Oh, how lovely. :-( I am so sorry to hear this. Have you made a list of
what is missing? It may be difficult to determine, I know. When I was
broken into, I'd still find things missing up to a few weeks later. I just
kept calling the police to add the items to the report.

Good luck and I hope they catch the guys who did this.

Geeze, that sucks.

Chances are they won't catch the thieves, not unless there was
anything valuable and out of the ordinary taken, something that would
send up a red flag when it was attempted to be disposed of. Everyone
should take lots of pictures of everything they own, all valuables,
room by room, wall by wall, open each closet, each dresser drawer,
every cabinet... basement, attic, garage, everything outdoors, even
inside your car trunk. Then upload all your pics to a photo website,
there are plenty of free ones. And take tons of pictures, with
digicams it's easy, it's free.

I hope they catch the thief, but don't hold your breath... your stuff
is probably all gone by now, traded for drugs.

That is unfortunate. It leaves you feeling violated doesn't it. My house
was broken into about 15 years ago. We were away on a skiing vacation at
the time. The police caught the burglars. It was a bunch of teenagers from
my sons school. They knew we were going to be away for the March break. We
used to get a lot of telephone calls with hang-ups as soon as we answered.
We got a new and unlisted number after that, but now that we have call
display we are listed again.

What's "call display" and what does that have to do with having an
unpublished number?

You can have call display and have your number blocked from showing on
other's phones...well you can up here. So sayth the telephone Company
employeee. There's the feature where you push a series of numbers and
block your number from showing on a call by call bases or you can have
total number blocking at various levels of serverity on all calls you
make. That doesn't stop you from seeing who is calling you...excepting
others can do the same. You can also get label service where a number not
necessarily yours is displayed (businesses do it all the time). When they
want you to call back at a 800 number or whatever.

Unfortunately, unless you can PROVE that your life was in imminent
danger, and no, the break-in alone isn't enough to prove that, you're
looking at a very long time in jail.

Sad but true.

I don't agree with Missouri's [censored], Republican (sorry, I know

necessarily yours is displayed (businesses do it all the time). When they
want you to call back at a 800 number or whatever.

There are two primary features (all features are covered in the front of
your phonebook).

Call Block
Call Reject

Call Block blocks the caller's number from the receiving party.
(Doesn't work on 911 and the realm of 800, 866, etc. numbers).

Call Reject rejects calls that use Call Block.
(Again doesn't work on 911 and the "realm"😉

Caller ID is a the familiar third service (incoming # ID) that's only
useful purpose these days is for Caller Photo ID at a glance, seen on
advanced cell phones. If it's a pay-for service, it's hardly worth the
money.

And then there's *57. This will record incoming call info for police, used
for "harassment by phone" instances, aiding in criminal prosecution.

What you CAN do is when you leave the house, turn on call-forwarding to
your cell phone. You'll get your house phone calls on the cell and callers
will be none the wiser.

Again all this information is in the front of your phonebook. Informative
reading, if nothing else.

I guess it's time to ask, what is a "double tap"? Obviously it is
force, but is it lethal or non-lethal?

A double-tap is a rapid-fire two rounds from a handgun.

As mentioned above, self-defense doesn't include lethal force for defending
"things," rather defending the lives of yourself and those around you from
imminent death, AS A LAST RESORT!!!

The time to commit a crime is when the police
are overloaded with other activities. Holidays
and major natural disasters (earthquakes, forest
fires, etc.) are examples.

The time to commit a crime with a gun is when
there's lots of other explosions to cover up
the sound of gunfire, New Year's Eve and
4th of July in the U.S.

If someone I don't recognize breaks into my house or business when I'm
present, I'll be in fear of my life. That's all that's required. I don't
have to 'prove' it, I just have to say it.

There is nothing we can do till we go down in November. It's a 5 day
drive so not something we can just do. I know they stole the air
conditioner and the park manager said it's a mess. They broke in to our
shed too and I don't know what's been taken. Unfortunately we didn't
insure the place. We were going to do it this year. So we are stuck.

That's what we do but the dumbest was not listening to my inner voice to
insure before we left. And I know it was dumb!

NOT GOOD ENOUGH.

How fast can you evaluate a threat??? How do you REACT to a threat?
"STOP!!!"? In your home or your business? I'd say you're "I just have to
say it" would qualify you for prison time.

Suppose it was an Alzheimers person thinking he's breaking into his OWN
home. Would you be right in using lethal force? NOPE. But you'd shoot first
and find out later he was your next door neighbor.

Ya BUM!!!

The hams I buy are Smithfield or Cooks. I look for the spiral sliced
hames, but sometimes they are not available. Once, I bought a Cooks ham
that was not spiral sliced, and it was not cooked either, I had to bake
it. Like Steve said, "Ready to cook" was printed on the label.

Becca

I strongly doubt that you ever had a raw spiral sliced ham.

The store was out of spriral sliced hams, so I took what I could find.
This has me wondering if I eat too much ham. LOL

Becca

I just purchase whole hams and have the meat cutters in the back cut
them into steaks for me. They do it for free. They take the back 6" of
the bonier section and cut that in 1/2 lengthwise for use in making ham
stock.
