Many of us know about dragging the icon to the left of the URL to a folder to create a shortcut. This is my primary method because I keep so many bookmarks. What do you do what you can’t drag it? One example is Carbon Made, I’m not even sure what prevents it from being bookmarked this way, but it doesn’t.

Here is the trick, go to C:\Documents and Settings\YOURUSER\SentTo then open the start menu and navigate to Accessories. Right click and drag the Notepad shortcut over the folder for SendTo and release then select ‘Copy Here’. Make a copy of a bookmark, right click and select Send To -> Notepad. This will open the shortcut so you can edit it. Change the things you want to change and save it. You now have a shortcut to the page you wanted. You also have the ability to send absolutely anything to Notepad. I use this Notepad trick for a lot of things.

I am talking with one of my very very best friends in the whole world, Drew. I have missed her a great deal, we have lost touch because of our lives and schedules, but we are back in touch and that will hopefully never change. She had a baby not too long ago, and his name is Maddox. When my free time increases I’m on a non-stop flight to see my favorite girl.

I have 3 machines that I use on a normal basis and trying to stick to a policy of reinstalling windows every 5 or 6 months I have to reactivate Photoshop twice a year on two machines. My activations have run out and I have to call in every time because CS1 does not have an option to transfer activation and they will not reset my activation counter. I guess if you have a machine that all you do is write HTML maybe a little PHP and make some graphics you wouldn’t need to format as often, but if you actually use your machine things get screwed up quick. For some reason this install has been particularly bad so I just recreated my unattended install and I think it is a winner. According to the registry it has been about 2.5 months since my last install. That was when I moved my primary work to my desktop and I still do not know why the install went downhill so fast, but it will hopefully be different this time around.

My little girl met a new friend,
just the other day,
on the playground at school
between the tires and the swings

But she came home with tear-filled eyes,
and she said to me "Daddy, Alyssa lies"

Well I just brushed it off at first,
'cause I didn't know how much my little girl had been hurt
o'er the things she had seen.
I wasn't ready when I said "You can tell me"

and she said...

"Alyssa lies to the classroom,
Alyssa lies everyday at school,
Alyssa lies to the teachers
as she tries to cover every bruise"

My little girl laid her head down that night to go to sleep.
As I stepped out the room, I heard her say a prayer so soft and sweet
"God bless my mom and my Dad
and my new friend, Alyssa
I know she needs you bad

Because Alyssa lies to the classroom,
Alyssa lies everyday at school,
Alyssa lies to the teachers
as she tries to cover every bruise"

(bridge)

I had the worst night of sleep in years
as I tried to think of a way to calm her fears
I knew exactly what it was I had to do
but when we got to school on Monday I heard the news

My little girl asked me why everybody looked so sad.
The lump in my throat grew bigger
with every question that she asked.
Until I felt the tears run down my face
and I told her that Alyssa wouldn't be at school today

'Cause she doesn't lie in the classroom
she doesn't lie anymore at school
Alyssa lies with Jesus
because there's nothin' anyone would do.

Tears filled my eyes when my little girl asked me why
Alyssa lies.
Oh Daddy, Oh Daddy tell me why
Alyssa lies
