How the Elephant got his trunk « Result #1 on Mar 2, 2009, 12:22am »
Once upon a time, there was a sad elephant. He was dirty and stinky, because he could not reach to wash his back. All the other animals didn¡¯t play with him because he was smelly. Elephant sat under a tree, where nobody could see him. He started to cry. His head was hanging down, crying big tears. He sat and cried for days. One day, when his tears had dried up, he went to itch his head and he felt a bump on his back. Then he noticed his nose had stretched because it had got wet with all the crying and it was now a long trunk which had hit him on his back. He went to the river and got his trunk, put it in the water and sucked the water up. Then he sprayed his back with water. All the other animals came over to him and said ¡°you are so clean and smell so lovely. Do you want to play with us?¡± The elephant was so happy and said ¡°yes.¡±
Watching Me Go « Result #2 on Feb 18, 2009, 10:53pm »
The crayoned picture shows a first-grade boy with shoebox arms, stovepipe legs and tears squirting like melon seeds.wow power leveling, The carefully printed caption reads, "I am so sad." It is my son Brendan's drawing-journal entry for September 19. Brendan cried his first day of school, dissolving at his classroom door like a human bouillon cube. wow power leveling,The classroom jiggled with small faces, wet-combed hair, white Nikes and new backpacks. Something furry scuttled around in a big wire cage. Garden flowers rested on Mrs. Phillips's desk. Mrs. Phillips has halo status at our school. She is a kind, soft-spoken master of the six-year-old mind. But even she could not coax Brendan to a seat. Most kids sat eagerly awaiting thingy and Jane and two plus two. Not my Brendan. His eyes streamed, his nose ran and he clung to me like a snail on a strawberry. I plucked him off and escaped. It wasn't that Brendan didn't like school. He was the kid at the preschool Christmas concert who knew everyone's part and who performed "Jingle Bells" with operatic passion. Brendan just didn't like being apart from me. wow power leveling,We'd had some good times, he and I, in those preschool years. We played at the pool. We skated on quiet morning ice. We sampled half the treat tray at weekly neighbourhood coffee parties. Our time together wasn't exactly material for a picture book, but it was time together. And time moves differently for a child. Now in Grade 1, Brendan was faced with five hours of wondering what I was doing with my day. wow gold,Brendan always came home for lunch, the only one of his class not to eat at his desk. But once home, fed and hugged, a far-away look of longing would crease his gentle brow--he wanted to go back to school to play! So I walked him back, waited with him until he spotted someone he knew, then left. He told me once that he watched me until he couldn't see me anymore, so I always walked fast and never looked back. One day when I took Brendan back after lunch, he spied a friend, kissed me goodbye, and scampered right off. I went, feeling pleased for him, celebrating his new independence, his entry into the first-grade social loop. And I felt pleased for myself, a sense of well-being and accomplishment that I, too, had entered the mystic circle of parents whose children separated easily.
Then--I don't know why--I glanced back. And there he was.wow gold, The playground buzzed all around him, kids everywhere, and he stood, his chin tucked close, his body held small, his face intent but not sad, blowing me kisses. So brave, so unashamed, so completely loving, Brendan was watching me go.
No book on mothering could have prepared me for that quick, raw glimpse into my child's soul. My mind leaped 15 years ahead to him packing boxes and his dog grown old and him saying, "Dry up, Mom. It's not like I'm leaving the country." In my mind I tore up the card every mother signs saying she'll let her child go when he's ready. I looked
at my Brendan, wow gold,his shirt tucked in, every button done up, his toes just turned in a bit, and I though, "OK, you're six for me forever. Just try to grow up, I dare you." With a smile I had to really dig for, I blew him a kiss, turned and walked away.
Integrity of Hosts File Error « Result #3 on Jul 17, 2006, 9:42am »
I have been using the Hosts Manager software for a while. I use WXP Home SP2. A few weeks ago I started receiving the message Host Manager is unable to verify the integrity of my HOSTS file, etc. etc. everytime I open the Hosts Manager. I update the HOSTS file, but still receive the same message everytime the program is opened. It doesn't matter whether I access it from the IE Toolbar or the Start Menu.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software, locked the file attributes, checked the HOSTS file which does exist. I only have one backup and it is from June. When I install this backup the program works fine.
Can someone please tell me what I need to do to get rid of this annoying message?
New Web Site « Result #4 on Feb 18, 2006, 7:54pm »
Only part of it is up right now since I'm changing the look entirely If you want to have a fast look, click on the software banner on the main forum page and then you can navigate from there. For newsgroup posters...... for now just keep giving the old web site address. When I am ready it will just redirect. Unlike the old server, this one is not case sensitive in the address
I will be away again for awhile and I am taking the new site files with me to build the site and the next time I get access to the server I will just upload all of the new files. What this means is that the site will show no changes for quite a while and then all of a sudden you will see major changes. This is just a notification so I am locking the thread. If you have any comments you can start new threads. BTW when the site is complete there will also be a complete section about Linux. There will only be one access point to those pages and I am looking for a way to detect if the visitor is using a Linux system or not. If they are then I will try to take them directly to the Linux sub-site.
Other planned changes include hosting the forums on the same server (using ASP.NET and SQL) instead of where we are now. That means no more advertising like I have here. You may have already noticed but in case you haven't, there is now a Goggle search box at the bottom of these forum pages. Cheers people.
See how I trained the dumb human to sit under my feet.

Re: Geo Disk & Windows XP « Result #8 on Sept 21, 2005, 12:04am »
I'm sorry to report that Geodisk will absolutely not run on XP. I tested it on an XP Pro SP2 FAT32 install and XP Pro SP2 NTFS install. Running the setup.exe brings up a window stating that it will not run in NT.
