I need to know what anti-virus program to put on my laptop (window 7)…i’m like really uneducated about this whole thing. Tell me what to get and how to install it properly. I decided I’d do better [...] I’m loving Google Voice. I have a Google voice number that I use. I rings my home, office, and mobile simultaneously. Unanswered, the call goes to Google voicemail which transcribes and alerts me via text message. Love that! I’ve even replaced my mobile phone’s native voicemail service with Google’s.

I compromised in the title, but will try to keep the rest in English for you. I posed the question to my kids at dinner [...] In June of 2008, the user “CelticWildFlower” posted an interesting question in comment to another posting. Do you know if there are any great forms to use when planning the weekly music? I’d like to have a more organized way of keeping track—mainly so I don’t repeat my personal favorite hymns!
