Keep Computer Cool

nobody@vox.com(Maz2001) — Wed, 07 May 2008 09:54:28 -0400

Wow, yesterday was some day. I was surfing away at the internet and my computer shut down. What is going on, I wondered. So, turned back on and checked my security, nothing going on there. So, I went back to surfing. Short time later, down again.

Now, I live in Central Florida, but it still gets hot. We are having 90 degree days and 68 degree nights right now. Yep, it was a little warm in my comp room, but I didn't think much about it at the time.

It wasn't until about the third time it shut down, that I thought about the heat. I checked the tower and it was warm? Actually, more than warm. So, I left it shut down for a while and went and got a floor fan from the other room. Set that up and angled it to the computer tower. Actually, I moved the tower to a more open space at the same time. Did a little dusting while it was off. All nice and clean and cool now. No more problems.

So, this is a reminder to keep your computer cool and clean for better performance. I guess mine was a little dirty, and that probably caused it to be a little slower than usual.

Sunday

nobody@vox.com(Maz2001) — Sun, 04 May 2008 13:38:27 -0400

So, this is Sunday, the day of rest. Now, be truthful, how many of you actuall;y "rest"? This is probably the hardest day for me to rest.

Whether or not I go to church, God and Jesus are always in my mind. But, I love music and have always loved the old hymns. I still have the hymnal book from my old country chapel. There is such meaning to the words you cannot help but feel the emotion.

One of my favorite, How Great Thou Art, was recently done by Carrie Undewood. Oh, what a voice. So I decided to add it here.

Carrie Underwood - How Great Thou Art

I know I sound religious. I am. Just not the typical church goer. I have found almost all religions have become so commercial and money oriented. Well, it is okay to donate to your church, but do not start asking me for money. I do not attend services to give money, I attend to get forgiveness and peace. I attend for the spiritual peace I receive by feeling closer the Jesus or God. But, unfortunately, being poor, I am not much accepted. I do not stay with the latest fashions, or know the great places to eat and drink. I know my clothes look bad, but they are clean. I eat at home. I drink seldom, but at home. So, now I am off my soapbox.

Have a GREAT DAY.

Spirits

nobody@vox.com(Maz2001) — Sat, 03 May 2008 14:24:31 -0400

Has anyone had a spirit visit experience? It can be very scarey and touching at the same time. I know that some think it impossible, but unless you experience it, you really wouldn't understand. Spirits can be helpful, loving, and just plain comfortable to have around.

I get visits from my husband and brother's spirits when times are stressful. It helps, because I know that they are there to comfort and encourage me. The visit may just be fleeting or last for a couple seconds. The smell of my husband's aftershave is the best. My brother usually whispers my name.

I know that some people believe that spirits come from the devil, but that is just not true. Most spirits come from God. Maybe a few from the devil, but that was their choice. How can someone you loved and cherished, be a spirit from the devil when there is only good around them?

I know that they are watching over me and that is comforting. To know that when I go Home, I will be with them makes this life easier.

There, that is out. Thank you.

QotD: Personality Trait = Trouble

nobody@vox.com(Maz2001) — Sat, 03 May 2008 11:31:31 -0400

What personality trait has gotten you in the most trouble?

Telling it like it is. Cannot seem to know when to hold back or just speak. However, by now most friends know my faults.

QotD: Ghost Stories

nobody@vox.com(Maz2001) — Thu, 01 May 2008 12:27:26 -0400

Do you believe in ghosts? If so, have you ever seen one?

Of course I believe in ghosts. I had the experience of the presence when I was younger. Being younger, I ran as fast as I could in the opposite direction. Fear outweighed curiosity then. Hoping to have the experience again.

QotD: Road Trip

When was the last time you drove out of town?

Three weeks ago when I needed to drive to a clinic in neighboring town 36 miles away. Nice drive.
