Adam Walsh, Case Closed

It is good to hear that the Walsh family will now be able to close the door (but not their hearts) on this unresolved tragic crime that was committed so long ago to their six year old son.At last they have finally closed the books and the case is now fully and completely through and done with. Too bad that the real criminal is all ready in Hell, I’m sure that they were plenty of people that would have liked to be there for his finale words and breath in this screwed up world.

This poor family has suffered for so long and have done such great things due to this horrific tragedy, I commend them all and wish them the warmest seasons greetings this year.

IP Addresses and your computer

I have to tell you that I am pretty familiar with computers, we have had a PC in the house for over twelve years, at least, but who is counting? Hubby and I both use computers and work and of course we use it quite a bit a home for all kinds of reasons, email being the most important.

But when it comes to the complicated issues over and above are basic needs neither one of us really have a limited knowledge of a lot of things. I do have a brother who is a computer whiz, if any family member needs assistance, he is the one that we call.

Over the family Thanksgiving dinner, that was held a few weeks ago, we heard my brother discussing computer issues with another family member, which caught my husband’s attention and he ended up sitting in on the conversation, which included the topic of IP addresses and the like.

It appears that the IP address is very important to some people so that they can identify their visitors geographical location, their country, their zip code, time zone, connection speed and much more. This is fascinating information that hubby and I were completely unaware of and has us wanting to learn more. My brother instructed my hubby to visit Ip2location.com, a website dedicated to IP address information, and it is full of good information that I think is worth while to pass on to others here.

One holiday dinner down, one to go….

I have had my hands full this past week, it was my turn, this year, to host the family Thanksgiving Turkey Dinner and I think that I pulled it off without a single hitch. We had a total of 23 family members attend, plus my whole gang, along with a few of their friends that attended as well, which put us at a grand total of 30! I’m so glad that I don’t have to do that again for a few years, and someone else is hosting the Christmas dinner that is coming in less than a month.

Everyone had a nice time, hassle free, no drama and now we have a refrigerator full of those wonderful holiday season leftovers to enjoy. The kitchen wasn’t completely cleaned up before hitting the sack, and I was pleased and surprised to see that when I got up this morning that someone had gone the extra mile last night and finished up what I was planning on doing this morning, and no one is fessing up this morning, so I have no idea who to thank and give special hugs and kisses to for their random act of kindness that is so appreciated by me today.

Marlo Thomas

Once in a great while I’ll record our NBC’s program “The Today Show”, to that I can enjoy some of the stories and features that are some times really interesting, entertaining, and educational, later on when I get a chance.

I have been a fan of Marlo Thomas for as long as I remember, from the days of seeing her on “That Girl” and have tried to follow her career through out the years. This morning she was on “The Today Show” talking about the foundation that she has gotten so heavily involved in for many years, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. I haven’t see her in some time and almost didn’t recognize her, but after she talked started in all started to fall into place, and still looking good, must be pushing 60 by now I’d think.

I think her Dad would be proud of all she has accomplished and has done with her life and talents.

Goblins and Ghosts

Tonight we had bunches of kids come to the house for trick or treating. I think there were twice as many as last year. We live in a nice neighborhood with a lot of kids, but I really think we had kids coming to the door that live far from here. There were cars lined up the street for 3 blocks as the parents drove slowly along watching their kids. I think it was good that they were staying with their kids, but why couldn’t they get out and walk along with the kids? They could probably have used the exercise and it would have been quality time with the kids.

We gave away a lot of candy. Glad that I stocked up at the warehouse club a couple weeks ago – we probably spent over $60 in candy for the kids. But it was fun seeing all the costumes. My favorite was a little blonde girl about 3 years old dressed like a princess with a flashing magic wand. She was absolutely adorable.

More Movies

After I had a chance to think about it, I realized that there are some more movies that I love.

One of the classics is “Cool Hand Luke.” When I first watched that movie I came away with pure hatred for cops and our prison system. I still feel strongly about that, too.

Another that I absolutely love and came watch over and over again is “The Thirteenth Warrior.” The book was horrible – its a huge tribute to the movie director that he could see past the book and envision a movie from it. Fantastic look into the character of REAL men.

I’m sure I’ll think of some more really good movies that I’ve missed.

Today’s horoscope – Libra, that’s me

Libra

October 25, 2012                      I’m Libra

Winning the battle is not nearly as important as just making an effort to win, right now, so push yourself, but not too hard. You don’t have to prove yourself to others, now. You just have to keep doing what is right for you. You have a deep well of untapped potential, but there is no hurry to bring it up to the surface. Just take your time and appreciate the smaller things in life. Those mountains you want to climb aren’t going anywhere anytime soon!

Good Movies

Everyone must have a short list of movies that are their favorites. If I asked you to pick five or maybe 10 movies that you would want to keep at home to watch over and over again, what would they be? Some people call that your deserted island picks. There are a lot of movies that I like for different reasons. My desert island picks would have to include:

  1. Raising Arizona
  2. The Usual Suspects
  3. Star Wars
  4. Finding Nemo
  5. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
  6. Under the Tuscan Sun
  7. The Matrix
  8. Tombstone
  9. The Blues Brothers
  10. Animal House

Cowboys

I don’t know what it is about cowboys, but I have always admired the men who live that life. I think the men who can handle anything that comes up are the sexiest ones. The ones who aren’t afraid to work hard and play hard, and fight for what they believe in. I love cowboys.
