Pop-ups GRRRRRR

I have been plagued the past few days with those pesky pop up ads. I dont mena just your standard pop-up I mean the kind you can NOT tell FUCK off to. Yesterday right in the middle of my daily blog reading, one popped up, and had absolutely NO way to get it gone. There was no tool bar showing, ESC did not work, 3-fingered salute did not work, I mouse overed every inch and could find NOTHING that will allow me to close down the damn thing. I had to physically turn off my computer the wrong way, just to get it gone. Of course Windows XP does not like it when you do that, so it had to scan my hard drives for damage before I could continue. Then once it came back up there was the damn ad again, only this time with a toolbar. I closed it three times before it went away. Then when I looked at my favorites there were two adult porn sites in my FAVORITES that I did not put there.

Chemystery got home really late, and I was worried about her and the icy roads. I yelled at her when she got home, about not being courteous and letting me know she was gonna be working late, then I hit her with the porn sites! She swears she didn't do that, and I believe her. She deleted a bunch of things that looked really strange on my files, and rebooted. Today I ran a p-cillin scan and found I have a spy-ware worm. I deleted it and now I'm starting over. and the Damn Pop-ups are popping like mad!! ANybody know a reasonably cheap program that will block all of these stupid advertisements? They are really pissing me off. Especially the one that wont let you close it.

There are those stupid ones in email too. and the ones that look like it is an official pop-up from microsoft about it's system. I refuse to download anything that I do not request myself. and I periodically go to those places and get updates and patches.

Just typing this, I had to close 15 ads!!! it wouldnt even be so bad if they would pop UNDER so I could still type! I do not look at the screen but at my keys so when it pops up it kills the typing and I dont realize it until I look up.

AAAARRRGGGGHGHGHGHGHGHGH

Where do Ice Cream cones come from?

Funny!!

A new, young MD when doing his residency in OB, was quite embarrassed performing female pelvic exams. To cover his embarrassment he had unconsciously formed a habit of whistling softly. The middle aged lady upon whom he was performing this exam suddenly burst out laughing and further embarrassed him. He looked up from his work and sheepishly said, "I'm sorry. Was I tickling you?!" She replied, "No doctor, but the song you were whistling was 'I wish I was an Oscar Mayer Wiener."

Frosty Morning!

I came home from work yesterday with a splitting headache, an upset tummy, and aches all over the body...Took a really hot shower, fixed a mug of soup and headed for bed. My daughter came home and rubbed me down really good with Mineral Ice, and off to sleep I went. Until 900. Then I had to get up and watch West Wing. fixed a cup of blueberry tea, and back into the sack. I was sleeping so good, and about 500 am Phyllis called... NORTHERN LIGHTS UP NORTH!!! yea, like they would be down South? So I jumped out of bed and ran out to the back deck. I remembered to turn the back porch light off before I went out. Took one step out in my bare feet and started skating!! The deck was coated with a thin layer of solid ice.

I thought Dear Lord don't let me fall, and I looked up at the sky and there just over the tree tops were the Auroras!! Not green and pink like some people have seen, but white! The Lights were dancing like a curtain blowing in the wind. It was awesome!!

Now mind you, all this is going through my head as I am falling. I took the first step, started to skate, so instead of going backwards into the house, I head forward...very fast. I don't remember the actual fall, but I found myself in the middle of the deck, on my hands and knees. I tried to get up, and fell flat. So I tried to get up and my PJ's are stuck to the deck. Now if bare flesh doesn't stick to the deck, why does flannel? I am giggling. You know the kind, the "OHMIGAWD I'M ON THE DECK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NITE AND STUCK" kind of giggle?

About this time I look up and the stars were close enough to touch, and the Big Dipper was tilted so that it looked like it was pouring the Auroras out of it's cup. So beautiful. I thought, Well if I have to freeze to death I picked a beautiful time to do it. I hear an OH SHIT!!! coming from Donnas room. OOPS woke up the daughter.

What would you think if you were to wake up in the middle of the night and see your mother laying on her stomach in the middle of a frozen deck? I knew she would be scared, so I yelled, I'm OK...JUST STUCK! So she comes to the door yelling at me. IF YOURE OK WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING LAYING ON YOUR STOMACH ON A FROZEN DECK?

OK quit cussing at me and bring me something to wstand on that isnt slick. She goes back into the house, and is gone 15 minutes while I am slowly freezing solid. She finally comes back and throws a teeny tiny throw rug at me. (Now I would have grabbed a blanket off my bed which was really close, or a towel out of the dryer which was RIGHT THERE) I got my feet pryed up off the deck and put them on the rug, and stand up. Now how to get from where I am to the safe house? Donna, Please go get me another something to stand on? SO she is gone another 15 minutes and throws another teeny tiny rug at me.

Now she is pissed!! WHY IN THE FUCK WERE YOU OUT THERE MOM!!! YOU'RE SICK!!! DOESN'T "I FEEL AWFUL" SOUND REMOTELY FAMILIAR TO YOU? No sense of humor that kid...

I get in to the house, and tell her Im ok, And that Phyllis had called to tell me the Northern Lights were out. She just does not get it...she is ranting at me...I tell her to go back to sleep and I call Phyllis.

No Answer...OH LORDY I HOPE SHE DIDN'T FALL TOO!!! She did. Last time she did that she knocked herself out. So I finally get her on the phone, and ask her to come take me to the hospital and all she did was laugh. SOme family!! THe daughter cusses at me and the sister laughs!! No respect!! None at all!! And to top it all off, the Auroras weren't even colored!! (Sniff)

You all probably think I am totally wacked, but it is the little things in life that give me joy. THe Auroras, The stars twinkling brightly and so loudly that you can hear them! THe patterns of ice on a frozen deck as your nose is stuck to it...

Gotta love it. The knees are killing me right now though. "Was it all worth it?" Donna Screamed at me...YEP It was. I might not have another chance to see them...the world may stop at any moment and I want to be able to say, I saw them one last time...

Thanks Bill!!

Ya know, Sometimes it really is nice knowing a gentleman! Bill told me how to get the do-hickie working right. I didn't know it had sound!!! My daughter turns the volume down so she won't wake me up with her chat rooms :-( and she never remembers to turn it up. But with Bills kind words and Leslies comments, I got to see it in action. Feel free to take it folks.

Worth the wait!

I have no idea if this will work but if it does it is really cute.

Happy Thanksgiving!

hmm obviously not...well punch it into your URl address line it is really cute.

Done here too Guys. Anonymity is good.

Mother Nature hits hard!

Whoo-boy...watching the news this afternoon, listening to all the rivers that are at or above flood stage again, and thinking that I am so glad I live on an island. We are getting the rain though. So far about 3 inches. Now this may seem like nothing to some of you, but We usually only get 17" of rain a YEAR, it is usually just showery and misty all the time. It rarely pours like it has this Fall. I was shaking my head at our weather and then they switched to the national weather. Man!! Tornadoes, WInd, Rain, more wind, more tornadoes all through the mid section. Houston is flooded, New Orleans is flooded (that doesn't take much I hear) Tornadoes in Arkansas, Alabama and Mississippi. Wind through the mid-west along with the rain and snow! I can deal with the wind, and the rain, but I don't think I could deal with living where you would have to fear tornadoes in the middle of the night. I think I would just build a house underground and never come up for air. I sincerely hope that all of you are safe and secure and out of Harm's Way.

Me, I gotta get out in this pouring rain and bring in some fire wood. I'm cold. Damn I wish I one of those four men that Dorothy mentioned...

PHHHFFTTT!!!!

Ok Wanda....start laughing.... I deserve it!!!


What Kind of Asshole are You?

You'd sell your grandma to get ahead in life if you could. You blame half the people around you for your failures and expect the other half to treat you like royalty. Assholes like you make fine racists, Christian republicans, or both. Do us all a favor and keep your damn mouth shut.

funny!!

Took a nap, just checked my email, and the wind warning has been cancelled, The low pressure system hit shore at upper British Columbia, So Chris Might have gotten the wind, but not us. DARN!!! AH well, the winter hasn't even gotten started yet, there will be more I am sure.

so much for fantasy .....

What Zodiac Sign Are You Attracted To?

Sunday Afternoon

Yep...It's late, really late. I slept until 1200 noon!! Got home about 130 last night after striking the set from Over the River And Through The Woods!! It was a GREAT show. I left before the set was finished though, my knee was the size of a cantelope and my back went out. So I said Enough is enough and just left.

I got home and took a HOT shower. I just let it beat down on my back and shoulders. It felt SOOOOOOOOO good. Put on my new flannel niteshirt and fixed a hot cup of cocoa and went to bed. Now when I am that tired, i can't get right to sleep. I wanted to, but my mind wouldn't let me, so I tossed and turned finally went to sleep...for 20 minutes! I was hurting so badly that I couldn't get comfortable, I got up rubbed mineral ice on my knee, and aspercreme on my shoulder and tried again. Nope. so I got up and took a pain pill. That did it. Out like a light! slept until 8 got up went to the bathroom and stumbled right back to bed. Sadie was still asleep, so I figured I needed to be also. It really wasn't as bad as it seems, since I did not get to sleep until 4AM so I only was in bed for 8 hours. (why am I making excuses? Im an adult, it is my house. ) I feel much better today, but the pain medicine makes me sick to my tummy so I try not to take it unless I really need it.

It is raining like hell out there right now, the wind has not hit yet. We had some this morning but the big wind is expected this afternoon and tonite. Sadie came in all covered with mud. GOD what a mess! I kept her in the utility room, but she was bouncing off the walls, so now I have muddy puppy prints up as far as she can reach. Her feet are so big and furry and hold that med really well. I need to mop the floors now too. I tore up my carpet when I moved back here, as my renters DESTROYED my house. I put laminate floors down and they are wonderful!!! Cold, but wonderful. They show the dust like mad, but 5 minutes with endust on a dust mop and they are clean. Or Were until Sadie!! now they need to be mopped and scrubbed too. Ah Well. easier to clean than the carpets were. LOTS easier. Cheaper too. I think Next year I will rip up the carpet in the office too, and put down laminate here also. Eventually I will have all the rooms done, and will be closer to keeping a clean house. I am not the best housekeeper though. Other things are more important to me than a perfect house. I LIVE in mine. and so do all of my animals. So if you ever decide to stop in, be forewarned!!!

Well What can I say?

Claire. You are a pricess that comes from a rich
family. You do what whatever your mom tells you
not to do because your dad says its ok.
Hopefully from your experiences you learn that
you are not the only one people like!

Lazy Saturday...

What a lazy day...I woke up at 630, peed, then crawled back under the covers, Sadie was not awake yet, so I figured I would take advantage of that fact and go back to sleep. I slept until 11:30!! I needed it though. To night is STRIKE night. We have a cast party pre-show at 530 then the final show, then we have to strike the set. This will take us until 200 in the morning at least!! UGH> This is the part I really hate. I can't lift, I can't do stairs, But I feel I need to be there because it is mandatory for everyone else. I'll work until my Knee swells up and then I'll sit.

It is really getting nasty out there. We are sposed to get slammed with a storm tonight. The wind is already starting to blow. My luck the lights will go out tonight during the show. I guess I better have a few flashlights ready huh?
Sadie is outside right now, I sent her out to spend some time...before the rain hits. She is assuming the position to poop, and a leaf will blow by, so after it she goes, then re-assumes the position...and so on. She'll stay out a while I'm Afraid.

I am cold clear through right now. Still in my new flannel niteshirt, but no socks. I just got up and closed my window, and turned the heater on to take the chill off the room. I looked out front and you cant even see the Olympics!! It is UGLY out there. Better bring in some wood before it gets dark. I hate to try to stumble around in the dark looking for the woodpile. Then it will be time to hit the road.

See me...

HMMMMMM.......

I stole this from Don's site

Which Personality Disorder Do You Have?
brought to you by Quizilla

I wish CJ's Gary would give us an update! I know he is still there with her, but why didn't he take her laptop and plug it in? Who updated while she was in the last time? That is when I first met her.

I have to work today at the playhouse. Yay...money coming in. It isnt much but just enough to pay for my meds is really good. We are sold out for OVER THE RIVER AND THROUGH THE WOODS, so I wont have a lot to do today. I can start blocking act I of GODSPELL. ANd start calling some places and trying to recruit a Jesus...Tacklebox face boy called and wondered why he wasn't picked...DUH! can't sing, can't act, too much metal on his face...We'll get there for sure.

Emotional me.

I stole this one from Wanda....She knows I cant resist these...


You represent... naivete.
So innocent and trusting... you can be very shy at
times, but it's only because you're not sure
how to act. You give off that "I need to
be protected vibe." Remember that not all
people are good. Being too trusting will get
you easily hurt.

Lilacs For CJ

Leslie did this first, and was such a good idea I think we all ought to send her flowers...Cyber wise, because they won't allow flowers in CIC.

Morning musings

I had to get up early this morning, Donna had to go get her car from the repair shop, and I got the pleasure of taking her there. I say pleasure and mean it, because the morning was gorgeous!!! The temperature got down into the low 20's last night, so everything was covered with white hoar frost. As I was coming back along the curves by the O.L.F., the fog had formed along the ground. THe sun was just coming up over the trees, and turning the fog pink and mauve. It was forming in layers too, so there were different colored stripes in the fog levels. Beautiful. The hunters were out in their bright orange vests and their dogs, walking the cut wheat fields looking for pheasants. The spider webs that were woven between the two sets of power/telephone lines were highlighted by the fog and frost, and really stuck out, where you wouldn't normally see them.

I was driving along thinking what a beautiful morning and that I was glad I was able to see it. I then thought of CJ. She is undergoing a heart operation today, that might not work. I have to have faith that it will. There are so many things that are done today, that even five years ago, were un heard of. I do not know her entire history, as we just met, but she hit a nerve in me, and I feel very close to her. Don't even know her real name. I said a little prayer that she would be able to see many more mornings like this. I hope it gets answered.

SAdie is running through the house like her tailend was on fire. She was outside in the freezing weather for an hour, runnning and chasing the birds away from the feeders. I worked so hard to get them to come, and she is chasing them all away. I have not seen "Lola" in awhile. I know squirrels do not hibernate, but they also do not come out when it gets cold. They store up for the winter, all the peanuts, and pumpkin seeds I have been putting out all summer. I even saw her burying some right in the grass. I did not see any sticky notes, so I don't know how she'll remember where she puts them. I was kinda hoping that once the sun came out she would reappear.

I have been trying to spit out things that have been in my head, and get them all formulated so that they would be coherent, but all I get are spits and spots. Lots of ideas, but nothing of substance. I even thought about posting some of the writing that I did while I was stationed in Adak. Nothing to do there but reflect and write. I would take a beer or two, and a tablet and go out on the tundra or to the Bering Sea wall, or up a mountain, and just write what ever popped into my head. Some times it was about the scenery, sometimes about my Non-relationship with Bob, sometimes about the stress and frustration of knowing that I have to work, and when I work, I have to excel, and how lonely, how terribly lonely it can be. I do not have many friends I have a tendency to push them away. Afraid that either they want to be friends because they think they can get special treatment, or what....? I have made some with the playhouse, and I am thankful for them. I have made some with my blog, even though I have never met them. I have some that I know from my travels, that I keep in casual touch with, But the best friends I have are my babies. There is a fuzzy soft grey tabby half on my lap, and half on the keyboard, that purrs softly, and loves me unconditionally. There is an orange tabby that loves to lick my face around 400 AM and then try to crawl up my nose, all the while purring loudly and making mudpies in my boobs. THere is an old Manx that sleeps beside me every night as close as he can get to my butt, then stretches out his claws and digs into my fat ass. He LOVES me. He purrs loudly and drools all over the sheets. There is Ethel, who is the Feral kitty, and loves me so much, she knows when I am in pain, and she will sneak up and lay on my hand so all I have to do is wiggle my fingers and I am scratching her tummy. She also drools when she purrs. Sadie loves me, but she is still an ornery little shit, and likes to terrorize everyone.

I have a special relationship with my SIster. We fight, we argue, we have differing views on religion, and politics, but she is always there. I can call her at anytime and laugh. We watch tv and if we see something funny we call and as we pick up the phone we are laughing because we know what the other is going to say. You will come to like her too. SHe is the one who keeps herself so busy doing things for her friends that she has no time for herself. But that is what keeps her going. I envy her.
