I took this photo near Sonora, Texas, on I-10, where the interstate cut through this mountain. The flag, flying so high above us, was just overwhelmingly beautiful!

[Billie]

Good morning! Does my face look like a little kid to you? Would you like yours to? If you missed this thread before, come have some Fun With Fonts and download lots of fun or formal fonts today!

[John Jorsett]

If you ever reformat the hard drive and start over again, you might consider doing what I do: buy a new hard drive and install on that, keeping the old one around to transfer the stuff from. I used to invariably forget something (like fonts) when I did it using the backup/restore method. Drives are pretty cheap these days, so it isn't too expensive.

Hi, John, thank you for that tip. Appreciate it! It's tough to lose stuff we've worked so long and hard to accumulate. :(

A FONT thread?????????

I must have died & gone to heaven!

My computer has always been loaded with fonts. I would buy the CDs & each program (photoshop, Hallmark, etc) I had seemed to have a ton. I can recall years ago when computers were "weaker" and "smaller" my brother & other computer geeks would give me a VERY hard time about how this was bad for the computer. Now I guess it is a non-issue. But they still give me a hard time. Why would any want anything besides Roman New Times & maybe Arial??? Looking forward to checking this out throughout the day

Hope you had a good weekend & are a little rested up. Been insane here (understatement) and Mom has been unbelievably difficult. When it rains it pours? oh yes it is also raining, my van broke down, My washing machine flooded all over, a kitchen pipe burst, my printer died, I burned up two good pans (had them on stove and forgot while I was working MUCHO hours on power point). The pans were very good, expensive ones. Now they are in garbage outside. Beyond help

Well, now that I have spread cheer all around here I will go kick the cat around a bit (JUST KIDDING EVERYONE)

. Actually life is very good. The problems are just minor in the big scheme of things. Annoying , yes, but with everything NOT working, there is a whole lot more that is working.. Refuse to let all that stuff warp me up today etc.

[DollyCali]

External hard drives are very good for that too John. I have three computers going & have two externals that I transfer back & forth.. all except for one computer which simply will NOT interface with it. All are XP & have adequate memory etc..just one of the GRRRR moments with computers

[Aeronaut]

Good morning Billie.

[lysie]

Good morning, Billie, Dolly...all.

[DollyCali]

Hi there ms Lysie. Just getting ready to download updates on spy programs.. and then tackle my kitchen.

have you been overwhelmed with German email? I had mentioned it last week. Lots of people at church were commenting on it on Sunday. I have a ton to do but do think I will take a dog walk with freind and his dogs to diffuse a bit sometime in late morning.

Laura Ingram is such fun to listen to..

later

[DollyCali]

Love HTML that shows the fonts.. i use various ones in email & many people have minimal fonts on their computer & of course they do not translate.. not sure what they see but i know it prolly isn't architecture; curlz; chiller etc..

Change The Word?

Read:
2 Timothy 3

All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable. -2 Timothy 3:16

Bible In One Year: Psalm 130-132

The Bible, God's written Word, changes lives. Its message of salvation makes the most profound change, of course, but Scripture can also change the way we treat others. It can provide a firm foundation for society with its clear teachings on institutions such as marriage, family, and the church.

But what happens when what the Bible clearly says-as understood for centuries by learned believers and scholars alike-is rejected? Those who reject its teachings try to change the Word.

Two Greek words can help explain this: eisegesis and exegesis. Eisegesis is the process of reading into a passage something that is not there-inserting a meaning that flows from a personal agenda. By contrast, exegesis means drawing from the passage the clearly intended meaning, using context, other Scripture passages on the same topic, and legitimate tools of understanding such as Bible commentaries.

Instead of trying to change God's Word to fit our own ideas, let's allow the Word to change us. As we read His Word and obey it, the Holy Spirit will transform us into the kind of people God wants us to be.

Don't change the Word-let it change you. -Dave Branon

The Lord has given man His Word,
His will He has made known;
Let man not try to change that Word
With words that are his own. -D. De Haan

The Bible-eternal truth and never-fading beauty.

Oh my gosh, Dolly - talk about black clouds hovering above. :( Bless your heart - I was just *tired* yesterday after the weekend....what a time you've been having. :( (yet still that sunny disposition!)

I love all the neat fonts, too, and it's never been easier to 'install' them than now - no CD's to buy or anything!

Can I help you? Know you're also trying to get some opening posts ready.

[MoJo2001]

 

Fonts! Fonts! Fonts!!
This is right up my alley!!

I'm a Fonts Fanatic!!
Ask anyone that knows me and they'll tell you that I'm obsessed over fonts.
Not because I need them or use that many. I just keep them around
just in case I would ever need it. Seems kind of foolish?
I have 2 DVD discs just burned with Fonts.
I love holiday fonts the best--especially Christmas and Easter fonts.
Absolutely fabulous!!
So? If you're in search of any new fonts, give me a holler! Hehe!!
Awesome thread!!

[MoJo2001]

Good morning Mayor!
Hope all is well!!
*HUGS*

[MoJo2001]

Good morning Aeronaut!!
*HUGS*
Great to see you!!
Say hello to Otto and Mrs. Aeronaut for me!!

[DollyCali]

I'll get back with you if I need help... and will be emailing you in a few minutes before I sign off about one item I would like. Thanks as usual you are so considerate & helpful. LOVE the fonts framing.. just beautiful. All so colorful & cheery. I just read a bit of ATRW & everyone there is POd & upset.. don't need to hang there today! Lots of good minds & info but I have found with my life usually so chaotic, I need to find places of joy & friendship without hassle.. makes life so much nicer.

Thanks for beautiful post/thread. I am sure the new folks will all love it & some of the old timers might want a refresher. I have found Fonts are a little like Star Wars.. either it is wow/exciting or yawn, think I will pass & maybe take a nap!!

lol

[SheLion]

Wow! Fonts!  I love Fonts!!!!

Thanks for the ping, Billie!!!

[John Jorsett]

External hard drives are very good for that too John.

That's generally what I do with my original hard drive when I'm reinstalling to a new drive: I put the old drive in a USB-connected external drive adapter. That way, copying my old data is pretty easy.

Good morning ALL. Off to my quilting guild on this day off.
