I think that computers have really come a very long way in the twenty plus years that I have been on earth. It is really amazing how far computers have come in such a short time. When I was born, the Internet was something that...

sysdexlicwriter I like to tell people in my generation that they should not worry about memory loss because in ages past people did not have to remember passwords for web sites and banking, etc. They did not have to remember phone numbers, addresses, pin numbers, social...

sysdexlicwriter I do not understand how people get so concerned about such things as a bottle. If we were more worried about our children telling the truth, loving them, reading to them, teaching them please and thank you (manners), etc. this would be a better world. In the...

sysdexlicwriter It depends on the government and the law. Sometimes things are marked pesticide free. In our little area we have farmer's markets where you get to know the farmers you are buying from. If they lie to you about using high-powered pesticides, they will sooner or...

I just added Microsoft Silverlight to my hotmail account and I am very very impressed. I was able to send over 30 pictures to cousins of my sister's recent wedding. It sure made it easy to send more than two pictures without zip...

sysdexlicwriter I was reading your post so fast that I did not see it. Sometimes I type so fast that my words are like my cat running through the house, the back end gets in front of the front end and the cat as my words get all mixed up.

sysdexlicwriter I know how you feel about seeing friends and family eating a certain way. My husband makes the most wonderful dishes that fill the house with such lovely aromas. Unfortunately, I usually cannot eat the high fat, carb, sugar treats that he fixes. I used to feel...

sysdexlicwriter If or when that happens, ask God to give you the wisdom to handle it the way He would. Do not pass your worries on to her. Many times we don't need to say a word but others can feel the tension. Sometimes a child like her shows others how to behave. It seems...

sysdexlicwriter I think the first answer is correct. I have heard it somewhere. It just made me laugh. One never knows what will happen when they have kids, especially if they are extremely creative and out-of-the-box.

sysdexlicwriter Here are some basic books that have helped me a lot with this sort of thing. I read this book some 17 years ago and it is definitely a life-changer. "The Confident Woman, Knowing Who Your Are in Christ" by Annabel Gillham. She was a Christian counselor and her...

sysdexlicwriter Whenever I have tried to put life in a box, I have noticed that something breaks and it is usually us. Children are fluid as we all are and we must always be observing to fit the time and the situation. It's a lot of work but what in life isn't, especially if...

sysdexlicwriter God says He will never leave us alone or forsake us. The lie from the pit of hell is that you are alone. God has shown me that He is there and He has been right there even when I thought He wasn't. I just could not see him. Now His love has been manifesting...

sysdexlicwriter Yes, she is. She has also been diagnosed as dyslexic. Thankfully we found something called "vision therapy" and both of us have gone through the program which has taken away most of the dyslexia. I have learned to never allow anything to hold us back in life....
