After capturing the claret jug, Rory McIlroy promised to drink "everything and anything" out of the oldest trophy in golf.
A Rory runaway wasn't great news for ratings.
It's officially been a while since we've had any real drama down the stretch at a major championship.
Perhaps it's appropriate that Rory McIlroy has curly hair, for like the little girl with the curl, when McIlory is good, he is very, very good.
HOYLAKE, England – The third round of the Open Championship is off to a predictably gray and soggy start, with tee times pushed up more than four hours in an attempt to complete 54 holes by Sunday

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I ordered this for the reception at our destination wedding and it is beautiful! Also, they put directions from the ceremony to reception on the back for no extra charge! We ordered the blue border with Orange coral, a little worried it would look too colorful, but the blue is Very subtle. The card stock it was printed on, I chose no gloss, looks very classy."
"We used the Cabernet color for our fall wedding invitations. I love that they appear incredibly expensive without breaking the bank. The paper stock is exceptional, and I love the texture of the cards - it's classy and timeless without being stuffy. I have friends who have paid out their eyes for custom invitations at a printer who were unhappy with the results, had multiple issues along the way, etc... not us! We customized text, changed the fonts and sizes, and altered spacing to put more information on the front. The design team at WPD was there 100% and seemed to intuitively know what we wanted to accomplish. My mother, who was initially skeptical about using an online service for wedding invitations, cannot resist pulling our invitations out to look at them. These invitations are elegant and incredibly impressive - I can't wait for our guests to receive them! The pictures truly don't do them justice."
"Personalization of text worked great, we were able to change more than just the names and information, we could change actual text in the edit section. Even if the text didn't fit in the space allotted, WPD editors quickly made adjustments and sent digital proofs in a very timely manner. Delivery was even a day earlier than predicted! Product is very high quality, thick card stock with beautiful designs and writing. Perfect look for what we were going for!"
"I love this card--and the whole set. The best part was working with wedding paper divas. The sample they sent was great, as they included a sample card of the other colors on the same cardstock. So I was able to know what my "custom" color would look like. love weddingpaperdivas!"
"I ordered this reception card with a customized text box requesting electronic RSVP and directions to my wedding website, and the special proof came quickly and the one edit I had was made that same day! It was so easy working with the customer service and the graphic designer, and the card turned out beautifully! I cannot wait to send them out and show them off to my friends and family!"

Coconut oil frosting tastes very much like a buttercream frosting - very sweet and creamy and loaded with powdered sugar! It will taste a little like coconut, too - but it's not overpowering.
It's perfect on my carrot cake, too - you should give it a go!
- 1/4 cup unrefined (virgin) coconut oil
- 16 oz powdered sugar
- 4-6 tablespoons coconut or soy milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- "cream" the coconut oil until it breaks up and gets nice and smooth
- add in 1/4 of the powdered sugar, the vanilla and 2 tablespoons of soy milk
- mix together until nice and smooth
- keep adding powdered sugar along with tablespoons of soy milk as needed until everything is combined - you don't want any clumps of powdered sugar or coconut oil.
- frost everything in the vicinity
Thanks for the recipe. It was an inspiration! It's easier to use oil than softened butter. I basically followed your ingredients list & proportioned them till I thought they look icing. I googled the possibility of this recipe & was glad to see it was out there.
First I put in the powdered sugar & added cocoa. Then I spooned in some oil, added the vanilla, milk & just kept checking for desired consistency. I substituted the soy milk with almond milk. My little one loved it!
This frosting tasted nice but was way too thin - I would call it a glaze rather than a frosting or icing. Also, I found the coconut oil made it look almost gritty (though it tasted smooth) so I didn't end up using it, as I needed them for a friend's birthday at work and was looking for more of a "neat" look. I would make this again if I needed a glaze for a cake though, the coconut oil gave it a nice light coconut taste.
Absolutely SUPER!!! One suggestion I have for new folks. If you're making this in the summertime, put your coconut oil in the fridge beforehand to get it solid. Not ROCK hard, but NOT LIQUID. My first batch was a flop, then my chef friend explained why. You cannot use melted butter/margerine or any liquid oil. It must be a solid for the correct chemical reaction to happen, and then "cream" it, as step #1 says. 2nd time was a SUCCESS! Thank you! <3
I made this an added cocoa powered for the icing to top off my gluten free chocolate cake...delish!
I stirred too. searched everywhere for the glaze. Good straight to the point recipe glaze
I made this to top a coconut pie. http://www.instructables.com/id/coconut-pie/ I forgot to take pictures, but it turned out great! Thanks for the structable.
Try a tablespoon of honey for flavoring and it's amazing! My husband threatened to eat the whole bowl before I could frost a cake. heh

Alom Shaha is a British–Bangladeshi film-maker, science writer and unabashed atheist. In The Young Atheist's Handbook, he argues that regardless of the strictness of the traditions you are raised in, it's possible to live a compassionate, fulfilling, and meaningful life without God. Prepare to have your expectations challenged as Shaha explains how atheists can break free from inherited beliefs and decide for themselves what to believe and who to be. In conversation with John Safran.
Alom Shaha was born in Bangladesh but grew up in London. A teacher, science writer, and film-maker, he has spent most of his professional life trying to share his passion for science and education with the public.
John Safran first hit TV screens in 1997, shooting and presenting 10 hilarious mini-documentaries for Race Around the World (ABC).

on November 3, 2011I was only half-watching Letterman last night when on came Condi Rice, my favorite former incompetent National Security Advisor, to plug her new book. Dave took her through, as you see above, her perceptions of awful events of September 11, 2001. Everyone was really shocked, Condi then told him (conveniently not available in the video above), and you have to remember that this was the first attack on our territory since the War of 1812.
Wait. What?
That woke me up.
I'm really sick of the constant disrespect being shown to Hawaii, a lovely place I hope to visit on the company's dime one day. We went to an awful lot of expense and bother to steal it in the first place. Now, we have a president who was born there, and Hawaii somehow is so lovely that it doesn't count. Condi Rice starts counting up attacks on "our territory" and, again, Hawaii doesn't count.
It makes you wonder why Don Ho didn't pick up a machete long ago.

COMPLETE edition of the interactive "choose next panel" comic
3.95 / 5.00 5,472 ViewsHere it is! A shooter! Not the planned one, but that file broke comepletely.
This is 11 levels or so long, and ZIM has been captured by the Swollen Eyeball network. He must escape! It's up to you to help him!
If you liked this,submit it to "Action Games" collection.
ZIM now turns and stops on a dime! GIR is smarter (so he matches his IQ in the show), and I have sound clips from the show. On level 4/5, you unlock the doom song, witch goes great with the eerie backgound music... Yes, the update is here!
Now, there are no laser or exploding sounds because they overload it.
Bonus point for innovation, but very hard to control (too hard - annoying). Cool arcade-style idea though. One last thing: Zim wouldn't say "anyways". ;)
its ok but needs a lot of work
Needs some serious work
It's a good concept, but it is not a good game. With quite a bit of work, you should be able to turn this game into something great. I would suggest adding in the ability to change controls. For example, changing shoot from Left Click to Space Bar, or changing Left/Up/Right/Down to A/W/D/S.
Zim seems to turn to slowly. An enemy would be behind a wall, and I would need to get shot once or twice before I could even turn to retaliate.
Hm. I was planning on updating this over a year ago. I should really get around to it!
and zim still rocks
i liked it it seems old but nice kind or repetative but you know it had a certain feel to it i hated the controls click and use the arrow keys yeah that didnt work for me
Yeah, yeah, I know, I know...

I know the S&W 340CT comes with a laser, but I have never heard of a gun with a laser & Light installed.
Is there such a thing, if so please explain. THanks.

Ok this is a seedling, I planted the seed last year, and it bloomed this year (I always like that - a little bonus). The parentage is unknown for the pollen but the pod is from a boutique hybridizer that doesn't register... (I like to buy from smaller gardens when on vacation or working in a different state.... I buy whats blooming or what the person is most proud of) Anyway, this is the first bloom ever, I'm not too quick to judge it so soon.... for example its missing a sepal. I will give it a couple of years to see how it goes. But it has these little "warts" near the mid rib on on petal and one sepal. Is this caused environmentally or is that an odd genetic? I've never had blooms with these. Is it common? (breeding with quite a few from boutique gardens is tricky.... since many are unregistered I often don't have a good idea of lineage.) |

the next bloom had the same "warts". I'm starting to think genetic. |

Shoot-out in Paris metro after robber targets gold coin shop
Published on Jul 20, 2014 1:17 AM
PARIS (AFP) - A robber smashed into a rare coin dealership in central Paris on Saturday, made off with two trays of gold pieces and then staged a shoot-out in a crowded metro station before being wounded and nabbed by police.
Coin dealer Claude Burgan said he had been opening his shop after lunch when he was shoved to the ground and hit in the head by a thief who pushed his way in.
Burgan, his head and shirt still wet with blood following the incident, told AFP he managed to lock the thief in the boutique.
"To escape he had to shoot at least twice into the glass window. He left with two trays of gold pieces worth about 100,000 euros", said Burgan, standing on shards of glass outside the boutique.

Over the summer, a U.K. journalist asked the Trustwave SpiderLabs team to target her with an online attack. You might remember that we did the same in 2013 by setting our sites on a U.S.-based reporter.
This scenario, however, would differ from the first. The reporter, Sophie, was our only target. Co-workers, company or family were off limits. Sophie wrote about the experience from her perspective here. Below, we'll tell the story from the perspective of Trustwave SpiderLabs, playing the role of "theoretical" attacker.

My husband and I are interested in geothermal heat pumps for our home in Boston, but I'm not sure that this is an option given that we live near the end of a very narrow dead end street in Boston. What kind of machines are needed to dig the trenches and how big are they? I'm not even sure that they could be brought to our backyard--or even if our small backyard is large enough to accommodate the piping. Would someone be able to give me a basic idea of how these systems are installed? Many thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Your best bet is to ask your contractor as to whether he can get his equipment in there. Unless you have a very large lot, you will have little choice but to drill vertical bore holes. This could be done on a relatively small lot, preferably in or near the front of your home. I would also imagine that if they can get a garbage truck in front of your house that they could get a drill rig in there too. Holes could be drilled either in a front or side yard or driveway. There's almost always a way. Let us know how you make out. SR |

I worked at United BioSource full-time (more than 5 years)
ProsI worked in the Operations side of the house (HR, Finance, IT, Facilities) for many years and survived multiple acquisitions. There are a number of dedicated, smart and talented people there who care about the quality of their performance. These are the people that helped me keep my sanity.
ConsUnfortunately, the cons FAR out-weigh the pros. Many of the Sr leadership have left the company, some due to the chaos and nonsense being owned by a Fortune 25 corporation has introduced. Other key personnel have left because Sr leadership have left. The environment is draining, constantly chaotic and unpleasant because most people are unhappy working there. Many of the remaining Sr leadership within UBC, I feel, are shortsighted and do not demonstrate appreciation for the people that keep the business running. Employees are very often forced to figure out how to increasingly produce more and more, with less and less resources.
During the time of my employment, I was not unhappy with my compensation. However, once I started learning about the marketplace for my skills, I found that I was being underpaid. Health insurance quality has steadily dwindled, in terms of price for value. Options for 401k investing are unusually poor.
Overall, I felt like the big guy was constantly looking for new ways to take advantage of the little guy.Advice to ManagementAdviceStop and take a step back. Reevaluate your strategic thinking and consider how your decisions affect the employees' ability and desire to do their jobs well. The job market is not what it was in 2009-2012, and talented employees do not have to settle for mediocre-at-best employment.

So far, our favorite thing about this long-term Ram is its ability to let us live out our fantasies of being firemen and blasting down city streets in an oversize red truck. Everything about the Ram is huge and we love it.
Yet, there'll always be gripes, and one of our biggest is the 5.9-liter's lack of power and poor fuel efficiency. Now that we've driven and tested Dodge's new 5.7-liter Hemi motor, we wish we could magically swap the more powerful and efficient Hemi for the 5.9-liter. Even so, a recent tow trip demonstrated the Ram's ability to pull a car trailer, topped with a 3330-pound Bronco II, with little fanfare.
Other complaints stem from the truck's excessive jounce over concrete freeways when the bed is empty or slightly loaded.
We are thankful for a full-size back seat (rather than an extended cab), but have noticed that the seatbacks don't provide much upper back or head support and are rather uncomfortable on long drives.
The Ram's odometer has rounded the 7500 mark, thus earning it a trip to the dealer for an oil change and tire rotation. Other than that, the truck has been completely problem-free and more than up to the tasks we demand of it.

I heard about this product from watching Jaclyn Hills youtube channel, while I love her I'm not sure what I think of this product. I've only had it for a week and so far I'm not impressed. I hate the pot container for one, the smell is whatever but it did absolutely nothing for my dry peeling nose and skin. I was looking for something to get me thought the harsh Chicago winters and unfortunately I don't think this product will safice. It's not worth the price, will be taking it back to sephora.
I approached this product w/ caution because Jojoba oil is high on the ingredient list. Very glad I tried it, because it's an excellent moisturizer.
For anyone who worries about clogged pores from mineral oil rich moisturizers (Vaseline, EltaMD Intense) this is a good option. When my skin just needs a BREAK from heavy creams this works.
If you're using a harsh acne-fighting product (BP or Rx), this can be paired with it -- my skin isn't so dull and rough despite my anti bacterial regimen. And if you're acne-prone, you know how impossible it is to find and trust a moisturizer. My skin's sensitivity justifies the price, and always catch it during a Sephora sale.

Received sample from sephora, totally worth the splurge to buy full size! I have really sensitive dry skin, and this leaves it soft, hydrated and flawless. Somehow this manages to clear my pores and get rid of dry spots. Only downside is the smell (strong) and I wish it came in a pump or squeeze bottle. Otherwise, I'll use this for the rest of my life.

I love this moisturizer. My skin has drastically changed since using it. I'm currently living in northern canada, and the winters are made of your worst nightmares. My skin went from oily to severely dry. This product has turned it around. I'm not oily again, but I am well hydrated. All of the redness and flakes have completely gone away. Highly recommended.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Love this cream! Good enough for Canadian winters and not too greasy for summer. No more flaky dry skin for me while using this! I wish it came in a tube rather than a jar, it would be more hygienic and the product would last longer. My only concern with this is that I went to Greece last month and went to buy this (hoping it would be cheaper) but they no longer sell this in Greece as they no longer manufacture this product they told me over and over again. So I went home and looked at the box my cream came in from sephora which i kept, and saw a date printed on it that said 2012! Was I sold old/expired product? If so, thats not cool, and if they no longer manufacture this, how much longer will i be able to buy this at sephora? I ended up buying the Korres Watercress Ultra nourishing & moisturizing cream in Greece as per the sales associate's advice since they didnt have the yoghurt line in Greece. The expiry date on the box of that cream is 2 years from now so I know its fresh.

I stumbled on this when I was pregnant and looking for a night cream without any dangerous ingredients like retinol. I got the package at Sephora that also came with a small tube of the yoghurt moisturizer and the cleanser. I couldn't believe that not only did it balance out the oil in my oily but dehydrated skin but it also cleared up all the hormonal acne I was getting in my first trimester. I was able to cut out pretty much all the other skin care potions/serums/masks I was using and stick with just the yoghurt overnight facial (I used the moisturizer during the day until the small tube ran out).
The jar has lasted me almost seven months, although I feel the efficacy has declined recently. This isn't surprising as it lacks most of those nasty chemical preservatives that a lot of products use, but I wish it would come in a smaller, cheaper container that I could just buy more frequently. I also wish it would come in a tube rather than a jar.
I just ran out and opted to replace it with the moisturizing cream instead of the sleeping facial because I want one product I can use day and night, and the facial is too heavy for me for daytime use. But I'll probably end up buying it again this winter when my skin gets slightly dryer.

I got this as a deluxe sample at Sephora. I have oily skin so I wasn't so excited about a heavy moisturizing product - until I read the "glowing" reviews here.
Although my skin is oily, I do like the idea of moisturising heavily at night. My skin still needs hydration, right? Especially if I've used an exfoliator (you have to nourish the new skin cells well).
Having said that, it's so difficult to find a product that doesn't break me out but this is it! Firstly, it absorbs easily and leaves your skin soothed and super soft like.... souffle? It looks a tad greasy but you're going to sleep so who cares? And your skin looks wonderful in the morning, and comfortable and blemish free. If this product was more easily available to me, cheaper, and I had super dry skin where moisturisation was a priority, I would keep buying this. The little sample bottle I got will last me a while though. But if I needed a nighttime moisturiser, this would be it.

A limitless pricey but live this product, very moisturizing without being greasy, first tried it in a sample from sephora and had to get the full size. Leaves the skin feeling completely rejuvenated, just like baby skin
My HG moisturizer! I have extremely dry skin and it's so hard to find something that hydrates deep and doesn't break me out. The packaging is ideal and I wake up with baby soft skin. I love it!
This is my HG. I have suffered from horrible acne, but I found that Korres' products are truly great and seem to work well with my skin when I have a regimented and balanced lifestyle. Ofcourse, I'm not using this as blemish treatment- but to even out my skintone and get rid of pick-scarring. And so far- this has been amazing. I'm glad I haven't needed to revert to damaging acids to help my skin. The results aren't dramatic, but this has definately brought my skin back to youthfullness after a stressful time in college. Highly recommended.

Petition Against Locum Work Wear
Boots Opticians would like everyone to feel good when they come to work. But I'm sure you would agree most of us would find it difficult to 'feel good' in the new work wear.
We don't believe wearing the uniform would impact on the patients journey other than to add to the patients confusion as DO's, Student DO's and Pre Regs all wear the same uniform.
To top it off we are expected to pay for the privilege.
Please add your name to the list and forward so we can help to reverse this decision.
not only do they cancel you after you book a locum date now they want us to pay for a uniform which we may never use as they cancel the booking?!!?
michael s daniels
Yet another example of the boots company applying the "divide and rule principle" in order to deliberately create conflict within the ranks of professional and unqualified/unregistered personnel-with a view to bringing all staff members down to the lowest common denominator and hence emasculating any perceived status that an individual may have by virtue of their experience, qualification and loyalty to the company
Anyone that has seen this poorly thought out uniform knows that it doesn't achieve the objectives boots has set out. I certainly would not feel comfortable in it. And I've heard so many negative comments from patients. Describing it as "straight jacket" or the "uniform you'd see in a take away establishment". This uniform does not make a patient feel at ease which surely should be paramount. This is just going to alienate them. I don't understand what's wrong with optometrists wearing their own suits especially locums. Anyway if this pitiful uniform is mandatory then surely it should be funded by boots.

Photos: Spotlight on Scooby Wright
The sophomore-to-be from Windsor, Calif., is obviously off to a good start.
Scooby Wright tied for third on the teams in tackles last season with 83 and was second in tackles-for-loss with 9½.
This spring, Wright is wearing Fischer's No. 33 and playing middle linebacker like his mentor did last season. Defensive coordinator Jeff Casteel said Wright isn't at middle linebacker to stay, but wants him to get comfortable at all three spots, so he has the flexibility to move him around in the fall.
Take a look at Wright's start from last season.

"Far Away from Puerto banus, No hot water for 3 days, rude & unhelpful workers, no reimbursement"
The Villa itself was a lovely apartment but there are several other factors that ruined our holiday: NO USE of jacuzzi at night as it's only cold water, Location is far from Puerto Banus, 15 mins in a taxi, TV didn't work, Hair Dryer blew up, NO HOT WATER to shower for 3 days, Rude staff and EVEN MORE RUDE OWNER!! 3 seater sofa for 6 people, POOL'S ARE CLOSED!!!! THe Lift does not work, expect to drag your cases up and back down 3 flights of stairs (I was 17 weeks pregnant at the time)
We arrived at 11.30pm to find Nobody there to greet us. Both mobile numbers I had been given were switched off even though they knew our arrival time and nobody around at that time spoke any English so couldn't help us. The hotel itself is closed, they just rent out rooms privately so imagine after a flight you're tired and hungry, stranded outside an abandoned building!! AN HOUR AND A HALF later, we found someone who knew of Angelika (the person I booked with), he brought down her Niece (who had been left in charge of our stay) who had been sleeping in her bed instead of looking out for us!!
We went inside, paid the remaining balance and key deposit only to be given ONE key between 6 Adults!!
Then we found the jacuzzi was absolutely filthy, plughole was thick with hair and grime and as the water is solar powered, FORGET the idea of a 'Night Time Jacuzzi party' Something we didn't know before we paid!!
For 3 days we had no hot water to shower, the Janitor and the niece Eva speak very little English and kept telling us to allow the sun to heat the water.... 24 hours later... No hot water, 48 hours later, no hot water... the 3rd day we we're extremely upset and angry and demanded someone else come to check the boiler...
Angelika's sister came who was very helpful, a dial underneath the boiler hadn't been turned on, but once she did this the hot water worked fine. (It is not our job as holiday makers to mess about with boilers, this should have been done beforehand or at least checked the first time we told them it wasn't working)
On top of this, The TV didn't work, the DVD player wasn't connected, there was only a 3 seater sofa for 6 people and the hairdryer blew up sending sparks from it and we had only ONE key between 6 people!!
We emailed Angelika with our problems and her response was patronising and cocky, informing me she was "not God" "these things with the boiler happen" and "We we're given the villa at a good price" (Like that even matters when you do not get what was described!!...
She then had the nerve to still charge us Electricity and ignore our email requesting some of our money back!!
The 5 minutes from Puerto Banus is a lie!! It is 15-20 mins in a taxi!!
I would never stay here again. We are going back next year as the holiday itself was amazing but we will be renting in Puerto Banus itself. If you can, avoid this apartment and any others run by Angelika or Eva-maria!! They put a downer on your holiday and are very rude!!
If we would have people like this ones we would never rent out again our apartment. We had to clean 20 hours and restore items after they left. We paid twice an electrician to check the hot water it always worked and was fine. Puerto Banus is 7 km away it is written in our webpage clear. With the car 7 minutes to go there. No more coments

"6 marvellous months spent in AGH Apartments"
This was our long awaited trip to Andalusia. We have chosen AGH apartments as it was conveniently located between Marbella and Estepona, allowing quick access to both locations, and especially to Puerto Banus, where one can soak up the mixture of Spanish atmosphere combined with luxurious entertainment&shopping.
Angelika, who runs AGH Apertmens was a BIG bonus, as she is very effective, helpful and always available. She knows Andalusia and can always recommend where to eat, what to see and where to go on a trip.
The apartments are spacious, fully equipped, clean and nicely decorated, allowing for a comfortable stay. The beach, with a small taverna, is just a hundred meters away, there are supermarkets, pharmacies, bars, bakeries and all other shops in the not so distant area.
After spending 6 months there I can honestly recommend this location to any interested traveller, especially during Winter and Xmas time.

I really really like this! I only gave it 4 lips b/c my husband says my lips are greasy, but that's what most lip balms do. I need to find one that absorbs better, but this feels and smells great, and it puts a light moisture barrier on my no-longer-chapped lips!!
The packaging is cute, and you can't beat the price (less than $3). However, the balm is hard, so it's difficult to apply. It gives a tingling minty feeling on your lips at first. However, it doesn't moisturize well, nor does it have sunscreen. It would be good as a base for lipstick, since it won't cause bleeding. Also, after it wears off, my lips start peeling a lot. All in all, I think there's better lip balms out there.
This lip balm is definately not the best I've ever used. It is doesn't last to long. You have to constantly re-apply it. It is very hard. You have to swirl your fingers on it for several minutes just to get a little bit for application. It does smell great. It feels good when you first put it on (the peppermint oil in it tingles). But I noticed after using this for a while, the peppermint oil in it started to dry my lips out the more I used it! I'm back to my tried and true favorite, BeautiControl Lip Balm.
it makes your lips soft, but doesn't last. Plus, it's hard--literally--and takes several applications to moisturize.
This lip balms doesn't work well for me and if it doesn't soothe my lips in the springtime, imagine how ineffective it would be in the winter. It does moisturize for a bit, but after it fades away or is removed, my lips return to their dryness. I would rather spend my money on MAC's lip conditioner, kiehls' tinted lipbalm, or Rosebud Salve, all of which are great for protecting/moisturizing the lips.
Disappointment! Hard to open container at times, Too drying and application is difficult (I like lip balms that you can dig into).
Would not buy again.
I thought this lip balm was a bit too waxy, but I did like the minty, tingly feeling it gave. Unfortunately, I would not re-purchase.
Too hard in the package, and too waxy on the lips. I prefer a more goopy gloss that is easier to spread.

I was so proud of myself for remembering to bring my camera - just forgot to charge it! Thank goodness for second oldest grandchild - she love photography, so she was there clicking away. We did have to pry her away from her camera to get some pix of her. Had good time. Care2 did get my comments problems fixed and I can finally redeem my credits - couldn't for over a wk...just meant I had more to spread around. I have to thank you all for beings my friends. I still can't seem to get the hang of sending a msg - Maybe by the time I'm 70??
All of a sudden my comments aren't printed. Nothing appens when I click the submit. This a problem and don't know when it'll get fixed - Took Care2 a week to fix last problem.Still can't send messages out - driving me (more) batty.Sorry I can't do more for your articles. Thanx, GGma Sheila
