Now that is tech at its best!

It really is!! I've thought about getting that app even though I'm not in an abusive relationship, nor am I dating. You never know when you'll need rescuing. It was designed for battered women so that if their significant other got abusive, they could send an SOS to their friends that they needed help immediately and that their phones would record what was going on and police could find them if their abuser kidnapped them. But it's a great tool for anyone to have, really.

Oh, that sounds like a great job! I'd love to do something like that! What kind of a museum is it? Art? History? I imagine it would be a great way to learn...being a tour guide.

I would love to work in either, but mostly History, I love History. It says so much about human nature, successes and failures. Why does history, in it's subtle forms keep repeating itself?

I just saw a tip the other day...there's an app called ASPIRE and it's mostly to do with domestic violence, BUT, there's a feature for anyone who's dating. You can pre-program a message and if you tap the app 3 times, it sends out that message that you need help, and once you activate it, your phone starts recording everything going on in the room. It looks like just a normal app, so if the guy is a creeper, he won't notice what's going on...it doesn't blink or make noise or anything that would alert him to the fact that it's being recorded. It also activates tracking on your phone so police can find you.
Edited to add: I forgot to mention that if you have this app, and you are on a date and start to feel funny, like he maybe put something in your drink, activate it immediately. The drugs can work within 10-15 minutes, so if you start to feel weird, you need to act fast.

Thanks for the tip. I'm not dating right now, but it is good to know in case I decide to start dating.:)

Good morning. although not by me! It's below freezing the wind is howling. The temperature isn't going to rise today and there's a fresh coating of carp on the ground. The rain washed away every last trace of carp and now it's back!:mad::arghh::cold::coldfeet::brb::banghead: Tonight's dinner groundhog wellington with roast asparagus.:D

Sympathy like! My goodness you must have a lot of experience to have such an extensive groundhog recipe cache!

Ya'll are scaring me. I actually have nightmares about filthy bathrooms...like I have to go really bad and there's nowhere that's not disgusting. Maybe I'll avoid those 2 places so they don't give my jerk brain new fodder for sleepy time.

Not good at all. We went walking this morning and I almost got blown over. I'm staying in and getting all the laundry done! Much safer!

Can you do mine, too? My washer broke down yesterday. I was on the 3rd load of the day and it made a horrid clattering noise on spin cycle. The repairman was booked today, so I have to wait until Monday to get it fixed. Looks like I'll be making a trip to my in-laws'.

Sympathy like. If you're at all handy check and see if it's the belt, that's a DIY repair. good luck and pixie dust

Something has taken out a TON of people at work. It's great for me though as I get to pick up extra hours. I was called on Monday that I didn't need to come in because there was nothing to do and by Wednesday, they were begging me to come in and I got 13 hours for the week. But it sucks for the business because they are understaffed and it definitely isn't nice for the people who are sick!

Yep, I love History as well. One of the things I LOVE about living in Europe is real castles. Castles where real people lived, and had parties, and servants and all of that. We have toured several, but I have a ton more on my list. I can only imagine what it would be like to work on one and learn about the history of the place and the people.

Nope...not handy really. But we have a front loader (top loaders don't really exist here as they aren't practical for small spaces) and our dryer sits on top of it, in a closet. There's no way for me to get the dryer down and hubby is not a handy man. He might be if he had the desire to repair things, but he doesn't. I'm usually the one who ends up doing repairs because I get tired of waiting for him to do it. And I am not a handy gal myself.

Too bad you can't get it out. I have a front loader and love it. They're easier to work on than top loaders. Everything is easy to get to. Just like classic cars or so I've been told. I'm totally helpless or at least that's what I tell my dh.
