I'll be doing lots of online shopping since my son and DIL won't get to be home this year. He's already made a list of on-line places to shop, including my personal favorite....

We Viking fans learned long ago that it's only a game. :)

[Kathy in Alaska]

Yes, it's your turn now.

[luvie]

Well, maybe they'll surprise you tonight! What's the score? I would just go look, but I just turned off the TV when CSI was done. Can you say L-A-Z-Y? :o)

WARNING FROM THE FBI:
This just came into my Inbox.
Hopefully no one opened the file!

Please take this very seriously!
I went to their website to verify it.
Perhaps someone that had my email address in their address book opened it.


 

FBI ALERTS PUBLIC TO RECENT E-MAIL SCHEME  

E-mails purporting to come from FBI are phony

Washington , D.C. – The FBI today warned the public to avoid falling victim to an on-going mass e-mail scheme wherein computer users received unsolicited e-mails purportedly sent by the FBI. These scam e-mails tell the recipients that their Internet use has been monitored by the FBI and that they have accessed illegal web sites. The e-mails then direct recipients to open an attachment and answer questions.

The e-mail appears to be sent from the e-mail addresses of mail@fbi.gov and admin@fbi.gov. There may be other similarly styled addresses. The recipient is enticed to open the zip attachment which contains a w32/sober.jen@mm worm. The attachment does not open and its goal is to utilize the recipient’s computer to garner information. Secondly, the virus allows the e-mail to be forwarded to all those listed in the recipient’s address book.

The text of the email is as follows:

Dear Sir/Madam,

We have logged your IP-address on more than 30 illegal Websites.

Important: Please answer our questions! The list of questions are attached.

Yours faithfully,
Steven Allison
Federal Bureau of Investigation-FBI-
935 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW , Room 3220
Washington , DC 20535
Phone: (202) 324-30000

These e-mails did not come from the FBI. Recipients of this or similar solicitations should know that the FBI does not engage in the practice of sending unsolicited e-mails to the public in this manner.

Opening e-mail attachments from an unknown sender is a risky and dangerous endeavor as such attachments frequently contain viruses that can infect the recipient’s computer. The FBI strongly encourages computer users not to open such attachments.

The FBI takes this matter seriously and is investigating. While the address and phone number for the FBI is correct in the email, users receiving e-mails of this nature are encouraged to report it to the Internet Crime Complaint Center via http://www.ic3.gov.

Losing 14-7 at this time but flailing away on the Packers' one-yard line. Perhaps we may score some points.

[Colonel_Flagg]

That would be lovely!

[HiJinx]

Hoo-ah!! Combat Shopping!!!!

[Soaring Feather]

Hi Radix!

Thanks so much for the pictures of our troops at work. Great captions as well. ;)

[Kathy in Alaska]

Monterey? I took the boys to the Aquarium a bunch of years ago.

[luvie]

Well, maybe if you hold your mouth just right, they'll pull out a miracle! :o)
