Why man shouldn't babysit
From my mailbox. This is funny but does not apply to every man. I have no qualms leaving my kids in my husband's care. I don't like doing that though because I am a "let's stick together" kind of wife.
=================================================================================
=================================================================================
I couldn't have said it any better!
From My InBox:
Life is too short to wake up with regrets.
So love the people who treat you right.
Forget about the one's who don't.
Believe everything happens for a reason.
If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands.
If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.
Friends are like balloons; once you let them go, you might not get them back.
Sometimes we get so busy with our own lives and problems that we may not even notice that we've let them fly away.
Sometimes we are so caught up in who's right and who's wrong that we forget what's right and wrong.
Sometimes we just don't realize what real friendship means until it is too late.

Nine Words Of the Female Language
The List Of Nine Words Of the Female Language That Men Need To Learn If They Wish To Survive.
Women have their own language. Men need to learn at least a part of this Foreign Tongue for survival. Every man alive on this planet should print the following list, memorize it, and keep it on their person at all times.
1. Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.
2. Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before doing some chore around the house.
3. Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with "nothing" usually end in "fine".
4. Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don't do it, or you will pay.
5. Loud Sigh: This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to # 3 for the meaning of nothing.)
6. That's Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. That's okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.
7. Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not question. Just say you're welcome. (I want to add in a clause here - This is true, unless she says "Thanks a lot" - that is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say "you're welcome" ... that will bring on a "whatever").
8. Whatever: Is a women's non-profane way of saying @#!&% YOU!
9. Don't worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking "What's wrong?" For the woman's response refer to # 3.
Send this link to the men you know, to warn them about arguments they can avoid if they remember the terminology.
Send this link to all the women you know to give them a good laugh, because they know it's true.

La Belleza Nocturna
I received this in my email and see that it was also posted on SlideShare.
What does the title "La Belleza Nocturna" means? I did a check on Babel Fish Translation and it translated the phrase to "The Nocturnal Beauty".
So, is "Un abrazo" the creator's name? No. It's direct translation is "A hug" but if you read what is posted on AskOxford, you will learn that it is an often used phrase in business correspondence and even in internal company memos or e–mails, where a friendly relationship exists between the parties.
Check out Database4Kids if you would like links to other online dictionaries that I have collected for my children.

Streamyx connection down again
My Streamyx connection is down again. This time it's because my children messed around with the password for dialing up the connection.
It is a good thing that I have my Service Acceptance Form on hand, since I am not able to dial up to check my write up on "To change password to your Streamyx connection"
I called the TMNet number, 1300-889515, which is printed on the form and was given a new password to dial up. Then I went through the steps I have written to change my password but this time, it did not work.
So, I called TMNet and these are the additional steps you can take if you cannot change your password online.
1) Click on "Start" then click on "Control Panel"
2) Select "Network Connection" and click on it once to highlight it (turns blue)
3) Press the shift and delete keys together to remove it.
4) Look at the "Network Taskbar" on the left of "Network Connection" and click on "Create new connection".
5) At "New Connection Wizard" click on the "Next" button.
6) Select "Connect to the Internet", then click on the "Next" button.
7) Select "Set up my connection manually", then click on the "Next" button.
8) Select "Connect using broadband connection that requires a user name and password", then click on the "Next" button.
9) Type in "Streamyx" for ISP Name, then click on the "Next" button.
10) Type in your (user name)@streamyx and type in your new password. The user name should be the one you have registered with Streamyx
11) Type in your new password again, then click on the "Next" button.
12) Click on the "Finish" button and a dial up box will appear.
13) Dial up using your new password and you are on.
So, the next time my kids mess up my connection, they know what they should do or else.....

Alzheimer's disease and dementia. Reduce risk.
I read on Wikipedia that playing board games, including Go can reduce risk of Alzheimer's disease and dementia.
If you are interested to learn how to play it, you can download a copy of an introduction to the game from American Go Association. There is also an Interactive Way To Go.
