Today [3]

Nice numbers, Doc. I'm also closing a good number...

Is Google trying to look like Bing today? Don't like it, I can't even read what is there.
There are other themes, I am trying to find the blank one back...

Wally - set-up iGoogle the way you want it and you'll never have to suffer the screen of the day again.

Great snip Doc lucky sevens

I am not on a very good mood today.

Start of the summer has been very boring. All our plans are on ice, due to my mother-in-laws worsened health situation. Judging by the weather it could be October now; mostly cold and windy, raining at least three days out of every five.

Sitting home, not able to help Angie as much as I wanted with her mother. Angie tells me to pack for a few days and go see my family in Finland or travel somewhere else, which we both know I could not do; making even a short trip and leaving her alone to cope with her mother would leave her without extra help when need arises, and give me a bad conscience.

I try to do what I can. I cook and clean home, try to be nice to my wife when she comes home exhausted after a long day with mother. She knows I would like to do more, but we have to think my dear mother-in-laws dignity; she does happily accept my help as long as it's Angie who takes care of her hygienic needs and clothing. What I do is mostly shopping, bringing groceries, take care of her bills etc.

The most difficult thing in this is to see how sad Angie is. She can not help to think that this might be the last summer mother is with us, and it's taking its toll on her.

Thanks Nigel
I have iGoogle too, I think I will just stick to it.
Funny that they changed one of their iconic features, the clean home page, and don't let you get it back. Strange....

Sorry to hear about your mother in Law Kari. Tell Angie our prayers are with her.

Kari, I would like to add my thoughts to Wally's at this trying time

Kari,
I know what your wife and you are going thru as I provide all the care for my wife 24/7. She is bedridden with progressive MS and do all the hygenic care, cooking and the whole nine yards. My wife would do the same for me.
Our prayer's and thoughts go with you both thru these difficult times.

Bottom left corner wally, you should be able to get it back.

Edit: I can't seem to do it either, I think I'll go with Nigel's suggestion.

Sorry wally I should have tried it first.

Click in Go to Google.com below and to the right of "I'm feeling lucky". Whenthat page opens go to Toolls , Internet Options then select "Use Current" as your home page Click Apply then OK
