Can We Talk?

What is a chat room?
It's an area of a website set aside for people to chat in 'real' time. In other words, messages appear on a screen as soon as they are typed, and are responded to immediately.
Let's go to an established chat room for our first visit -- Yahoo Chat. Go to http://www.yahoo.com After the home page loads, click on the 'chat' link, at the left side of the page right by Connect.
You will first have to register, if you don't have a yahoo email address. If you already have a yahoo email address, then you can go straight to the chat room.
Under the 'Enter Chat Room' link, there are two 'Featured Rooms', you can choose instead. After you hav (read full article) |

Let's Protect Our Children
by: Jane Fulton
There are software programs that you can purchase to keep your children from accessing undesirable websites. There are two good ones, Cyber Patrol and Net Nanny.
There is also software that will create a log of all the sites that have been visited by your PC. It allows you to check on the sites your children are visiting.
You can also use your History Button on your web browser.
If you are running Windows 98, you can set-up a "Content Advisor" rating system to control how much of Web sites a person can view according to it's levels of language, nudity, sex and violence.
To do this, you would go to the 'start' button-- 'settings' (read full article) |

Give-And-Take: Recipe for Success in Marriage?
by: Azriel Winnett
A woman once visited a counselor to ask a question about her marriage. I have a funny feeling that you might not be especially impressed with the answer she was given.
All the same, I'll take my chances. I think my shoulders are broad enough.
I stand by the counselor's response 100%.
The questioner (let's call her Jane) was married to a divorcee. Her husband (John) had to pay a certain sum of money every month to his previous wife as alimony, or whatever. He had just started a new business and was passing through a financial sticky patch. The obligation to his ex-wife, on top of everything else, was putting John under (read full article) |

Valentines Day! The Sweet and Romantic Holiday
by: Merrie Schonbach
When I think of Valentines Day I think of Chocolates and Flowers. Others might think of a more romantic subject too. What ever it means to you it should be made fun and can offer another reason to think of giving someone special a gift during this holiday.
There are many ways to shop for valentine gift ideas. Some options you might think of are to browse through the catalogs we all receive in the mail to get ideas, go out shopping at the stores and wait in lines, or kick back with a cup of coffee or cup of Mocha and browse online. Doesn't the 3rd option sound the best? I have found shopping online to be so much easie (read full article) |

Defending Your Relationship
by: James Wood
A power of attorney is a legal document that allows you to dictate who you would like to make decisions on your behalf. While there are many useful purposes for a power of attorney, they are especially important to unmarried couples, which live together, when a partner becomes incapacitated and unable to make decisions. In such situations, the law usually designates the incapacitated person's next of kin as the decision maker. With a power of attorney, unmarried couples can give their partners the power to make such decisions.
Powers of attorney can be as general or specific as you decide. You can give your partner the power to make decision (read full article) |

And You Always Will
by: LeAnn R. Ralph
I opened the dishtowel drawer for about the sixth time, hoping the towels had somehow magically appeared.
The brand new towels still weren’t there, of course.
“What did Mom DO with them?” I wondered aloud.
I knew they had to be around somewhere because I had given them to her for Christmas only a few months ago. Not that the towels were so terribly important. It’s just that when you’re expecting guests, you’d kind of like everything to look nice.
Okay, so maybe I wasn't going to find them. Then again, the guests wouldn’t arrive until tomorrow. Plenty of time to worry about dishtowels later.
On second thought, maybe I ought to fo (read full article) |

Proper Medical Identification Could Save Your LIFE
by: Rick Pack
Everyone with a medical condition or allergy should have a medical id alert bracelet. There are many places that you can find a wide variety of medical alert jewelry styles, especially on the internet. Most are custom-engraved, stainless steel medical ID bracelets or necklaces. Each one should be able to hold between four to six lines of medical information (for a variety of conditions, diseases, allergies) and engraved in red so the information is easy to read by emergency personnel.
Over 60 million Americans have a medical condition, which should be immediately known to Emergency Personnel. Diabetes, Alzheimer's sympt (read full article) |

To Know You Is To Love You
by: Skye Thomas
How do you show someone you love them? Do you buy them expensive gifts? Spend quality time together? Make personal sacrifices just to see them smile? Dedicate a song to them? Write a love letter or note of encouragement? Become their cheerleader? Those are wonderful things to do but my question goes deeper then those types of activities, even beyond your romantic partner. Think about your parents, your children, your best friend, your sister, or your brother... anyone you love. How do you really show them that you love them? Reverse the question if you like - how do you really know if someone loves you?
The answer lies in getting to (read full article) |

When Mother Comes to Visit
by: David Leonhardt
My mom came to visit us for a few days. I know what you're thinking. I know it's happened to you, too. Just when someone comes to visit, All Hell decides to break loose. And especially if it's your mother, All Hell delights in knocking everything just enough out of whack to showcase your utter incompetence for her eyes.
But All Hell didn't break loose this time. We drove my mom home from the bus depot. I opened the front door for her and let her walk in first, followed by my wife.
"Oh, my God!"
"What is it, Mother?"
"You've been burglarized."
My wife and I looked at each other. "How can you tell?" we asked together.
"Just look (read full article) |
