Guest guest Posted October 3, 2005 Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 I to not have any advice to this but wanted to sahre of a thing. My daughter had been learning of rights and wrongs and sins and such so much to remember when you are of little but she to mixed them all into one huge thinking and so one day maybe age of 9 or so I to heared the door slam of shut and came to investigate of the noise and hear is my youngest daughter coming in with plastic bag and tape it was 7 AM and she when I to aksed her she to say she placed letters on peoples doors. I to say what letters she to say leters to remind them they are going to hell ofr sins of smoking and drinking and drugging LOL. I to picked her up and ran out night gown and all and quickly asked her where did you to put the notes and she showed of me and I to hoped I to getted them all and had to explain to her this is not a correct way to get people to be of healthy and it is not christian like to judge of peoples and say they are of going to hell for sins. But regardless it was a fear for me ever so much after that. One things I to did to my home whem my son was little who was my escape person is to hang a long strand of jingle bells to the door. So if the door was opened or shut the bells would be to jingle and make noise for me to hear of it . I to also had an outside door in which I to had a hook lock way to the top so my childrens had to scoot things to reach it to get out first.

Guest guest Posted October 3, 2005 Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 The ones my parents installed for their pool can be disabled so when there are no little kids in the house they don't have to listen to the alarm every time someone opens the door.
