plenty of time for the "serious stuff" later.

Cheers!

Agree with you regarding supervision, A good parent cares.
However statistics have shown an actual reduction in violent and sexual crime over the last half century and reporting of crime to police is up.
There is also a parallel trend of a greater journalistic reporting across multiple media of committed crimes.
My suggestion is its safer today but we feel less safe due to the proliferation of the news. The true terrorists today are our media...

and GEEZ I hate that more than not being able to lick my elbow

So its ok for paedos to gawp at children at the beach as long as their parents are nearby?
It's not just the problem that the seedy paedos get their jollies at halloween having kids delivered to their door.

Firstly, you have you almost immediate problem that the following day those same paedos jump in the cars and start trolling the neighbour. He's nolonger the creepy stranger mummy told you to avoid, he's the nice man with lollies whose house mummy took you to. So when he says "hey I have bags of lollies left over from halloween if you come back to my house I will give you some to take home," obviously the kid thinks that's ok.

Worse still, that one incident of actual doing, ie it's ok to go to strangers houses for lollies, erases 100 hypothetical lessons about stranger danger.

Notwithstanding that the thought of stupid parents walking their kids to a paedo's door so he can drool over them and have a masturbatory fantasy as soon as he close the door, make me absolutely sick to my stomach.
It's not what happens when parents are watching that is the problem. It's what happens in those momenst when their back is turned, or the kids are largely unsupervised.

Paedos are filth. I say without exaggeration that capital punishment is too good for them. Unfortunately, as often the case, a minuscule majority ruins what should be an innocent bit of fun.

Smurf,
You obviously adore your grandkids,
so just imagine what a paedo could do to those you love in just a few seconds.
Believe me, it doesn't just scar you for life, it destroys your life. Everything you expereince from that point on is filtered through those scars and you finish up twisted, bitter, and full of anger.

[poppa smurf]

mate, obviously something has happened in your life to give you such a twisted outlook toward people.

if I could give you some advice it would be to seek help......

dont play it out in a public forum....does no-one any good.

I'd have to agree with Poppa here.

In fact I'd say it was a CRAZY post .

[Juan Loco]

NOT related to anything in this thread;
But I hate it when people that too stupid to understand something are also too pig-ignorant to consider that they may be wrong and so keep repeating their same stupid arguments over and over again.

I wonder if these people would ask to be kept awake during brain surgery so they can argue with their neurosurgeon and tell him he's doing it wrong.

I don't really understand Einstein's General Theory of Relativity, but that doesn't mean that I go round telling physicists that they're wrong.

I also hate it when these same people can't distinguish between arguments based on opinion and those based on fact. "Car A is 'better' than Car B" is an OPINION. "Car A is faster over 400m than Car B" is a question of FACT.

assembling quilting frame's......bought Mrs Smurf a king size quilter with a long arm machine, what a stupid idea!!.......there goes my weekend!

[GasoLane]

Poppa Smurf has too much time (and Money) on his hands

Have you bought Mrs Smurf an AccuQuilt yet ?

[Tonz]

Ahh yes but its one weekend to asseble it, then...WAAHOOOO all weekends free she will be so busy and all the rellies want one too.

[my_gxl]

Cutting off the tip of ones left index finger...the weekend before a planned engine removal.
Then the fact that its a tight engine bay, and left handed. Already opened it up once and I was nowhere near a car.

[Morexbs]

At least the shorter finger will work better in the tight engine bay!

On the bright side poppa - your Mrs can sew, I'm 48 and none of the girls I know my age can sew, knit or for heavens sake cook. I take my trousers to my 60yo sister to get taken up. I have managed in my bachelor years to sew a button, iron and cook - not expertly by any means!

Maybe I'm being a bit sexist but us blokes are expected to know how to fix cars, mowers, broken cupboard hinges and plumbing.

Hang on to Mrs Smurf - sounds like a good catch to me.

Cheers!

Um, just because she's handy with a needle it doesn't mean she will put it to good use for us blokes.

The Dragon Lady here is also into Quilting and has all the associated expensive sewing stuff that goes with it.

But it took me 2 months to get her to repair a pocket on one of my work shirts!!

[poppa smurf]

I just go and buy new trousers or shirts, if it needs repairing it goes on the "to do one day pile"......never gets done........mount patchmore is growing weekly.

as for hanging on to her, she won't let me go, too frightened I might start enjoying myself and she would miss out.......cant have that now can we.

Nanna Smurf is into, sewing, embroidery, quilting and any other large ticket item that is out there that could possibly need a home and money spent on it.

never mind we have an addition to the Smurf family, another grandchild, our 4th.

a little girl, Jordan Alicia ( think that's how you spell it?)......6 lb 2oz.......everybody well......absolutely adorable of course...so 3 granddaughters and a grandson......go on ask me how chuffed I am.........I dare ya!.

I used to get annoyed about the halloween stuff and told everyone to GTFO in the years past, last year I bought a horse mask and was scaring the crap out of everyone when they came up and then giving them lollies, why not.

Pic of mask, lol.



This year unfortunately I wasn't home for halloween, but I'm planning on doing it again next year.

Plus it gives me an excuse to buy massive amounts of lollies and the left overs I get to eat

Plenty of young families in my estate and its a good opportunity for everyone to have a bit of fun for once.

I even saw kids playing cricket on the street when I came home on Friday arvo

I had a far more cunning plan this year! My good wife had bought many goodies for the begging urchins but me and my son padlocked the front gate while my wife's attention was elsewhere. Unfortunately our skilful scheme was revealed when my wife looked out the front door and sternly 'advised' me to reopen the gate...

When a customer calls on Sunday. Morning, noon or night. And always for something that could've waited to Monday morning.

Granted, this is my best customer, but this person is old enough to know better to call on a Sunday. In my mind, Sunday is a off limits day for a tradesman.

Thats why I prefer using email with everyone, because they can just reply when they see it/at work to respond to it.

Nothing I need is usually urgent.

I get sick of working in the trade industry and never getting paid on time!!! That or arguing with other trades about having to repair their damage!!

Oh I HATE THAT.

Mmm..............sorta reminds me of being an owner truck driver............ often akin to banging ones head against the wall while being cavity searched with a pineapple........... can any one say mugs game ???

Hate of the week this week.......... bloody sneaky malware crap that hijacks your browser and refuses to be killed off. Right now I've got one called Mystartsearch that has taken over my Opera Browser and even though I've dumped all the cache, all the history, gone in and rooted out all the cookies I can find, run multiple anti malware programs over it and done everything I can think to do, the bloody thing still over rides my home page and opens a tab front and centre on starting Opera up. Registry cleaners don't see it so if it's in there I don't know how to dig it out and after doing a search I can find instructions to get it out of IE, Chrome and Firefox but not Opera, so short of un-installing Opera to get rid of it and start again, I'm at a loss right now. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!

Can you just change what the homepage is? Or does it override that change too?
