known the family since before the kids were born. Jayson was adopted when he was about 8 years old. They have known each other for 9 years. Kibby has liked Jayson (as boyfriend type like) since she was 12. He has not been intrested in anything other than being friends until now.

Priscilla · Jul 19 2013, 01:49 PM

The indoor/outdoor thermometer says it is 101. Yike and yuck!

GinnyStar · Jul 19 2013, 03:50 PM

Keep cool those in hot weather, and warm in the cold weather

It Wausau WI USA Clear 86°W/16 mph 5:30 a.m./8:38 p.m. 2013-07-19 11:54:00 With a heat index around 100 I think

Priscilla · Jul 20 2013, 12:14 PM

My idea of "too hot", yesterday.

Also, a pretty sunrise this morning.

GinnyStar · Jul 20 2013, 03:49 PM

I agree Priscilla, its cooled to the mid 70

Also I've found another Anne McCaffrey http://talentsuniverse.wikia.com/wiki

mawra · Jul 20 2013, 05:44 PM

It has been in the 90s all week here with a high humidity rate. There is suppose to be a cold front moving in, I'll believe it when I see it.

***Hans*** · Jul 21 2013, 04:47 AM

Temps are around 80 F here for a change. Wonderful. I am a heat liver, so hotter would be no problem but most of my fellow countrymen disagree

I finally have the feeling it is summer.

Beautiful photo, Cilla!

mawra · Jul 21 2013, 04:07 PM

I am not sure what is better the heat or the rain. It seems to be one or the other lately.
Since my goat just took a head dive into his house I have a feeling we are going to be getting a thunderstorm.

Kugai · Jul 21 2013, 04:57 PM

http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/8945...al-New-Zealand

OK here, but was a little shaken up. (No pun intended)

Priscilla · Jul 21 2013, 05:12 PM

I read some about this on both the BBC & CNN websites. I am glad you are ok! Also, not sure where Lily is in relation to this but I hope she and her family are also all right!

Kugai · Jul 21 2013, 06:18 PM

She lives in Lower Hutt like I do, though further down the Valley. Hope she's OK as well.

***Anneli*** · Jul 21 2013, 06:25 PM

It's been a very hot week here, if not as hot as on Priscilla's monitor, but at last it's now cool enough for the dog to stop panting and for me to hopefully get some sleep...

Lily · Jul 21 2013, 07:10 PM

Fine here but like Kugai, all shook up. Few things flew off shelves, in fact, the worst one was a box full of DVD's that fell around us and a bottle of something nasty and smelly that fell and broke in the garage.

Was a bit worried about being disturbed overnight, but am used to hubby moving around bed so it would have to be pretty severe to rouse me during the night

Priscilla · Jul 21 2013, 07:15 PM

Glad you are ok!

Kugai · Jul 21 2013, 09:06 PM

Ditto

mawra · Jul 22 2013, 11:44 AM

Glad all are ok.

I was right, with in a few seconds of Aries taking a head dive into his house I heard thunder. It was not a bad storm. No power or trees lost. Sat. night we lost power for several hours.

I think the cold front that the weather people said was going to cool things down is really going to cool things down.

***Hans*** · Jul 22 2013, 12:35 PM

Good to hear the Kiwis are OK!

I know what you mean Anneli! (About sleep, not the dog, poor critter. Imagine only being able to sweat through your tongue...)

There is suppose to be a cold front moving in, I'll believe it when I see it. __________________ MEDDLE NOT IN THE AFAIRS OF DRAGONS, FOR YOU ARE CRUNCHY & GOOD WITH CHOCOLATE SO MANY BOOKS SO LITTLE TIME DRIVING SMART KEEPS YOU ALIVE

I am a heat liver, so hotter would be no problem but most of my fellow countrymen disagree I finally have the feeling it is summer.

It seems to be one or the other lately. Since my goat just took a head dive into his house I have a feeling we are going to be getting a thunderstorm. __________________ MEDDLE NOT IN THE AFAIRS OF DRAGONS, FOR YOU ARE CRUNCHY & GOOD WITH CHOCOLATE SO MANY BOOKS SO LITTLE TIME DRIVING SMART KEEPS YOU ALIVE

Lily Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: Wellywood, New Zealand Gender: F	Re: What is happening Fine here but like Kugai, all shook up. Few things flew off shelves, in fact, the worst one was a box full of DVD's that fell around us and a bottle of something nasty and smelly that fell and broke in the garage. Was a bit worried about being disturbed overnight, but am used to hubby moving around bed so it would have to be pretty severe to rouse me during the night __________________ Coffee: Chocolate: Men: Some things are just better rich
