The chat console for Live Help loses connection to the server and then crashes my comp EVERY TIME...almost makes ya think they don't WANT you getting in touch with them...at any rate, can anyone else get it to work and convince the rep to come over here and take a look at what's going on?

This morning in church we were sitting near a couple with two often-unruly children...they're not bad kids by any means, just high-spirited, and it's difficult for them to sit quietly for two hours during the Sunday services. My own little boy (he's 2 years old) was sitting quietly on my lap, his head on my shoulder, being the epitome of the perfect little angel, while the two kids across from us whined and fussed and kicked each other and fought over a Barbie book. It was hard not to glance over at them every minute or two, which I try not to do because I know it's embarassing for their poor mother.
I was sitting there silently gloating over how good my little boy is....so sweet, so quiet, so un-disturbing. Such a darling. Nobody EVER has to glance meaningfully over at US during Sunday service!
Just about the time I had decided I was the best mother EVER and that nobody else on the planet seems to know how to raise their kids the RIGHT way, my little angel decided to suddenly burst out laughing. Not just a short burst---he started bellylaughing, LOUD, and he refused to stop. I shhhhh'd him, I shook my finger at him, I pressed my hand over his mouth....no matter what I did, he continued. He laughed and laughed and laughed, that infectious high-pitched giggle that toddlers have, and I got tickled myself and started to laugh too (though I did it as quietly as possible). This of course made my son laugh harder and louder and begin throwing himself backwards, which meant I had to remove my hand from his mouth to keep him from tumbling off my lap. He REALLY cut loose then, squealing and laughing and kicking in glee.
Heads began to turn. Some grinning, some scowling. In a few moments most of the audience was turned around looking at us, wondering what the problem was. My face went red and I glanced across the aisle at the family with the two unruly children.
The mom was looking at us. She was smiling.
It wasn't one of those "now you know what it feels like!" type of smiles. It was the smile you see on moms and ONLY on moms, that smile that makes you think mothers are actually angels in human form sent here to look after all the children.
I want to be that kind of mom. I want to develop that smile. And I will never again cast a disapproving glance across the aisle when somebody's kids are acting up in church.
I'm sure my day is coming...I just hope others are as kind about it as the mom that sat across from us today.

Unfortunately this (and a dozen other ill-fated posts) only managed to stay on the front page for about 15 seconds, so I'm going to try it again. Another unfortunate fact is that I just wasted 5 minutes of my life reporting 15 useless repeat posts by a person who just does it to be an arse, and I know eBay won't stop him and he'll just do it again...probably 15 seconds after I re-post this again.
Anyway....there's just
about 5 hours left on these great 99 cent
auctions...take a look, I hve some great stuff going off tonight!
Also...can someone tell me why no prices are
showing up on these galleries? I check the correct boxes and
do everything just like I always have, and now they no longer show the
prices no matter WHAT I do...anybody know what's up with
that?
