He and colleagues later caught and released 20 of the birds, the largest number ever recorded, the group says." <a href="http://www.mail.com/Article.aspx/world/asia/APNews/Asia/20100118/U_AS-Afghanistan-Rare-Bird?pageid=1" rel="nofollow">http://www.mail.com/Article.aspx/world/asia/APNews/Asia/20100118/U_AS-Afghanistan-Rare-Bird?pageid=1</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2735094423029416610.post-68942792706888036702010-01-18T16:39:29.680-06:002010-01-18T16:39:29.680-06:00... and the weather for you, Don?

What I would put on my list would be changes to make in my thinking; things that I would like to see happen, etc. More like the affirmations I was talking about. I believe in them wholeheartedly. I think the reason I put it off, is because once I do it, other things in my life will automatically change, as the new things start to happen. You know how it is. I guess I could say it's a bit like the domino effect.<br /><br />I think most of us here on this site, probably realize something we do, can indirectly (or directly) affect the rest of the world. Well, maybe I'm being a little too philosophical. Or not so much philosophical, as dramatic. I tend to get too dramatic sometimes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2735094423029416610.post-53013317064574830402010-01-18T16:02:31.739-06:002010-01-18T16:02:31.739-06:00I agree with Don, Chloe.

Very specific, and nice pics to go along with it.<br /><br />"Martin Luther King Jr. has now been dead longer than he lived. But what an extraordinary life it was.<br /><br />At 33, he was pressing the case of civil rights with President John Kennedy. At 34, he galvanized the nation with his "I Have a Dream" speech. At 35, he won the Nobel Peace Prize. At 39, he was assassinated, but he left a legacy of hope and inspiration that continues today." <a href="http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/special/mlk/index.html" rel="nofollow">MARTIN LUTHER KING and the Civil Rights Movement</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2735094423029416610.post-166542314099589322010-01-18T13:24:20.556-06:002010-01-18T13:24:20.556-06:00We have not had server go out.

Phone companies always equip for less than 100% connection. They try to provide service most of the time. They don't buy enough equipment to connect everyone if we all try to make a call at the same time.<br /><br />Same with customer service. They have no interest in helping you cancel, so they ender equip that office. And if you don't complain to your state utilities board, they have no reason to chance. Board complaints get their attention though.don1onehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03238362644274307579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2735094423029416610.post-33177752604676174052010-01-18T11:50:08.067-06:002010-01-18T11:50:08.067-06:00Carol,

We have gone round and round with both groups. Now, I don't try to call any more. I just go to their offices. It takes time. But I get so frustrated trying to do anything over the phone anymore b/c we have had same problem you are having. I love all the new technology. It makes life simpler in some ways. The problem is that the companies use technology instead of people now too.
