"...he needs someone to feed him."

Oh! That's right. I keep forgetting. He has no opposable thumbs.

Another reason he has to ride with you -- he can't hitch-hike.

Hi AC. Weekends are the best.

Did you fix your puter?

[JustAmy]

Sometimes I think all she does is eat. LOL

She has a very small breakfast at pre-school and then lunch at 10:45. Since she cannot wait all afternoon to eat, I usually give her a snack about 2:00. She is ready for dinner by 5:30. So tonight she had an additional snack; she thought the pot-roast smelled wonderful. She kept wanting to know when dinner would be ready.

She doesn't eat much but she eats all the time.

She likes to eat and she likes to help cook. I'm training her right. If she wants to eat, she needs to learn to cook. ;)

Hehehe. ;-)

Have a wonderful weekend too, deadhead. :-)

Did you fix your puter?

Well, sort of.

I installed ZoneAlarm for firewall and anti-virus protection, and it seems to be working great. The only problem is that something about the settings are keeping my Outlook from working, and I can't figure out what the problem is. It's not a big deal right now, since I can retrieve e-mail through my ISP's website.

This computer is almost five years old, so I'll probably ge replacing it this year. Some software runs a little slow on it.

[Victoria Delsoul]

You're probably right - you need to replace it.

[Alberta's Child]

The one positive side to that fiasco I had last year with the monitor is that it's only about a year old -- so I don't need to buy a new monitor.

The Storm Will Pass

Read:
Exodus 5:1-14,22-23

He who trusts in his own heart is a fool, but whoever walks wisely will be delivered. -Proverbs 28:26

Bible In One Year: Joshua 4-6

The local TV meteorologist occasionally points to a map and says something like this: "I'm afraid that things are going to get worse before they get better."

Such a forecast could very well have applied to Israel when God sent Moses to free His people from slavery in Egypt. The barometer of events was falling rapidly, and the dark, ominous sky of oppression would soon break forth into a churning, flashing storm of cruelty unleashed by Pharaoh.

Moses had appealed to Pharaoh to let the Hebrews go into the desert to worship God, but the king accused them of loafing on the job (Exodus 5:1,17). So he multiplied their workload, and the situation went from bad to horrible (v.18). Moses cried out in bitterness to the Lord for an explanation (vv.22-23). He found it hard to believe that a glorious exodus could be just around the corner.

The plans of the Lord were not being frustrated, however. Before conditions would get better for His children, God tested them by allowing their suffering to increase.

Even when we are obedient to the Lord, the skies of adversity may not always clear immediately. Circumstances may get worse before they improve. But praise God, His grace will sustain us, and the storm will pass. -Mart De Haan

Have faith in God, the sun will shine,
Though dark your path may be today;
His love has planned your way and mine,
Have faith in God, have faith alway. -Anon.

It's always darkest before the dawn.

Lost In Macy's

I got lost in Macy’s,
So I went to the Lost and Found.
I thought I could be found in there,
But no one was around.

I sat down to wait a bit,
Among things that people lose,
I snuggled down in soft stuffed toys,
And took a little snooze.

Later, when I woke myself,
The store had gotten dark.
I have to say it had me scared!
Like a cemetery park.

I sneaked off then to the bathroom,
And kept my head down low.
The mannequins were scary, still,
Their shadows made a show.

I couldn’t figure why my folks,
Just chose to leave me there.
Weren’t they worried about me?
Didn’t they even care?

I knew that I would find them,
They wouldn’t travel far.
Although they had my money,
I had to drive the car.
