Skype

Maybe it was something I did - or did not do. Has anyone else had trouble installing this program? I had all kinds of problems ever since I did it. My son tells me he tried it too, hoping to watch his grandsons on his computer, and immediately had all kinds of trouble after installing it. I have also had lots of people telling me they had a hard time making comments ever since.

Yesterday I uninstalled it. I think there must be something I did wrong or failed to do. I'm sure thousands of others have it, and have no trouble. I will wait until my computer genius son-in-law comes to visit, and have him help me. I would certainly love to talk to Isaac and watch him as well. It works for others - why not me? I'm looking forward to reinstalling soon.

Please don't suggest I go to "Help". For as long as I have owned a computer, I have been trying "Help" with all kinds of things, and have never once found any real help (including Blogger). Usually none at all. I've given up on that one.

We're All Thankful for the Internet

Several people have expressed their thankfulness for the internet in the past few days. I have to join them in that sentiment. Blogging has certainly become a very large part of my life in the past two years, and blogging friends have come to mean so much to me. My computer has become my lifeline, as I have become less able to get out and do the things I used to do.


And I could not resist showing you another reason we have to be thankful for modern technology. Recently my son-in-law had to take a business trip to Taiwan. Life without Daddy at home is stressful for Isaac and his mom. But here is how they coped. Isn't that great?



All of us can talk about the good old days when we were young, and how we didn't have modern conveniences. But just think of today's children! Will they ever be able to understand how we managed to get along without such things? Their eyes grow wide and full of doubt just talking about the days before television. Now this?



I can remember watching the Saturday matinee, with serials like Buck Rogers, and thinking how silly the ideas were in those outlandish movies with their robots and such. Kids today would just snicker at such totally unsophisticated things.







But even today, kids do enjoy swings and rings and slides - and climbing trees. Thank God for that!
