Hello, I recently had the chance to be acquainted with an 83 year old person. His health condition prohibits him from walking for long periods, and even standing for a short length of time causes him discomfort. He uses a cane when walking, and he walks at a snail's pace. He can see, but not very well. He is very lonely, has no other relatives to visit him, is often low in spirits, and is currently confined to the quarters of the Jesuit community where he is a retired priest.
I plan to visit him often in the future, and would also like to cheer him up. So my question is this, how do I cheer up a person such as my friend here? Is there anything I can do to at least drag him out of the monotonous life he's living? He's no crank, that's one of his qualities. Last week I went there, we mostly ran out of topics to talk about, and it got embarrassing. We can't talk about the same things over and over everytime I go there, that's for sure. Guys, I need your help, any suggestions?

My son is 14 and he believes that my ex husband is his father. We have been divorced for 2 years and our family has been through a lot. my son already feels angry towards my ex husband for not being around as much anymore. I keep putting off this conversation because I can't figure what to say, how to say it...

Additionally, His biological father says that he remained out of his life to protect our family and didn't want to cause problems. But now that my ex-husband is not around he wants to be part of my sons life.

as many reference to the BEATLES as possible? (Song titles,characters in songs,family members,etc.) This is NOT impossible and I guarantee you will have fun doing it.

"white " about light skin Negroes being treated better than dark skin folks. I ended the conversation when I realized that she saw absolutely nothing wrong with being treated better, by both black and white cultures, because her skin was light. Would this surprise you like it did me?

Why was there little warning for the 2oo4 Tsunami on Boxing Day? Would it have made a difference had there been a system such as in the Pacific? [Research this and answer please ;)]

The technological singularity is approaching. What science fiction books do you recommend for the purpose of mentally preparing for, and affecting, what according to singularitarians like Ray Kurzweil may happen during the coming 40 years or so? I want science fiction that treats issues on the coming continuingly accelerating technology development and its political consequences, stuff that is interesting for humanity's development; paradise engineering scenarios as well as disaster scenarios. I want the kind of hardcore, science-based but still mind-blowing science fiction ideas that singularitarians say may be relevant to our political (and also individual) decisions in our REAL life the coming decades.

My platform is Windows XP Pro. (Spain).

I was unable to obtain a french platform and settled for a spanish platform as I know a little spanish. (Would prefer that the person who can help me reply in english).

The past four months since I installed the new platform I have always received my critical updates. Microsoft validates my platform an I no problems.

This past friday Microsoft installed a complete WGA program and took an inventory of my entire system. (My platform passed the WGA).

Now everytime I reboot my pc I get this window in spainsh as shown below. I have removed from start, "desktop" and from file search. No matter what I do this pop-up continues to appear on reboot. Causes no problems with pc. Just annoying.

How can I stop this pop-up?. And what may be the cause?. (Seems to be only information as shown below.


[.ShellClassInfo]
LocalizedResourceName=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-21787

Thanks to all in advance

Melissa Busekros was dragged away from her family for "school fobia", because she was homeschooled, and that is against the law where she lives. (Before you make comments, please read the article at http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=54425)

Are Christian homeschoolers subversive? What should be Christians response to these actions?
