Blizzard outside, 6 kids, HELP!?




baby oh's


I am in my home in broomfield, CO. It's 10 degrees F outside and all our electricity and heating is out. The only power we have is from my battery powered laptop. My husband is on a business trip until sunday, so I am snowed in by four feet of snow and I have my six little kids with me!

All you can see is white outside and nothing in the house. OUr heating is out and so we are freezing our butts off.

I have no phone service.
Tell me what I can do I have a huge problem.

My kids are ages 6,4,4,3,2 and 13 days, yes I have a thirteen day old with me.

Two of my kids have the vomit bug and they are sick as dogs, plus I cant see to find any flashlights or candles.

Everybody is so scared and I have no phones, no close way to get help, and no possible way I am going to dig my way out of four feet of snow and get my 6 little kids, two barfing their guts out and one only 13 days old out in the freezing a*s*s cold weather to get into a car and drive to somwhere safe. Please help!!!
Gee, well I cant exactly email anybody right now as most my family has no email adn there is no neighborhood/city website to get an email adress!

I am trying to keep us as warm as possible, but I am almost out of warm winter clothes for my little sick children that make a mess every 10 minuets, and I can't get mad because it's not their fault they got the stomach flu in the middle of a blizzard!!

I just hope you will all pray for me, my kids, and all the other fammilies in my town!

Thanks so much!
Okay, we made it through the night!

But now three are sick and I cant even cook breakfast so they are all eating box cerial!

I feel so bad, but they are just happy as could be looking out the window at 5.5 feet of snow!

Poor things slept in the bathroom! My three taht are sick wanted me, so we move a mattress into our king size master bath room, two that were not sick slept in the bathtub with five down filled blankets! they were fine, they LOVED it!

On the other hand, my three sicklings are sleeping on the matress, and a put baby in his carrier by me. They are much better now, but still sick. I have them eating applesauce and so far, so good!

But thank you all for answering! Although we are not out of danger yet!!!

our front door is frozen shut!!

If you have any extra Ideas, please help!!!



Answer
(1) email friends (as many as you can), neighbors, colleagues, etc. Explain. Ask them to call the police, fire, red cross, disaster services, electric company, etc. to send help.

(2) repeat Step (1) with your electric supplier. Their email number is probably on your bill. If not, google it.

(3) Repeat Step (1) with your local police, fire, red cross, other local emergency services.

(4) Have all your children put on winter coats, two pair of socks, and a hat. Keep your littlest one huddled up to you, in a child carrier, underneath your jacket, as much as you can. Try to stay in one or two rooms for the most part, to conserve body heat. Hang an extra blanket from the windows to retain what little heat there is. Keep the door shut.

(5) If your neighbors have power, try emailing them for help. Google their addresses if possible. You would not want to go there and leave your children unattended, or take your kids through that much snow.

(6) pray. Others will see this and pray too.

Hope this helps!

Have you ever had your car broken into?




<3Juicy.Co


Or house?

My Moms business was broken into last night.



Answer
My car was broken into by a couple of kids once. My husband to be and I were one block away from our apartment at church....going through the pre-wedding meetings with the pastor. I left my bosy (ages 10 and 8) at home with the neighbor upstairs checking on them. They were a little nervous so they kept looking out the window....the last time, they saw my dome light on and someone rummaging around in there. They ran upstairs to get the neighbor and by the time the police got there, the heathens were gone. All they took was a bunch of change in the cup holder. Luckily.

My house...I can't prove it, but I think someone was staying in the apartment I shared with my ex-husband during the day when we were at work and the kids were at school. We'd come home to find cigarette butts in the toilet (neither of us smoked and my kids were young...5 and 7. Pop would be missing, crumbs would be on the counter, the shower wall would be wet....and our electric bill went up quite a bit. It was a double..one of those apartments where the garages are in the middle and the apts. are on either side. Our neighbors swore they never saw or heard anything but I knew something was up because I came home once to an unlocked door and the fridge door was wide open. It was enough to convince us to move.


My son had his car broken into. They stole the face plate to his CD player (rendering it useless) and broke the locks on the drivers door and the trunk. My hubby also had his tires slashed....about 20 reports came in that night about tires being slashed.

Beginning Building RC Car/Trucks?




AndrewAIID


I want to get into RC car/trucks I would like to know where to start? I want a simple build 1:10 scale truck to take off in dirt and what not. What do i need to build one? I don't want like a starter kit with all the parts, I would like to buy all the components separately and build. Could anyone give me a list of what parts I'd need for just a simple build that wont break my wallet. Also if anyone can give me their opinion on parts the favor most and/or what parts go together best. I'm new and never played with an rc car except walmart junkers would to tackle this head on piece by piece to make my own.


Answer
hey man, as an experienced rc hobbyist I dont recommend doing that.......Only reason is because you can not basically build one from the ground up...you have to buy kits or premade and modify/build them......

If you want to really enjoy it and get a assload of experience do this, buy a SMALL starter truck

I started out on a team losi mini lst2......drive that for about 6 months.....get the feel of rc cars, learn every manipulation, maneuver, and control about it. Learn how to take care of it and keep it properly maintained.

Then take it COMPLETELY apart... (except electronics like the esc and steering servo's) and rebuild it.....you will feel so confident and accomplished about it....

after 6 months at LEAST.....then buy a redcat racing volcano epx pro.....it is a basic 1/10th scale brushless truck (you can start out with this one too) if starting out do the same thing, but with this truck.......if you already started out with the lst2...then spend about 2-3weeks learning the new truck all over again ( until you are confident that you can drive that truck better than anyone else)...then take it to a local race, or find some friends locally that you can race for a small entry fee....

You will beat everyone almost guarenteed if you folllow what I say and you will earn money for better cars.......the first time I raced my truck ( I was 14) I expected to get my ass spanked and sent home......I left with 1st place trophy, 200$ check, 20$ in rc store credit and a lifetime membership card to their store ( usually 5.99 a month)........all the racers there were either grown men that did not have time to practice...or little kids that ride on their daddies fat wallet and expect their 9000mph car to kill everyone else.

After you get bored with these two trucks, then deeply think if you are ready to commit to a REAL hobby in rc racing, pursue working in a local hobby store and purchasing a really nice rc car to upgrade/race with.

Basically this is what I did....And I was VERY happy and successful in this hobby, I almost went in the state races and maybe nationals....but I realized that You will spend more money than you will make with these little guys...


Also, here is a video I made when I was 12!!!!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ht-XBwHHkds

it's really bad, but considering everyone else my age could only drive in modified straight lines I won alot of friendly races and competetition.

EDIT: also, to give u an idea how complex these little bastards are, just look at the volcano epx pro's user manual http://content.yudu.com/Library/A17zpn/RedcatRacingElectric/resources/index.htm?referrerUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.yudu.com%2Fitem%2Fdetails%2F57112%2FRedcat-Racing-Electric-Vehicle-Manual

What new technology was invented when you were a teen? PLease include your age?




Crisital


if you are between ages
20-29,
30-39,
50-59,
60-69,
70-79,
80and up

Please include how old you are and what technology was invented.your age should fall between those ranges. thank you!

(sorry not for people between 12-19...sorry!)



Answer
55. OK. First, especially back then, newly invented technology often took 10-15, sometimes 20 years, before the average person could get, or afford it.

But some of things that were just coming into use in the 60's. Color TV was huge. If you were the first family on the block to have a color TV, you were the most popular kid. Even though only a hand few of shows were broadcast in color.

Eight track tapes were new. But only because you could play them in the car. Otherwise, the old vinyl records were still the norm.

Few people had home air conditioners (window). They were just starting to become available. No schools had them.

Gas-motor powered lawn mowers were just coming out. Most people had the old manual, non motorized push mowers

Jet aircraft was new. The military had just achieved Mach 1 speed, breaking the sound barrier. As kids were got all excited when we heard the sonic booms. A big event.

We all had rotary phones. Push buttons had been invented, but were not generally offered or available until the 70's

Electric guitars came out in the 60's. The first time you saw Jimi Hendrix or Eric Clapton use one, and make it talk, it freaked you out.

Every kid had a transistor radio. Most were AM only, but some AM-FM. They were the Walkman or I-Pod of our time. Nobody listened to FM. Cars had only AM radios

Some people, but most schools had projectors, reel to reel tape. If you were lucky enough to see a computer, it was probably in a government building, and was the size of your kitchen refrigerator.

And if you went to a really large city, you could ride the escalator, and walk through an automatic door that opened for you.

There was probably more advanced technologies at the time. But only the very rich could afford them, and we never even saw them

What Should i Get a boy for his 6th Birthday?

Answer
Six years old is a really fun age to buy for because there are alot of really neat toys they can get into.

Personally I love going into one of four areas at that age: Magic, Science, Building or Games.

Magic:

This set is designed for ages 6 and up. It has 150 different tricks that are explained in easy picture based instructions. I love getting a kid at this age magic because I find a set like this helps kids learn to follow instructions... and most importantly: take the shyest kid in the world and get them doing some magic tricks and they will start performing. Its a great confidence builder!

http://www.thetoyspace.com/magic-kits/magic-tricks-illusion-150-trick-set.html

Science.

I love optic/discovery toys for this age. This set for example has a telescope, periscope and something called a super optic wonder plus (which includes binoculars, a compass, whistle, light, morse code...etc). What I like about this set is that it is great for exploring (star gazing etc.), learning about how optics work and it is also great for imaginative play (like pretending to be spies, or pretending to be an adventurer)!

http://www.thetoyspace.com/science-optic-toys/explorer-kit-telescope-periscope.html

Another neat science idea, is to look into Sciencewiz Kits. These kits are multiple award winning science kits that are done ina really wonderful highly illustrative age appropriate way. The Electricity kit for example has a 40 page illustrated book on electricity and has all the materials for 18 different activities (for example creating a electric circuit that lights a light bulb from a battery and so on). The Electricity, Chemistry, and Magnetism kits are all recommended for ages 5-10.

http://www.thetoyspace.com/science-kit/sciencewiz-electricity-science-kit.html

Building toys:

Alot of people are saying Lego and I totally agree Lego is a great gift for a 6 year old, but just to point out another building option is Meccano (also known as Erector Sets). Meccano sets are great for 6 years old and it is a different kind of construction than lego because it is screwdriver construction which is great for fine motor skill development! Also Meccano sets often include a motor so that you can add movement to your creation.

For example this Meccano set has materials to build 10 different models with instructions (though add imagination and the number of models are infinite) and it has a motor so that all the models can move:

http://www.meccano.com/models/motorized-box.html/

Games:

A wonderful way to build up social skills, problem solving skills, and logic... plus fun for everyone!

Rush Hour Jr. is a great puzzle game that can be played alone or cooperatively in a team. The challenge is grid lock in this game. The cars are set up on the grid according to the challenge cards and the child needs to manoeuvre the cars in order to drive the ice cream truck out of the one opening in the grid.

http://www.thetoyspace.com/games-and-boardgames/rush-hour-junior-solitary-game.html

Kelbazar is like pictionary but using wooden objects/shapes. Children need to use the included wooden pieces to represent the pictures on the card while their teammate guesses what object is on the card. Really fun and really challenging. This is a great way to develop creativity and imagination.

http://www.thetoyspace.com/games-and-boardgames/djeco-kelbezar-game.html
(Another great spin on this style game is Lego's Creationary)

Wait one last idea! What about a watch? Great age for kids to have a wrist watch and lego makes an awesome one that combines building too!

Here's an example:

Anyway I hope some of these ideas work for you!
