Computer Question

This is not a major problem with my computer, just annoying. I have Windows XP Pro (2002), and have multiple users set up (separate log ons etc), so the problem after my daughter logs on and then I log on all my "remember me" info is gone. I just re-type but it bothers me that I do not know why.... anyone have this or know what I am doing wrong?

Marathon Update

Well this has been long overdue, but I thought I'd fill everyone in. Sara, due to over ambitious scheduling and a slight injury when she tried to catch up too fast in training, decided she could not do Marine Corps Marathon this October. Though disappointed, and feeling as if she has let her incredibly generous donors down, she wants everyone to know she is now setting her sights on doing the San Diego Marathon this coming June (which Dad will do right beside her). Sara wants to thank each of you for your donations and well wishes, and thanks to you we are steps closer to finding a cure.

I am still doing the Marine Corps Marathon, Oct 25th, and so that means along with the two of us doing San Diego together we hope to raise a total of at least 10 thousand dollars to help fight the battle against blood cancers. I will try and keep you updates as interest warrants.

R.I.P. Senator Kennedy

Somehow I believed he was going to beat this cancer, odds never seemed to bother the Senator. Didn't always agree with his personal actions, but he became a formidable statesman, and the voice to alot of things I believe.

Advertising Questions

I like to point out those advertising moments of sexism, but my question is do you believe it effects the mass consciousness? A couple examples. A J C Penney ad for a one day sale from a couple years ago.. father failing miserably trying to control children and begging to know when 'your mother is coming home?' or a recent snapple ad where they are discussing a marketing line, guy comes up with line everyone loves.. woman turns aside and says "we're dating". How disappointing these are to me in this day and age..but does it matter?

One Item on My Summer Agenda

I wasn't sure if this was exactly kosher, but since the wands seem to be missing....

One thing my daughter and I are doing is training together for a marathon that takes place this fall. If anyone is interested in taking a peek I have attached the link to my daughters website.

My Dilemna

I have received notice of the changes that are coming to EONS. Here is my dilemna, I certainly do not want to open EONS first thing in the morning (or anytime really) and be confronted with my mug. I am thinking that I should have a rotating schedule of pictures of the ladies on 40+ that they would graciously donate. Of course I would put a disclaimer on my profile in case anyone looks. Good Idea?

A Valentine Thought For My EON Friends

Love is the tempest building upon the horizon. Slowly it grows, hurriedly the people prepare against the roaring skies and trembling earth. But, friends, stand with me among our fields, tempting the violence amidst the clouds.For us to know the dark and the frightening is also to know the sweet gentleness of a loved one's whisper.

A Question to Ponder

Something I wonder about. Do you take into morals (more specifically less than ideal ones) when becoming a "fan" of an artist or sports figure? And I guess I am not talking about alcoholic writers or even junkie singers unless these addictions lead to even worse problems. I talk about those that have allegedly abused their spouses or children, had liasons with underage kids. Some really talented people fall into these categories and I am curious.
