Today some friends and I went to the Botanical Garden's Butterfly Show. What a magical treat. We saw the most beautiful butterflies and moths that you can imagine....one moth that is huge, I mean at least 10 inches across that has wings that look like snake heads. Amazing. It only lives for 6 days, has no mouth so it cannot eat and only lives to replicate. I can't imagine. I think it was called an Atlas moth and was from South America. At least it wouldn't eat your sweaters! I will have some pictures to post soon. It was the most fantastical thing to have these huge butterflies flying all over in a conservatory that had every kind of exotic plant in the world growing in it and the humidity was 100%. There is also a stream full of fish flowing throughout and simply amazing. The next event is the Japanese Garden and there is a restaurant there that I want to go to. So restful and beautiful the Botanical Gardens are. I have completed two shirts for my Civil War teacher and hope to have pictures of him in both outfits to post as well....so I have been busy, even though I haven't posted anything lately. Hugs to all, Melissa

Nowadays you can get a virus or more likely a trojan or rootkit just about anywhere and if your computer isn't properly secured just by being connected to the internet or a wireless network. It's important to have a good anti-virus program updated daily and always running and most importantly to have a good firewall... not the junk Windows ships with or Norton, Symantec and McAfee suites.

There are plenty of folks here our age... just have to find them!

I think that although the internet has the potential to increase our knowledge and expand our range of interest it also has a tendency to deliver misinformation and provide a vehicle for widespread distribution and dissemination of work that previously would have died out or captured only a limited audience.

I just read your journal....my computer crashed not too long ago....seems my son had been visiting a few places he shouldn't have and I got a virus or two. Oh well, the young man has to grow up sometime, but I wasn't ready for that just yet! (And why did he use MY computer to look at that????) Well, we've now had THE DISCUSSION and he reloaded my computer so things are cool. I remember being that age.....doesn't seem so long ago, does it? You and I are about the same age. I am 59, so I readily identify with all your favorite music and movies! Thank goodness there's someone here that I can identify with.....I don't know a lot about anime and manga that these kids all seem to love. Doesn't quite seem equal to Ayn Rand or Truman Capote or even Fannie Flagg for that matter. But then we had Alfred E. Neuman....what could be better than that?

When I make settlement for the accident I was in I'll get my daughter her own car. Maybe then I'll get to use mine on the weekends!

I taught her to drive and that's a surprise cause I don't even like being a passenger with an experienced driver let alone with someone learning. Years ago my wife got private lessons because I was just a bundle of nerves trying to teach her.

You'll survive! It's something you just have to accept. Most drivers were a lot less "all about me" when I learned to drive. Nowadays it seems like everyone on the road thinks only about themselves. I used to really enjoy driving now it's just a means of getting from place to place.

Hey, at least she's driving! I've been saving an old 1990 Caddy for her to drive (it's a boat!) but the traffic around here is so bad that she is afraid to drive. So this summer I am going to enroll her in private driving lessons (I don't have the stamina to do it!) Otherwise, I'll be in the same boat as you!

Now, I have a 15 year old son that will be bugging me to drive the minute he can. I hate the thought of that, considering how brash young men drive! Oh well, I guess I will live through it all!

My daughter was pretty much the same... she is my only child and I thought it would be good for her to live on campus. Social interaction is very important and she never had much of that at home with siblings or kids her own age. Her school is just about 25 minutes from home and she comes home most weekends but also works near the school. Not having her own car yet is what keeps me running.

Oh man, I have persuaded my daughter to go to Univ. of North Texas, which is about 30 minutes from our house because she is so paranoid about being out on her own. I think it will be good for her, but she is still scared. At least she has the comfort of knowing she can come home whenever she wants. I feel for her, I remember being that age and how hard it was to leave home

But I think she will do well, she's a smart cookie.

I remember those days all too well... my daughter is in her 3rd year of college now and though she lives on campus it's local and she still keeps me hopping!

It's no problem... whenever you get around to it.

Ah ha, its what you've all been waiting for, the great and mighty DEMONPANCAKE. Some say, im good with syrup, some say, im good with brimstone, and, to be frank (No, not you frank)
I am. All that aside, I thought id tell you all a 'lil
something you already knew.

Whilst browsing this amazing account (Shinpai-san), You, not me, not my sister, may have noticed that her work is simply amazing.
Not to brag...or anything...Ok, maybe a little.

I think you get the point,

My mom, is the greatest mom why ever lived,
Which, i suppose in pancake'dom, makes her, the syrup on my pancake. (No offense to all the other moms out there!)
