Good afternoon! Today is VFD fish fry day!
I’ll enjoy thinking about fried fish ;-).
Still waiting for Tom to load the mower ...
I’m already overwhelmed in here...
Does your head feel any better today?
Excellent! Prepare for hits!
Perfect (especially the Pelosi dig)! I tried to “like” it but it wanted me to sign in and I forget my pw’s.
It’s okay.
The next version will have pics of Obama, McCain, Pelosi and Boehner
Yes, the nose-dripping is much diminished. I fell asleep for a few minutes, waiting for Tom to finish his lawn-mowing job. Now he’s mowing our front lawn.
UNHAPPY. :-(
House phone rang this AM...
I was not home...
I was driving to work...just me and my headache...
ANYWAY, the caller:
CLAIMED to be from Microsoft....
CLAIMED information from our home network was being broadcast on the internet...
CLAIMED to be calling to walk through a fix...
WANTED info from certain entries in the Application Event Log...
CLAIMED he’d work in parallel with info at a page on support.jimdo.com...
NEITHER of my older boys were suspicious enough of any of this to hold ANY cards close to the vest. As SON #1 is sitting, reading Event Log Warnings to the caller, my YOUNGER son FINALLY decided this was odd, and called my cell to let me know...
“HEADACHE” elevates to ECONO-SIZED MIGRAINE status...
Had the boys shut off my NAS to secure the “vault.”
Had the main house computer shut off to secure most important email.
Had the boys get a call-back number from the guy (he actually left one)...
So much for my weekend...
Oh, dear. That sounds extremely unpleasant.
Kids can’t be blamed. Poor guys. They will be more aware next time, whether it’s your computer or theirs in the near/far future.
Dang migraines. No red wine and no cheese for you for the duration!
Ice packs, anyone?
I just got the neatest card! The envelop reminded me of my fairy-loving, tattooed daughter who loves all things whimsical!
The stamp was awesome, too! With permission, I will give her the envelope for her collection of all things whimsy!
Her favorite holiday is Hallowe’en, and I found a recipe for pumpkin fudge that I sent to her. We shall see how it turns out, and if the Mom With Time In Grade gets some or not! LOL!
My main problem is that network security is not my field of expertise, so I really have no way to know HOW unpleasant this is; I’m stuck defaulting to regarding it as MOST unpleasant. There’s a possibility that the issue is not so bad, but I haven’t the knowledge base to ascertain that for myself, and there are only 24 hours in a day, and I don’t really want to become Network+ or Security+ certified...
Or, at least not all on a single Saturday.
[sigh]
Ibuprofen + caffeine == relief
That formula has always worked for me. The caffeine dilates the circulatory system, increasing the flow rate of pain relief to the affected regions.
I wish it worked for me! Do what you need to and praise the boys. They did their best!
Migraines and me are *kof-kof* buddies...
Great!
Sounds like someone was warjacking you.
And went to the added length of getting your home number.
It’s the dinky screen that us the problem. Now have a new 1T hard drive. Can’t get it to more than hummmm.
