If you will look at my signature line, I POSTED THE FRIGGIN URL ALREADY SO GIVE IT A REST!

What a day. I got home and had two sets of homework to do. DD1 was being a pain so I just sent her away without finishing her reading and began with DD2. DD2 is okay with her homework but it is slow going and we had to get ready to go to soccer. DD1 finally apologized and finished her homework at DD2's soccer practice.

This was DD2's first night ever of soccer and - what can I say? She was a gazelle. That's right. While all the other girls were chasing after the ball, my DD2 was off grazing in a corner oblivious to all around her. She is hopeless. But since I already bought the shin guards, I guess we'll keep going.

We got home and each wanted a different kind of pasta for dinner. Go figure. So I made two pastas. Next bath time then milk time (one strawberry - one chocolate), tooth brushing time, bed time and then I get to have peace and quiet. Until...."Daddy! I can't sleep because I might have nightmares!".

I am really working with DD1 trying to teach her how to be a dream warrior. It takes time.

Norton search results


I don't know how to use Norton. I had to get rid of it and go with McAfee. The Symantec website should have a feature where it can scan your computer for you. That may find viruses that your local version of Norton can't find. I would do the remote scan first.

Geesh...Pio...just kidding...must have hit a nerve!

PEP....thanks for your poster...but it doesn't look like Pio appreciated your effort.



Thanks for the advice, Pio.... are you still mad at me, and if so, for how long?

When my children were younger, we heard John Archembault speak. So, maybe I didn't spell his name quite right. Anyway, he is a children's author. Wrote The Ghost Eye Tree and maybe Chicka Chicka Boom Boom. In his talk, attended by a number of children, he said the brain is an imagination factory. And it can imagine a number of things that fool us. Some of these fool us into being scared. He referred to them as 'foolies'

So, at my house, we never talked about monsters in the dark, we talked about foolies. And the foolies did not like pleasant places. Any place that smelled good was not a place where you would find a foolie. Therefore, air freshener became our 'foolie spray' and, if some child was not certain they could sleep well, I sprayed the room with air freshener.

Pio, I apologise. I'm sorry, it was mean. I just know how careful you have to be.

It's not a forum rule BTW, it's an unwritten board rule.

I feel better today and not so grumpy. I got a good email from DD from Athens and she sounds much perkier.

Good idea, Cinders. It may work for me. I have terrible nightmares.

Hola,

¿Qué onda?

Luna, the file with the .exe might be the trojan, meaning it's not one of your operative files. Have a look at your windows files in the my pc files, programs, windows files and look for it, see if it's attached to another file or alone, compare the name, etc. several trojan files go to that windows file by default. Don't worry too much about the X rate, if it's a Trojan it could be several kind of Trojans including cookies that help to mesure the frecuency with wich you use certain page or service.
Let Norton destroy the trojan. Also see in add, remove programs if a program has installed itself without your consent.

About the forum rules, I was refering to posting the url of another site, in this case dedicated to photograpy.

Pio and I have never exchange a mail.
I got a mail from Doug, the photographer of the site I posted the url and he thought I was someone different. I don't know if he sent a mail to Pio thinking it was him who posted his site.

I posted the url because I admire the work of this photographer very much and the pictures are breathtaking and because they are from Mexico and an area not well known.


Mission acomplished, it took me a week to finish the Tequila bottle. I'm not sure boyfriend would be proud of me. Fortunately there won't be anyother in two or three weeks.

I could use some ideas to celebrate BF birthday tomorrow been so far away. I have the Hallmark card ready and plan to call him early, what else do you think I could do being so far away?

Pio, I think it may be useful to find your EN, there must be there somewhere. I gave a try to what your need may be:

Honesty
SF (Pasionate)
Companionship
Admiration
domestic Support

Mine

Affection
Companionship
SF
Honesty
Domestic Support

Hi Luna,

Next time you buy anti-virus software, ditch Norton and McAfee and get AVG 7.1 by Grisoft. Far superior to the better known AV programs. Easy to use and effective. Cost is about $37 for a two year license. Grisoft also offers a free AV, but you get priority updates with the license version and it is cheap.

You may want to download the free version, update and run full system scan to see if it removes the Trojan. You will want to remove that Trojan asap.

Hi Luna,

You are in for a treat with SF. It is my favorite city to visit although not in the summer. Very beautiful and romantic. There's a saying that goes the coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in SF. The wind blow in from the cold Pacific and creates the big chill.

We stayed at a Ramada Inn a couple blocks south of the touristy Fisherman's Wharf area. It was decent and relatively inexpensive. As for some sights to see: Chinatown, Fisherman's Wharf, Lombard Street (crookiest street in the world), Alcatraz, Golden Gate bridge, Telegraph Hill, Ghirardelli Square (make the best chocolate in the US; Ghirardelli was an Italian immigrant <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />), cablecars and of course museums. Don't know how long you'll be there but if you have time, drive up to Napa valley and tour a couple of the wineries.

Below is a link to a useful touristo website. Enjoy your trip!

Sorry. I've just been on IM with DD for an hour.

IT WAS SO GOOD and has put me in a very good mood. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Hi larousse,

What does affection mean to you?

Jen,

DD is in Athens, Georgia?

Todd, DD is in Athens, Greece.

They leave for the States on Oct 2.

Surely, DD is going to the Athens. It is the pop music capital of the US.

I'm not sure if they're going to the south. They've given up the crossing USA by train idea and think they'll fly instead.

Anyway, it's Monday and the last day of my leave, beautiful day outside and I'd better not waste it by sitting at the computer.

Is Pio sulking?

Shhhhhhhhh Todd, you should not mention the T word unless you have your hair spray ready.

Affection can be expressed physically, verbally or by 'indirect actions', no ?

It's interesting to try to reach a definition about what affection is for me and how it's expressed and the effect it has on me.

When I feel someone has affection for me, in general someone I care for, my interactions with that person soften and I'm much more open to that person.
If BF expresses something in a as a matter of fact tone I can replay in the same tone but if he tosses in some affective words or say things on a more affective tone, I'm much more receptive to what he's saying and more careful to answer in a considerate, affective way.

Affection to me is like constant way to say that I care for BF and he cares for me in a way we don't care for other people. It's in his voice, his care and courtesy, his eyes and the physical contact. It may sound tiring but on the long run I think it comes naturally... I hope anyway.

Affection can be sometimes very sweet words and phrases but not necesarly sweet or overlysweet, lol. Just this particular lover language that express caring and complicity.

Physically in private, touches with or without sexual intentions. Neck kisses, holding each other for seconds just because. Small gestures like offering coffee to the other or tea, or a back rub.

In my case physical affectin makes SF more intime and rewarding. Like affection deposits during the day that in the night ignite the pasion. Lol.

What do you think are your main needs Todd?

On another note I was wondering where to put the need of respect, I thought that if I get all the other need filled I'm getting respect in several ways but I may be wrong.
