St. Joseph statue sounds good, too. 

The Nuns would have quite a throwing arm, as well 

We never had any criminals from our class.  Sometimes, I wonder if a little fear,
instilled in children is a good thing, no beating up, just a little fear.

You would think anyone would be arrested with messing around with a false report.

My neighbors history is in the records. Your neighbor's history is in the records, too.


A baby monitor may be useful.  I remember on the news, a woman heard a intruder from a baby monitor.  When I see one on a tag sale, I think I will spring for one, myself. 

I guess you could put a Baby monitor outside?  If you want to know what is going on.
You seem to be pretty set with your security system.

Do you have a blessed candle in your house?

I say a three minute prayer with  a quick candle lighting, and it  gives such peace of mind.
I will keep you and your neighbor in mind, when I light the candle

I have stopped getting angry about my neighbor because it was showing on my face.
She is Beastly , and I was begin looking Beastly  So I went with the prayer and candle thing.

I think I know a few of those nuns you mentioned.    I went to your regular run of the mill public school but in the 70's you were still afraid of getting paddled by your teacher or going to the principal's office. It's wild because by the time I was in highschool in the 80's, no fear of any teacher/principal/superintendent. What a change just in that time span. By the time my kids started kindergarten, it was shocking how kids behaved and now... you just wonder how much worse it's going to get. We homeschooled our kids... and it worked out good....where my kids would get sent to the daddy/principal's office. They didn't turn out perfect but they respect others and keep their noses clean.

The last time an officer came out he said we should call the local drug unit and tell them what we've been seeing. We left a message at the number he gave us over a week ago and got a call to come in and talk with someone. So wednesday we talked with a detective. Nice guy too. He listened to everything we told him, wrote down names, and seemed really interested in one name in particular for some reason. He told us if they give us any further trouble to call police. We told him we've already called so many times and that we've been referred to magistrate court about the problem. He just shook his head and said, "Call the police on them again if they do anything else. That's what we're here for." He said if an officer complains to us about it, (like one of them did), he said to call their supervisor about it. I'm going to wait and see what legal aid says though, just to be on the safe side. It was a good meeting with the detective. He asked a lot of questions and listened to everything we shared with him. We asked just out of curiosity what will they do and he of course wouldn't go into it much but said it can be anything from stopping on the street to check for license/insurance to knocking on the door and asking if they're selling. He made a face while he said that so... we didn't pry any further. A face like "I can't really share that much with you, you know?"

The street patrols we had requested stopped a week ago but yesterday we saw a patrol car going by slowly. We didn't request they extend it. They're on the drug unit radar.

I know a gal that simply got her facts wrong about a situation and got arrested for lying to police in our area several years ago. Too bad they don't take it seriously like that with your forked tongue neighbor.

I am wondering if a baby monitor may be able to pick up more sound though. I think I'll check out the next yard sale or thrift store I'm near and see if I can pick one up. Maybe they can pick up sound better than our cams. Thanks for the idea.

I have one candle from my husband's confirmation last year... does that count as a blessed candle?

I have an Infant of Prague and Saint Joseph statues on the way to our mailbox.

Thank you for praying, Seahorse. I appreciate that very much. Our priest situation is still on hold. One is on vacation until the end of next week and the other has his schedule full until then also. We picked a busy time to finally decide on that one. We should have requested the blessing as soon as the trouble started. It's been quiet around here for the past few days though and that's a miracle!

Sorry that you seem to have the neighbors from Hades.  I can't imagine how you must feel -- violated is the word that comes to mind.  I hope the new statues will help and will add you to my prayer list.   

NickandNora,

Did you find St. Joe and the Infant of Prague, in a catalog?  

The blessed candle from your husband's Confirmation will work.

I am going to look into Holy Water and put in the house



Consumers Reports may be a good source for baby monitors ratings. 

Love Nick and Nora movies, what chemistry they had together and elegant fashions.

I will say a Three minute Prayer for you.

Afternoon Monkeys   Want to share a helpful hint that actually works. Grand daughter went into a panic when she found a tick on her dog. I had received an email awhile back about how to remove them easily. Thought okay will give it a try. Soak a cotton ball with liquid dish soap and run the tick and area around the tick for about a minute. The tick will back out and will stick to the cotton ball. The tick backed out but didn't stick to the cotton ball. But I used tweezers to pull it out of the hair. I was amazed it really worked.

What an idiot.    This guy needed weeding out.  He brings shame to LE.  There are a lot of good, hard working men and women in law enforcement.  I'm glad this loser was caught.

Thanks for the tip.  With all of our furbabies, ticks can be a real problem.  They haven't been bad for the past two years, so I am waiting for a plague of them soon.

Olympic athletes and their pets
When they're not in the gym, on the field or in the pool, these U.S. Olympians can be found snuggling with some of their biggest fans.
July 30, 2012



Olympic athletes rely on the encouragement of their friends, family and fans. But many U.S. Olympians also have furry, four-legged friends who have offered them constant support as they worked toward the 2012 Games. Here's a look at eight U.S. Olympic athletes and the canine companions and feline fans that love them.

I am so sorry, I have not been around, my brother passed away on July 30th from a work-related accident that sent us all reeling.

Well done Usain Bolt.  He's got class and he has respect.  Definitely a winner. 

[alagary]

Yep , I'm sure from the way he acted that "The Fastest Man On The Planet" would have done the same for some sport I've never heard of from somewhere I can't even spell.
