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.

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.

Lunatic.
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.
