Avoidable deaths of children...
Heat kills by taxing the human body beyond its abilities. In a normal year, about 175 Americans succumb to the demands of summer heat. Among the large continental family of natural hazards, only the cold of winter -- not lightning, hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, or earthquakes -- takes a greater toll.
In the disastrous heat wave of 1980, more than 1,250 people died, and those are the direct causalities. No one can know how many more deaths are advanced by heat wave weather -- how many diseased or aging hearts surrender, that under better conditions would have continued functioning.
Additionally, there is a great deal of truth in the expression: ``It's not the heat, it's the humidity.'' Not only is high humidity uncomfortable, it is also unhealthy. Heat-related illness occurs when a person's body can't properly cool itself by perspiring. Under extremely hot or humid conditions, sweating can't compensate enough to stave off a rapid rise in body temperature. The body's inability to cool itself is exacerbated when the humidity is high. Most susceptible are children and the aging, those who work out in the weather, and even well-trained athletes. Ultimately, very high body temperatures may damage the brain or other vital organs.
Heat stroke can be prevented.

What really boggles my mind is the avoidable death of heat stroke in children who were left or trapped in an automobile in extreme heat, which can result in death within minutes. This year it has been really bad here for humid hot weather. Extreme heat outside results in quickly rising temps in an enclosed vehicle, just open your car door after leaving having had it locked up for awhile. A number of studies have shown that the temperature in an enclosed car or truck can be more than 30 degrees above the outside temperature after less than 20 minutes, and more than 40 degrees within a half-hour. Leaving a window open just a crack makes no difference in the inside temperature of a vehicle. People should keep this in mind when considering leaving a child or pet in a car for even a minute or two. Not to mention, its unlawful to even leave a child in a car unattended.
To date, 10 children in surrounding states have died from heat stroke, due to neglect by their caretakers to remove them from a vehicle. Tragedies also arise when children play or sneak in unlocked vehicles to perhaps play hide and seek or for some other reason, as was the tragedy involving Ava. Check out this website for tips on avoiding heat stroke or death of children, Heat Safety for Children.
Seriously, though, take responsibility for your children! What kind of person drives off to go work, puts their kid in the car to drop off at daycare, and then forgets to drop off the kid at daycare and leaves them in a car for 8 hours? Or take the latest incident of church-goers who had a foster child still in car seat that nobody seemed to take out of the car because they thought somebody else had done so in the family? What happens legally to these people? What is just punishment for stupidity in not realizing that heat kills...or do they claim short-term memory problems...I forgot or I failed to notice my child was in the carseat, and now my child is dead...what a harsh reality that would be.
Senseless tragedies.

motivation...
Yep! I gotta get back to walking or doing something to take back off these extra few I got!
Ahhhh, its Friday...
and the house is all quiet.
You could hear a pin drop around here!
I am lovin' it. Its just me and my HP, my I-tunes, headset, a glass of wine, and chilling...surfing...checking out FB, just loafing on the web. It don't take much to make me happy.
This week on the management front has had its moments of crazy, but its over, TGIF!
..a welcome reprieve from work madness today was when I took a lunch break to see Isabella perform at the YMCA Day Kamp, as they were having a talent show and of course she was on the stage 4 times or something, singing, dancing, and boy! she sure had a blast! (far left is Isabella).
..."I whip my hair back and forths" and she sure did! She was quite the performer today, struttin' her skills, had her posse, and everybody was chanting, "Bella, Bella!"...LOL...I have to admit she was awesome, as usual, but then again I'm impartial you know! She took the I Phone to the Y with her today, I was hoping she wouldn't break or tear it up, but it came home intact! One of the songs she sang and danced or acted to was Call Me Maybe.. so of course their prop was a phone you know...
All the kids had a gr8 time and so did the workers there. They are like family. I wouldn't miss it for nothing! Of course every year they do their YMCA song dance, it was hilarious. I got it videoed somewhere, I'll try to upload it.
but for now, its nice to have a little quiet time off... and hey...I had to go look and see who was singing in my headset, it was Dinah Washington...a good one! and next up...Linda Ronstadt...what a gr8 collection I had stashed on my I-Tunes, who knew?. Of course with this new "beats' audio on this computer it makes the music sound awesome!

How Did I Get Here?
Isn't it strange how you can be surfing, and end up watching some strange videos on You Tube? I think I was in facebook, clicked somewhere, and was watching this video from somebody's page, based on the parody, I'm Sexy and I Know It," this was entitled "I'm Farming and I Grow It"... funny.
From here I watched a video of 2 elephants reunited, a lioness who adopted an elk baby, and somehow landed on this video...
But this video? disturbing, and the title is a little misleading as the Mom does nothing to the kid. The video should be watch out for that cat! or watchdog kitty, or don't touch my baby! You have to see this...but not having any audio from the mother or the baby kinda sucks, however there is creepy background music.
Oh, and there is this channel on You Tube, entitled Daddy Knows Best with some laughable videos...check it out! Have an awesome Sunday!

beautiful liar...
I knew I should have changed that 4 digit bank pin...I meant to.
My youngest daughter has been stopping by a lot lately, needing advice, wanting to talk about things going on in her life and a move she is considering. Today, however, she had another motive in mind it seems. She had offered to buy me some lunch, not eating herself, but it seems she wanted me to think she was actually doing something nice for me, when in fact she was sneaking my bank card back into my billfold which was on my computer desk.
She alerted my suspicions due to a comment she made about finding money in her car that she thought she had lost, when she had told me earlier she had no money. I came to the desk, retrieved my billfold and realized that my card was not in its rightful place. So I ask her point blank, did you take money out of my account? If you did, please tell me. She looked me straight in the eye and denied she had done so. She left in a short while, as she had succeeded she thought in pulling off this thievery. Such a beautiful mask she portrays.
When I realized that funds had been removed, (not substantial like the last time) I got into my car and drove straight to her Dad's house where I knew she was. I had already texted her by phone, telling her I knew she had taken it, had the proof, but no answer on the phone to my pleas as to why she would do it, and then lie bold faced to me. When I pulled up her Dad was talking to a neighbor in the yard, and I asked him to have her come out. When she came out of her Dad's house, I showed her the bank evidence, and she said yeah she took it but offered me no explanation, no remorse, just an aloof response as if I had no right to ask her why she would do just a thing. I told her if she did not want me to give her Dad information about some plot she was scheming without telling him, then she had better take her butt back in that house and give me back that money. She complied. I looked at her, tears welling up, and told her that I loved her, and that I did not understand why she would do such a thing, again. She just said, you wouldn't understand. I drove home and cried about it, said a prayer for her.
What I do understand is that clearly she is need of some help to sort out these behaviors, along with other things she struggles with. Its plain to me, and has been for some time, that she has a personality disorder of some type, for which she cannot recognize, her Dad refuses to see, and she has never sought help. God knows how much I have worried about her, tried to help her, but I don't know what is going to become of her at 20. She is getting ready to move thousands of miles away to move in with her boyfriend. Perhaps if or when she feels secure these behaviors will stop, I don't know. If she doesn't get help, I am afraid its just a matter of time before she gets into some serious trouble.

See the horns on his head? I swear is there no place where one could be safe? When you are sitting in a movie theater, the last thing you think about is the place not being safe. After all, its just a movie theater, right? Who would believe that a guy dressed in full combat gear, who was enrolled was in a PhD program in neuroscience just a month earlier, would invade the theater, throw smoke bombs and start firing off rounds randomly killing 14 people and injuring 59. What a horrible tragedy in Aurora, Colorado. My heart goes out to the victims, and their families coping with this tragedy. Even though this guy is in custody he is not cooperating and has lawyered up. I say take him out and shoot his ass, don't give him 3 hots and a cot and make taxpayers pay for his keep after what he did. Did nobody see this guy was disturbed? His family? While his family supposedly are shocked at this tragedy, surely they have some inkling their little boy wasn't right. Nobody would even plan or contemplate such an act if they were sane. Being insane and extremely intelligent with access to guns and ammo is a deadly combination unfortunately. Would one call him an insance genuis to pull off such a stunt as to booby-trap his apartment so police could not enter? It appears he called himself the Joker and died his hair orange, too. Is he going to wake up from his 'psychosis' and realize what he did? or is he amusing his crazy ass as he sits watching the aftermath living out some evil villian fantasy. Insanity at its best right here, folks. Open Mouth, Insert Scream!
She wanted to go to "Wendy's" so I proceeded to the drive-thru and she said she wanted "two Jr. burgers with no pickles, no onions," so when we get home, she just explodes because there is mayo, tomato, and god forbid lettuce on her 2 burgers!!!
She went into a tailspin, ranting and raving like a maniac! screaming that they messed up her order or it was my fault, but I calmly tried to tell her she did not specify exactly what she wanted on them other than no pickles or onions, so they put the standard stuff on them. I told her if she had wanted something specific on them, she should have said so while we were there. I proceeded to leave the room at that point.
Have you ever...
...lost a day and couldn't figure out where it went to? LOL...I swear I must have dementia! I have been dragging my butt around for a couple of weeks lately, but that ain't nothing new...
Anyhoo, I logged into work, opened my usual programs, and somebody had put something up about the week being half over on their Instant Messenger status update, and I thought how stupid, its only Tuesday, what the crap? ....
As far as the adventure goes, we (my immediate boss and I) are newly in charge of some acute care accounts, and I have no idea what these people's schedules are, what accounts they can work on, whats on poolscripts, what is not, and ask me if care! its just mind-boggling!...Finally I got a listing of all the information I needed, so watch out! Some of these people need to expand their horizons and learn some of these other acute care accounts instead of staying on those they have been on forever! surprise, surprise! You have now been poolscripted with Texas, and Texas is a big account, but isn't everything in Texas bigger yall?! This account is complicated, 3 different branches, so its a whopper!
Yes, in my FQA hood, all my people do Texas!
And how was your Wednesday?

Hi ya'll.
I picked up my new HP Pavillion PC today at Office Max, and I am enjoying the beats audio experience too when listening to music, its just awesome, one of the best options on this PC. I opted for a desktop instead of a laptop, because with BellaRose in the house it just makes better sense. She would inevitably drop the laptop resulting in serious damage control, maybe I'll splurge for a laptop when she's a little older. She dropped my I-Phone Friday and broke the back on it, however I got it fixed on Saturday by a guy for 30 bucks, and its looking brand new once again!
all is well.
and how are things in your neck of the woods?
and now for Sunday giggle...
this is the You've Got Jail Mail Edition...
A prisoner in jail receives a letter from his wife: "Dear Husband, I have decided to plant some lettuce in the back garden. When is the best time to plant them?"
The prisoner, knowing that the prison guards read all mail, replied in a letter: "Dear Wife, whatever you do, do not touch the back garden. That is where I hid all the money."
A week or so later, he received another letter from his wife: "Dear Husband, You wouldn't believe what happened, some men came with shovels to the house, and dug up all the back garden."
The prisoner wrote another letter back: "Dear wife, now is the best time to plant the lettuce."

Hmmmm...what a day or two!
I have decided on this next HP Pavilion desktop computer I want the beats audio, and listening to music will be frickin' awesome...so its off to Office Max tomorrow to get this 8GB HP Pavilion which goes on sale for 449 bucks, sweet! 90 bucks off, can't beat that, and I can't wait!
In something totally unrelated, the other day I was driving to pick Bella up from the Y and I saw this bumper sticker that read, "morally flexible." I got a good laugh out of it, and then I thought hmmm....and a while ago running errands to include a repair of my I-phone because Bella broke its back, I saw this girl holding up a cardboard sign that says, "homeless, ..." and I couldn't help but think about that parody they made out of the song, I'm sexy and I know it. "I'm sexy and I'm homeless"... oh my, and she is probably morally flexible too!
Anyway, have a great Saturday. Tomorrow is boot 'em up day!
double chocolate muffin...
When reading the label, it seems that a serving size is only one-third of this muffin. One-third? ... I don't know how many people would buy this and actually half it up into thirds to save it for 3 mornings in a row? I'm guessing nobody...
What I want to know is, who out there in Blogdom would divide up such a delectable indulgence because they were concerned with serving size versus caloric intake. Some might not buy it, but that's a personal choice. I can tell you right now, that didn't happen as far as I'm concerned...LOL...
Serving size: 1/3 muffin. Calories per serving size: 220.
So if you eat the whole thing, that's pretty much 700 calories busted, but damn worth it! Yes, I do so love to indulge myself in chocolate on occasion! ha!
Pete & Repete

newsflash...
If you suddenly find on Monday that your computer can't access the Internet, you might be able to blame a gang of alleged cyberthieves from Estonia (where is this place?) and the FBI.
In November, the FBI was part of an international effort to bust a ring that was charged with infecting millions of Windows-based personal computers with spyware that redirected requests for common Web pages to rogue sites. When officials took action, they also seized the servers that were handling those redirects.
Since then, the FBI has been running the seized systems as benign Domain Name System (DNS) servers, which translate the numeric designations for Internet sites into recognizable Web addresses. But on Monday, the FBI will turn them off, and the hundreds of thousands of computers that remain infected with the DNS Changer malware won't be able to access the Internet.
Since then, the numbers of infected PCs have fallen to about 300,000, thanks largely to a massive education campaign and alerts posted by sites such as Facebook and Google. At Google, for example, people who do searches with infected machines have been shown a warning along with their results if their PCs have the malware.
One of the guys I work with sent this to me in a link, its an article published in chron.com.July 5th. I think he was hoping he wouldn't have to work on Monday LOL. You can check to see if your PC is infected by going to www.dns-ok.us. If your PC has the DNSChanger malware, you'll be provided links to resources to remove it at article site. Well, my coworker's computer was clean and so was mine! Is yours?
it is Friday yet?
Well, I used to live for Friday nights and the weekend, meeting up and going out with friends or just planning some activity. Friends have dwindled, lost interest in going out, and some have moved.
Now I am spending way too much time doing nothing and pretty much staying at home.
There are tons of stuff I need to do at home, but by the end of my workweek, I have no energy to dedicate any time on such. Most of which would involve hard work just as knocking out walls and replacing sheetrock due to these plaster wave-at-you-walls, or cleaning carpets? Do I have to? I'm lucky to get a load of laundry or dishes caught up.
Am I the only one who feels this way? I think a good handyman with fringe benefits might perk me up!
God I need to dig up a social life of some kind. Maybe I should join a bowling league or something! All work and no play is making me a dull lifeless girl.
