Garth, Great points, I was hoping you would post them here since you did address them over in that other thread. Kathy

Thoughts pertaining to our youth seem to just want to hang around these days for me. In a thread of James French?s he brought up music in regards to spiritual matters. But with other issues being considered it was lost, even after I posted to him directly. So thought I would start a new thread. We were encouraged by our twi leadership to put some restraints on what our children could listen to in regards to music. (as well as movies, but another issue) I myself never paid much attention to their suggestions as having been a music lover myself I knew I would be hard pressed to ask my son not to listen to whatever he chose to. It was a part of his life, having been raised under my roof, to be introduced to music. He was driven home from the hospital in a car in Philly at birth with Led Zeppelin cranked up, and I never allowed anyone to be quite while he was asleep. Bad way to start out with a newborn. It was not encouraged to great length by LCM, as best I remember due to the fact he was passionate about rock and grunge music himself. Favorites being Stone Temple Pilots and Metallica. But it was by those under his authority. What do yall think? Do you think today?s music can be harmful for our youth in regards to sound spiritual thinking? I know that twi holds that what you take in you will ultimately give out. But they were not allowing for a proper mix of both allowance of our youth to be just that "youth" and the necessary oversight of those children of ours. Will be gone most of the day, but if anyone is interested I sure would love your thoughts on this. Kathy QQ, in this post is the clue to the riddle I proposed to you should you read this post and have any interest. ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ EDITED TO ADD THIS: this thread has taken on far more than I ever imagined it would, thus I have altered the name to reflect more of it's content.

Paw, Happy Birthday!!!!! So thankful you were born, as you already know, my life would be poorer if it were not for you being in it. Love to you my confidant, Kathy

Paw, Kathy

Mister P-Mosh, Hate to tell ya this but you will find new things to spend your money on now that you are married. Talk to you more over in the other forum. Kathy

Mister P-Mosh, And did your $500 monthly phone bills have anything to do with the new Mrs. Mister P-Mosh? Kathy

Go find some birds to ponder upon with your lovely. Kathy

Steve, Gosh what a view you have, I'm jealous (spell?) cause I have no view. I work in one of those raised floor computer rooms that has a keypad lock to even get into. NO view at all. ahhhh Cool for you, ain't Chicago just beautiful? So guys I am back on, no kidding I have it scheduled for 11/25. What a girl I am. Then I will be quick as lightening like the one I am at work typing on now. This is not PC but one near my desk and this puppy is so fast it makes your head spin. Thanks for you continued help. Kathy

Thanks Steve, Hey I heard we were getting snow, did you hear that? Kathy

I made a mistake at work yesterday and got on someone else?s PC that was cable access and the flying through web pages made me yearn again. See my PC is so loaded with ftp files etc, that it is nearly as slow as my home PC with a phone dial up. And I don?t work on my PC much at work. My job is nearly exclusively done in the companies main frame. So I forget how quickly things can actually move along. (please don?t laugh but I actually work in computer operations, shhh, don?t tell my boss I have no clue) But one of the things that discouraged me about the cable modem was where I read you had to have a networking card in order to use a router. It was just getting too complicated for my brain. Would software firewall protection be sufficient? It would seem to be much easier to install and less costly than the router option. Hubby said, I could go back to the cable gig if I wanted to. He is such a sweetie. Kathy

Happy Birthday to the girl that makes us smile. Kathy

Have a cool belated day there. Kathy

Thanks John, No doubt some day I will follow thru with the switch over. I bought a Samsung 17" flat screen and it was almost 1/2 the cost of that Sony 21". I got a rebate, sign up for credit deal on it which took off some money to make it reasonable (or at least in my mind ). BTW, you may remember that I will pretty much try anything whether I have a clue what I am doing or not, so that was how I BROKE MY COMPUTER. Kathy

DATWAY Yep you go right ahead and tell Chris I said it was okay with me. No lie this puppy is awesome. My eyes love looking at things, I had to find a really cool background cause the standard ones just paled on the computer. Have a really cool ocean scene that makes ya smell the salt it is so crisp and clear. And I may someday do the cable but with the money I put out I am justing wanting not to spend anymore for a minute or so. Plus no trench in the yard. Hubby is happy. See ya, and give that lovely lady of yours a big ole hug and kiss for me. Kathy

Okay I am fixin to be a female here. (don't get mad ladies, please) I have been playing for a few mintues and find my added 256k makes a huge difference in response time. HUGE. Now for the full confession, when I was at Best Buy yesterday I had gone there intending to upgrade my keyboard and monitor, both of which still had caveman (sorry caveman) stick man figures on them cause of being so old. Well I fell in love with a 17" flat screen, and guess what I am looking at right now. Ahhhhhh, to die for guys, just to die for. But hubby just looked at me like what the heck, you never do things like that, whatever in the world made you decide to spend $200 more on that thing. Ummm, well ummm, what can I say. So I am going to cancel going modem. I think I am good now, and then I can return that router and that graphics card and make hubby happy. hahahaha Okay so I am a girl. What the he11. Kathy With what I just returned I nearly made up for the extra money on the monitor. [This message was edited by ChattyKathy on November 10, 2002 at 12:44.]

---right after my last post yesterday guess what I did: I BROKE MY COMPUTER Just had to have it rebuilt by someone. But he said it was not my fault, one of those Microsoft twlight zone things. No time now, back later. Oh by the way I do not need the graphics card I purchased, so thanks but don't need that answer now. And guess what, I find out after having to be offline since yesterday that I am indeed sick when I can not talk to you guys. Kathy

John, Ummm, do you know me or something? But see the library has to be open for this to work. Okay I could survive without my computer for as long as it took to get the cable problem up and running again. (now Kathy repeat that over and over until you really believe it ). Does this tell me what I have in a graphics card: Intel Indeo Video 4.3 (lV41) I went to Best Buy and now have everything, but will not take the graphics card out of plastic/box till I know I really needed it, based on your reply. Gotta get dinner going. Later, Kathy

One more question, well actually I can not promise that, but one more for this second. If I remove my 56k dial up modem then I have no access except via Broadband correct? And if so what happens if the cable is not available for some reason. I could not get on line, but if I still had that phone dial up modem I could reroute it to my one remaining phone line correct? Gawd, for me to ask this means I am in serious need of a time away from my computer. Kathy

Steve, Somehow I thought I had to have a video card. Felt like a dummy to say I couldn't find it in Device Manager. I am going to Best Buy later on today and purchase the things yall suggested. Then I will be having that cable modem work done Wed. morning. I think I will wait till that work is done before I do anything else. Well naturally I don't want to remove my 56k dial up modem, or I would be lost. I will rethink this sentence as some work may need to be done prior I guess. Hubby is pretty sharp with replacing and fixin things, if I am not comfortable with it all I have a work friend I will have come over and help me out. Thanks again, well gotta do stuff, have been just checking in off and on this morning. Ain't it one awesome day we have here today in Illinois? Just fab! Kathy

Like your addition there. #9 Kathy

Happy Birthday to the man with his name in lights. Kathy [This message was edited by ChattyKathy on November 10, 2002 at 21:50.]

Trust your skies will be full of color and splender on your birthday. Kathy

Thanks Guys, But are you sure you remembered who it was you were talking to when you posted? Is is possible I do not have a graphics card, I do not see one listed in the Device Manager? So it sounds like a cable modem will gain me speed but: I should get a router, which provides that firewall needed I should get 256MG of ram and replace what I have presently with this I should get a new graphics card (heck not sure I have one, gosh I must have one ????) I should remove my 56k dial up modem Keep my Windows 98 CD in the tray while doing some (not all????) of the work So which one of you will come help me with this project? Can I just look in Zixar?s telescope instead, that seems so much easier than this project. Thanks, and if you don?t hear from me for a couple weeks, well ya know I broke my computer. Kathy
