Yesterday I got a new/old PC in the mail.
I worked on the vacation days application for SFH yesterday.
In reply, Jesus said to him,
Give praise to God.
It is a
Dell OptiPlex GX240

I bought it because it had Office 2007 on it.
It only cost $129.
It runs fine.
I learn some new things each week.
I put a menu on every page that is displayed,

I am making progress.

I went to the .NET Users Group meeting last night.
The

Jesus is the Good Shepherd.
They had free pizza from Godfather's.
You can't argue with that.
I did not know anyone there.

Jesus said,
The world will end one day.
just a few days after Father's Day.
Pray for them and their family.
Jesus, be with them and comfort them.
It will keep track of the vacation days.
It is just to practice what I have learned with ASP.NET.

Anymore I pray for everyone in the world.

You have seen what Jesus can do over the last 10 years.
The lithium batteries are supposed to last 10 years.
10 years is a long time.
You are to replace your smoke detectors every 10 years.
It was not well written.
There were places where they lost me.

You can search for states.
You can add, change and delete states

it will tell you that it is already there.
You can sort on the two character state abbreviation
