software. As a Luddite who can run a computer it is a pain in the butt. When my xp melted down I got a new computer an Acer running on windows 7. The geeks down the street who had pronounced the xp dead took my old hard drive out and reinstalled it on the new machine. They installed LibreOffice to replace Microsoft Office which was not salvageable. I do not like it at all. It flings everything all over the place file wise.

I'm not a good enough techie to adapt it to "change it so it does your computing as you wish (freedom 1). Access to the source code is a precondition for this". Source code is beyond my capability. It looks interesting but man o man it's Greek to me. So I'm breaking down and buying Microsoft Office with Excel. I hate Microsoft as each progressive new version is more automated and idiotic then the last.

My first computer was a Windows 98. I loved it I could move stuff around where I wanted it manually. It was simple. Any software that requires a person to buy tutorials or as with my Adobe software take a class to use it is ridiculous. I lost Adobe Creative Suite when my computer melted but that was actually a blessing in disguise as I went back to using a student version of Corel. Free is a concept I understand but if you cannot deal with programming and are not a geek it does not offer any freedom you can't use it.

Both Adobe and Microsoft suck. Mozilla seems more user friendly and it has over the years been easy to adapted as my browser. I'm sorry to hear Microsoft is sabotaging/infiltrating as if I had any tech skills I would use Linux. The freedom to use and share is much better then having to deal with software controlled by the likes Bill Gates Window's version of automated intelligence.

Friday OT will be here for you when you are ready. If on the other hand, you find it somewhat therapeutic once you force yourself to it, your content is fine. All you really need is the OT header and a sentence or two on how you and sweetie are doing. I swear one day I'm only going to put the header in one of mine just to set the precedent. I quit doing them because I was afraid I could find anything or enough intelligent things to say. Finally, I said "fuck it" and volunteered again. " It is what it is" is my new theme.

Take care of both of you. Seriously, let us know if you need a break.

you had strength at all to write it up. Take care of yourself.

The reality is that Dr. Jill Stein is the candidate with an African American running mate and privileged people vote for the status quo.

That is totally Orwellian. The U.S. starts a war in Syria right after it's war in Libya, seeking to destroy the country and remove it's government from power, and Kerry has the gall to say THAT!
It's almost like I want to call someone to tell them, "hey, this guy is lying, DO SOMETHING!!"
But there's no one to call.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Secretary of State John Kerry called Friday for Russia and Syria to face a war crimes investigation for their attacks on Syrian civilians, further illustrating the downward spiral in relations between Washington and Moscow.
Kerry said Syrian forces hit a hospital overnight, killing 20 people and wounding 100, describing what would be the latest strike by Moscow or its ally in Damascus on a civilian target.
"Russia and the regime owe the world more than an explanation about why they keep hitting hospitals, and medical facilities, and women and children," Kerry told reporters alongside French Foreign Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault, who arrived in Washington directly from meeting Russian officials in Moscow.
Kerry said such acts "beg for an appropriate investigation of war crimes."

Hey John, how about our friends in Saudi Arabia? You know the ones that we are helping destroy Yemen??
They have been bombing hospitals in Yemen and other citizens infrastructure since they began bombing them.

Even the UN is saying that SA should be sanctioned, yet you and your boss have come to the defense of SA time after time.
So shut your mouth because someday there may be a second Nuremberg trial and your butt would be in the docket along with your boss.

I remember putting pillows under him strategically. The only time my husband let his emotions get away from him was a diaper moment that I barely finished, when, due to an explosive bowel movement, I had to do it again. He was just so humiliated. I just talked and laughed and told him what an expert I was becoming at putting a spit shine on an ass, like, who knew? I can't remember the cream I put on him, but it came from an herbal supplement/supply store.
I swear to you, it is a blessing that Sweetie is unaware of what is going on. My guy raised his arm, saw that it was nothing more than skin on bone, said "I do not recognize myself". He knew he would die the day he did, in fact, die.
I also swear to you, that there is a future in store for you that will not resemble anything in this life you are living. Some rest, some laughter, beer, music, friends, and everyday you can pat yourself on the back for being a stand up guy when you were put to the task.
