Hi,

Camera is very good security tool. Camera with PIR sensor can be a good combination to monitor. When any intruder is detected by PIR sensor, it should trigger or start video recording with Home security camera & give the alarm.

Hi there securityhunt!

Um, this was a poke at the absurd in my neighborhood. Everyone has security cameras, but while on a walk I came across a yard strewn with toilet paper.

I do agree that security cameras are very good to use, and thank you for the link. My husband couldn't live without them. They have, however, taken a lot of joy away from teenagers! :D

I never got to experience TP'in, Did I miss out on somethin?

TC--To throw a roll of toilet paper skyward and watch long white (do they still make pink and blue TP?) ribbons flowingly decorate the landscape as they fall in billowy streams...that is pure joy!

Side note: When toilet paper gets wet, it shrinks and molds into little unmanageable globs. It doesn't look so beautiful then. It's also hell to get off the trees. So the homeowner in me cringes at the thought of my yard getting TP'd, but the child in me remembers the fun of it!

We love playing with toilet paper so much that we used it at my 7-year-old's b-day party in a game called "Mummy," where the kids had to wrap eachother up and then break free.

So many off-label uses for TP, in addition to stuffing a bra and shoving a carefully-folded piece into the back of a shoe to prevent blisters. :-)

Thanks for dropping by to see me... I thought I'd return the favor. I really wish I'd thought of your name for my blog...then again you already had it... but it's good to read other Yankees see this place as a little crazy! (A little great too... but don't tell anyone I said that...I'll deny it!)

I do love my blog name, but it only came to me after being called "Yankee" a hundred times, so I guess that's not so good. But Southerners seem to use this term when they like you too. I agree wholeheartedly about the crazy! I like that we get thunderstorms in January though. I'll be back to visit you again, so keep writing!
