  1. When I originally commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get three e-mails with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove me from that service? Bless you!

  2. A few things i have observed in terms of computer memory is the fact there are specs such as SDRAM, DDR and many others, that must fit in with the requirements of the motherboard. If the pc’s motherboard is reasonably current while there are no operating system issues, changing the memory literally usually takes under 1 hour. It’s among the list of easiest personal computer upgrade types of procedures one can visualize. Thanks for revealing your ideas.

I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put the shell to her ear and screamed.
