How do we find the balance
'Rose' managed to call the emergency number three times in a row
telling them that her brother was locked up in a closet (not true)
We know she knows the number
We thought she would beable to handle the responsibility
Staying at my parents she managed to call
'We did not let them out of sight for more then a minute'
Yes, well, that is within our experience, they manage to do the most weird things if you turn the other side.

I had to exchange the hinges of the refridgerator, the door is not made to be used as a swing.

How do you manage to keep on the balance?
As is down here, the internet is more and more a pool for commercial enterprises selecting the public they want. You hardly get a chance to give your opinion about the potential value of a product. They decide you are interested in their product. And there it goes off balance before you get to know if a product is anywhere near something you might concider being interested, they try to pick you down as potential buyer.
Requiring your email address just to see what they have in store.

I don't liek shopping online. Because, mostly of thost same reasons...

"Well, I have managed to keep the spam below two mails per quik and I hope to beable to keep it low."

I haven't gotten spam in several months... though, I haven't actualyl given my email addresss to anybody either, cuz I don't realyl use it much... but, anyways.

I use the reverse-psychology reasoning. I give my email [email protected] to almost anyone who asks: in fact I band it arround [email protected] with reckless abandon, in the hope I might [email protected] recieve some spam, but I still haven't. It's strange.

"Strange indeed, I know several email adresses rendered useless due to impressive amounts of spam (including virus contaminations) just after being published only once."

I hardly get any spam... used to get a ton though. and my email address is on the web inabout 5 different places.
