Those are cool... I would be worried about the articulating head being a point of failure (he's still learning that things falling can make them break, and doesn't think ahead that way), and the reviews say it's on the loud side. Thanks for thinking of him, though, that's so kind!
For anyone curious, this is the one we've got: so far it's held up quite well. High mode gets about two hours of battery life, charging takes about four, so I've got three units and we rotate.

Noncomplaint: Today Little Dude locked me out of the house while I was briefly in the garage.
I'm filing this under good things because it means he realizes the door is meant to be locked, and also because I had a key to get back in, so that's a great time to discover it could happen. Also that it was me who got locked out and not Teen Kiddo.
I did have a good laugh over it, though. He's an elopement risk, so here I'm hyper-vigilant about making sure he doesn't get out... and I wind up with the opposite problem.
Always an adventure!

Non-Complaint: Two-factor authentication, it is a pain until it comes through for you. And it did for me on my back-up email account during the night. When I signed in, I found a slew of scams and crap where accounts were sending lures for me to click from the UK and other countries. The UK seemed to be more focused on bogus medical news. The other countries, my SSA account, taxes, and well I am sure you all can guess whatever else.
But, my point is, put up with the two-factor authentication. It does save you.
@SilverGirl, I learned that lesson with my last apartment where we had a third roommate. I had slipped out of our garage with the trash real quick and he had been out with his dog Bugsy for the morning walk/smoke. In 20 seconds I was out of sight, he closed the garage. It was still early morning dark, in the negative temps, snow and ice, and I was in my early morning comfy pants, tee, flannel and no apartment keys or cell phone. It took both roommates over 15 minutes before they realized I was missing and they opened the garage door. I never left the apartment after that without keys, even today. Of course, now that roommate left us, and Bugsy, and we live elsewhere, and a resident across from me gets too many visits from the cops for me to be comfortable. I take trash out, go check mail, I lock the door.
Complaint: Yesterday as I drove for dinner stuff I thought it would suck to get in a car accident on my birthday (74) and went into the store. Walking back to my van, I noticed something off on the right front wheel cover. A dent, scratch and realized that at some point, someone had pulled into a parking spot next to me and rammed that point of my van hard enought to dent it in.
Wow! My internet was out since the first of month or maybe Sunday? I thought this thread would turn around by this time.
I did get my internet back up last night. Dealing with a lot of BS. I have been called stubborn when I try to be honest. If I cannot do it, I cannot do it. Will power does not solve everything, not sure if it can solve anything. If will power was enough, I would not have weight issues right now.
Why do they call them manholes if women are the ones always falling into them?
Built by men desperate to catch a woman? Perhaps it's a filter to keep the larger ones out?
Non-complaint: Wanderlust satisfied for a while. Teeth all cleaned again.
Complaint: Dentist is still advising a root canal sometime "soon".
Non-complaint: After three weeks avoiding a major grocery adventure, I now have a full refrigerator again. Yay, fresh fruit, unfrozen meat, eggs, milk, real orange juice, cottage cheese, various cheeses, salad greens.
I can put away the cans for a while.
Complaint: With dentist cleaning bill and groceries, budget is a "C"-note" into the red again and I still have two weeks until "payday".
Don't tell me the economy's running just fine.
Hope you had an otherwise wonderful birthday.
I'm so sorry about your van! What a sucky addition to a birthday. Hope it was otherwise (besides the spam issue) a good one!
And yeah, I don't go out of the house without keys. About a year after I moved in, I went out onto the balcony at one point and closed the door behind me... not knowing that the sliding glass door had a quirk that if you shut it too forcefully, it locked itself. So there's me standing on the balcony in my pajamas with the cats looking at me through the door all confused and concerned. I wound up climbing over the rail and making a jump for the ground, then knocking on the door of the elderly fellow who shared my driveway and asking if I could use his phone to call my parents to bring the extra key over (my then-husband was at a business trip out of state). I was laughing to my parents like "well thank goodness I had pants on" and my neighbor was all "eh, I would've handed you a bathrobe."
Probably wouldn't have even blinked. That guy was pure awesome. One of those folks who, even though they lived a long, full life, was still gone far too soon.
But yeah, after that I got a keypad entry for the garage and hid a spare key amongst all the garage stuff in a spot that's awkward as heck to get to, but at least it's there if it's needed.
I needed that laugh! Just posted my issue with metadata not loaded on ten new purchases after downloaded by DIM. Since my flatmate and I are not intimate friends (boy did I have to keep repeating that to the staff at the hospital) I am generally dressed enough so I won't embarrass him or me.
I'm not the lacy lingerie type in general (unlike many people, I do actually like pants) so it wasn't really a possibility, it was just funny to think about. Meanwhile the neighbor's all "Hey, going to be a bit until they get here, would you like some tea?"
It wasn't winter, thankfully, and at worst I would've had to walk down the street to the little neighborhood strip mall and ask the folks at the tiny liquor store there to use their phone. As far as awkward and inconvenient situations go, it was definitely a best-case scenario. Even at the time I was laughing at the absurdity of it... glad it could bring you a chuckle, too. :)
You are very lucky. Nice neighbor and area.
That apartment building we lived in had a low income apartment complex next to us with three gangs who had set up shop. They would have shootouts sometimes. But across the street was a small strip mall and some of the stores had some rather unsavory customers. Our balcony looked out onto it. We were standing on it one afternoon when someone just drove right over a curb and busted out the picture window and glass door of the pizza place. Just missed hitting a guy. We were warned never to use our cards there, only cash, they had a skimmer. And that was an expensive apartment complex! Our current place may not be as pretty, but it has a better overall safety level I appreciate. Though you still have to be cautious.
Just installed DS 6 but now it is bed time.
Gute Nacht!
I have a friend at our workplace who liked to give people small presents. And she gave me a small rechargeable fan that was powered by a USB port. The fan is nice. But the part that drove me crazy was the charging system. It has a type C USB port, and came with a cable that was type C on one end, and the old style Type A on the other end.
Since it has a type C port, I took a cable that was type C on both ends and plugged the fan into a type C power source. Nothing happened.
After much frustration, I learned that even though this fan has a type C port built into it, it can only be charged by a type A power source. So you have to use a cable that is type A on one end and type C on the other.
Yeah, that's what this is... but the USB ports on the plug-in power strips I have are overwhelingly USB-A, so it works out well for me.
Yeah. I picked this place with an eye for safety, especially with future kids in mind. Not all the neighbors are great, and our HOA is downright evil. And the recreation area across the street (baseball diamond, playground, basketball and tennis courts) has enough people coming and going by car that I don't feel safe for Teen Kiddo to hang out in the yard alone (too much risk of trafficking, IMHO, especially considering their age and build) (but I will also admit that a couple high profile local kidnappings when I was young makes me extra cautious). And we have to worry about frozen folk in the area, as they like to stay at a local hotel.
But in general, it's the sort of neighborhood where if you don't realize you got a package delivered and it's out overnight, the worst it gets is wet.
It's an older part of town, and not at all fancy, but mostly it's quiet. And the trees are really beautiful. :)
I knew a lady living in Florida who moved into a new (to her) house who was told by her HOA that she couldn't hang washing out in her back yard, couldn't do this, or that or the other. She had been a captain in the US Army invalided out due to IED injuries and she ended up getting the right hump with them because she just wanted a quiet life and to potter about happily in her own home. In the end she was so annoyed she tried to look up the HOA articles of association - she said in Florida they need to be registered. Only there weren't any. It wasn't a legally constituted or registered HOA and the two people in charge (the president & his wife, the secretary) had been collecting contributions from each & every house in the street for 18 years. Once this got out to her neighbours, they lawyered up and took the 'HOA' people to the cleaners - the 'HOA' people were far from popular due to their micromanagement of people's lives in the street.
I must admit when I heard the story, I looked on in utter disbelief, not able to understand how a HOA could exist at all, let alone think they had the right to tell me whether I could hang my washing out in my own garden when I owned the house or do anything remotely like that.
Regards,
Richard
Yeah, our current apartment complex has a fenced in dog park that Bugsy loved, garages that are available for an extra $95/month, and gated parking, a little exercise room, package room, USPS area behind a fence, the pool and hot tub/grilling area (near my apartment so I hear it). We are three stories with apartments clustered off breezeways in groups of four. It helps when folx are polite. Unfortunately I seem to get the upstair neighbors who are recent college grads and work in the bar industry. They still think they are in a Frat House. :-( It takes a few discussions with the office and then with them before they settle down. I also get to hear most fights, loud TV and music through my vents. But the fancy, overpriced apartment across from us, over 30 stories, is falling apart inside and their folx sneak in to use our dog park. They have a lot of fires in their garage equipment too. But across the street, is the Cherry Creek and the Walk and a park. I used to be able to walk two miles to the Cherry Creek Mall using the Walk which is a lovely green space. And my flatmate is able to walk to work. We also have a Rugby Team arena and gym just up the block from us. And shops we can walk to along with a bus stop in front if we need to hook into the Denver metro grid. I prefer to drive and pay for parking.
I worry everytime I see a missing child/teen/young person report on the news. When I was still in elementary school, my baby sister and I were walking to the store my mother worked at, when a car pulled up and a group of men called to my sister offering her candy to come to them. Think of a little blonde, fairy princess you see so often as DAZ child characters, that is what she looked like. She started to go to them, and I yanked hard, dragging her into the store yelling for help, that the men were trying to kidnap her. The manager ran out right away in time to see them speeding away. My sister was mad I kept her from the candy. She was about 5 or 6. She still gets mad at me. But she lived to stop traffic in San Francisco in the 1970s due to her looks. She could be a DAZ model as a child, teen, young adult, and now a older woman. She inherited all the great looks DNA in our mixed heritage.
And yeah, we were in the age of Free Range Kids. In Los Angeles. In 1950s/1960s.
