Trying again

Submitted by on

After losing everything from the computer in the move, I started to rebuild my address and contact file then the nine year old tower gave up the ghost taking everything with it. If anyone wants a laugh they should have been at the store when I told the guy that a few years ago I had my RAM increased to 800 and wanted at least that much on the new one. When he stopped choking with laughter he told me that two gigs was considered a minimum today. So now I'm learning this Windows 7 and a machine that seems to anticipate what I want to do before I do it.

Why in God's name does she do this?

Submitted by on

I joined YouTube recently and am having fun surfing all over the place. But one video popped up and, while well done, I cannot get it through my mind why a genetic girl as pretty as this one would voluntarily cover up like this. Mostly we hear it is 'forced' or a 'religious requirement' but she says it is by her own choice. When I think of how many would love to have and display (show off) a face such as hers it boggles my mind. If you are a member of YouTube just type in the search box: Niqab styles 1 and then please tell me WHY?
Cheers,
Anne

One Day

Submitted by on

I got sent this the other day by my friend Anne. Unusually for her she was reticent to post it; she is usually quite straightforward about such things. Knowing the bare outlines of what likely inspired it I was touched and slightly troubled. A close friend of hers is fighting breast cancer, hopefully to win as best she can.

This was inspired, if that's the word, by the waiting… in an anteroom of an oncology ward. A place where courage is simple, yet beyond what most, fortunately, will ever need to approach.

How true

First time I've used this blog thing so I hope I get it right. Earlier today I was watching a television documentary on the Ironman/woman races. One man had advanced ALS but he finished the 2 mile swim, a 120 mile bike ride and then a 26 mile marathon.
As he crossed the finish line he said his mantra was 'If you don't face your fears then you cannot live your dreams.'
