Oh, and yeah, I only use Firefox too. But I keep IE on the computer and sometimes use it if I get some web page that won't work properly on Firefox. And I meant Edit the Registry in my post last night, not the Directory, LOL.

LOL, I use AOL but if I bring up IE, I get the Dell site as home page (and my puter is a Dell)

Well, after a harrowing evening of trying everything possible to remove the offensive Sony/AOL homepage, I finally unistalled Norton Antivirus and the anti-spyware that came with the 'puter and turned off the firewall. That did the trick. Now Yahoo! sticks as the homepage. I hate all the crap they pre-install--does my computer really need three anti-virus programs running at once? I also tried turning off the options for these programs before uninstalling, but they would revert back to overprotecting my computer on start up so they had to go.

NEW QUESTION: Anyone got any cute little kid jokes? (Tomorrow is joke day for my son's third grade class.) I found one or two, but most of the ones I've seen are either too stupid, inappropriate or too complicated... TIA!!! We're looking for a clever and cute joke!

Here's a funny. DH went to renew our boat slip for the year and they gave him this as sort of a free gift. He stared at it for about a week on his desk before he finally asked me what it was. I knew right away, but can you tell just by looking? Actual length/width is about 3.5 inches.

Yep, that's it, Twinkie..LOL...and it's almost unbearable to use because of it's shape. They should fire the guy who came up with this one.

Yeah, Twinkie is old, so she didn't cheat. In fact, she gets extra points for being able to remember anything back that far.

TWO new dumb questions: 1. When did it come out or become widely recognized that pregnant women should not drink? (I am watching the Ryan's Hopes reruns and there is a doctor who is recommending that the pregnant mother of his own child drink. These episodes are in early 1977.) 2. What the heck good does a "little swimmers" type diaper do? We recently ran out of diapers so I put one on my dd and man, that thing does not hold one drop of liquid. Big pee mess! So what is the point? Just to hold the poop if a kid poops in a pool? Obviously it is made not to be absorbent, otherwise it would swell til it popped, but really why even bother at all? Wouldn't plain old rubber pants do a better job??

Can't help you, Julie, but coincidentally this morning Kathy & Judy on WGN radio were talking about drinking, smoking, and cell phone use during pregnancy.

1. My doctor told me that a bit of red wine or even a beer once or twice a month is fine, but more than that can hurt the baby 2. They hold in the big stuff, but not the liquid.

Foetal alcohol syndrome was apparently discovered in 1973, so I would guess by the early 80s it became more taboo. If you go to Google there's a really good feature in the New section. (I know we're not meant to mention google here, but this is new to me and might be useful/interesting to others too.) If you type in your search query, like "pregnant alcohol", click on the news tab you get the normal list of news articles. On the left of the screen there's the archives section, and if you click on "all dates" then at the top you can choose "News Articles" or "Timeline." If you click on Timeline it gives a bar chart of the number of articles on the subject for each date. It can be really useful. For this subject there's practically nothing until the 1970s, but then picks up heavily in the 80's. Google Timeline

Kitt, that is cool. That is new to me on google too! And now it makes more sense. I guess I thought people knew not to drink while pregnant a lot longer ago...

my mother's doctor told her not to drink or smoke...and that was in the late '50s. She was pregnant for me!! We now believe that doctor was WAY ahead of his time....at the time he said no one really knew why, but babies whose moms drank and/or smoked had more trouble...were smaller... And she was having trouble getting pregnant, so he was doing ALL he could to ensure a safe pregnancy
