I just finished reading a book called "Calico Captive" which is about a girl's and her family's struggles in the 1700s after being kidnapped by indians and then being sold to the French in Montreal. There are many ups and downs as well as a lot of love circling around in the air. It's a great story and you actually feel like you are a part of what is happening! So, next time you are placing an order at Amazon.com BarnesandNobel.com or somewhere else you might pick it up. I think there are quite a few Everyday Angels that would enjoy this great story that is based on a good bit of fact! Also, it is considered a young reader's book so if you are young don't worry about the difficulty. However, if you are an adult don't think it's a child story either! It's perfect for all ages! Truly! If you are really interested the link to it at Amazon.com is: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0440411564/f1alltheway/ Later...

"Yes, well, I'm having trouble with Word-perfect." "What sort of trouble?" "Well, I was just typing along, and all of a sudden the words went away." "Went away?" "They disappeared." "Hmm. So what does your screen look like now?" "Nothing." "Nothing?" "It's blank; it won't accept anything when I type." "Are you still in Word-perfect, or did you get out?" "How do I tell?" "Can you see the C:\ prompt on the screen?" "What's a sea-prompt?" "Never mind. Can you move the cursor around on the screen?" "There isn't any cursor: I told you, it won't accept anything I type." "Does your monitor have a power indicator?" "What's a monitor?" "It's the thing with the screen on it that looks like a TV. Does it have a little light that tells you when it's on?" "I don't know." "Well, then look on the back of the monitor and find where the power cord goes into it. Can you see that?" "Yes, I think so." "Great! Follow the cord to the plug, and tell me if it's plugged into the wall." "Yes, it is." "When you were behind the monitor, did you notice that there were two cables plugged into the back of it, not just one?" "No." "Well, there are. I need you to look back there again and find the other cable." "Okay, here it is." "Follow it for me, and tell me if it's plugged securely into the back of your computer." "I can't reach." "Uh huh. Well, can you see if it is?" "No." "Even if you maybe put your knee on something and lean way over?" "Oh, it's not because I don't have the right angle-it's because it's dark." "Dark?" "Yes-the office light is off, and the only light I have is coming in from the window." "Well, turn on the office light then." "I can't." "No? Why not?" "Because there's a power outage." "A power... A power outage? Aha! Okay, we've got it licked now. Do you still have the boxes and manuals and packing stuff your computer came in?" "Well, yes, I keep them in the closet." "Good! Go get them, and unplug your system and pack it up just like it was when you got it. Then take it back to the store you bought it from." "Really? Is it that bad?" "Yes, I'm afraid it is." "Well, all right then, I suppose. What do I tell them?" "Tell them you're too stupid to own a computer." ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 22 Sep 1999 10:06:14 -0400 From: Christopher Overholser Subject: ET: Poem (Riddle #9) This poem is a rather simple riddle.

Peate" Subject: ET: mourning periods i magasines in genovese teletubbies in waldbaum's, my mom leaving in tears our table at giancarlo's, where we quizzed each other on our habits the north-fork grill, where (brittany?) served us sweetly where a bicep flexed, less than discreetly will always call your name to me, sing your soul to me, fair, freckled shivergirl, faerie-spirit tara, with a love that will never go out or die. ii walking around, a death in my family the ignorant faces of strangers who do not see, or know, the tragedy-- some of them thinking similarly of their own fates, most of them thinking thoughts more mundane. there has been a death! there has been a death! i wish to cry out loud, for the sake of crying out loud, from the nearest rooftop, with a megaphone around the world, with the white house's greatest satellites. there has been a death, and my heart is shattered again. ***** a broken heart can hurt you more than having your hand cut off. ~jann arden ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 22 Sep 1999 17:15:35 -0700 (PDT) From: Jennifer Subject: ET: Poem (shadows) stumbling down steps towards fading light reaching for serenity darkness closes in- offers relief hiding from echos voices shouting - cover my ears light falls over my face I look into eyes that have no forgiveness memories already beginning to fade- retreating into blindness __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

When your subject said faddlefiddle, it cracked me up. When my brother gradutated, they put up this little sheet thing that he filled out when he was in 1st grade or something, and one of the questions was: What is your favorite thing to say? and he answered: Fiddle Faddle. It was so funny, and now becuase I feel like it, I'm going to go get it. =) ACK! Nevermind, it's not there. Oops! well, I just thought the fiddle faddle thing was funny.
