Michael, hi. I figured out which file it was, disabled it, and did away with two or three extra steps that the "FASTER" addon added on.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! YOU ARE A GENIUS. This will save me soooooo much time. THanks :-)

Thanks, both of you. It's just a basic skydrive account. I need to access my files at work so I can plan for the next day and print out there so don't have to replace my toner cartridge as often at home. It looks like I should be able to drag files into an area with a large box, but then it won't let me. So, I have to go down and click Load Individual Files link and that's slower, but it works.

Twinky,

In the past I have read them occasionally and they were good--some days, very good. They were thought provoking, comforting, inspiring--all that sort of thing. I haven't read any of them for around five years.

The Full Gospel people have a version of that that was my absolute favorite. Theirs seemed to hit whatever it was that I needed on the head for the moment. But, can't remember the name of their little booklets. Same format, though.

Hey,

I spent a large part of yesterday copying my files to my skydrive account, but could only load one at a time. Then a msg. asked if I wanted to do it faster so I said yes. Now, it's slower than before? I tried to drag files to it, but they didn't move. Also, tried to copy folders, but wouldn't let me load a whole folder--had to click on each file individually inside the folders, then click download.

Sorry if this is a tedious msg, lol. It's been tedious for me getting them up there, too.

Anyone know a faster way?

Thanks!

Happy Birthday!!!! Hope it's a good one :-)

Still plenty of unaccomplished dreams but there's still time, until they give me the wooden overcoat.

wooden overcoat...omg...

If this is what it looks like-

go to tools/internet options, tab settings

restore default

or however you want the options

Thanks, cman. I tried it and still have my 6 tabs with one blank one. Couldn't get rid of it. Darn!

Thanks, Hap. That looks like a great option. Many thanks.

WordWolf, you are in a galaxy far, far, away--in knowledge FROM ME, but thanks anyway!!!!!!

Yes, Hap, I think it is Internet Explorer. No, I don't think it was there before I clicked the wrong thing one time when it asked me if I wanted a new tab and I said yes and then regretted it. BUT MAYBE IT WAS. WHO KNOWS?????? EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

Rejoice...what???? I don't understand. Can I get rid of blank tab do you think?

I AGREE, I was dumfounded on this prior to 1998, when I figured it out. If Dr hadn't hidden the thing, waiting for us to figure it out, I too would have never spent the time in PFAL I did.

I'M GLAD HE HID THIS FROM US.

He gave us enough clues to figure it out, but we didn't. This NOW gives me a retro tool to see who really was a deep thinker back then. Almost NONE of us.

Gosh, there were so many. Good ones waysider and opera.

You don't need to own property. You just need the use of it. You couldn't get anymore use out of it if you owned it, could you?

Paraphrasing Howard Allen, but with vp's approval.

Very funny Abi...and it's all true!

No they DON'T contradict, you just WANT them to.

Here's my pick:

1. God showed him WHICH things were useful to us, and being THE OWNER of such, God told him to collect it for us.

2. God showed him which things were NOT useful to us, sometimes even from the same authors above, and to exclude that material.

3. God showed him some few and much needed original things.

4. The sum of the above was far more than any one author/teacher of VPW's ever had.

Now there's no contradiction.

Jesus died so that I could eat my own "food." Whether or not some of it tastes better or is more useful for my body than others, is not for someone else to decide. If the Word is food, then I can eat it all. Jesus didn't offer new life for certain people only and then tell them what was important making them the middle man between him and the important people that he sacrificed his life for. The Bible says all of the Word, or food, is useful for the Body, so there is the rub regarding your theory, Mike.

Happy Birthday, Leafy!

Thanks Notta. It's 224 pages, so I probably won't download, but thanks for thinking of us :-)

I learned a lot of what others have said, but in addition to that, I would also say that an important thing I learned is self-value. Instead of always doing what others, whether leadership, my parents, etc. wanted, [b]I had to learn to do what I wanted, and to believe what I figure out on my own. [/b] It was difficult, as a supposedly intelligent kid, to grow up and automatically reject my own thoughts because they didn't line up with leadership or what I was told the bible said. Now that I am both out of TWI and an adult, I have learned that I am capable of making good decisions, and just because someone in authority tells me something doesn't make it gospel truth.

Well spoken, Mr. P-Mosh. I kinda learned the same thing. Nobody knows what's right for me better than me. And, why wouldn't that be so? Didn't Jesus die so we would have direct access to him?

Hey, I somehow added a blank tab in windows and now I can't get rid of it. You know, those little tabs that you have your homepage on and 4 or 5 other tabs with favorite websites so you can go right to them?

Does anyone know how to delete a blank one?

When I googled it nothing came up.

Thanks Steve! I need to get mine on eBay, too.

I sold mine on ebay after a house cleaning, there is actually a market out there since they are hard to get. Probably not the best way but I'm sure no buyers were blind to the content if you bid on it you knew what it was.

How do the buyers pay you? Do they submit via PayPal and then you mail them or how does that work?

I voted for #5, he made it up, though I don't think that exactly reflects my opinion.

What I actually think is that he heard a similar story somewhere and made up his own version to personalize it, much like the story of his preaching to the trees that originated, in essence, from an incident that Billy Graham recounted of his own personal experience.

I'll second that, waysider...

Notta -- WOW

WB - So, you think having an alcoholic relative sets one up for the sociapath -- or the alcoholic is the sociapath?

Yes and yes.

But regardless, the sociopath does know how to strike a chord on the person looking for the music. There are plenty of successful women who have been conned who did not have alcoholic parents, they just were too trusting.

Did you have a line of drinkers in your family before VPW? I am sure some/many did.

Many of us were looking for family. Looking for love.

I think people like him know that and exploit it.

No, my parents did not drink and I was never around it at home. And, yes, I have been duped by a sociopath as well, so I know it's not a pleasant feeling. In recent years, I've tried to identify things in me that would have caused me to fall for lines like that.

I have this poem hanging in my kitchen window and carry a copy in my wallet. I have seen it many times elsewhere yet the author is never credited.

Don't Quit

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,

When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,

When the funds are low, and the debts are high,

And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,

When care is pressing you down a bit,

Rest if you must, but don't you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,

As everyone of us sometimes learns,

And many a failure turns about,

When he might have won had he stuck it out;

Don't give up though the pace seems slow,

You may succeed with another blow.

Success is failure turned inside out,

The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,

And you never can tell how close you are,

It may be near when it seems so far;

So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit,

It's when things seem worse,

that you must not quit.

Beautiful. Thank you!

He never drank until long after I left the house then he was having after dinner drinks etc.

Please forgive me, did any of your grandparents or great grandparents drink? It just sounds so much like the way alcoholics behave. If it was in your family tree, traits could have been passed down. And, your propensity for choosing certain personality types could be a result of an adult child (grandchild, great-grandchild) of an alcoholic reaction because those people seem comfortable for you to be around .

It might be worth a shot to do some geneology homework...

Sorry. I'm not trying to "fix" you. It just came to mind and I kept going back and forth as to whether I should pm you or post it out here.

CUTE! sooooo true...

I know, I'll go on a fruitcake diet. That way, I'll get realllllllly skinny...
