I have yet to see a big article on the anniversary of the death of Gene Roddenberry (founder of Star Trek) or Richard Harris (actor who played Dumbledore in the first two movies). If you're going to get all boo-hoo about people in a fictional world, at least be consistent and honor real people who made that world possi...more

Don't forget the GI Bill. My parents couldn't afford to send me to college, but 4 years working for Uncle Sam and a $1200 deposit is getting me my degree. Plus, I have a much greater sense of independence and responsibility than I did before, so I get more out of my classes.

Nancy - Amen!   BigNinja - Glad I could be of some help.

Bigninja - Go to http://zone.msn.com/en/root/badgealbumv1.htm, then up in the right hand corner should be "page".

Gardenscapes is easy and interesti...

MP, thanks again for the info. Sorry I missed it the first time. Loze, I commend you on putting your family before gaming. The gaming addiction is at least as difficult to overcome as alcohol or tobacco. Whether it's a hiatus or a complete cessation, I wish you and your family well. I know your computer will be lonely...
