    Will you loose your internet?...

    Check your router settings. You may be able to get that for free. I have a Netgear router and can get Parental Controls for free if I want them. Though, admittedly, NetNanny is probably more robust.

    Will you loose your internet?...

    I will have to respectfully disagree with this. As an individual who does computers for a living (currently corporate server systems), I find that the stuff you pay for is really no better than some of the ones you can find for free on the internet. I personally use AVG Anti-Virus (free...

    Nathan...

    Hey IADad and all - Thanks for the thoughts. Things have been interesting to say the least. My life is nothing but work, quick stop at home, then off to the hospital. The little guy has been up and down - more ups than downs though. He's battling a brain bleed, which seems to be getting...

    Nathan...

    Thanks ladies..I'll send you the link. M2M - Yes, it's the ventilator that vibrates. It's interesting because at his size, the ventilator vibrates his entire little body. But it's doing really well to open up his lungs and help him breath better.

    Latest - Heather is doing pretty well and will hopefully be discharged on Monday. She'll obviously be off work for a while. Nathan is on a different type of ventilator to help his lungs stay more open...thus allowing him to learn to breath better. His vitals are still strong, and he's...

    Nathan...

    Yeah Jeremy, she had 2 doses of steroids before delivery. That was really helpful because of lung development. Definite plus to get those in beforehand. Today, they're taking out the breathing tube and putting a breathing mask on him...that's also a really good sign. He came through the...

    I'm bumping these photos down toward the bottom so you have to scroll down to see them. I wanted to make sure you had a disclaimer, because these photos aren't easy for some people to see...including me. But, he's doing alot better than the pictures would lead you to believe...

    Update...

    Thanks all... he's doing pretty good and he's going to be a fighter. We haven't told Delaney yet because we want her to be able to concentrate (from my years here, you all know Delaney will be stressed to the maxed). I am going to tell her today when I pick her up from school and take her to...

    What role does technology play in parenting?...

    As a technology enthusiast (it's my career), I can' t imagine my life without it. I always have my smartphone on me...I go nowhere without some connection to the outside world. Even when I go camping, I have my laptop and a broadband card. Technology can be great in many aspects. My...

    My new job......

    I went with the one that's larger and further away. Ultimately, I believe that it's a more stable company with better growth opportunity.
