Nova Development Corp makes it. I found mine at BestBuy - don't know what electronic stores you have in England, but surely you can find it in one. If not, bet you could purchase online. As I said, it does put all kinds of stuff on there that is completely useless to me, and I deleted a lot of it after installing, but I REALLY, REALLY like the text effects I can make with it.

I found it on Amazon and ordered it they had it on offer for just under 15.00 pounds plus postage (so with delivery cost about 30.00 dollars)

Thanks for your help

Hi everyone! Winston and I made the trip safely. It's like a ghost town here since school isn't in session.

[Billie]

WOW! That's a terrific price! I'm thinking it was $60 - 70 here when I bought mine a year or so ago, and it was the plain jane version - I didn't need the animation thingie because I already have an animated gif program.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I do; Aquamarine also purchased it after seeing what it could do with text and vignettes.

[snugs]

Dare I ask what do you use for GIFS?

Hey, TulipTree! Hey, Winston!

:)

Who is Winston I have it in my mind that it is a cat or a goldfish I know some difference but I am only a dumb English lass LOL

"...I have it in my mind that it is a cat or a goldfish I know some difference..."

Winston is Tulip's pet Betta (a fish). He travels with her for her six-hour trips up and down the state of Illinois, and boy are his fins tired!

The nosy neighbor looks over the fence and sees llittle Susy digging in the dirt, (in her back yard!)

"Hey there Susy, what'cha doing?"

"I'm burying my pet goldfish."

"That's a mighty big hole for just a goldfish, Susy."

"Yeah. Well, it's still inside your stupid cat!"

(Don't mess with little Susies!)

[tuliptree76]

Yep, Winston is my betta fish. I got him in January with some money that I recieved as a gift this past Christmas. He tolerates my travels so well, I'm hoping to reward him by using future Christmas money to get him a 10 gallon aquarium (he currently lives in a 2 gallon aquarium).

Oh...and Ritz is my cat, but he lives with my parents. So you were right about my pets. :-)

[snugs]

Does he like crackers? LOL

[tuliptree76]

LOL! No...He's the color of a Ritz cracker. :-)

[snugs]

I remember you posting pics of Winston either
here or on your profile page a while back.

[MeekOneGOP]

Yes, Winston is her pet fish. :)

Five-Finger Prayers

Read:
James 5:13-18

Pray for one another. -James 5:16

Bible In One Year: Proverbs 4-7

Prayer is a conversation with God, not a formula. Yet sometimes we might need to use a "method" to freshen up our prayer time. We can pray the Psalms or other Scriptures (such as The Lord's Prayer), or use the ACTS method (Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving, and Supplication). I recently came across this "Five-Finger Prayer" to use as a guide when praying for others:

• When you fold your hands, the thumb is nearest you. So begin by praying for those closest to you-your loved ones (Philippians 1:3-5).

• The index finger is the pointer. Pray for those who teach-Bible teachers and preachers, and those who teach children (1 Thessalonians 5:25).

• The next finger is the tallest. It reminds you to pray for those in authority over you-national and local leaders, and your supervisor at work (1 Timothy 2:1-2).

• The fourth finger is usually the weakest. Pray for those who are in trouble or who are suffering (James 5:13-16).

• Then comes your little finger. It reminds you of your smallness in relation to God's greatness. Ask Him to supply your needs (Philippians 4:6,19).

Whatever method you use, just talk with your Father. He wants to hear what's on your heart. -Anne Cetas

Our prayers ascend to heaven's throne
Regardless of the form we use;
Our Father always hears His own
Regardless of the words we choose. -D. De Haan

It's not the words we pray that matter, it's the condition of our heart.

Marconi mejoró los diseños de los receptores, y transmisores de radio, y desarrolló los primeros sistemas prácticos de comunicación de larga distancia por radio. En 1901, él fue el primero en enviar y recibir señales a través del mar, desde Newfoundland a Cornwall. El servicio comercial de teléfonos de radio estuvo disponible después de varios años, como resultado de sus primeros esfuerzos. En los años del 1930, la compañía de teléfonos Bell trataba de mejorar su servicio de telefonía transatlántica, cuando le asignaron a Karl Jansky la investigación de las fuentes de ruidos de radio, llevándole a su descubrimiento de las ondas de radio de la Vía Láctea.



Translation: Listen to your radio invented by Marconi while driving your pets Winston and Ritz home, then have your ice cream at Marconi's.

[tuliptree76]

Morning, Meek. :-)

Yep, pictures of Winston and Ritz are through a link on my profile.

[tuliptree76]

LOL! I hope Winston doesn't mind my singing. ;-)

Too bad we don't have a Marconi's here. I'm craving ice cream now. LOL!
