Do you have an anti-virus program?

[MEG33]

My Norton antivius recently blocked Bloodhound Exploit 13...and I notice lots of tries..I first saw the block notice on when I was on a site I use all the time..It seems any site is prey for a virus.

I use FR for my homepage ..no ads so less chances for a problem I figure. When FR is down..I use my favorites list to get off the homepage.
Run a virus scan is all I can suggest.
I have problems that magically disappear when I cannot find a problem..That may be what happened today for me.

I really haven’t forgotten any of you. Today is kinda crazy. Trying not to ignore my family while trying to take care of some convention stuff.

Poor Amy’s Place is not getting much of my attention today. I’m sorry.

Jaycee and Yorkie ... thank you for helping out with Caturdays. You two make great hostesses. Thank you for being here for us. Your graphics are always cute and perfect.

The Mayor ... thank you for bringing us the ODB message.

Conor ... I still need to post something for our lost heroes. I’ve said a prayer but I know that isn’t enough. They need to be acknowledged.

LadyJ ... thanks for being here with your cute graphics and all you share.

DiverDave ... I am still waiting for time to read your post 3385.

Billie .... Thank you for today’s Graphic re-run. It is pretty enough to use more than once.

Meg ... I always appreciate your graphics and sentiments. Thank you for being so attentive. In addition I want to thank you for being our Sunday hostess.

SJB ... I always enjoy seeing your name when I check my pings. Thank you for visiting us.

WayzataJOHNN .... Thank you for supporting our Conservative Causes with the written word. Thank you for sharing your lovely poetry with us.

All ..... Our guests make Amy’s the greatest place on the net. :^ ) Thank you.

HAPPY CATURDAY TO AMY’S PLACE!

Macavity - The Mystery Cat

Macavity's a Mystery Cat: he's called the Hidden Paw--
For he's the master criminal who can defy the Law.
He's the bafflement of Scotland Yard, the Flying Squad's despair:
For when they reach the scene of crime--Macavity's not there!

Macavity, Macavity, there's no on like Macavity,
He's broken every human law, he breaks the law of gravity.
His powers of levitation would make a fakir stare,
And when you reach the scene of crime--Macavity's not there!
You may seek him in the basement, you may look up in the air-
- But I tell you once and once again, Macavity's not there!

Macavity's a ginger cat, he's very tall and thin;
You would know him if you saw him, for his eyes are sunken in.
His brow is deeply lined with thought, his head is highly doomed;
His coat is dusty from neglect, his whiskers are uncombed.
He sways his head from side to side, with movements like a snake;
And when you think he's half asleep, he's always wide awake.

Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity,
For he's a fiend in feline shape, a monster of depravity.
You may meet him in a by-street, you may see him in the square--
But when a crime's discovered, then Macavity's not there!

He's outwardly respectable. (They say he cheats at cards.)
And his footprints are not found in any file of Scotland Yard's.
And when the larder's looted, or the jewel-case is rifled,
Or when the milk is missing, or another Peke's been stifled,
Or the greenhouse glass is broken, and the trellis past repair--
Ay, there's the wonder of the thing! Macavity's not there!

And when the Foreign Office finds a Treaty's gone astray,
Or the Admiralty lose some plans and drawings by the way,
There may be a scap of paper in the hall or on the stair--
But it's useless of investigate--Macavity's not there!
And when the loss has been disclosed, the Secret Service say:
"It must have been Macavity!"--but he's a mile away.
You'll be sure to find him resting, or a-licking of his thumbs,
Or engaged in doing complicated long division sums.

Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macacity,
There never was a Cat of such deceitfulness and suavity.
He always has an alibit, or one or two to spare:
And whatever time the deed took place--MACAVITY WASN'T THERE!
And they say that all the Cats whose wicked deeds are widely known
(I might mention Mungojerrie, I might mention Griddlebone)
Are nothing more than agents for the Cat who all the time
Just controls their operations: the Napoleon of Crime!

a poem by T S Eliot

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

[Billie]

LOL! Bad mousie! (she hasn't gone yet.) :)

[lonestar]

Nobody can run faster than me!

The kitties prolly didn’t know what to think about HER either!
