Still round the corner there may wait |
Home is behind, the world ahead, |
Well, it seems to be better now. But I still have issues to resolve with Comcast...
I haven't had any trouble with ComCast out here... hmm. Wonder if it's just regional differences, or what. Maybe they hate you.
I don't think it's exclusively Comcast. But I have a lot of trouble with pop-ups and there's a virus or something of somekind I can't get rid of.
What happened this time is that uninstalling Firefox made it impossible for me to open Comcast without telling it to go to IE every time, even when I check the box for "always use this program."
What anti-spyware programs are you using? I might be able to recommend some that you're not running... and if you can find the file that hosts the virus, the way to get rid of it is to boot in safe mode, delete the file, and then delete it from the Trash. Often you can't delete a virus in normal running mode.
I run Adware and Spybot pretty regularly. And I've got McAfee Anti-Virus - although that's been since I've had problems. It tells me there are no infected files, but it does give a list of potential problems that I'm unable to delete.
I heave heard people praise Spysweeper as being able to find series problems, but that you have to be careful because it will flag valid registry entries as virii.
No files, huh? That makes it hard... I would recommend using AVG, but AVG and McAfee don't like each other and McAfee's better if you only use one.
Heh...

Thanks for the advice. What I'm NOT going to do is try anything else tonite. My brain isn't clear enough. And I haven't even been drinking.
Heh. And you're wise. You should probably go to bed soon and leave me here alone, as usual. Maybe I'll manage to figure out what I'm trying to do with this scene... not likely, though.
Hah! A valid reason to use the phrase "the famous alchemist brothers, Edward and Alphonse Elric" in my story, without even trying! I love allusions.
Good Morning ALL; Beautiful Sunday here. Coffee being consumed in vast quatities from our new brewer. hmmmm.
Gypsy girl is stretched out on the doggie bed, casting an eye toward us, "I wonder if they realize they haven't taken me for my walk yet."
Good morning, Sir Archer! The hound must be walked ere she redecorate the castle...
Good morning...
I don't feel rested! I am sore and achy from all this manual labor of digging trenches and burning bonfires... I may not be very productive today. :~)
Now this is troubling.... Where's your drive and motivation? You might as well not bother with the theatrical now... the extended is coming soon.
I'll with-hold comment for now on the Rankin Bass... It does have great songs in it.... not great in the sense they were ~good~ mind you. ;~D
You might as well not bother with the theatrical now... the extended is coming soon.
So HD, I'll just buy it next time - I won the DVD as a door prize...
One thing to remember about the R-B version: it was an all-star cast of voice talent that just doesn't exist anymore, all culled from the Golden Age of Animation.
Good morning!
DVD players are super cheap now you know... I do hope you'll be getting on board soon ;~D
The Heathen Virus has stricken the household...church starts at 9:30 and nobody looked at a clock until 9:17...
Travel time is 8-10 minutes under favorable conditions...and this particular Ex-GI is out of practice in the art of "gearing up" in under 3.
Oh well. I shall follow the advice in my tag:
Morning, XGI!
Having a wonderful lie-in this AM. Coffee and Computer for breakfast....
Well, as all the good people are away at church right now... I'd say the thread is a safe harbor for heathens at the moment.
OK...but let's keep the bawdy songs to a minimum...
