...... Don't you just hate the southern hemisphere this time of year... not sure what the temp get's like in Sth Africa but here... I don't know what's worse, the blazing sun or the humidity.
If you can get your hands on a kiddy pool and a shadecloth or if you have and shade in your yard you can let the kids entertain themselves that way. I'm an adult and i still have fun with the kiddy pool....  It seems to be the thing to do here in Australia... every second house has one. They're cheap and can be packed away when finished with. Throw in a few pool toys, water pistols... etc... the kids will get exercise and it will keep them cool.

		Feck! What a day! It's been so hot that I have no idea how to combat this heat. We've had the airconditioners on all day. It's 10:43pm now and they're still running. Zoey has moved back into our bed because our room is cooler than hers. But she takes up the entire bed. As little as she is, she decides who lies where. She spreads out so that she's untra-comfortable and we have to try to fit in around her little behind lol. Friday is their last day at playschool and it's so hot that I can't let them play outside. I'm not too keen on propping them up infront of a TV all day but we run out of games or activites and then I have no option. I can only let them out after 4pm sometimes only after 5pm.. It's that hot! Anyone got any ideas for me?

		Hi Michael, I hope you make you're way over here as I cannot write a PM. I can only post using the old 'standard version' as I don't have an up-dated computer and it won't allow me to do anything but 'Post'. I can read PM's, but that's it. To answer your question, my CPU automatically installed a 'Windows Update'. After it downloaded, the CPU went into 'Configuring Updates' mode. After that the CPU shut down to 're-start' , which is normal. However, the CPU failed to 're-start' and started to 'Configure Updates' again. Now it's in an eternal loop of re-configuring, shutting down and then re-configutres again. That's all it does. It won't let me re-boot or anything!!! Now, I've put together this monster of out-dated parts to get me to at least ck e-mails and make simple posts, but that's it...AND I'M GLAD TO HAVE THAT!!! I've missed all my friends here terribly, and 'sorry' Deep Freeze, but I don't have my spell check anymore either!!! (lol)
