It is only when they are behind us and done, that we begin to find that there is a sweetness to be tasted afterwards, and that the remembrance of unwelcome duties unhesitatingly done is welcome and pleasant. Accomplished, they are full of blessing, and there is a smile on their faces as they leave us. Undone, they stand threatening and disturbing our tranquility, and hindering our communion with God. If there be lying before you any bit of work from which you shrink, go straight up to it, and do it at once. The only way to get rid of it is to do it.<BR/><BR/>-Alexander MacLaren (1826–1910), Scottish preacher"<BR/><BR/>Granted, its just re-starting your computer but why put it off for another day? just get over and done with it and reboot...Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01385067178930906667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9313009.post-64469952218657080902009-01-26T19:39:00.000-06:002009-01-26T19:39:00.000-06:003c.

I'm currently using Chrome instead of IE because of the recent IE security breach scare. The downside is that I cannot open my hotmail emails through Chrome, even though I can see all the message headers. And this pesky little window header would pop up at the bottom left-hand corner of my screen and it says "javascript:;". I've tried to look under the Chrome tool box but cannot seem to locate anything that can solve this problem. I end up having to use IE again in order to access hotmail.
