A special message from the Department of Troll Control, come and get it!

Fellow Americans, there comes a time every mans life when we must give up ourselves before we are worthy to recieve. There comes a time in this war on terror when in order to protect liberty, we have to give it up in the mean time for safty. That's right folks. Today, Americans have forsaken the creator for the creation and have decided that they would value our "civil liberties" than protecting western civilization and rich white people from the tender mercies of radical Islamic terrorists. Selfish liberals insist and whine that Bush has no right to spy on Americans and ban certain undesirables from using our airlines. They demand the right to criticize and blaspheeme the name of our supreme commander and cheef George W Bush while forcing multiculturalism down our throats and praising Bill Clinton. We all know however that it's totally Clintons fult for everything bad in america. Now we are at war and we must make a decision. support the safty of America and defeat terrorists, or support civil liberties and give victory to the enemy. Its all because of Bill Clinton and civil liberties that we are in this war so it is only fair that we give it up. no one said life was supposed to be fair you liberal crybabys. Dont give me that rubbish about equality and diversity. WE ARE AT WAR! If your not for Bush and against civil liberties your a terrorist! Your probably even a Communist and should be detained. Therefore fellow Americans we must throw all of our trust and resources behind George W Bush and behind this war with no ifs ands or buts. Be sure to report any and all detractors and freedom supporters to your local military and never question. Bush knows what hes doing and we will win this war once and for all. Thank you and May God bless America.

I hope your swimming event is outstanding!

I'm very fond of Lent, although not especially because of the music.

Thank you for the good wishes!

I prefer the Lenten music over the music for Advent/Christmas because it's so dark and moving. Just wonderful.

My favorite church Holy Day is Maundy Thursday. I like all of the others, but Maundy Thursday moves me more than all the rest combined.

Unless the remote computers need to join the domain or workgroup of the central computer, the subnet mask is irrelevant.

It's the only large issue, and we've found lots of houses with issues. Since he's fixing it, and we've stipulated it be inspected post-repair, I think it'll be fine. It's a great house, otherwise- 2100 sq. ft., 3BR, 2.5BA, .5 acre, rocking chair porch, close to the lake...

It sounds lovely....are you willing and able to post a picture link? I won't be offended if you can't/won't.

Sleep, I hope.

I was hoping to be doing that right now, since Vlad had stopped eating for a little while, but leaving Anoreth in charge proved to be a failure. I think she'll be having a nap this afternoon -- only being brain-dead with exhaustion excuses her sitting on the sofa watching TV while James walked around screaming.

Not precisely, but she wants to go outside in the afternoon to play with her friends, which she can't do if she's been declared Exhausted and sent to bed. Especially since she still has to do schoolwork once she's "recovered."

It's a little routine we have, where I say, "I'm sure you're not deliberately defying my instructions, because that would be Stupid. You must just be too tired to think straight. Have a nice rest ... turn in your CD player first, so you're not distracted ..."

I, of course, would spend most of my waking hours asleep, if I wasn't spending them feeding and changing Vlad :-).

You are soooooo SMOOTH! I'm gonna steal that approach for use with my little darlings.

Let's hope you'll get some real sleep this afternoon. I'll cross my fingers for you!

I'm off to Kinkos to fax the necessary forms for Primus' and Secundus' state-mandated standardized testing.

I'll probably check in again later this afternoon, but, if not, I hope that you all have wonderful weekends!

Oooooh! Double double to me. I want cake, DC! I'm willing to share, if necessary.

Have fun! We don't have to report our test results - just have them, in case the Division of Non-Public Education ever turns up on the doorstep ... unlikely, since I'm told they have only 5 inspectors for the whole state!

I got all the info I need from the one clinic, and know what shall need to be done at the other to set up a dedicated computer for this purpose.

thanks EVER so much for your help, brother - I owe you a case of brew.
