Thanks to everybody who wished me a happy birthday. Unfortunately, little David did not get the memo. He kept us up from 2 to 4:30 am. Other than the lack of sleep, it's been a good day.

Ok, I've got a netbook that I like a lot. It has a 1.6 processor. I'm trying to watch some HD videos on it, but the audio and video don't match up. Upon looking up the problem, I discovered that it's because it needs a 2+ processor. The main desktop computer is powerful enough to play the video files, but I prefer watching on my netbook. I do have a wireless network in the house. Any suggested solutions (other than a new netbook- which ain't happening)?

I bought a new sippy cup and while reading the instructions (yes, it came with instructions) came across this: "Cups should be kept upright to ensure 100% spill-proof performance." I'm not sure what to say...

Rachel Ray is on Sesame Street. With dancing vegetables. What is the world coming to?

David's dinner tonight involved mashed potatoes. But, was not immediately followed by a bath. This makes me happy.

Someone please explain to me why when I put a plastic (microwavable) bowl with frozen pre-cooked (in the microwave) carrots in the microwave I got sparks.

I'm looking for a free video editing program. I don't need it to be fancy. Just enough to cut commercials and stuff like that. Any suggestions?

We're going to be going to the beach for a week long vacation this summer. I've been researching swim diapers. The reusable kind seem to run just under $10 each, and you can get a whole pack of the disposable kind for the same price. I want to know what you other mom's have figured out already. Are the reusable ones worth it or not?

...The song stuck in your head as you try to fall asleep is "Mary had a Little Lamb".


What would you fill in the blank with?

I have two problems that I'm hoping someone can help with.

First, Gmail keeps trashing my messages. Both messages in my inbox and messages I've already archived are ending up in the trash. I go to check my mail, and my inbox has been emptied of everything but the new un-read mail. I checked the trash, and my missing messages are there along with lots of my archived messages. I'm getting sick of moving things back to where they are supposed to be.

My second problem involves David. He's very good at rolling from his back onto his stomach, but he won't roll back the other way. He has done it in the past, but he won't anymore. He doesn't even try to rock side to side. He just flopps like an fish out of water, and then gets pissed about being on his stomach. I have to go rescue him and I'm also getting tried of that. I've tried practicing rolling with him. I've shown him how to roll over several times, but it's not sinking in.

I'd appreciate help on both of these matters. Thanks
