Whinging and other things

Stupid bloody home computer is still not working. Husband came home with an XP disc to try and re-load the program, but something is corrupted and it won't work. V. frustrating.

Charlie started his summer school program today. It's from 8am - 12pm, and the bus picks him up from our house and will drop him off at the sitter's. He likes school, so he was happy.

AAAAH! FIRE DRILL!

Happy Birthday Your Holiness

Thanks to zakkati for pointing this out to me.

It's the The Dalai Lama's birthday today.

He's 70 years old, and looks in good health. My birthday wish for him is to be able to go back to an independent Tibet sometime soon.

In honor of HH the Dalai Lama, here are a few recent quotes from my calendar:

I believe in humanity, and its level in a person is more important than his or her belief or faith.

Hatred comes from past lives. It is not grounded like wisdom and compassion and can therefore be uprooted and removed.

One can't achieve happiness merely through education and knowledge, though they are important, but should also imbibe compassion and nonviolence.

When I say that human nature is gentleness, it is not 100 percent so. Every human being has that nature, but there are many people acting against their nature, being false.

Many difficulties arise from ideological or even religious conflicts, and men fight each other for means and methods, losing sight of their human ends and goals.

Free Tibet.

I am mostly posting because I want to share my new icon that I pretty much made all by myself using the picture from this website that sells the stickers, because, well, it's cool.

So, since technically it is my icon, if anyone wants it they can take it.

We in the office ordered pizza today, because it was that kind of a day and we got to talking about events in history - one woman was sharing her rememberances that started with President Kennedy getting shot and moving on from there. We all pretty much cover a decent age range, so it was fun seeing who remembered what. This made me decide to do the following poll, covering a couple of events from the 60's to the 80's to see what ya'all remember or at least know about. So...enjoy.
