Subject: Re: RS: Who's who on the list anyway?-addition Here is the posting that Dee was talking about, in case you missed it. Although it involves a child, the situation could apply to any of us here...I don't want to be overly paranoid, but I think a modicum of common sense and caution should be applied to our on-line lives. ========== Shannon could hear the footsteps behind her as she walked toward home. The thought of being followed made her heart beat faster. "You're being silly," she told herself, "no one is following you." To be safe she began to walk faster, but the footsteps kept up with her pace. She was afraid to look back and she was glad she was almost home. Shannon said a quick prayer, "God please get me home safe." She saw the porch light burning and ran the rest of the way to her house. Once inside she leaned against the door for a moment, relieved to be in the safety of her home. She glanced out the window to see if anyone was there. The sidewalk was empty. After tossing her books on the sofa she decided to grab a snack and get online. There she could talk to strangers without being afraid. After all, no one knew who she really was and couldn't hurt her. She logged on under her screen name ByAngel213. Checking her Buddy List she saw GoTo123 was on. She sent him an instant message: ByAngel213: Hi I'm glad you are on! I thought someone was following me home today. It was really weird! GoTo123: LOL You watch too much TV. Why would someone be following you? Don't you live in a safe neighborhood? ByAngel213: Of course I do_ LOL_ I guess it was my imagination cause I didn't see anybody when I looked out. GoTo123: Unless you gave your name out on line_ You haven't done that have you? ByAngel213: Of course not. I'm not stupid you know. GoTo123: Did you have a softball game after school today? ByAngel213: Yes and we won!! GoTo123: That's great! Who did you play? ByAngel213: We played the Hornets_ LOL..their uniforms are so gross! They look like bees_ LOL GoThere123: What is your team called? ByAngel213: We are the Canton Cats. We have tiger paws on our uniforms. They are really kewl. GoTo123: Do you pitch or what? ByAngel213: No_ I play second base. I got to go.. My homework has to be done before my parents get home. I don't want them mad at me_Bye GoTo123: Catch you later.. Bye GoTo123 decided it was time to teach Angel a lesson. One she would never forget. He went to the member menu and began to search for her profile. When it came up he highlighted it and printed it out. He took out a pen and began to write down what he knew about Angel so far. Her name: Shannon Birthday: Jan.3, 1985 age:13 State where she lived: North Carolina Hobbies: softball, chorus, skating and going to the mall. Besides this information he knew she lived in Canton. She had just told him. He knew she stayed by herself until 6:30 every afternoon until her parents came home from work. He knew she played softball on Thursday afternoons on the school team and the team was named the Canton Cats. Her favorite number 7 was printed on her jersey. He knew she was in the seventh grade at the Canton Junior High School. She had told him all this in the conversations they had on line. He had enough information to find her now. "She'll be so surprised," he thought, "she doesn't even know what she has done." Shannon didn't tell her parents about the incident on the way home from the ball park that day. She didn't want them to make a scene and stop her from walking home from the softball games. Parents were always overacting and hers were the worst. It made her wish she was not an only child. Maybe if she had brothers and sisters her parents wouldn't be so overprotective. By Thursday Shannon had forgotten about the footsteps following her. Her game was in full swing when suddenly she felt someone staring at her. It was then that the memory came back. She glanced up from her second base position to see a man watching her closely. He was leaning against the fence behind first base and he smiled when she looked at him. He didn't look scary and she quickly dismissed the fear she had felt. After the game he sat on a bleacher while she talked to the coach. She noticed his smile once again as she walked past him. He nodded and she smiled back. He noticed her name on back of the shirt. He knew he had found her. Quietly he walked a safe distance behind her. He didn't want to frighten her and have to explain what he was doing to anyone. It was only a few blocks to Shannon's home and once he saw where she lived he quickly returned to the park to get his car. Now he had to wait. He decided to get a bite to eat until the time came to go to Shannon's house. He drove to a fast food restaurant and sat there until time to make his move. Shannon was in her room later that evening when she heard voices in the living room. "Shannon, come here," her father called. He sounded upset and she couldn't imagine why. She went into the room to see the man from the ballpark sitting on the sofa. "Sit down," her father began, "this man is a policeman and he has just told us a most interesting story about you." Shannon moved cautiously to a chair across from the man. How could he tell her parents anything? She had never seen him before today! "Do you know who I am Shannon?" The man asked "No_" Shannon answered. "I am your on line friend, GoTo123." Shannon was stunned. "That's impossible! GoTo is a kid my age! He's 14 and he lives in Michigan!" The man smiled. "I know I told you all that_ but it wasn't true. You see Shannon there are people online who pretend to be kids; I was one of them. But while others do it to find kids and hurt them, I belong to a group of parents who do it to protect kids from predators. I came here to find you to teach you how dangerous it is to give out too much information to people online. You told me enough about yourself to make it easy for me to find you. Your name, the school you went to, the name of your ball team and the position you played. The number and name on your jersey just made finding you a breeze." Shannon was stunned. "You mean you don't live in Michigan?" He laughed. "No, I live in Raleigh. It made you feel safe to think I was so far away, didn't it?" She nodded. "I had a friend whose daughter was like you. Only she wasn't as lucky. The guy found her and murdered her while she was home alone. Kids are taught not to tell anyone when they are alone, yet they do it all the time online. The wrong people trick you into giving out information a little here and there online. Before you know it, you have told them enough for them to find you without even realizing you have done it. I hope you've learned a lesson from this and won't do it again." "I won't," Shannon promised solemnly. "Will you tell others about this so they will be safe too?" "It's a promise!" ============= Laura A. a.k.a.

I'm in the middle of trying to do that card too, and if it comes off the way it's supposed to, it will be gorgeous!

I have my doubts as to whether it will work or not. My question is this - why do you even NEED to stamp on the laminate, wouldn't it be just fine without the image, as long as you 'seal' the glitter in between the layers?

Every time I see a post from someone saying they're going out of town for the weekend or going on vacation I just cringe. It would be easy for an up-to-no-good-lurker to visit your house while you're gone and do some Spring cleaning for you. A nonspecific "I'm unsubbing till next week" or "I won't be answering my emails for a while" would be a little safer and you could address specific question in private email. And it's not just email.

No, I don't think the progression is logical, other than from stamps more easily obtained to stamps less easy to get. Also, stamps used will vary with techniques used.

When I was having my credit card system set up, I was asking about getting cc numbers over the internet. His comment was, what do you do when you go to a resturantent and sign the slip and they leave it on the table to be picked up by the bus boy? or the kid at the gas station that to get the job had to pass only one test, was he alive. The point being that we are leaving clues all the time. And it doesn't take any kind of special equipment, just a pencil and a piece of paper. This weekend Marlene's sister was telling us the problems her son (who hasn't lived in Cal for a couple of years) had resently with his cc. She got a call one day from his cc company wanting to know where he was in the mid-west or Cal, as they were getting charges from both places on the same card. Looks like they got the number when he was out there and just held it until now. I think it is time we start making the crooks work at hard labor, and freeing us would stay locked in our secrity (hopefully) apartments.

LOL! It really depends on what you're into and also where you start...for instance, some newbies have taken classes (like 3-D cards) that I haven't taken after five years of stamping. For me, I moved into a little less cute...although the degree of cuteness I like in my cute hasn't changed. It's just that I discovered there was more out there and got into that. I also moved to unmounteds, stamps that would work well in combination, and, from that, into scenic. The first year or so I stamped, I was still thinking only in terms of stationery. After that I started thinking postcards..... and the rest is history, Cynthia This message was from Cynthia Sillitoe - -- The rubberstampers mailing list is proudly sponsored by the Dueling Modems Arts & Crafts Forum.

If you're brave, keep the children and pets indoors and start openly clicking cameras at people and vehicles coming and going from the place that's suspected of being the location of illegal activities. The more people who do this, the more likely it is to be effective. The effectiveness is *not* limited by the availability of film for the cameras as long as it's not known that the cameras are non-functional. Log the date and time of each camera's click. Lawyer-types can advise if there's any potential legal problem as long as the people taking the pictures are on their own property. I began with "If you're brave" ... you need to weigh the risk of action against the risk of in-action, in terms of both household safety and individual karma.

Simple Stamping Tips Ever been stamping, and think, Duh? How come I never did it *THAT* way before? I'd like to hear some of those tips.... For me, I figured out these tonight: A brayer is a good tool for spreading YES glue REALLY thin on the paper when you want the paper completely covered (especially if you remember to wash the brayer RIGHT after you do that) Running your brayer OVER a soap bar (I use Lava) gets it REALLY clean. (Somehow, some of the bad dye-stains came OUT when I did that tonight) If you *blow* the glitter off the work space, you should cover your work space with newspapers UNDERNEATH where you work.... (unfortunately, this tip came as a result of blowing BEFORE puttin the paper down, but once again the dogs look pretty....) I am sure these are things all of y'all have already thought of and already do. Maybe y'all think they don't need to be shared *because* they are so simple. I think my learning curve is REALLY slow, so I'd like to hear YOUR simple tips :) Serene This message was from SereneGirl - -- The rubberstampers mailing list is proudly sponsored by the Dueling Modems Arts & Crafts Forum.

The thing I do best is: (try to anyhow) juggle my busy life! - full-time college, part-time work, adjusting to single parenthood, taking care of a house that needs all kinds of work, leader to 3 Girl Scout troops and a Clown Club, sorority events (officer there too) and various school, church, and other activities The thing I don't have any skill / ability / tolerance for is: prejudice and hurting/neglecting children and animals If I could wake up tomorrow with one talent that I don't have now, it would be : the ability to say "No" more often and to lose some weight (I can't say "no" to chocolate either!) My best friends are usually: supportive, caring, loving, and fun - mostly familiy, sorority sisters, and other GS leaders What single thing contributes most significantly to your ability to get a good night's sleep? - What's a good night's sleep?? If anything, it is probably exhaustion. Other hobbies besides rubber stamping? I hardly have time to stamp and have made one card in the last two weeks! I spend lots of time on the computer but that is mostly schoolwork and I end up deleting lots of RS mail for lack of time. I used to love any craft, reading, walking around local lakes, cooking, entertaining, going to plays, spending more time with friends and family, and most importantly spending lots of time with my kids.

I think my learning curve is REALLY slow, so I'd like to hear YOUR >simple tips :) If you're helping someone learn how to stamp, *never* presume that they have a clue. It'll save both you and the student a *lot* of stress. Just say that you *always* go through the "basics" with *everyone* you teach and with *anyone* who'll use your equipment and supplies. Always clean the stamp before using a white stamp pad (or light-colored or embossing pad) ... even if you think you *know* it's clean, save yourself stress. If you're going to set a wet stamp down for "just a moment", consider doing it on a damp surface, to be *certain* that it won't dry. Blotting off wet ink is easier than picking out dried. It may be healthier to damp wipe surfaces with a disposable napkin or towel than to brush the last bits of EP or glitter onto the floor ... for pets to breathe sooner and you to breathe later. I've put small nails inside cupboard doors ... *lots* of storage area for scissors and glue sticks and tape, anything that would hang from a hook in a store. And I've learned to get "back-up" for items I like ... so there's a spare permanent glue-stick and a spare non-permanent glue-stick, and they're different brands to make it easier to not use the wrong one for the job. If you keep getting smudges from untrimmed sections of a die ... trim it! Sometimes it helps to trim sections out of the middle of a stamp ... do it! And if you're using HALOS and you find that you're always masking the same section of a die and only using a lesser portion, consider dividing the die. I'd shown a dealer my huge Judikins hieroglph stamp and she'd gotten one, but she weighs less than I do and she despaired of *ever* getting a decent impression from it. She divided it into 4 smaller stamps, voila, no problem.
