Re computer screens. If you do a MN search on the words "computer screens upside down" you get some very similar problems solved.

The first one I saw was to go to control panel, display, settings and change the screen resolution. But there are other suggestions too, if that doesn't work!

CaptainDippy · 25/02/2008 11:55

Totally no time to catch up, but just bookmarking - hello!! Computer is still being a complete bugger Just been extremely technical and turned the wretched thing off and on again and after 40 mins it has finally let me into MN - Not sure how long it will last though and I have a hungry P to feed, so got to buzz again. Hope everyone is doing ok ....... much happier and healthier in DippyLand, which is good. DH away on course for three weeks now ; but becuase my little big girl is four today!!!! When did she get so big - and ooooooh, I just looked at the computer clock and she was born exactly two mins ago, four years ago today!!

Ouch!!!!! Twenty mins time I'll in theatre being stitched up!!!

I had an e-mail from Dippy whilst her pc was playing ball and she asked me to pass on a request for prayer for her best friend. Very sadly her friend's husband has left her. They have four children, the youngest just a few months old Please pray for comfort and strength and for Dippy as she tries to support her.

MaryBS · 25/02/2008 18:01

That's awful NL, prayers for that family...

Just a flying visit. Went to S's funeral this afternoon, it was very poignant, and I really felt for M., his widow. S. was 81, but do you know, we sang "Shine Jesus Shine"? It was so touching.

Another lump to my throat. DS has just sung this all the way through, which shows he IS absorbing things at church, even though it isn't always obvious:

FATHER GOD I WONDER
HOW I MANAGED TO EXIST
WITHOUT THE KNOWLEDGE
OF YOUR PARENTHOOD
AND YOUR LOVING CARE
BUT NOW I?M YOUR SON
I AM ADOPTED IN YOUR FAMILY
AND I CAN NEVER BE ALONE
?CAUSE FATHER GOD
YOU?RE THERE BESIDE ME

CHORUS:
I WILL SING YOUR PRAISES
I WILL SING YOUR PRAISES
I WILL SING YOUR PRAISES
FOR EVER MORE
I WILL SING YOUR PRAISES
I WILL SING YOUR PRAISES
I WILL SING YOUR PRAISES
FOR EVER MORE

Better go, DD has Brownies...

NorthernLurker · 25/02/2008 18:17

ok Mary - that's weird - I have been singing that to myself all day! Haven't sung it at church for ages - it is lovely. So pleased you have had this example of what your ds is taking in - how encouraging!

CaptainCaveman · 25/02/2008 18:51

I love that one Mary! The worship group often sing it and it is just Fab. Always make me and is sung at top volume!

Praying for your friend CD, how very .

OOOOOOH, could you please say a prayer for us at 6.30 tomorrow evening - we have a lady coming to view the house. If it is God's will, I pray that they like our house enough to want to buy it. Tia xx

Headache been around all day again but seems to have gone since I had to clear up stinky cat poo when I got home! Maybe the stink cleared my sinuses out . Trust me, it was a foul task....

NorthernLurker · 25/02/2008 18:55

CC - am going to sound really paranoid and over-worrying - but you did wear gloves with the cat poo didn't you?

CaptainCaveman · 25/02/2008 18:58

No, and I never washed my hands after either..... Seriously though, thank you for your concern. Yes I did wear gloves (and wash my hands after). Dh won't clean it up as he actually vomits. Then I'd have to clean up the poo plus his sick!!

NorthernLurker · 25/02/2008 19:02

Phew - I was sure you would have - just concerned that confronted with large pile of cat poo you might have got...carried away Dh vomits does he? Men - honestly, can't live with them, can't put them out with the bags on bin day

My sinuses are congested too - it's foul isn't it - and I can't take any of the good drugs because of breastfeeding Will pray for house viewing - is the one you like still available?

MaryBS · 25/02/2008 19:20

Another dreadful dreadful product:

Holy water anyone?

ZipadiSuzy · 25/02/2008 20:10

Prayers and thank to you all, computer says 'YES' I took it to work and a kind collegue sorted it out.

CC - Oooooooh prayers, hope the viewing went ok, and I hope your 'HEADACHE' has gone!

CD - prayers for your friends breaking up, extra sad when children are involved

That is fantastice mjim, how truly inspiring to hear of your faith and your happiness because of your faith.
Great news with the pg too!

House viewing is tomorrow...and yes, the house we like is still available. I'm praying it all over to God though, for it will be so if it is meant to be.

Praise God - my friend has leant me her doppler and we just listened to the baby's heart beating away. It is such a miracle to think of the little child of God growing in my tummy, and that God already knows him/her, and has plans for him/her!! Wow. It really blows my mind. 15w4d today, where is the time going!?

Just off to click on your holy water link mary.....

Oh Mary - I read that as PROJECT - so I was a bit confused....!

Hi to everyone - great mjim - hope you continue to be so jolly

Praying for house move etc CC

I'm supposed to be working - so a flying visit!

MaryBS · 26/02/2008 07:32

LOL Worz! Are you feeling better now?

SS - just wondering how you are? Praying for strength and peace of mind for you.

CC - praying that all goes well with the viewing

MJIM - I'll join you in praising God! God is GOOD!

Notquitegrownup · 26/02/2008 09:27

Good morning all. What a beautiful sunny morning! Sending a bit of virtual sunshine to any who are under clouds at the moment.

I can't believe that holy water, Mary!!! (Though I was tempted to see if they had one which turned into wine, once you served it up!) CTB on its way to you, by the way -and Sooz, I popped a little packet into the post to you today too, which I promised to send you ages ago .

Special prayers for CD's friend and her children, for your houseviewing CC, and for everyone on this thread.

Hi Mufti, DO and anyone else not posting at the moment.

mufti · 26/02/2008 09:36

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NQGU
still younger than me i fear
no heat or water in the mufti house, boiler died yesterday, got the gas man here at the mo, praying he can fix it, he did ask if it was on when he came in, and needs the manual, which worries me a little
got a fire in though which helps for warmth , and its not so cold, and although i don't like them, i thank GOD we have an electric shower, so i dont smell, as i couldnt bathe.
thinking of you all.

Notquitegrownup · 26/02/2008 09:53

Thank you Mufti. I think we are twins actually!

Prayers for a mended gas boiler soon for you.

DutchOma · 26/02/2008 11:25

Sorry for not showing up on the board for a while. Both Bob and I went down with this d&v bug yesterday morning and are still not eating today.
Could I ask for prayers for SS, she is struggling much with all sorts of issues and finds even coming onto the prayer board a challenge.
Also for OJ and Steve, I struggle with that, never mind them while they are going through it.
Happy birthday NQGU

Notquitegrownup · 26/02/2008 11:35

Thank you DO. Hope that you feel better soon.

Special prayers for SS, for Steve and OJ, and for you guys to get better soon too.

Praying M22

DutchOma · 26/02/2008 14:32

MyjobisMum, there is an e.mail address on my profile. If you use that I can get back to you if she doesn't mind.

M22 what a difficult situation. Praying God's protection over your mind and your emotions. Surely even if the man is allowed in your area, he is not allowed to talk to you??
Hope you soon feel a bit calmer.
