I work in a dental office and part of my job is to review treatment plans that we have given to patients, that have not yet been completed and to try to contact them to encourage them to get started on their dental work. I am amazed at all the treatment plans that I am coming across that are for children. Some of these kids have 7-8 large cavities and there parents haven't brought them back in to have the work done. I am hoping that the parents simply took the kids somewhere else to do the work, mabye somewhere cheaper. But one child's treatment plan that I came across was for a child who I actually remembered. The mom brought her in and said that the child had been living with her father, who had neglected her teeth. The child was only about 9 and had a huge cavity in an adult molar, and it was abcessed, and had numerous other cavities in her mouth. My dentist felt bad for the child, and offered to do the rootcanal for free. The mother never made an appointment for the child.

Even with all the talking heads of both sides trying to grandstand as usual the PEOPLE are dealing with the situation in a calm and orderly fashion.

When ill informed people shout that they should have the entire California national gaurd out fighting the fires the ones running the effort know thats not the way. You need to keep a lot of men in reserve so when the ones on line wear out and in that heat it wont take long, then you have several thousand fresh new men to go on line.

Even the State legislature has come together in true bi partisan ship to do the job.

True Americans at work.

People want him to keep coming back and everything but he walked out on us several times. He thought that he should get his way even when he could not go in the ring. He walked out after Wrestlemania when he wrestled Scott Hall because it wasn't a high up on the card match. The Rock even told him to get the F out so why does everyone want him to come back time and time again. I know he was a huge star and probably the 2nd biggest draw in the company next to the Rock, and I do like the guy but enough is enough I think. And he was suppose to wrestle Brock on Raw one night but decided to take his ball and go home again cause it wasn't an advertised match. Or with the JR and Coach storyline, he told Vince he wasn't coming since they wanted to put Coach over (with alot of help of course so they could continue that storyline). In 1999 and early 2000 he refused to work with people like Jeff Jarrett, Benoit, Angle, and Billy Gunn cause he said they were not in his league....

Have you wondered about those things? And Christian history? The prophecies of Daniel and Revelation? The judgment? The second coming of Christ? The lives and beliefs of early reformers? What about the USA in Bible prophecy?

All Bible based, with historical facts and quotes. A MUST read!

"The Great Controversy" http://heavenlylight.org/Bible_History/Online-Eng-GC/GC-Contents.htm

If that link doesn't work go to heavenly-light.org THEN to "Bible History"
The link to the book will be at the end of that page.

May you be blest by this wonderful book!

This elderly lady, recently widowed, decides to see if a pet will ease her loneliness and goes to the pet store. She decides against puppies, kitties, etc., and is about to leave the store when she hears a voice saying, "My, do you look lovely this afternoon, madam."

She turns around quickly to see who has spoken, but there is no one. All she sees is a big green parrot, resting on his perch in his cage. "Did you say that?" she asks.

"Why, yes, I did!" he replies. "And may I add that dress is a very nice color for you."

The lady suddenly realizes how nice it would be to not only have a talking parrot, but one that paid such nice compliments. So she pays for him and takes him home. On the way, she says, "You know, I am so proud of you that I believe I'll take you out for dinner! Would you like that?"

The parrot says, "Why yes, that would be delightful. I know a charming place on 7th Street."

So they arrive home and the lady progresses upstairs to her room to change for dinner, bringing the parrot along, of course. When the woman enters the building, the parrot begins complaining, swearing, and even bit her once.

Well, the woman is flabbergasted! She grabs the parrot by the throat, marches down the stairs into the basement, and stuffs the parrot in the freezer. She leaves him there in the freezer for five long minutes before taking him back out. The parrot is very cold.

She says, "Well? Have you learned your lesson? I will not tolerate such language in my house!"

The parrot says, "Okay, okay, I promise it won't happen again. I am deeply sorry."

Within five minutes, he is cursing again and bit her once on the arm and once on the finger.

The lady is absolutely stunned. She rips the parrot out of his cage, goes down the stairs, into the cellar, and, slam, into the freezer. This time, she leaves him in there for fifteen minutes.

When she finally takes him out, the parrot is one step away from death. He is shivering and has light frost on the beak. "I swear it will never ever happen again! I will never insult you again! I promise!" As he thaws, he looks up at the lady and says, "I do have one question though. That turkey in there, what'd he do, attack you?"

I am a Christian but I do not believe in choosing a demonination because we are all christains, but when asked I just say I'm christian but under no denomination. Why are there so many Christian domoninations but we believe in the same God? Do we not read from the same bible? What reasoning are there in having different demoninations? Why do some demoninations seem to dislike each other e.g Catholic vs Presbyterian or Lutheran vs Bapist? Are we not all Christians?

I have a guinea pig but I really want a dog. I grew up with a dog and hate being without one. The apartment I'm renting doesnt allow dogs and believe me I've tried to find a way around it but there are none. I don't have the option of moving for a couple of years but I don't know if I can go that long without a dog. I have tried volunteering at the animal shelter but that makes it worse. Does anyone have any ideas about how I can stop wanting a dog so much?

I need a simple batch file to work on XP that will go into a specific directory and delete all files and sub folders (including non empty directories).

Below is what I had and I thought it worked, but it deletes the root folder too. I need to keep the initial folder and delete everything else.

@ECHO OFF
rmdir "C:\test" /s

echo C:\test has been deleted successfully
echo Please inform the ISD technician that the system is ready

pause

Secondly, is there a way to make it NOT prompt for y or n on deletions? The less intervention of our endusers, the better.

I have been trying 2 years to clean them up. When you are young you do not think aboutthings like this but we are in our 30's and it DOES matter a lot. We are sick of living in an apartment. I want a yard, I want to be able to paint and change things. It has been my dream for awhile now. We can afford up to $950.00 house payment, although we have nothing down...as we are a working family of 2. We pay our bills now comfortabley but are not able to save much. Can someone please help us get to someone who will not turn their noses up or look down on us and really and truely cares about our dream?
Thanks
