Systems analysts listen to the problem and then bring back a solution that makes everyone mad, of course!

Yep, Dads are very important, us good ones anyway. ;-)

My Dad wasn't a bad father. But he was absent from a lot of my growing up because of his alcoholism. I mean, he was in the home, but never really there.

I made a commitment a long time ago to try to do better than that for my boys. I screw a lot of stuff up but they ain't gettin' rid of me.

Sometimes Dads are jerks tho. And sometimes they just go away.

Right now Ruthy's girls don't realize how special their mom is to be taking on both roles. One day they will.

is that the one where they want mothers to put their infants on feeding schedules?

Yep, Dr. Laura calls it child abuse. We agree.

We had to feed Luke every two hours when he first came home. Then after he ate, we had to hold him upright for 30 minutes because of the reflux. He got his medicine between feedings.

So we spent the first year of his life basically taking turns holding him. "Growing Kids God's Way" woulda killed him.

Mm, yes, Ruthy's kids are in very good hands. They're not going to end up as statistics!

Sometimes I wonder where I'd be without my dad. It could have happened that way, he could have walked away but he didn't. All the time growing up people would say I was just like my father. Now I see what a compliment that was. I'm blessed to have two parents who are interested in seeing me well on my way. I've finally figured out how to spend time with my mother. And so, of course, I'm moving across the country.

Well ... yah-hey!

If somebody's happy with your solution, it's the wrong solution!

That was the second-youngest boy here... same problems as Luke, though less severe.

It's not just child abuse, wouldn't it really hurt a nursing mother to not nurse for such long periods of time?

That program's about as kooky as the "Bible-based vegetarian diet" I read about last week.

Absolutely! In that case, Installshield must be a wonderful tool. Ever had to fight that program? Ugh, someone ought to come up with a better. It hates me, I spend hours every week wrestling it into submission.

I love CS, it's this low-level stuff I hate. Test plans are the spawn of the devil, installs are horrible, finding out where the bloody database got loaded when all you've got is a command prompt and some rusty SQL...

"Bible-based vegetarian diet"

Yeah, that one's pretty much discredited starting with Cain and Abel...

Oh, I saw that goof with the "Eating God's Way" diet ... what a doofus! If he told me the sun rose in the east I'd check the current alignment of the Earth's magnetic core!

If Jesus ate meat, that's good enough for me.

You know, if they want to say the Mediterranean diet is kinda Biblically based, I could see that. It's more healthy than the processed crap we get in the US.

But claiming the Bible as a source for being vegetarian is clearly rewriting scripture.

Installshield is better than what we had before ...

And that's not saying much ...

The problems I've had with Installshield can all be traced back to the lack of decent documentation. In fact, most of the problems I've had with stuff like Installshield have been cured by third-party documentation.

Maybe what we need to teach programmers is how to write ...?

<laughing!>
