Saints for ever

For the love of Saints. Saint Bernard's that is. I am now the proud owner of 2 of the best.


better known as Sir Winston he is a rough (long) haired saint that already weighs in at 45 pounds at 15 weeks of age. That's already a lot of dog. he will be close to 200 pounds by the time he is full grown which takes two years for Saints as they come under the giant breed. he a big mucky sloppy adorable dog that we have come to love so very much. Then there is our lady Sandy. she's a smooth coat(short hair) and smaller in build then our Win but a true Lady she has such a way with her that you have to love as well. She knows how to keep the boys in line. She is so sweet. She is about 38 pounds at 15 weeks so she will be a big girl around the 140 mark when full grown, She will not be so big in built but tall.
They have been here for just over a month and have grown so much in such a short time.

And No we do not intend to breed them that's not why we got them. But to have them as pets. We had thought about showing Winston but I don't think that will happen he is to just be part of our Family.

So now we have 4 yes 4 wonderful dogs in our family. A 2 yr old Pom named Bruce. and a 1 year Black toy Poodle named Eddy (trouble). That with a rabbit and 3 birds we have a full house, But it is all ways fun. My yard has turned in to a mine field. they come in covered in mud every time it rains and I don't care. My 3 kids adore they pet and the pets we hope adore us.

Trying to find a good browser

OH! That should be easy I hear many say. If only that was true.
I have now 3 browsers on this laptop.
The first of course is the one we all love to hate the IE. Which as many know is like an old man. Very unreliable and temperamental at times but you just can't give him up. I hate it when I see a new update come in for it, I know that means trouble before I hit install but like most I go a head and let it install and update. Bingo! it crashes on the first try after. So then I wait for the next fix just hoping that may help. Oh! why do I kid myself it just make it worse.
So as many has done I got FireFox http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/ . Which is (was) a good browser. I started with the 2.? but as some one that just can't leave a good thing alone went and got the new update to the 3.o Bad idea. it does not allow googlies tool bar anymore and some other plug-ins I like to use. so I had to un-install and have gone back to the old FireFox. Which is fine I like the way it works but I been wondering if it is as safe as it says so in the need for the best and safest browser out there ( I have young kids surfing) I went out there to see if there is anything else and yes there is. The one I have found is Called Opera http://www.opera.com/browser/ . At first it looks (in words of my kids) Cool. I can change skins add widgets, It has some really nice features. and I played around with it for hours trying out all it had to offer. It moved my bookmarks over as well so not bad. But and to me this turned out to be a big but. I was unable to sign in to blogger???? no matter what I tried it would not let me in googlies just keep asking for me to sign in over and over. So until I can sort that out I'm back in (I hate to say this) IE.
I'm tempted to even try googlies new browser chrome http://www.google.com/chrome/intl/en/features.html, but it's new and as much as I know about PC I try to steer clear of new as much as possible until others have had a good chance to try it out. OK I'm a bit of a chicken sometimes, Like others to try it first. Like my cooking I let Hubby try it out first. But I bet by the end of today I will down load it. So I will be back to say what I think I hope I will get back any way.
well talking of cooking it's that time that I have to put down the mouse and pick up the saucepan.
so time to do spellcheck ( OK I can't spell to save my life but I can make a mean cottage pie).

New year on it's way

Well Christmas is over and now we look forward to the new Year and all it will being with it. Let hope for a good one for everyone on this planet we call home. We all know it has it's ups and downs but it all we have so, We can just hope and pray for peace and a better way of life or get and do all we can to make it happen. We don't have to go fare in the world to do something good for others. talking about things that others are doing or not doing will not help, we all have to do our part. I for one will try to do my part as small as it may be. Raising my kids to understand other people and to understand that just because others may be different don't make them bad. Just stop and think be for you say things that may hurt others, goes a long way in this world. being kind and not hurtful. I hope people that use the Internet to put out their opinion think be for they type in the coming year. I have seen and read some really hurtful things on the Internet over the past year.
I for one am doing what I can to help clean up this planet. Green is not just a colour it's a way we can help to make this world last for everyone that will be here long after we have gone. I'm not one to spend a lot of money on the in-things. You don't have to spend to go green. last year I started simple things like recycling to the point that we no longer have a trash pick-up we don't need one anymore everything that can be recycled is. I'm saving a lot of money as well. So what comes around goes around. We changed light bulbs out last year and saved again. Even that gas prices have gone down don't mean we go back to the old ways as well.
Well that's my two cents worth for the New Year.
I hope every ones dreams come true and it's a good year for us all.

Restored the laptop

Well not something I wanted to do but had no choice. Had so many things going wrong it was the best way out. Never had any virus or anything but something messed up the old gal. so got the disc out and wiped her clean as a new born babe. she is working great now just got to reload allot of programs and I will be happy again. lucky I got a good back up so never lost anything. It's going to be slow going for a couple od days but I should be good by the end of the week. I think my Chris had been playing with it the other day that may have had something to do with it.
