My husband uses something to spy on our kids when they are online.   He can log in to his computer either on his lap top or at work and then follow their conversations if they are talking on messenger or writing emails.   He said he can even manipulate the cursor so it messes with them.  He thinks it's funny.

It makes me wonder now if he is doing the same thing to me because I notice my cursor go crazy occasionally when I'm working.  How can I tell if he has it on mine?

I already asked him point blank if he was doing it to me and he denied it of course but I don't believe him.

I have been trying to open a video of a speech my nephew gave and cannot get my computer to open it.  It asks what program to open it with (or if want to do a Internet search), and I have tried both.  The Internet thing didn't come up with anything I found useful, and my own computer only has Windows Media Player, which did not work.

My sister says it works on hers ... it does not even ask what to open; simply opens and plays.  She cannot tell what program it is using. 

The file says it's a MP-4 auto file if that helps.

Thanks for any help you can give me. 

I wonder if Pebble Tech is the right choice.  One adult, four animals, 1400 sq. foot.  What I am concerned about is being able to keep it clean and how comfortable they are to walk on with bare feet.  Cost is fairly reasonable when compared to tile and the look I like (the beach!).

Anyone have experience with this type of flooring?  Will it make my home look like a business rather than a home?  Is keeping it clean a hassle? 

Thank you much!

In Blacksburg, VA.  Someone went on a shooting rampage and he and at least 20 others are confirmed dead.  My son is in high school but was there today on a field trip.  He and his class were walking on campus when a professor took them to a safe room in the basement of a building.  My son used his cell (wasn't supposed to have it with him but thank goodness he did) to call my hubby, and he came home from work to tell me.  I of course went all to pieces but am a little better now. Just can't imagine what the parents of the other students are going through. They are now allowed to leave as soon as the can find the bus and bus driver.  He was sent to another part of the campus.  Just needed to talk about this a little.  Thanks for listening. 

Since you all have great volunteering ideas, I thought I'd pick your brains about what to give high tech men who have everything for Christmas.

but not in a good way.  Your humor makes me laugh!  Hope your wife didn't stay mad long.  Another good mark for you, at least you didn't lie or omit that you're married.  Hey use some of that money you saved from the butler and buy your wife some flowers to replace that frying pan she's chasing you around with  

Keep up the great jokes though, you make this board what it's supposed to be, fun!
