Without laws and officials to enforce them, society would disintegrate.
They're crucial for the stability and fairness for each and every community
throughout the world. However, while laws and enforcement are fundamentally
sound, not all legislation and officials within the legal system are well
intentioned. It is one thing for there to be ridiculous, outdated laws on the
books, and it is a totally different thing when those absurd laws are actually
enforced. There is also the issue of interpretation and how each individual law
enforcer sees certain laws and how best to enforce them.
As ridiculous as it is,
there are numerous instances where law enforcers have arrested and/or fined
everyday law abiding citizens for the craziest reasons. There have, of course,
been numerous individuals who needed to be arrested for the dumbest of crimes.
Ultimately, it is this combination of questionable law enforcement and personal
decision making by some citizens that result in some of the funniest arrests of
all time. The following are 25 examples of funny and crazy arrest stories:
25) Reading Emails
In 2010, Leon Walker was facing five years in prison for reading his wife's
emails. He had wanted to determine if she was cheating on him. Unbeknownst to
Walker, it's illegal to read another person's emails without their consent, due
to the prevalence of identity theft.
Despite Walker's reasons for reading his
wife's emails, he was prosecuted as if he were a hacker. The charges were later
dropped in 2012 when it was discovered that Walker's wife had herself been
secretly snooping on him by looking through his phone.
24) Refusing a Pat Down
In 2010, Claire Hirschkind (former rape survivor), was arrested and banned
from the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (ABIA) because she refused to
let the airport's security touch her breasts as part of a pat down. Hirschkind
had agreed to a pat down but specified that she didn't want her boobs touched.
When security insisted that she had to have her breasts felt, Hirschkind said no
and she was subsequently forced to the ground and handcuffed.
She was then
dragged away by security. An ABIA spokesman defended the TSA's policy which
states that anyone who draws security's attention can either choose not to fly
or allow for a thorough pat down. As far as the TSA and ABIA were concerned,
Hirschkind refused either option and thus it was appropriate in their minds to
arrest and ban her from the airport.
23) Swearing
In 2010, a Milwaukee man, Tim Duncan, was fined $500 for disorderly conduct
after he swore on a bus. Specifically, he used two four letter words, starting
with the letters F and S. He was given the fine after an undercover police
officer overheard him, ordering him off the bus. Duncan had merely sworn while
having a conversation, and hadn't directed the words at anybody specifically.
When Duncan went public with his intentioned to contest the fine, the Milwaukee
County Sheriff's department explained that they had a zero-tolerance policy in
regards to disorderly behavior on buses, as it was an issue of quality-of-life
for the area's citizens.
22) Not Recycling
In 2010, officials for the city of Cleveland detailed plans to examine
residents' rubbish to make sure locals were recycling – and those that were not
would be fined $100. The plan made use of a high-tech rubbish collection system
that involved trash and recycling carts that had barcodes and radio frequency
identification chips. These allowed city employees to determine just how
frequently locals put their recycling bins out to be collected. If a chip
highlighted that a recycle bin hadn't been put out for collection in a number of
weeks, then a supervisor would inspect the resident's regular bin for recyclable
content. If a bin had more that 10% material that could be recycled, then a fine
would be handed out.
The city spent $2.5 million on the project. Washington,
D.C. and a number of cities in England had already made use of the technology.
The city's motivation was that the council would spend $30 million per ton to
dump rubbish in landfills, while earning $26 million per ton of recyclable
material a year.
21) Drawing on a Desk
In 2010, twelve-year-old junior high student, Alexa Gonzalez, was arrested in
New York City for writing on her desk. Not only were the words relatively
harmless (one scribble involved her name and the date, while another was about
how much she loved her friends), but both could easily have been removed. Rather
than punishing the student with a standard detention, Gonzalez's school opted to
have her handcuffed and taken to a police station.
Gonzalez was held for a number of hours, before being released. Ultimately,
she ended up doing community service for eight hours and writing a book report,
coupled with an essay that illustrated what she'd leaned from the event. In
retrospect, a spokesperson for the Education Department, David Cantor, stated
that the whole incident should never have occurred – rather, common sense should
have prevailed.
20) Flatulence
In 2008, a thirteen-year-old from Spectrum Junior-Senior High School was
arrested for the crimes of turning off a classmate's computer and passing gas.
By all reports, the flatulence was the worst of his crimes, as he was alleged to
have repeatedly interrupted class with his passing of wind. The student was put
under arrest by the school resource officer. After the boy confessed to his
misbehavior, he was released into the care of his mother. He was charged with
disrupting a school function.
19) Selling Milk
In 2010, federal agents stormed an Amish farm at 5:00 a.m. in search of milk.
The feds suspected that farmer, Dan Allgyer, had violated the Public Health
Services Act by selling raw milk. For his offense, he was facing a seizure
and/or injunction. Allgyer had been part of a movement in natural food that was
promoting traditional means of food production that connected farmers directly
with customers. This created a conflict between the farmer and federal food
The federal agents looked in Allgyer's cooler and freezer area, taking
numerous pictures, while keeping him from being able to work. Advocates for raw
milk say it is healthier than store bought milk and insist that factory farming
and the foods produced make people sick. Whether that's true or not, was of no
regard, however, as the law prohibits the sale of untreated milk.
In a similar incident, farmer Mark Nolt also had his farm swamped by federal
agents, who fined him more than $4,000, and confiscated his equipment for
distributing unpasteurized milk.
18) Using a Knife to Cut Lunch
In 2007, a ten-year-old girl brought her own lunch to school, along with a
small steak knife, with which to eat it. For her action, she was arrested and
faced with a felony charge. Despite the fact that the girl was using the utensil
properly when school officials discovered the knife, the police were called. As
the police were unable to contact the girl's parents, they opted to arrest her.
She was taken to the county's juvenile assessment center.
School officials insisted that they had no choice but to call the police.
They stated that anytime a weapon was brought on campus they had to report it
because they didn't want to take any chances. For their part, the police even
thought the case was extreme. Law enforcers made it clear to the media that they
had responded, not because of the law, but to enforce the school's policy.
Ultimately, the police handed the case over to the State Attorney's Office, with
the student facing a felony charge regarding possession of a weapon on school
premises. The girl was suspended for ten days from her school.
17) Food Fight
In 2009, more than two dozen students aged between 11 and 15 were arrested
after a food fight took place in a school cafeteria. The event happened spur of
the moment after a couple of pieces of food were thrown, which then led to the
all out food fight. As a result, 25 students were arrested and charged with a
misdemeanor of reckless conduct.
The children involved were also detained by
police for up to five hours before their parents were notified.
16) Not Returning a Ball
In 2008, 88-year-old Edna Jester refused to give back her neighbor's football
when it ended up on her property. She was irate over yet another instance when a
ball had found its way into her yard. Her neighbor, Paul Tanis, who owned the
ball, called the police. The officers arrested Jester when she maintained that
she would not hand over the football, which led to charges of petty theft.
15) Sex with a Picnic Table
In 2008, Art Price Jr. was arrested for having sex with a picnic table. To
make a strange situation even stranger, it turned out that Price had an
extensive history of sexual relations with outdoor furniture, as witnessed by
his neighbors on at least four separate occasions.
This is one crazy arrest
14) Shouting at Trees While Naked
Another funny story that may catch your attention is about Dieter Braun. In
2009, Braun maintained that he was simply employing a "stress release" technique
when he was found standing naked and screaming at trees. Apparently his marriage
counselor had suggested he try the curious technique as a form of relaxation
Indeed, Braun had found that the method worked with the breeze on his naked
skin calming him down. However, members of the public near the forest in which
Braun practiced the therapy didn't appreciate the positive effect of the
outcome. Neither did the police who arrested Braun for being a public nuisance.
13) Swearing at Police in Sign Language
In 2009, Balraj Gill who is deaf and unable to speak was arrested when he
swore at the police in sign language. The incident happened when police escorted
Gill to a hostel where he'd been staying. Though the officers initially had no
idea what Gill had said to them, a worker translated Gill's comments, detailing
the extensive explicit language that was said to them.
While the officers knew
that Gill was deeply upset, it wasn't until the translation that they understood
just how angry he was. They decided to charge him, despite the fact that he
never made any sound. Gill later pled guilty to disturbing the peace.
12) Selling Pierced Cats
In 2009, Holly Crawford was arrested for selling pierced black kittens. The
animals were pierced in the neck, ears and tail, and they were promoted as
"gothic." She sold them for $100 each over the internet, which quickly led to
charges of animal cruelty. Ultimately, it was PETA who busted her for the abuse
of the animals.
In her defense, Crawford stated that she didn't believe that
there was a difference between piercing a human or a cat – even if cats can't
consent to the act.
11) Passing Gas Near a Police Officer
In 2008, Jose Cruz was arrested and charged with assault when he passed gas
near a police officer. T.E. Parsons had been in the process of fingerprinting
Cruz when Cruz edged towards Parsons and "loudly farted" on the law enforcer.
Cruz then attempted to direct the gas into Parsons' face.
10) Sex with Street Signs
In 2009, police in South Dakota arrested 60-year-old, Verle Peter Dills, when
he was caught performing a variety of sex acts on a traffic sign. When police
searched his residence, they discovered a significant quantity of video footage
that showed Dills involved in various sex acts with numerous traffic signs.
Dills was charged with unlawful occupancy and burglary, along with six counts of
public indecency.
9) Burping
In 2011, a thirteen-year-old was handcuffed and taken to juvenile a detention
center after he burped loudly in gym class. When the student was transported to
juvenile hall, the school failed to notify his parents. Furthermore, he was
suspended for the remainder of the school year without any justification – other
than the fact that he had burped.
While in juvenile detention, the boy was
evaluated and found to be absolutely no threat to anyone. Ultimately, the
student wasn't charged for the incident and his parents launched legal action
against the school.
8) Spilling Milk
In 2011, two teenage students, a boy and his former girlfriend, were arrested
for getting into an altercation at school. In the process, the two ended up
pouring milk on each other, when their break up got out of hand. The event led
both of them to appear in court to explain their actions.
7) Spraying Perfume
In 2012, twelve-year-old, Sarah Bustamantes, was arrested for spraying
perfume on herself during a lesson at school. The teacher felt that the move was
disruptive to the rest of the class. Despite the fact that Bustamantes had
applied the perfume because she was being bullied by other students who were
teasing her - saying that she smelled, the teacher felt that it was only
Bustamantes' behavior that was inappropriate – apparently, the bullying was
The charges were later dropped.
6) Freeing a Whale
In 2010, a U.S. District Court handed down a fine of $500 to fisherman,
Robert J. Eldridge, when he opted to free a whale from nets rather than
contacting the authorities. When Eldridge appeared in court over the matter, he
was informed that he should have notified wildlife experts to help the whale –
even if the whale may have suffocated by the time they had arrived.
ridiculous as the situation was, it could have been even worse, as the maximum
punishment for Eldridge's crime was a year in jail and a $100,000 fine.
5) Being a Vocal Child
In 2010, six-year-old, Haley Franklin, was handcuffed and taken to a mental
health facility because she was disruptive in a class at her school. The child
had a history of throwing items and hitting school officials, which is why the
school staff ended up calling the police after she became vocally upset one day.
Whether the extreme measures were intended to actually help her or scare her
straight, the result was traumatic for the little girl.
As many youth arrest
stories conclude, the child's misbehavior was associated with being the victim
of bullying.
4) Opening a Christmas Present Early
Another crazy story happened in 2006 when a twelve-year-old boy, Brandon
Jones, was arrested after he opened his Christmas present early without his
parents' permission. In a bizarre attempt to teach him a lesson, Jones' mother
called the police and he was arrested after his mother insisted that the police
charge him for unwrapping a Nintendo Gameboy Advance.
After confessing to the "crime," Jones was put in handcuffs and led to the
police car. He was then taken to the station and charged with petty larceny.
Jones had to wait at the police station for four hours while his mother attended
church. His mother had hoped the anxious wait would scare her son straight, as
her son was uncontrollable and he had an extensive history of misbehavior. In
the end, Jones' mother gave the Gameboy to someone else.
3) Attending a Meeting
In 2012, five-year-old Michael Davis had his hands and feet bound with zip
ties and he was taken from his school to the hospital for psychiatric
evaluation. He was then charged with assault of a police office. The police
officer had been called to the school to speak to Davis.
The meeting had been arranged by Davis' school, in an attempt to scare the
hyperactive child straight and stop him from disrupting classes. It was this
misguided plan that led to the child being treated like a common (adult)
criminal – despite the fact that it was the meeting itself that agitated the
child in the first place, causing him to act out.
2) Dog Droppings
In 2010, 49-year-old Ann Stanczyk was beaten by NYPD officers, Richard DiMartino and Shaun Grossweiler, over a dispute involving a mess her dog had
allegedly made. Stanczyk had been walking her dog Psotka when she was confronted
by the police. The officers claimed that Stanczyk hadn't cleaned up Psotka's
mess. Stanczyk insisted to the officers that her dog had only urinated but the
officers disagreed when they saw a mess nearby.
Stanczyk was ordered to pick the mess up. She refused because it wasn't her
dog's mess. Ultimately, Stanczyk ended up in handcuff and under arrest. It was
when she struggled against being put into the police car that the officers began
to beat her. She was struck in the face, chest and stomach in the altercation.
She also injured her knee in the scuffle. The case was later dismissed.
1) Being a Goat
In 2009, a group of vigilantes in Nigeria tried to capture a pair of would-be
car thieves. While one man got away, the group managed to capture the other man
involved... kind of. According to the vigilantes, they captured the man but only
after he had transformed into a goat in an attempt to avoid prosecution. The
suspect goat was taken to police who held the animal until they could confirm
that he had nothing to do with the crime for which he was accused.
With the fundamental need for laws there is also the necessity for sound and
committed enforcement, both on a personal and systematic level. Unfortunately,
that's not always the case from one society to the next. Certainly there are a
number of people out there who break the law – sometimes in the weirdest ways –
and it's reassuring that the authorities are there to properly deal with these
unusual situations. But sometimes the police and the law themselves are the very
problem. Even when citizens are doing the right thing, they can still be falsely
accused of a crime, fined unjustly and even arrested due to the misguided or
downright bizarre actions of law enforcers. Alarmingly, this means that any one
of us can be arrested at any time for pretty much anything and everything.

Another solid show here tonight. UNITE is now in its third week and it seems to have found its voices. Marianela is funny and quick reading the tweets, sometimes she made a good job selling them as funnier than they really are, and Danny and Reese have some good banter on the couch.
If it's this kind of show every day it can work.

Once I drove it, I KNEW this was the car for us. My husband and I both recently retired, so we are ready to travel! Rides like a dream, quiet and so comfortable. We love being in our Traverse so much that after three months, we already have five thousand miles on it. Go USA!
Best FeaturesCamera sensor, ONSTAR ( have used it so many times, how did I ever live without it. XM Radio (how did I live without this, also? Cargo space is awesome and the extra row in the back is so convenient. Love the classy style, price, and most of all the way it handles, it handles like a car!
Worst FeaturesBetter gas mileage, otherwise, this is an incredible, wonderful vehicle!

Manti Te'o Claims He Didn't Lie… Except About This One Thing
Manti Te'o is sticking to his story. Speaking to ESPN Friday, the Notre Dame football player claims he was indeed catfished, contrary to rumors that Te'o knew his online girlfriend, Lenny Kekua, knew she never existed in the first place.
"I wasn't faking it," he told ESPN. "I wasn't part of this."
Following news that Te'o was duped online by a woman who supposedly died of leukemia in September, many began to speculate that the football player was actively perpetuating the story of Kekua's existence despite knowing she was a personality allegedly made up by Ronaiah Tuiasosopa, a former friend of Teo's.
While the Notre Dame player is claiming he was tricked, he did, however, admit to ESPN that he had lied to his father and the public about having met Kekua prior to her "death." "I knew it was crazy that I was with somebody that I didn't meet," he said. "So I kind of tailored my stories to have people think that, yeah, he met her before she passed away."
So if Te'o wasn't responsible, who was? Te'o agreed with reports that Tuiasosopo was behind Kekua's online profile, and also claimed two others — who have since apologized to him — had created Te'o's fake girlfriend. "When [people] hear the facts, they'll know," he said. "They'll know that there is no way that I could be part of this."

replacement window latch/lock
A handy person from Beaumont Texas says:
October 2, 2013
I need replacement latches from the picture I sent. The house was built in 1967. I have no idea what make these are. Any help you can give would be appreciated. They have a lip that fits into a little cutout in the window frame to latch and you have to pull the front part up to unlatch them.
Paul from SWISCO responded:
October 3, 2013
It's hard to see what you have, but I would start by looking at our 90-012 and seeing if this would make a good match.

So all of you who were in Europe in August - how crowded was it where you were?
I travel to Europe every July and, with a few exceptions, find the crowds not as bad as a lot of people would have you believe. But I have heard August is when it gets really bad. I've heard this from locals in numerous different places, and I've also noticed if I check hotel prices in July versus August that they generally are higher in August - leading to the same conclusion. I kind of think the 'really bad' crowds are in the coastal areas. Next year I'm considering August instead of July for my trip, but if there really is a significant difference in crowds I'll stick to July.
So ... if you were in Europe this past month did you find the crowds terrible? Have you also traveled in July or other months so you can compare.

Were you in Europe in August? How crowded WAS it?
So all of you who were in Europe in August - how crowded was it where you were?
Report Abuse
Europe is kind of big. Can you narrow it down a little? Do you mean France, Lithuania, Bulgaria, Norway?
Report Abuse
I remember seeing you FOUR different times during my own July trip so next year I'm going in August so please stick to July, OK?
Report Abuse
I was there the whole month of August. It wasn't crowded at all in my neighbourhood. Most people were on holiday.
Report Abuse
I was in Europe during August. At our summer house, I saw one or two cars pass the house a day, I didn't see any humans except the farmer and his cows. At home, it was also quiet.
Report Abuse
I've been in Europe all August.
Tourist-driven cities like Verona were jam packed. Real cities like London were a good bit emptier than in May or October as always: summer tourists always amount to fewer people than the full-time residents or business visitors who jam the city's tubes, theatres and decent restaurants most of the year, but are off sunning themselves in August. My own microtown's been a tad busier than usual because of the staycation mini-boom.
No doubt it's the same in the poster's continent. Or does she live on a planet where it's possible to make meaningful generalisations about entire continents?

Obviously, it depends on where you are. Oxford was ridiculously crowded, Worcester, not so much. Even in Oxford, the crowds were concentrated in the center. (Read my TR for more.)

I've spent most of my holidays in France in july and now august. I changed from july to august when I started working in France.
On the french beach areas, the situation is :
July up to 14th : nobody
july 15 to july 31 : more and more people
August 1st to august 15th : jampacked
August 15th to august 22d : overjampacked
Last week of august : packed
In Paris :
july : less crowded, no more white collars
august : empty of French

I had a long weekend in Belgium, staying in Gent with daytrips to Brugge and Antwerpen. Brugge became unbearable after 10 am, with one coach party after another, meekly following their tour guide. Antwerpen had its normal shopping crowds. Gent was busy in its usual lively way.
And back home, it was quiet with half the city away for their holidays.
Report Abuse
I was at home in France all summer with the exception of a couple of weekend trips to other parts of France. July was busy. August was jammed. We went to St-Emilion one day in mid-August and it was almost impossible to move round, it was so busy. The tourist buses pervaded Les Eyzies in August. Next year we will rent our house out in August and take off for another continent. Even though tourism is down by a fair bit here in the Dordogne and our village is normally very quiet, I don't care to be around here for the August crush.
Report Abuse
I have been in Nice for over three months. July is usually less busy compared to August; however, because of the Euro football competition, July this year seemed very busy and August was very, very busy, despite the tragedy that occurred here.
Things on the beaches are getting better re crowding.
I had a couple of trips from Nice in August: one to the Lot region near Gourdon, to visit friends, and one to some small villages in the Var. Tourists were around; however, not unbearable.
Report Abuse
We were in Europe and UK for several months and August was the busiest for us. Euro 16 brought crowds to the parts of France we visited but it would be noticeable mostly on game days and didn't impact us negatively. Arriving in London at the first of August however, I was very surprised at the amount of very large tour groups there and also in Oxford. We had not traveled to UK for 10 years so perhaps this has been steadily building, but I found London to be the most crowded city I have visited in the past several years. Oxford was also, at times, uncomfortably crowded but our trip coincided with both degree ceremonies and the large number of foreign students who come for "summer at Oxford" programs. Once we were out of that area it was much better and we were also pleasantly surprised at how well Edinburgh handles their Fringe crowds - you can tell they've done this for a while!
Report Abuse
I was in Rhodes for August - I didn't find it too busy, certainly nothing like the hype. We did book early and found that even in January, some of our first choices for accommodation for August were already booked out. But when we got there, it was fine - while there were undoubtedly many holidaymakers, we didn't experience any overcrowding at beaches / restaurants, or queues for excursions / attractions.
Report Abuse
AtlTravelr - that's exactly why I asked actually. I was in London at the beginning of my trip this year for several days (mid week) at the end of June, and then again the last weekend in July. I saw a huge difference in the crowds especially at places like the southbank embankments. I wondered if the difference was due to an event (it was the bike race weekend, although I don't mean places where the actual bike race was), the fact that it was a weekend, or the fact that it was now almost August.
Thursdays - your trip report mentioned crowded roads in the English southwest coastal area. That's a place we are considering for next summer and one reason I'm asking this question is that I'd heard the roads there were 'jammed in August'. The things I've read did not say 'jammed in July' so I wondered if that meant there was actually a difference.
I purposely didn't 'narrow it down' because, while I have been for years, and plan to continue, to travel in Europe in summer I don't restrict myself to one or two countries, or even to specific areas (big cities vs country vs coast). So I'm interested in (and thought others might be as well) in seeing if the month of August was significantly different than the month of July, and if so where. A few years ago I was in Pugia in July and things were very quiet, several people told me the 'tourist season' was really just in August there. These are the kinds of things I'm looking for.
I'm from the US and I could tell you that for example the western National Parks are most crowded from mid-June through mid-August but then it slows down till September when it picks back up. So in that case last half of August is a good time to go.
Thanks to those of you who gave serious answers to the question.

isabel - one more comment/observation - we had several people in France tell us that some of the places we should visit would be packed in August. They were often referring to vacation spots that they would go to themselves, not necessarily Paris. And several of our English connections referred to August as "our summer" and how everyone was trying to get one last trip in before the end of the month. We did return to the states on the 25th but were in Europe last year for the last full week of August (Germany & Italy) and didn't find it badly crowded. I wouldn't rule out the latter part of the month.
Report Abuse
I would expect the SW UK to be crowded any time UK schools are out. This varies by district, but is roughly the last third of July plus all of August and maybe the beginning of September. Traffic will be worse around the weekend.
Report Abuse
We were in Budapest, Rotterdam, Krakow and Warsaw for 18 days spanning the end of July into August. There were crowds everywhere, but timing is the critical element. For instance, in Rotterdam there was a giant Caribbean festival/parade on a Saturday during our stay and on that day the city was "overjampacked" to steal a useful phrase. On the other days, it would just be the usual summer visitors. We arrived in Krakow at the conclusion of the International Day of Youth (?) and it was likewise very crowded.
Most tourist places were well attended as you might expect, so a little planning (obviously we don't always do enough of that - see Rotterdam above) goes a long way. Buy your Budapest Parliament tour tickets in advance for one good example. Having said that, there are simply times the places you want to visit and the time you are available to travel conspire against you and make you part of the teeming horde. Still better than being home. This thread, however, does a good job of helping folks use their personal travel flexibility to their best end.
Report Abuse
I was only there in July and it seemed the same as usual, as I often travel then.
However, I wanted to remark on your comment that you find hotel prices higher in August than July. I have never seen such a thing in Europe, prices in AUgust are usually cheaper, if anything. I have no idea where you are seeing this phenomenon, but perhaps it is some resort or beach area, that's the only place I can imagine that happening. It doesn't happen in cities as there is less business traffic, not a lot going on otherwise (like performing arts), and so hotels oftenlower their prices. I've often gotten cheaper rates in late July or August in big cities in all of Europe (Paris, London, Prague, etc.).
Report Abuse
In many parts of Italy, September and October are the busiest months.
In Rome, for example, the number of person-nights in hotels and other lodging is highest in October, followed by September, July, May, April, June, March, and August, in that order. August is in 8th place. It may not feel that way when you're packed in ten-deep at the Trevi Fountain on a sweaty afternoon in August, but it's been that way for some time. In fact, many hotels offer low-season or shoulder-season prices in August.
After August, come November, December, February, and January.
Here are the official statistics from the tourist office. You'll find the numbers I used in the last column of the table on page 9.

Last time I saw anything there were queues to get into Europe. Forming in Greece,Serbia etc

El Pais, the Spanish newspaper reported record number of tourists for their beach areas for the summer. It seems people are shunning beaches in other countries.
Report Abuse
Every time I've been to Europe in August it has been riddled with Europeans. . .
Oh, wait.

It all depends on where you go. Cities have less business travelers in summer, and locals go on holiday. This is mostly true for August. Therefore some areas are quiet; restaurants are often easier to book. However if you go to prime tourist sites, you'll probably find it busier.
You will find deals from hotels that usually cater to business travelers.
For resort areas and beaches it's completely different; since that is where the locals go. Hotels will be busy, and you cannot count on special deals. August is often busier than July. This is also true for the Belgian coast, when early July is still fairly quiet, particularly during the week. First two weeks of August are the busiest time of the year.
In the Netherland, on the other hand, many schools start again in the middle of August. Universities start the last week of August. It's back to school and business for many people from the middle of August.
Therefore, Isabel, it's not such an easy question to answer, without knowing where you plan to go.

I've been in France since mid August.
A couple of places on the north coast of Brittany were jam packed and horrible, but Finistere, and inland, were lovely, and not at all crowded. We are now in Vendee and because the weather is still so lovely, and it is a weekend it is a bit more crowded than we would like, but it is still easy to avoid the honey pots.
Mostly European tourists, with very few Americans/Canadians/etc. Scared off I guess, or preferring the big cities and obvious places.
My grandsons started back at school mid August, just as summer finally arrived in the Netherlands. Other areas of the Netherlands started school holidays later and so returned later.
Wending our way eastwards from now on I guess. Have to be home mid September.
Report Abuse
The responses here pretty much confirm what I been thinking - but of course as with everything "it depends".
In general August is more crowded than July (especially early July).
Coastal areas - especially 'resort' type, are more crowded than cities, which can be less crowded in August than at other times of the year (but the major tourist 'sites' within cities will be more crowded).
And sometimes things just make no sense at all. I looked at the link bvlenci posted about Rome hotel occupancy, which did show March being lower than July. Two years in a row I was in Rome in July (2014 and 2015) and stayed at the same hotel (Floris) for about €104/night. The March in between those two Julys I tried to book there and it was €175. I even emailed them to make sure it wasn't an error. I ended up staying at another hotel that March (2015) and the people there said that March was busier than July (no it was not Easter week). So just now, out of curiosity, I checked and next March (2017) the price at the Floris is €82/night.

Twice I ended up in Venice in August. It was crowded and hot but I loved it anyway.

I would expect the SW UK to be crowded any time UK schools are out. This varies by district, but is roughly the last third of July plus all of August and maybe the beginning of September. Traffic will be worse around the weekend.>>
IME that's partially correct Thursdays, but if you ignore the weekends, local travel in the SW can be easier in school hols as you don't have to contend with the dreaded school run, which adds a good ¾ hour each way to my all too regular trips from Cornwall to Plymouth. if you are travelling into or out of Cornwall/Devon on the M4/M5/A30 in July and August, Fridays and Saturdays should be avoided if at all possible. the weekends in the Easter hols and at the ends of the May and October half terms can get pretty manic too.
Otherwise most roads will be ok so long as you don't try to get into St Ives or Polperro or Looe or Mousehole in which case you will wish you hadn't.
The other times to avoid are when it's raining - then the towns are heaving and you will be very lucky to get parked which is a bit tough on those of us who are just trying to go to work!
Report Abuse
ann - but if you're on holiday, presumably you can avoid the school run? You might well still be eating breakfast during the morning run, no?
Report Abuse
ann - glad you saw this as one of the main reasons I started this thread is I'm trying to plan a trip for next summer, the focus of which is your area. In very preliminary planning I've come across statements such as "don't go in August" so I was hoping late June/early July would be better. I do want to go to St Ives, Looe, Mousehole! - are you saying I should forget the whole thing? (I think you're kidding, but maybe not). If you were a tourist wanting to see the southwest of England when would you go? Where would you go? If I go next year it has to be summer, but if that's really a terrible idea I could wait a few years till we retire and then could go another time. But this has been an area of England I've long wanted to visit so was really hoping it could work out sooner rather than later.
Report Abuse
DH and I visited Munich, Fussen, Innsbruck and Salzburg during the first 2 weeks of August. We never travel in August but DH was turning 60 and he wanted to do it in Germany. It was high season so of course it was more crowded and more expensive than usual but our trip was out of this world and I have no regrets. We never went any place that was so crowded that we said forget it, the lines are too long. If August is the best time to go then just go.

I was in Moscow and Berlin towards the end of July.

Thursdaysd - that's a good point, especially regarding the mornings. But IME the afternoons between about 3 and 4.30 are pretty bad in term time, and then that runs into the afternoon getting home from work rush-hour.
<<In very preliminary planning I've come across statements such as "don't go in August" so I was hoping late June/early July would be better.

Isabel - I am so sorry if I have put you off in any way. Definitely for the sort of trip you're thinking of late June/early July would be better than August when places like St ives and Mousehole are real tourist hotspots. The West Country as a whole is best when the children are at school because it is very popular with families though there's lots here for everyone, of course.
As for where to go, what do you like doing? how long have you got? do you like to stay in one or two places or to move on after a day or two? give me a few clues and I'll see what I can come up with.
Report Abuse
Thanks. I'm glad you feel late June/early July wouldn't be too terrible. I'm just in the very preliminary stages of planning but thinking about 5-7 nights (then will head north). We won't want to move every night so maybe two bases - can you suggest two villages that might make good bases? I like to 'see' places (and photograph them) but the three other people I'll be with like to hike and sit in pubs.
Report Abuse
isabel - you yourself have mentioned Looe, St Ives, and Mousehole. St Ives would make a good base for the north coast [plenty of walking and pubs, plus wonderful light for photography] and easy access to the far west of the southern coast including Mousehole.
For the south coast, I'm not so fond of Looe as a base though in truth I don't know it terribly well; I think that Fowey would be better. We spent two separate weeks' holiday there before we moved down here and found it an excellent place to stay. You can catch a boat across the estuary to the Polruan on the other side and there is loads of walking including the famous Hall Walk.
Slightly further west Falmouth is also a terrific place to stay and again, we stayed there for a week before we moved to Cornwall and there is loads to see and do - too much for a few days, but you can always come back. It is a great place for boat trips, garden visiting, and walking again of course.
Report Abuse
BTW, the end of June, beginning of July is pretty good time to visit Cornwall - not too much traffic and hopefully nice weather. The gardens will not be at their peak - that' happens between February and May - but there is still loads to see and do.
Report Abuse
Corfu in early May was fabulously void of cruise ship tourism (just one or two each day). A friend who visited in August (on a cruise) said it was horribly crowded; on their six hour stopover they only had time for Achilleion.
Heidelberg in mid-June found us with mild crowds, nothing unmanageable.
Hallstatt in late-June was jammed with day-trippers who thankfully left the lovely village to those of us staying overnight.
The Großglockner Alpine Road was mildly busy in mid-July on our weekend day drive, though more surprising was how crowded Krimml Falls was that same weekend.
August here in Vienna actually seemed a little quiet, comparatively. The HOHO buses were not filled, and we had no trouble sitting at favorite restaurants in the Inner Stadt on weekend nights.
Now, September...I spent the better part of the morning in the Inner Stadt today. The students are mostly gone, having been replaced with slow-moving tour gloms. Hopefully today is my last foray until Christmas market season.

New Cancer Council Victoria research released on the eve of Australia's world-first plain packaging legislation coming into effect has revealed one in four Victorian smokers still believe the health effects of smoking have been exaggerated.
The Perceptions about the health effects of smoking and passive smoking amongst Victorian adults, 2003-2011 report has also charted the success of Australia's graphic health warnings, which are set to more than double in size from tomorrow.
From tomorrow, all cigarettes in Australia must be sold in plain packaging and the size of the warning and graphic on the front of the pack will increase to 75% rather than the current 30%.
Quit Victoria Executive Director Fiona Sharkie said a quarter of current Victorian smokers in 2011 believed the dangers of smoking had been exaggerated, representing a significant decline since 2009.
"Graphic health warnings have been very successful in educating smokers about the harms of smoking but it's concerning that one in four smokers still believe the dangers of smoking have been exaggerated," she said.
"But from tomorrow, the outside of cigarette packaging will finally reflect the ugliness of what's inside and leave no smoker in any doubt of how deadly cigarettes are. The promise is in the pack."
The report also found:
Ms Sharkie said the larger graphic health warnings were already beginning to make an impact in terms of making smoking less appealing.
"While the main intent of plain packaging is to reduce the appeal of smoking among youth, we've already had several calls to the Quitline from smokers who say the graphic health warnings have pushed them to quit," she said.
VicHealth CEO Jerril Rechter said plain packaging was a historic step towards a smokefree generation.
"Other countries are already looking to follow Australia's lead and will be watching its implementation closely," she said.
"Australia's strong progress over time in tobacco control has resulted in Australia having among the lowest smoking rates in the world. This is something to be very proud of."
Cancer Council Victoria CEO Todd Harper said the tobacco industry would no longer be able to use cigarette packets as mini-billboards to spruik their deadly product, particularly in recruiting image-conscious young people.
"Now the industry's last major advertising vehicle is gone. Cigarette packs will finally reflect the grim reality of a life cut short by smoking," he said
"This major tobacco control reform is a vital step in reducing the desirability of a product that kills one in every two long-term users and causes 80-90% of lung cancers, Victoria's biggest cancer killer."

As stated in the previous post, both my passenger and driver side signals blink like crazy and neither of the bulbs are out. I've already taken my car into the dealership to get this fixed and they ended up replacing the whole headlight assembly on my passenger side. It worked for as long as it took to get on the highway from the dealership, which was about 2 minutes. Instead of going to the dealership again, I followed a separate set of directions from another NASIOC member that is pretty straightforward and included a picture guide for it.
Apparently, if you have messed up, twisted wiring like I did, it's a lot easier to go through the fender liner than removing the airbox or doing anything crazy on the driver's side like removing the battery. I started with the passenger side and tried removing the airbox first and well, that's a pain in the butt because of numerous things like loosening a bunch of things, prying tubing off clips and removing that bottom bolt that you need an extension for.
, open your hood and turn your wheel towards the inside of the side of the car you're working on. If you're working on the driver's side, turn the wheel towards the passenger side. Open the hood for visibility when you're getting into the wheel wells.
, remove the three retaining clips in the front portion of the fender liner and remove the larger retaining clip at the bottom of the car.
You will need a Philips and two flathead screwdrivers for this. Once they're loosened, just pop them off.
Once popped off, you can pull the fender liner away from the fender.
After you pull enough of the liner away from the fender, you can look inside and find the signal bulb socket. If yours was like mine, it would be all mashed up somewhere (especially on my passenger side), doing 360 degree loops and twisted a bunch.
, twist and unplug the bulb socket, make sure the bulb is properly seated in the socket, straighten the wires to the best of your ability, tug a bit to give it some slack and then put the bulb back into the socket.
, test the turn signal you just fixed. If it's still freaking out, then you might have an issue that is not described here (dead bulb, maybe?). If this fixes it, then success! Go get yourself a beer!
At last
, reassemble the fender liner and push the clips in.
Repeat these instructions for the other side, if your passenger side signal is freaking out.
Good luck!
I drove my car around for a good 20 miles or so after doing this and so far so good.

Item description for The Holy Spirit: Activating God's Power in Your Life by Billy Graham...Overview
A new edition of a classic work from one of the world's most famous authors and preachers examines the nature of the Holy Spirit, spellbindingly showing how this much misinterpreted part of the Trinity can make manifest the power of God. Reissue.
Publishers Description
Exciting, revolutionary power is available exclusively to you as a Christian . . .
It is the supernatural power:
You cannot buy this extraordinary power, nor can you find it by searching the earth for it. As a Christian it resides in you already, an awesome gift from God that you have only to claim and use once you know and accept its Source.
Christians are powerful people, Billy Graham reminds us in this inspiring and insightful book, because "we have the mighty power of God available to us through . . . the Holy Spirit," He comes to us with no conditions attached. Jesus simply said, "If I go, I will send Him to you."
With prayerful reverence and focused wisdom, Dr. Graham puts an understandable face on this mysterious third Person of the Trinity: The Holy Spirit is "not an impersonal force, like gravity or magnetism. He is a Person, with all the attributes of personality. But not only is He a Person, He is divine as well . . . . He comforts us. Guides us. Sanctifies us. He tells His servants what to preach. He directs missionaries where to go. He helps us in our infirmities. . ."
Read this amazing book and see anew how this Person can transform your life and give you the power "to be truly good" and "to live victoriously."

You Are the Experiment: Richard Kelly's The Box Has a Viral
by Alex Billington
October 29, 2009
If you've seen any of the TV spots for Richard Kelly's The Box, they all include the phrase "You are the experiment." What does it mean? Well, we're not entirely sure yet, but a new viral website has popped up: youaretheexperiment.com. Warner Bros is obviously not trying to cover it up (their info is at the bottom, as is a link to buy tickets), but it does have some interesting videos labeled Exhibit A, B, and C. If you watch the three of them, you'll notice that they are all about NASA's Viking program from the 1970's where they sent two space probes to Mars. What does Mars have to do with The Box? Another answer we don't know yet.
Beyond getting a sense of the 70's look that Richard Kelly is going for and hearing some of the score, I think there's something to be uncovered in these videos, hence why they're all labeled as Exhibits, like evidence in an ongoing investigation. But what does Mars have to do with The Box? Well, we already know that James Marsden's character Arthur Lewis works at NASA and from the trailer we know that he loses his job. But this movie is supposed to be about a mysterious guy who delivers a box to the Lewis family with a button that when pressed gives them a million dollars but kills someone else in the world. So how does this all connect?
Exhibit B has some footage of a weird structure dubbed the Lunar Landing Research Facility and at the end explains that it was destroyed by extreme weather that was manipulated by an "unknown entity." The plot thickens. The video labeled Exhibit C is all about the Advanced Research Lab at NASA, where Arthur works. It claims that the Mars project was, again, manipulated by some "unknown entity." Whenever I hear that I think alien, but that's a bit too creepy for me to even think about. Did they also design some spaceship? It talks about schematics and you can see a ship off to the side in a few shots. What the heck is going on?
I really don't know what's going on in these videos, but I can tell you it has certainly made me more excited to see The Box. I've been looking forward to this movie for a while because I know that with Richard Kelly it's always more than just a simple story, and that certainly seems to be the case here. And now I really want to know what is going on and what this is all about. Check out the viral website and let us know if you find any else on there, as there may be more to uncover in the next week.

Some of them simply speak about Satyalok, but they neither actually have the true Naam nor did anyone of them attain Satyalok. They are all only subservient to the mind (Mann), therefore they are entangled in only Sargun and Nirgun Bhaktis. The mind is very vicious, many famous Gurus and Seekers were trapped, in its web. In reality, through such inept Gurus and Seekers, the Jivatmas (souls) are disillusioned; therefore, the whole world is engaged in the business of false Naam:
KAL PURUSH (Nirakaar Niranjan)
PARAM PURUSH (Sahib)
He is not the Supreme Lord of the Souls. He himself is the 5th son of Param Purush, who came into existence from the word "Jyoti Niranjan".
He is immortal and truly is the Supreme Lord of the Souls. Each individual Soul is a part of Param Purush.
He is being worshiped as Ultimate GOD by the people of the world due to lack of true spiritual knowledge.
The real identity of Param Purush - Sahib is well known to the Perfect Spiritual Master (Satguru) only whose existence is beyond Nirakaar Niranjan.
His abode is "Shunya", which is the 5th element of the universe i.e. Sky (Vacuum) and is perishable at the time of great dissolution (Maha Parlay).
His abode is "Amarlok", which is immortal and exists beyond 5 elements i.e. Amarlok never comes under any dissolution.
He is present as "Mind" into every humans body.
Cosmic Mind of universe
He is present in the concentration (surti) of every human being.
The knowledge of "Vedas" is the creation of Niranjan (Kaal Purush).
The knowledge beyond "Vedas" (about Param Purush) can only be known from the Perfect Spiritual Master (Satguru). Of Sant Matt
He never disclosed the reality of Supreme Lord (Param Purush) to anyone in the universe (3 Lok's), not even to His own sons – Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh (Shiv). Or trinity Gods
His secret was initially disclosed and explained to the world by the Perfect Spiritual Master "Satguru Kabir Sahib", also regarded as "Sant Samrat Satguru Kabir Sahib".
All classical religions of the world are doing worship of Niranjan (Kaal Purush) in one form or the other.
He has no classification. He never created any religion.
He impetrate and created the universe (3 Lok's) with 5 elements into Shunya (vacuum) along with 84 Lakh classified bodies (species) including human beings.
He uttered five Words (Shabd): 1. Sohang, 2. Satt, 3. Jyoti Niranjan, 4. R-Rankar and 5. Onkaar. He advised Niranjan to create the universe alike Amarlok. He also warned Niranjan not to put any of His Souls into a physical body.
He created the bondage of Religions, Good Deeds (Punya Karmas), Evil Deeds (Paap Karmas), Castes, Rituals, Evils – Sex, Anger, Greed, Attachment, Ego etc for each individual soul.
He never gives pain or sorrow to any of the living beings. All souls are immortal and are part of Himself (Supreme Lord).
He incarnated as Gods and Goddesses to mislead the Souls from the path of true worship of Param Purush - Sahib.
He never incarnated as any Gods and Goddesses. He sends Sants- Satgurus to relese souls
He himself motivates each individual soul to kill and harm any of the living beings existing on earth.
He never authorised human beings to kill or harm any of the living beings on the earth.
His worship is the need of the Body (Maya) and Mind (Mann).
His true worship is the need of a Soul (Aatma).
Brahma (Generator), Vishnu (Operator), and Mahesh (Destroyer) are the three sons of Niranjan (father) & Aadi Shakti (mother). All are doing worship of Niranjan by considering him as Supreme God (Param Purush).
In this universe, the complete identity of both Param Purush and Kaal Purush is well known to a living Perfect Spiritual Master (Satguru) only.
Satguru is Master of Mind/Kal.
His realisation is possible by doing meditation onto any single word out of these five words: 1. Sohang, 2. Satt, 3. Jyoti Niranjan, 4. R-Rankar and 5. Onkaar (Aum), which all are located at their particular points into every human body.
His realisation is possible only with blessings of the Perfect Spiritual Master (Satguru), who blesses the Soul with the real Alive Holy-Name (Sajeevan Naam) through His concentration. Surati Yog.
His worship through the medium of Guru or Gods-Goddesses will bless Soul (Aatma) with Heaven (Swarg), Ancestral-Lok (Pitra Lok), Dev-Lok, Brahm-Lok, Paar-Brahm Lok, which all are temporary salvations, but the repeated cycle of birth and death continues.
His worship through the medium of Satguru will bless Soul (Hansa) to lead back to its real abode - Amarlok (4th Lok), which is indeed a permanent salvation from the endless cycle of birth and death.

are viewed as quite problematic, & highly upsetting to others in their particular society and culture?
sort by best latest
I can and will only speak about my own culture. It wouldn't be fair or right to speak about anyone else's.
1. They sometimes have a different way of looking at a situation and come up therefore with different answers. An Australian nurse once came up with a new way of dealing with children who had managed to survive polio. Her view was to exercise the muscles to get the dormant limbs moving again. The normal view of the medical profession at the time was to put the limbs into confinement. She was correct but it took a while for the medical profession to acknowledge this. Her methods took off in the USA where people were desperate for new answers. She upset a lot of doctors getting the results she got.
2. They have a hard time tolerating fools who cannot see what they can clearly see. This can earn them enemies.
3. They can arise from any strata of society. Bonaparte, the great military strategist, came from humble beginnings. His rise to power in France no doubt upset a lot of people.
4. They can set new standards in belief that not everyone in society can understand or tolerate. This was true of Martin Luther. Strangely enough, it was also true of Martin Luther King - especially when it came to his 'I have a dream...' speech.
5. They can make others think and that can be dangerous. One of the most dangerous books ever written was George Orwell's 1984.
6. They can literally change our world. The invention of movable type meant books could be made cheaply enough for ordinary people to be able to afford to buy and read. It also meant that pamphlets could be printed cheaply and quickly distributed to convey new ideas. The Protestant revolution would not have happened in the way that it did without the printing press and movable type. Now we have computers and the internet and communication and ideas flow and it is very difficult for any government to completely control this.
7. Sometimes we can expect too much from them and so when they fail they fail in a big way. Prime Minister Churchill it should be noted had as many great failures as he did successes but he will be mainly remembered for his successes.
8. They don't always realize the kind of power they can and sometimes do wield.
9. They are not always reasonable people though they do use reason.
10. They are not always understood in their life time but later on. William Blake, the poet, would be a good example of this.
You can help the HubPages community highlight top quality content by ranking this answer up or down.
Such people are reviled by the majority presently but in future times, they are revered for being forward thinkers. It is the VISIONARIES who MAKE HISTORY!
Oh yes. But, as pointed out, their mistakes can also loom huge even over time. Churchill will always be remembered for the Dardanelles campaign (WW1) which the Gallipoli landing was part of.

France From The Inside
France From The Inside: A Paris Day Trip Sure to Dazzle
by, 03-11-2016 at 05:14 AM (258 Views)
The elegant palace that inspired Versailles is less than an hour from Paris, by train or car. Le Vaux de Vicomte is a baroque masterpiece set in a breathtaking garden.
Paris is a glorious city, but sometimes it's a good idea to take a short break and head out to the countryside. Take a day to discover Le Vaux de Vicomte, one of the world's most beautiful places.
It is close to Paris, easy to get to, and hauntingly lovely. Spend the morning exploring the castle and gardens, have lunch at l'Ecureuil, the fine on-site restaurant, and stay late for a candlelight tour. It's possible to see everything and be back in Paris for a late supper.
History: An Ostentatious Grand Opening and A Jealous King
In 1658, Nicholas Fouquet, the finance minister of Louix XIV, hired architect Louis LeVau and painter/decorator Charles Le Brun to create an incredible masterpiece: The Chateau of Vaux le Vicomte. André LeNôtre, who seems to have designed every spectacular landscape in France, created the gardens.
Not long after the palace was completed, on August 17, 1661, Louis XIV, along with many of the most well-known aristocrats of the day, attended the opening celebration of Le Vaux de Vicomte. Fouquet and his wife put on a splashy party which set the standard for royal celebrations for the next few hundred years. There were promenades, spectacles, musicians, and exotic food and wine. Fireworks marked the close of the lavish celebration.
Although Fouquet was known as an intelligent man, he forgot a very important element when he planned his party: Humility. Louis XIV was tremendously jealous of Fourquet and his magnificent palace. He and his ministers decided that only the king should be permitted to have such an awe-inspiring home.
The King had Fouquet arrested three weeks later on trumped-up charges of embezzlement, and Fourquet spent the rest of his life in prison.
A Legacy for All the World
Fouquet's legacy is the splendid palace and grounds, which have remained nearly unchanged--thanks to several generations of caring owners, and the Association of the Friends of Le Vaux de Vicomte, which continues to restore and refurbish all the buildings on the estate. Instead of kings and queens, guests from all over the globe are welcome to explore the extensive gardens as well as the castle and stables. Summer brings candlelight festivals and classical music concerts.
Children adore Le Vaux de Vicomte because it is a castle right out of the pages of a fairy tale. When a child enters the castle, he or she is offered a little baroque costume to wear--perfect for playing lords and ladies, and a great photo opportunity. For older children, some of the great rooms show films of costumed men and women dancing together, displaying the fashions of the era.

When I converted to the church in 2008, I felt so welcome. Everybody went above and beyond to be friendly to me. I felt overwhelmed with how nice the members were. I was reading the Ensign a few nights ago and came across a part mentioning converts and to be nice to them. I started reflecting on my experience joining the church and how nice everybody was to me. I've seen some other people mention that it happened the same for them; the members were all very pleasant. I am glad that is the case for some, but I've also noticed
that some members didn't have that same experience. They had members that would simply introduce themselves and then "forget" that the convert existed. That's not how it should be! As a convert, here are the things that I enjoyed when I was new and things that will make a convert feel welcome and stay in the Church, besides giving them a calling ;)
Introduce yourself to them
It's hard learning everybody's names! It's also nice to know who is in charge in which department.
Talk to them! An introduction is nice, but a conversation is better.
When somebody introduces themselves it feels nice, but if they never talk to you again after that, it can feel bad. After you make the initial introduction, continue conversations, otherwise it seems like you may have only introduced yourself not to seem rude.
Sit by them in church, or church meetings
It's nice to have somebody to ask questions if something comes up that a convert is not familiar with (like stories that are specific to the Book of Mormon)
Invite them to lunch
It doesn't have to be fancy, it could even be fast food, but doing anything outside the church helps build a friendship
If they have children, invite them on a play date
Conversion doesn't just affect the person who converted. The children of converts struggle just as much as the converts. They are thrust into a new environment where the other children have been for months or years and know the doctrines being taught and the primary songs being sung. It can be overwhelming for the little ones.
Find something in common
Do they hike? Read? whatever it may be, use it to your advantage to get to know them. You will find that you may actually share more in common
Invite them to church activities
Newer members may not know about all of the activities. Let them know what the activities are about and invite them to come
Offer them a ride to church
Things happen, vehicles break down. They may be too nervous to ask for a ride, but if you offer them one they may accept. They may not even know who to ask for a ride if they need one!
Bring them a small gift (cookies, a bookmark, scripture pens, etc.)
It doesn't have to be anything big, but who doesn't like gifts? It makes the convert feel like they were thought about and matter.
Call them on the phone
A simple hello, and "how are you coping since the baptism?" is nice to hear.
Be a friend to them!
One of our recent discussions hit home with me. When a convert is investigating the church, their main contact is the missionaries. Once the missionaries leave, they can feel as if they are in a new place, with no one to turn to. Be a friend to them, so when the missionaries are transferred, they have a place to turn!
What have you done to make a convert feel welcome?
If you are a convert yourself, what made you feel welcome?
