I love languages and speak Spanish very well. I love travel and eating out in foreign countries. I love learning and having intelligent thinking friends who can and do converse with knowledge and intelligence. I live in a school bus in Arkansas where my wife of 34 years and I raise chickens on two acres.

  • How do I solve this problem with my homepage?

    My homepage shows up as a blank with the title in the address bar as "about blank." I've gone to Tools and changed the homepage back to the default in Options there, clicked Apply and Okay, but the page always changes back to "about blank" in the address bar and remains blank. I've also tried to change my homepage back by using the Add or Change Homepage function next to little house on the toolbar, but, again, with no success. I've searched everywhere I can think of for someway to change from "about blank" to the one I want. I can't find anything else about how to do it and have no more ideas where to look or what to do. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    My home page reads "about blank" when I open IE and all that shows is a blank white background. I reset it eight or ten times in Options on the IE toolbar each time, but have had no success getting my homepage to open instead of the blank. Does anyone know how I can fix the problem?

  • Would an EMP destroy unprotected and ungrounded batteries? Would it damage them in any way?

    There are various kinds of batteries and I need to know whether any is more susceptible to an EMP than the others or if any battery not in a circuit or not grounded would be damaged at all. If damage is possible or probable, I'd like to know the kind and extent of the damage to expect. I making an assumption that car batteries still on the shelf and with no chemicals added yet would be undamaged. But I don't know. I'm assuming also that ungrounded large batteries in major installations might be safe and that smaller ones would such as flashlight batteries would probably be damaged. But, I don't know and would much appreciate good thoughtful comments.

  • Could false prophets be preaching the ideas of heaven and hell?

    Christians espouse the idea that anyone who doesn't believe the way they do will go to hell. However, by their own teaching from the Old Testament of the Bible, people shouldn't put up with or believe false prophets. The question is, how does one identify false prophets? Isn't it possible that they are inside the church and leading would-be Christians astray?

  • Can you help me learn French?

    I had a friend in Belgium who was emailing me in French, her language. She stopped a couple of months ago. I seriously want to learn French and need to have someone I can email, then chat, with. I am a beginner, but am using a French language program at home to help me. The best way to learn a language is by using it. Emailing and chatting, later, would help me learn French. Can anyone help me? Is anyone willing?

  • Do do you speak, read, and write French fluently?

    I have wanted to learn French for years. I speak, read, and write Spanish very well in addition to my native language, English. I've bought a couple of different programs to help me learn French, but find I'm not motivated to use them because of their repetitiousness. For a short time this year, I had a friend in Belgium who was emailing in French, her language, but hasn't replied to my emails for some time now. I seriously want to learn French and get really motivated when I have someone to exchange ideas with in that language. I am very much a beginner. Is anyone interested and willing to communicate by email, later in chats, in French, helping me to learn the language?

  • Have you received any emails about your computer sending out worms with your email?

    This came into my email just today. It sounds fishy to me. This is the email address that sent it, supposedly. secur@areainc.com There's an attachment I'm not opening which is identified as Update-KB6890-x86.zip (17KB).

    Mail server report.

    Our firewall determined the e-mails containing worm copies are being sent from your computer.

    Nowadays it happens from many computers, because this is a new virus type (Network Worms).

    Using the new bug in the Windows, these viruses infect the computer unnoticeably.

    After the penetrating into the computer the virus harvests all the e-mail addresses and sends the copies of itself to these e-mail

    addresses

    Please install updates for worm elimination and your computer restoring.

    Best regards,

    Customers support service

    This sounds very much like someone trying to get a worm into computers via email. What do you think?

  • Can you help me investigate a lottery operating on the Net?

    I have received some very convincing emails about supposed winnings from an on-line lottery. The emails have a link to a site bearing the same name as the emails and the site is very sophisticated, appearing to be authentic. The problem is, though the winnings seem to be substantial, the company supposedly handling the money transfer wants a large prepayment for its own fees, processing and insuring of the check which is to be sent by UPS. It has even generated a tracking number which is posted on a site bearing what appears to be the UPS logo. The prepaymetn is small compared to the winnings, yet, I am very leery.

    I don't want advice about it's a scam, etc. What I want is someone who knows how, and is willing, to investigate this company via the Net.

  • Me pueden ayudar investigar una lotería que opera por la red?

    Tengo una cantidad de mensajes email de una supuesta lotería diciéndome que he ganado algún dinero. He revisado el sitio indicado en el correo el cual encuentro muy profesional y convicente. Son sustanciales las supuestas ganancias pero la compañía "representante" de la lotería pide que la envíe $855.00 US por adelantados para cubrir sus gastos de tramitar y asegurar el envío del cheque. Se generó la UPS un número de identificación de rastreo para permitirme averiguar via la red su progreso.

    El problema es que no conozco ningún lotería a la cual se tiene que pagar por adelantado los tramites mas la aseguranza sobre el envío del las ganancias por correo o la UPS. Tengo mucho cuidado y quiero investigar la compañía lo tanto posible por el medio de la red.

    No busco consejos de que es un engaño ni nada semejante. Estoy conciente de las posibildades negativos que por tales quiero llevar a cabo una investigación sobre esta compañía.

    ¿Alguién me puede ayudar?
