Winxer,

As mentioned on the phone...you are not alone. The comments here show how you and your family are being supported in thought and prayers. You know we are all here to give you support.

Don't worry about the tears...let them flow. They are the Jeweled unspoken words of the Soul.

Way cool. They are neat when you find them. Way to go.

Don't even get me going on NCLB. What a joke. Pass the legislation. Force the schools to abide by it. But don't fund it. It was modeled after a Texas School District that later chose not to use it. What does that tell you on Bush's legacy on education.

Some may view nudges as a passive/aggressive way of letting a person know you are interested. Yet with the filtering system there are times it is the only way you can say "Just Say Hi".

I use Kapersky as my firewall and antivirus. Won't go into my feelings about Norton.

In the State of Arizona any one can carry a gun in the open as long as they have met state and federal requirements. That is one of the reasons few presidents and few presidential candidates ever visit more than the Phoenix area. Don't like the law...but it is the law. Still don't like going into a grocery and seeing some one packing a side arm. Though most folks are pretty wise about it.

Might try that. Their solution for using Kapersky is out of date. Know they want to reinforce the security...but please don't send out an upgrade until it works correctly.

Am having difficulty with Firefox access websites. It either takes a long time or get a "server not found" message. Anyone else having problems with 3.5.2?

Visine by the gallon

We do have the Freedom of Speech in this country. It is helpful to keep in mind that it does not include slander. With respects you have crossed a number of lines of good taste. Your comments are more inflammatory then honest criticism.

Winx,

I'm so sorry for your brother and all the people in Louisville. Been in some heavy rains...but nothing like that. My heart goes out to them all. CNN is showing it right now. WOW

MM, remember a GPS doesn't remind you about birthdays.

Another year...another birthday....Now the big 50.

Would tell you the first thing to go...but I forget.

Happy birthday my Friend.

There was a problem several years ago with some cordless phones making "phantom" 911 calls. For that reason many of the newer phones do not have 911 programed into them. Check your phone and see if the #1 is set to for 911.

Also if there has been a lot of lightning around lately it could mess up a cordless phone....even if you did not suffer a lightning strike. A surge or a drop in the voltage on the line could cause problems. Might want to call the phone company and have them check your outside line. They could have a problem.

OMG...when was that? Remember when "Gibby's" leg got broken by a line drive and he was out for awhile. His wife smoked and said she couldn't wait for him to start playing again because she was tired of "sneaking" cigs.

When did Stan & Biggie's close? I've been away too long.

How nice to see Stan "The Man" again. Enjoyed watching him play. Not to mention Lou Brook, Bob Gibbon, and the rest. Watched my first pro game at the 1st Busch Stadium (Sportsman Park). Oh the memories of St. Louis Baseball...the voice of Harry Carry and Jack Buck calling the games.

Remember that game. They put air conditioning in the dugouts after the game. Believe it was also the last All Star game that was played during the day.

Here in the desert that isn't always a problem. Especially if you have a 4X4. Then there are a number that are just off the road. Almost close enough to be a "park and cache".

Think there is more to this then is currently known. No doubt there is going to be a lot of speculation. Which is going to make it hard to tell fact from fiction.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Farrah Fawcett, the "Charlie's Angels" star whose feathered blond hair and dazzling smile made her one of the biggest sex symbols of the 1970s, died Thursday after battling cancer. She was 62.

The pop icon, who in the 1980s set aside the fantasy girl image to tackle serious roles, died shortly before 9:30 a.m. in a Santa Monica hospital, spokesman Paul Bloch said.

Ryan O'Neal, the longtime companion who had reunited with Fawcett as she fought a--l cancer, was at her side, along with close friend Alana Stewart, Bloch said.

"After a long and brave battle with cancer, our beloved Farrah has passed away," O'Neal said. "Although this is an extremely difficult time for her family and friends, we take comfort in the beautiful times that we shared with Farrah over the years and the knowledge that her life brought joy to so many people around the world."
