And about losing a child. Never forget the lost twin, he was precious even if never saw the world!<br /><br />I lost my son just as he was coming into adulthood, and it hurts even nine years later. His younger brother has two little boys, both within the Autism spectrum. Their second child was a miscarriage, but they have not forgotten her.<br /><br />Life is precious, and we must remember that our children are truly a gift from God.Henry Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15406453326478697049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22797891.post-7047117074555678732010-08-16T16:13:10.343-05:002010-08-16T16:13:10.343-05:00Congratulations on Z's arrival and his move ho...Congratulations on Z's arrival and his move home.

Otherwise, I'll go to Costco and get one sometime next week. I'm either going to try to get a 19-20" for under $150 or try for a 22-23" for under $200.<br /><br />No CRTs!

Lemons are only within a certain time period (I think it depends on the state) and usually refers to cars.<br /><br />2. Friday is black friday. Take a look at the ads...hell check out the online deals. 24" wide screens are running pretty low. I haven't checked recently but I am sure you can get something similar to your original for under $150.<br /><br />I have a couple CRTs sitting in the garage. All you've got to do is stop by and pick it up...that's only a 9-11 hour drive, right?Nothing Knewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04189578823981780438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22797891.post-81130061815310106982009-11-18T21:02:08.876-05:002009-11-18T21:02:08.876-05:00ummm... you ok???

I'm going to feel badly when I cancel them, but it's not personal. We just don't watch movies fast enough to warrant keeping them.

I don't care since I make no money on it.<br /><br />On my "money making" <heavy sarcasm> blogs I usually only post the title, since the content is normally quite short. That makes people click through.<br /><br />I do have an experiment on one of them where I only use the adsense feed ads and allow the entire post to show in the feed. It is actually making more $$ than the website.<br /><br />I have about twice as many people reading that blog via the RSS than the site itself. What I really need to do is create a mobile optimized one but, since I got a job, who has the time?<br /><br />BTW, I have ~700 feeds in Google Reader. I might look at 30-40 of them in a day...some days I cull through another 100 just to see if I missed anything. Google's new "magic" sorting really helps with that.Nothing Knewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04189578823981780438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22797891.post-47493944653711328372009-10-26T13:35:15.945-05:002009-10-26T13:35:15.945-05:00RSS totally replaced my old list of bookmarks to v...RSS totally replaced my old list of bookmarks to visit - what a hassle that was!

The easiest way to have two Google accounts at one time is to use two different browsers.<br /><br />So, in order to handle all my different Google aliases, I run, at least once a week, seven different browsers; FF, Chrome, IE8, Flock, Safari, Opera, Sea Monkey.<br /><br />It may be overkill but it works for me.Nothing Knewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04189578823981780438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22797891.post-59232389242682096302009-10-13T16:46:58.358-05:002009-10-13T16:46:58.358-05:00AdBlock is the one reason I cannot move to Chrome ...AdBlock is the one reason I cannot move to Chrome yet.
