Dad and Unkie would not be proud. Cut through a cord WHILE it was plugged in. Ooops. Soldered the scissors.
The annual PowerPlex User Conference is packed wall-to-wall with value content. We spend a few days filling our heads with best practices, new ideas and more capabilities. So at the end of the day, we like to unplug our brains for a few hours and have some fun. We call it “PartyPlex”. It’s a chance to hang-out with all the Plex users and Plexians, engage in some friendly competition and raise money for one of our favorite charities.
This year’s PartyPlex took place at the new Dallara IndyCar Racing Experience in Speedway, Indiana. Attendees experienced the thrill of racing with laps in the cockpit of a street legal IndyCar, behind the wheel of racing simulator games and around the minicar track. There was plenty of good food, drink and music to go around.
This year’s focus charity was the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Michigan. Make-A-Wish grants the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with joy. We think it’s a remarkable organization. We were delighted to raise more than $21,000 to support their efforts with the PartyPlex Silent Auction and games.

First attempt at bringing my drawings on to the computer. Not sure about the placement of the cord, and Im not set on the color yet, just trying some out.
Text will say something like "Unplug Unused Appliances" "Save Money, Save Energy", or maybe just "Unplug Unused Appliances".
Any thoughts or suggestions?

My wife and I decided that the best way to unplug from our lives was to get on a boat and get as far away as we can! We got to enjoy to sights and sounds that our southern country of Mexico had to offer aboard the Carnival Fantasy Cruise liner. And, I got to try my hand in street photography using vintage lenses. Honestly one of the best vacations to date, and we are looking forward to going back!

The best part about getting my iPod stolen by a hyper 2-year-old rawk star is the fact that after she gets the iPod, she unplugs the headphones and proceeds to start dancing around the room with the earbuds in.... sans music.
What this says about the voices/music in her head? Obviously the apple falls not far from the tree :)
It was difficult to capture the meaning of the wood chips and stones in any one photograph. These pics provide some of the impact, I think.
We headed to Hocking Hills this past weekend, for what has become our annual unplug and recharge weekend.
Setup: Ironing board, iron, crumpled receipts, laundry clips, radio and drying rack. I will iron all the crumpled receipts. The heat will
turn receipts black. I will hang the receipts on the drying rack. Then, I will unplug the iron and radio and walk away. I will perform in uniform.

New singing Rapunzel doll has been fully deboxed. She is standing, supported by a doll stand borrowed from one of my Disney Store Limited Edition 17 inch dolls. She is also holding the light up lantern in her right hand, with her arm outstretched to her side.
She is identical to last year's Singing Rapunzel, except that she sings 'I See the Light' instead of 'Healing Incantation', and the packaging is different. The Try Me feature is activated by opening the lid, and she sings 10 seconds of the song. To debox her, you have to open the bottom first, so you can unplug the Try Me wire from the front lid. Then you can lift the inner box (to which the doll is attached) from the outer box. She is attached to the inner box and plastic supports by wires, tiny T-tabs and rubber bands.
After the Try Me wire is unplugged from the back of the doll, she can now sing the 45 seconds of 'I See the Light' by sliding the lantern on her right hand. The lantern and plastic flowers in her hair light up while she sings.
I got the singing Rapunzel doll last Friday (July 22, 2016) from the Disney Store, that I ordered during the Friends and Family sale. I have yet to see her in stores (as of July 31, 2016).
Even though I'm not thrilled with the look of the new Rapunzel's box, the Try Me mechanism is rather neat. You first enable the Try Me switch by pulling a long plastic tab in the back. Then there is a switch attached to the hinge of the front cover, which is activated when you close then open the lid far enough. It will cause Rapunzel to sing about 10 seconds of I See the Light, and light up the lantern she is holding and flowers in her hair. I will post more detailed photos of Rapunzel when I debox her. I still have not seen her in stores yet. And the new singing Belle doll is nowhere to be found, either in stores or online.
Now I have singing rapunzel dolls with three different songs. ''When Will My Life Begin'' (2011 - 2014), ''Healing Incantation'' (2015) and now ''I See the Light'' (2016). I wish that other of the Disney singing dolls would have such a variation in their songs.
The fact that all sides are covered by cardboard (except for the oval plastic window in front), makes the box very sturdy. In particular, all the edges and corners are really stiff, so resist damage during shipping. My doll's box came in perfect shape, which I can't say for most of the doll boxes I order from the Disney Store. The box wasn't packed any better than usual (a few airbags on the bottom of the shipping carton), but the sturdiness of the doll's box made the difference. Also this box is much thicker (deeper) than previous singing doll boxes, and even LE doll boxes, so leaves lots of room to position the doll nicely. The new construction also means the boxed doll is bulkier and heavier than previous singing dolls, so may be more costly to ship.

one very hot day....this was taken before lunch, and after lunch we had such a massive storm that the lighting fried the modem, router and partly disabled my computer (I unplugged the power but forgot to unplug the internet!)...oops!

Here's what it can look like when your DTV converter box quits. I got home yesterday and turned on the TV (usually leave the box on so it keeps up with program guide info) and got this. Couldn't turn the box off with either remote or front panel button. Had to unplug it to clear. Just what I need - my TV with the equivalent of a Blue Screen of Death...
Unplug all the connectors at the rear of the control panel, then remove all the screws around the perimeter of the sheet metal cover.
Each of us artistically rendered our names on a stone, and our essay topics on a wood chip. We started to place these on the floor and think about how they might connect prior to heading to our working groups.
Creo que con lo mucho que le gustó, posiblemente monte su carrito de perros en UK.

Playing outside at a local playscape reminded me to make Dominic unplug from the electronics every once in a while and just be a kid. He had just come down the slide here... the photo captures everything I could say in words.
My boys and I spent the day visiting my parents' yesterday, where I tried to unplug from social media and focus on family. I couldn't resist taking a bunch of pictures though, because I love my childhood home and hometown so much! This is our family's kitchen. Like many kitchens, it is the heart of my parents' home. We've had many long conversations here. My sis and I learned about the birds and the bees here. I was doing my homework here when the 1989 Loma Prieta quake hit (I literally watched the earthquake waves roll through the house). We unveiled our matching angel tattoos that we got while they were out of town one year (Dad laughed and said if we would've waited he would've taken us to get good ones; Mom was so pissed to couldn't speak to us lol). And my mom, an amazing cook, prepared many, many amazing meals with lots of love here! Now 3 grandsons are making the next generation of memories here.
What is the epicenter of your family home? What memories to you have of that space?

playfulpaperwork: The kitchen is always a great place for making memories ... sharing meals, cooking together and lots of laughing. A close second would be our play space, though!
sewliciousbowtique: The kitchen sink 😊 My mom and I had many "life talks" while washing and drying dishes
ruralish: @playfulpaperwork that sounds like a happy play space! I bet your kiddos love it there. ☺️
ruralish: @sewliciousbowtique what a great memory! I wonder if your mom "planned" any of those dish chats lol. I had totally forgotten about my husband's and my first apartment together (pre-marriage) and we didn't have a dishwasher. We had a lot of nice chats over those dishes!
kupper11: Thanks for sharing. It's great to see my plates in context !
ruralish: @kupper11 these are at my parents @rekrap2 in Port Costa, where I grew up! I have quite a few things of yours in my kitchen to remind me of home. 💕
