What is parenting?
Parenting is driving down the road, hearing a child sneeze, looking over your shoulder to see a one inch slug hanging from her nose, and rapidly finding a tissue without wrecking the car.

Obama’s Infomercial
In case you missed it, here’s Obama’s infomercial that played on 3 networks last week:
Of Grasshoppers
Student: When did I die?
Master: When did you quit living?
Halloween was much fun!
Cathy has the pictures.
We had a miscommunication with the 12 year old boys. Noah wanted to be with his friend so we dropped him off but the boys thought we were going to do his friend’s neighborhood then go to our traditional trick or treat spot. When we drove away, they didn’t call to ask about our plan nor did they call to tell us they were done with that neighborhood and ready to join us. Cathy made amends by purchasing a bunch of sale candy after midnight and stuffing the boys bags.
From the mouths of babes
My son has experienced his first ever Emergency Alert System message on the television..and it wasn’t a test!
Evan, 3 years and 5 months old: "Daddy! Come look at tv."
Dad, hears that an Emergency Alert System message is on: "It’s okay. It’ll go away in a moment."
Evan, turns television off then back on and message is gone: "I fix it!"
McCain says Obama NOT a Socialist
See The Huffington Post for the transcript.
Also, according to taxfoundation.org, it looks like Republican’s lean more toward Socialism than Democrats.

What brings people to Reality Me?
Today’s list of search terms that brought people to Reality Me. Not what I’d expect. I’d say people are really confused about the Charter Amendments…and where to get condoms.
AT&T – I offer you some free consulting
First, let’s begin with emailing from your phones. It’s a simple process and should never see an error like:
Your MSG could not be DELIVERED because InvalidPduContent
Soon we will discuss daylight savings time, servers and time stamping. And radiowave propagation.
Update: So far, it would appear that any SMS message over 160 characters causes this problem. Now, the thing is, the phone (a Motorola RAZR v3xx) is supposed to be able to send email as well as SMS. I believe it uses the same interface. So 160 characters doesn’t fly. Plus, the interface is supposed to take anything over 160 characters and automatically break it into multiple messages. Hmm. I wonder if that’s it. Perhaps it sends the first 160 characters successfully but fails to put the correct header on the next message so the later part of the email doesn’t get sent successfully.
I’ve got myself a keylogger!
Maybe.. Windows security popped up to explain that I’ve got the Trojan-Keylogger.WIN32.Fung. Now, I’m typing fast and thinking slow. I may have just fallen prey to a popup ad because Windows security could only "enable protection" which when clicked took me to a … oh, this is pseudo phishing scam. That had to be a popup ad well designed to look like the windows security popup. It took me to an affiliate site for a free download or the ability to buy some software. I can’t believe I nibbled at that! None-the-less, I’m going to do a few scans and ensure the integrity of this machine. Back to work.
Has FireFox forgotten you?
Many sites have the option to log in and remember you for a time period, usually a couple of weeks. For instance, Delicious, GMail, and Twitter all remember that I’ve logged in and only make me log back in after a couple of weeks even if Firefox is shutdown, crashed, or the computer is rebooted. That is, until last week when I noticed that every time I went to one of the sites I had to log in again even if I’d checked the "remember me" box. Naturally, I assumed a cookie problem.
As it turns out, if this is happening to you, a file called cookies.sqlite is damaged. Close Firefox! Right click on the START menu and open Explore. You may be navigating to some hidden directories so once Windows Explorer opens, go to the Tools menu and choose Folder Options. Go to the View tab. Make sure the bullet is on "Show hidden files and folders" instead of "Do not show hidden files and folders" Personally, I would recommend removing the check from "Hide extensions for known file types" Now navigate to this directory: C:\Documents and Settings\{username}\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ Note that C will be the letter of your drive where windows is installed and it may not necessarily be C. {username} will be the name you use when logging into windows. Once in that directory, find your profile directory. It will probably be the only subdirectory and most likely will be a bunch of random numbers and letters dot default like 2fwe34ccc.default. Go into that directory. Find the file cookies.sqlite and delete it. Restart Firefox and your problem should be solved.
