2. Protect basements windows with metal grates or bars.

5. Place light on both sides of the entrance door.
6. Install a wide angle peep hole.
7. Install dead bolt locks on all doors.
8. Make sure that all exterior doors are solid core doors.
9. Install motion detecting lights Place lights high enough so they can't be reach without a ladder.
10. If you have an automatic garage door opener, consider replacing it with one that has a "rolling code."
11. Don't forget garage doors. Pad lock the track when going away for a long time.
12. Secure sliding doors with keyed pin locks that are screwed inside into the frame.

I certainly LOVE the Fred Head! Photoshop CS3 is pretty cool, huh?

Here's a household safety tip to add to your list:

1) Keep a box of matches in the restroom. It really works!

I can see that the CS3 classes are working wonders. So much fun, I'm envious of you and Debra getting to take them.

You are getting pretty darn good with Photoshop! And tell me, what does Fred think about this little cut and paste technique.

I'll refrain from comment about Fred's new look . . .
BUT wanted you to know I bought one of those PedEggs today at Target. Guess who stole it from me?? Dan! That's ok -- he needs it more than I do!
