What I did after school today!
Came home, let dogs out and in again. Then I called a lady back, the wife if a friend the Hubby works with, she wanted to pick my brain for a minute, 1:11:27 later I got off the phone.
Then I made a thing for this evening and while it was choculating (Yes it is a word, a new one, if Mrs. Bomby can make lavatation and chapelating, I can have choculating! Isn't English fun?) I checked e-mail. There was a really funny one about a guy who responded to telemarketers by acting like he was a cop on the crime scene of a murder and begins to grill the telemarketer like he was a suspect. . . By the time I was done on the computer, the chocolate was fully chocolated and I did whipped cream to go one it. . . won't you be sorry if you don't come tonight? heeheehee
Then I got a call on the prayer chain, called the next person in line and passed it on. The daughter in law of a lady at my church has been double wammied with pneumonia and whooping cough! OWCH! And ick.
By then the hubby was up, and I made him some coffee, sent him out to fix the horses feeder because now there is snow, now they get hay. Fixed feeder + hay = happy horsies!
So. . . that's my afternoon so far! Apparently I am now going to throw a ball for a corgi as she has just tossed it at me!
Concerning Youtube Videos
For those of you technically <(^.^<) inclined, here is a generic method of downloading Youtube videos.
As an after note, you will have to rename the file with an .flv extension.
If you have any further questions about the steps involved (I had to play around before I figured out exactly what the instructions meant), then just email me at tmatthurley@gmail.com.

A Few Fitting Words
Here are just a few well-put phrases, for your viewing pleasure.
“As for IE7, well, suffice it to say that if this were 2002, IE7 would be an adequate browser. However, the last time I looked at a calendar it was in fact 2007.”- AKAJohnDoe
Lol, what a burn on Microsoft!
“A wise person once said, ‘Slow and steady wins the race.’ And then I passed him.”- P. Baird
Joke's on him, eh?
“If pro is the opposite of con, than what is the opposite of progress?”- Mr. Boyd
Hmmmmmm =^)
“A fool and his money are soon partying.”- Anonymous
It's true!
“Do unto others before they do unto you.”- Anonymous
Sound advice...
“Frodo has been last seen on the run from elven rocket luancher”- Xyrom
What?

You can breath now!
Here it is, the eagerly awaited weekly feature!
What I did after school. . .
Came home, got the Hubby and went to Mrs. Moffit's for the full treatment, (AFTER going for coffee)! Came home from there and started some pasta for dinner. Sat down and read the Observer, watched a bit of the BBC news, ate some dinner, read the 2 e-mail messages from my sister, sent the Hubby up for his post-dinner, pre-work nap and went up to Enterprise for the 4-H Livestock Leaders and Superintendents meeting. There we discussed fascinating subjects like Beef Wash Racks, Sheep Scrapie Tags, various Judge suggestions, (I am thrilled, the great judge I requested is coming again, he's wonderful and Fair will go so well! Again!) Continuing discussions of Fair Ground Maintenance, Sound System Issues, Shear Dates, Weigh In Dates, Wool Pool issues, how the county Judging team did at the U of I judging contest, (3rd, 4th, and 5th) and upcoming workshop and training events. A productive meeting in all!
Came home, flashed my lights at the Hubby as we passed each other on the road, feed dogs, let dogs out, let dogs in, turned Mystery on to watch the end of the Inspector Lindley Mysteries, found it was one I'd already seen so turned on some music instead, sat down and began this epic account.
There, I've done my part to further literacy among our students!
On a new note, you might all put Mr. Moffit on your prayer list, his knee is giving him fits again, it is very painful and the thing that can be done to help it, won't cure it.

PAN Day '07
Better late than never.
Yes, today is PAN Day, marking the 2nd anniversary of Providence Academy News. It's been a great two years. I'm sorry, but I don't have any promotions running ;-)
This is how Providence Academy News began as I remember it. On November 11, 2005, I was bored, I guess. It was lunchtime. So, I sat down and created a WordPerfect document. Providence Academy News. The first piece of news was pretty mundane, reporting Matthew, Dusty, and Isaiah getting in trouble.
Since then, the document expanded and some people actually did read it. The next year came WikiProv. But it was hardly used. And then: wikiprov.blogspot.com. Providence Academy News is back.
So, two years. What are your thoughts?
I uploaded a copy of the PDF to our Bravenet free website. It's a direct link, unlike the Box.net link. So, here is the PDF. Enjoy!
Hmmm, the links seem to be having problems. Blogger probably will fix the problem. Until then, here's the PDF:

The time has come for joy and feasting...
Huzzah! The dell technician has been here and gone, leaving my laptop a better computer =^)
1. He arrives, bearing a new motherboard and new speakers.
2. He tears the laptop into pieces, pulling out the existing motherboard and speakers.
3. He installs the new motherboard and speakers.
4. He bids adieu and starts to pull out of the driveway.
5. I boot up the computer and note that the wireless is not connected.
6. I note that the wireless switch/wifi catcher is jammed in the 'catch networks' mode (neither on nor off).
7. I run frantically down the driveway to arrest his departure.
8. He comes back into the house and attempts to slide the wireless switch into place by opening the case slightly.
9. It doesn't work.
10. With a sigh, he dismembers the laptop once more, fixes the problem and reassembles it.
11. He leaves.
And now, I have yet to experience the stuttering problem ;-)
But the best part is: I had always been less than pleased with the performance of my headphone jacks- they crackled and whined, but I accepted it as normal laptop jack performance. However, after the motherboard was replaced, the sound through my headphones is glorious! Thus confirming my suspicion that all of the problems were stemming from a faulty sound card.
Let mirthful laughter abound!!
Joy to the world, peace and goodwill toward men and Dell!!
Let there be wine and feasting!!
Jesus has crushed the Dragon's head, and we are invited to his Wedding feast!!
He has led captivity captive, and will bring His bride, the Church, into a new kingdom, a kingdom undefiled and that shall not pass away!!
Amen.
(Yes, I am very happy.)
