April...Hard to believe, very hard. They grow up so fast. She keeps saying
"I'm going to stop aging when I hit 25", and we all look at her and remind
her she's only 14 and shouldn't be thinking of such things! But, she's a
damned good kid, and I couldn't be prouder of her.

Toyota keeps in touch with the customers afterwards through the service and makes sure everything done with or to the car is registered throughout the life of the car. Toyota organizes occasional events for their customers like washing all toyotas for free, going on trips together. |

wrong, she points out the fact that she is an 'Angel', and its usually hard
not to crack a smile, even when I should be getting mad. But, I can't
complain. She does what she's told 99% of the time, doesn't get into trouble
(*touches wood*), does well in school, and is a good kid in general.

either, but I think everyone recognizes that light. As for the new one, I
have watched all the episodes, and while some have been really incredible,
some have been just terrible. I think it's kind of hit-and-miss.

re-install of XP every few months. It get's to the point where even my
anti-virus and anti-spybot programs are looking at me saying "We're done,
pal. We give up."
