Pattern lock has locked you out of your Droid??

2011-08-25T01:50:00.000-07:00

Do you have a Droid? Have you made a mistake in playing around with the pattern lock and then forgotten how to unlock your phone? Here's the safest way to get it back!

Attempt to unlock your phone (pattern doesn't matter!) at least 5 or more times. The phone will say you've attempted too many times so now you have to wait 30 seconds. Now, there should be a little box that says something like "forgot pattern" Click on that. Enter your gmail account and password. You may then re-set your pattern. Worked like a charm. NO HARD RESET. NO LOSS OF INFORMATION. :)

I really hope this helps someone else! Took me an hour and a half to find a partial answer!

2011-08-04T15:05:00.000-07:00

Here is a small example of Katielynn Clarke's beautiful custom, handmade crocheted felted wool handbags. I just had her make one for me and I can't wait till you read further and see for yourself why I love my new bag! The first handbag in the set of pictures is one that the artist made for herself. It is just gorgeous! (I think this is the largest bag she's ever made!) The colors are stunning!! The next bag is like the most fun!! Lady Bugs and perfect trim!

The last single set of bag pictures is my new bag! I picked out all the colors of yarn, and even got a great deal on a handmade button from France at JoAnn's Fabrics. I love, love, love my new bag!!

Airpush Problems????

2011-07-22T17:09:00.000-07:00

I finally had enough of this ridiculous app on my cell phone. I was told that I needed to add an "Opt-Out" app to get rid of their advertisements....I would have posted a review on their page at www.xapush.com BUT: I wasn't about to sign in and get the app just to get rid of their junk. So, I checked out the net, and figured it out.

Go to http://support.gsmliberty.net/index.php?_m=knowledgebase&_a=viewarticle&kbarticleid=3&ratingconfirm=1

Follow the instructions to find your IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity)

For me, I found my IMEI on my Droid under Settings, About Phone, Status, and scrolled down to "MEID" I then tapped on that, and got my jeweler's loop to read the very tiny print....wrote it down, then went back to the Airpush www.xapush.com website and manually opted out on my phone. I will let you know if they pull putting this on my phone again...worse than a toothache....

Glenn Miller Always In My Heart~lyrics

2011-01-23T19:20:00.000-08:00

You are always in my heart
Even though you're far away
I can hear the music of
The song of love
I sang with you
You are always in my heart
And when skies above are grey
I remember that you care
And then and there
The sun breaks through

Just before I go to sleep
there's a rendezvous I keep
And a dream I always meet
Helps me forget were far apart
I don't know exactly when, dear,
But I’m sure we’ll meet again, dear,
And my darling, till we do
You are always in my heart!

My Father-in-law sang this to me just a few days before he entered heaven.

Even at 97, he sang this as strong as he could. I loved it!

Give me Jesus

What lies on the other side?

2011-01-19T22:16:00.000-08:00

A sick man turned to his doctor, as he was preparing to leave the examination room and said, "Doctor, I am afraid to die. Tell me what lies on the other side."

Very quietly, the doctor said, "I don't know."

"You don't know? You, a Christian man, do not know what is on the other side?"

The doctor was holding the handle of the door; on the other side came a sound of scratching and whining, and as he opened the door, a dog sprang into the room and leaped on him with an eager show of gladness.

Turning to the patient, the doctor said, "Did you notice my dog? He's never been in this room before. He didn't know what was inside. He knew nothing except that his master was here, and when the door opened, he sprang in without fear. I know little of what is on the other side of death, but I do know one thing... I know my Master is there and that is enough."

~Friends and Family, do you have a fear of death? Would you like to know how not to have this fear? Please, get in touch with me! ~

My Father-in-law, Hiroji Togashi

HIROJI TOGASHI

1913-2010

Hiroji Togashi, age 97, died in Maple Valley, Washington on Tuesday, December 28, 2010 in the late evening. The causes of death were complications from heart disease and bilateral subdural hematomas. His grandson, Richard and daughter-in-law, Cheryl, were with him at the moment he died.

Born March 27, 1913 in Olaa, Hawai’i to Totaro and Tetsu (Sato) Togashi, he attended Olaa Grammar School, then he attended Olaa Junior High School for one year. He then dropped out of school to help his older brother, Tomiji, and mother, Tetsu, raise the family. Hiroji will be especially remembered for being an outstanding pitcher. He received a silver medal in 1936 for “The Most Valuable Pitcher” from the Olaa Young Men’s Baseball Association. It was a special honor for him. He also was awarded a silver trophy from the Olaa Japanese Baseball League for “Most Valuable Player” in 1936.

Hiroji served in the Army, Company B, 1399^th Engineer Construction Battalion, from February 7, 1942 until January 6, 1946 attaining the rank of Tech 4. On April 1, 1945, he married Hatsue Noguchi. His two greatest joys were his sons, Wayne Takao Togashi, and Ralph Kunio Togashi. He worked as a carpenter until he retired.

Having spent most of his adult life on the Island of O’ahu, he enjoyed the sunshine and beaches and the slower pace of life that living the Aloha spirit brought to him. He told me when he was young, he enjoyed picking the opihi off of the rocks to eat! I remember that he loved his ice-cream after dinner. We often walked with him to Baskin and Robbins where he would get a chocolate cone. Malasadas and shave ice with azuki beans and ice-cream were also a favorite of his. He enjoyed his Udon noodles and Lau Lau, too. He loved Hatsue’s Nishime, which she made on special occasions. Hiroji loved to sing and laugh with his friends from Kulana Hale, a retirement home in Honolulu, where he lived for 10 years.

He came to live with his son, Wayne, and his family in October 2010. He sang many songs and encouraged friends and family to sing with him. Coming from a large family, he enjoyed children. He brought smiles from babies and little children, and they loved his smiles, too. He generously shared his bed (and sometimes his pillow!) with a little white, fluffy dog named Pearl. He sang her a special song called “You’re the Cream in my Coffee”. He delighted not only her, but all of us as well. Hiroji attended Faith Church in Kent, Washington with his son, Wayne, and daughter-in-law Cheryl, and grandsons: Richard and Wesley. At the age of 95, he followed the Holy Spirit’s prompting and accepted Jesus Christ and his Lord and Savior on April 23, 2008. His grandchildren will remember him as the most wonderful grandpa. They were proud of him and loved him greatly.

His wife, Hatsue, had several visits to the mainland to visit her son, Wayne and his family. She too, made a decision to follow Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior. In 1994, she spent a month long visit and we had the warmest October we’ve ever had! Both Hatsue and Hiroji not only blessed their family during their visits, but many of our friends as well. They were loved by all who met and knew them.

Survivors include: his son Wayne and daughter-in-law Cheryl Togashi of Maple Valley, Washington; son, Ralph Togashi of Mililani, Hawai’i; grandsons, Eric Togashi of Renton, Washington, and Richard and Wesley Togashi of Maple Valley, Washington; Wayne’s daughter and Hiroji’s only granddaughter, Natasha Shiroma (Togashi) and her two children, Maiyume and Keenan of Marysville, California; brother Kiichi, and sister-in-law, Sarah Togashi of Keaau, Hawai’i. To those who called him Uncle Hiroji, he had many nieces, great nieces, nephews and great nephews. Hiroji was preceded in death by his loving parents, brother, Tokuji Togashi, sister, Kimi Togashi, brother, Tomiji Togashi, sister, Haru Togashi Matsumura, infant sister, Tomoye Togashi, infant sister Toshiko Togashi. His wife, Hatsue Noguchi Togashi also preceded him in April 1998.

Services will be held at Monday, January 17, 2011 at 6:30 PM Mililani Memorial Park Mortuary Mauka Chapel at 94-560 Kamehameha Highway, Waipahu, Hawai’i 96797. Inurnment will be at Punchbowl, The National Cemetery of the Pacific, 2177 Puowaina Drive, Honolulu, Hawai’i, at 10:30 AM. Relatives and friends are welcome to attend both the memorial and the inurnment.

In lieu of flowers, please make a contribution to his friends at the Kulana Hale Senior Apartment for their “entertainment fund” at Kulana Hale Senior Apartment 1551 S. Beretania, Honolulu, HI 96826.

Thanks to our friends at Faith Church in Kent, Washington, and other friends close to us for their prayers, help and support during Hiroji’s time here with us. Many thanks also to those left behind in O’ahu who helped with getting Hiroji ready for the time on the mainland; especially several dear friends that made his good-bye a little easier.

Put Your Car Keys Beside Your Bed At Night

2011-01-03T01:10:00.000-08:00

Tell your spouse, your children, your neighbors, your parents, your Doctor’s office, the check-out girl at the market, everyone you run across. Put your car keys beside your bed at night.

If you hear a noise outside your home or someone trying to get in your house, just press the panic button for your car. The alarm will be set off, and the horn will continue to sound until either you turn it off or the car battery dies.

This tip came from a neighborhood watch coordinator. Next time you come home for the night and you start to put your keys away, think of this: It's a security alarm system that you probably already have and requires no installation. Test it. It will go off from most everywhere inside your house and will keep honking until your battery runs down or until you reset it with the button on the key fob chain. It works if you park in your driveway or garage. If your car alarm goes off when someone is trying to break into your house, odds are the burglar/rapist won't stick around.

After a few seconds all the neighbors will be looking out their windows to see who is out there and sure enough the criminal won't want that.

And remember to carry your keys while walking to your car in a parking lot. The alarm can work the same way there. This is something that should really be shared with everyone. Maybe it could save a life or a sexual abuse crime.

P.S. I am sending this to everyone I know because I think it is fantastic. Would also be useful for any emergency, such as a heart attack, where you can't reach a phone. My Mom has suggested to my Dad that he carry his car keys with him in case he falls outside and she doesn't hear him. He can activate the car alarm and then she'll know there's a problem.

Thanksgiving 2010

2010-11-25T15:44:00.000-08:00

Unbelievably thankful for this day, and the blessings that come along with being in a pretty good sized family. This year, we have my husband's daddy living with us, our three sons, and two nieces, one a great niece! We are overjoyed that God has blessed us with a home and family that is pretty awesome. So many things to be thankful for. We just opened our hearts to another Compassion girl. Our oldest "adopted" Compassion girl has been worked out of the system so to speak. It's sad to see her go, but grateful to have been in her life for so many years. Also, the excitement of having another precious child to love and pray for is so fantastic! So, for those of you actually reading blogs today, Happy Thanksgiving and much joy to you all!

STONE (Author Unknown)

TWO FRIENDS WERE WALKING
THROUGH THE DESERT .
DURING SOME POINT OF THE
JOURNEY, THEY HAD AN
ARGUMENT; AND ONE FRIEND
SLAPPED THE OTHER ONE
IN THE FACE

THE ONE WHO GOT SLAPPED
WAS HURT, BUT WITHOUT
SAYING ANYTHING,
WROTE IN THE SAND ,

TODAY MY BEST FRIEND
SLAPPED ME IN THE FACE .

THEY KEPT ON WALKING,
UNTIL THEY FOUND AN OASIS,
WHERE THEY DECIDED
TO TAKE A BATH

THE ONE WHO HAD BEEN
SLAPPED GOT STUCK IN THE
MIRE AND STARTED DROWNING,
BUT THE FRIEND SAVED HIM.

AFTER HE RECOVERED FROM
THE NEAR DROWNING,
HE WROTE ON A STONE:

'TODAY MY BEST FRIEND
SAVED MY LIFE'

THE FRIEND WHO HAD SLAPPED
AND SAVED HIS BEST FRIEND
ASKED HIM, 'AFTER I HURT YOU,
YOU WROTE IN THE SAND AND NOW,
YOU WRITE ON A STONE, WHY?'

THE FRIEND REPLIED
'WHEN SOMEONE HURTS US
WE SHOULD WRITE IT DOWN
IN SAND, WHERE WINDS OF
FORGIVENESS CAN ERASE IT AWAY.

BUT, WHEN SOMEONE DOES SOMETHING GOOD FOR US,
WE MUST ENGRAVE IT IN STONE
WHERE NO WIND
CAN EVER ERASE IT'

LEARN TO WRITE
YOUR HURTS IN
THE SAND AND TO
CARVE YOUR
BENEFITS IN STONE.

THEY SAY IT TAKES A
MINUTE TO FIND A SPECIAL
PERSON,

AN HOUR TO
APPRECIATE THEM,

A DAY
TO LOVE THEM,

BUT THEN ,

AN ENTIRE LIFE
TO FORGET THEM.

SEND THIS TO
THE PEOPLE YOU'LL NEVER
FORGET.

I JUST DID..

TAKE THE TIME TO LIVE!

DO NOT VALUE THE THINGS
YOU HAVE IN YOUR LIFE, BUT VALUE
WHO YOU HAVE KNOWN IN YOUR LIFE!

Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
