    Twizzlers on shoes, what a waste. No way, I love twizzlers. Does dog poo work? I can put dog poo on the bottom of my shoes, actually not hard at all, I'll just walk in the backyard. Will that work, I don't really want to try it, but I will if I have to.

    M, Starby is having major computer problems, she's having a fit, she's going through AMHD withdrawl. She says to tell you that she did a defrag. Also, and I'm slapping her for it, she downloaded Stopsign, a virus scan that promises to scan and get rid of all viruses, first one free, then you have to sign up to receive more. Bad idea, but she did it, and now the computer, well it no worky. Any ideas? I'll pass them on.

    Is it late? It's 230am here. My friends just left... a mess at my place :(

    Ah, I'm too pooped to clean. I'm hoping it'll all be cleaned by the time I wake up by some cleaning fairy.

    M, Starby wants me to tell you, she has "threatfire" and "Avast", can't run them, but she has them. Sorry, she's upset.

    I have no idea what those two programs are. I've always used AVG

    Good luck with the fairy sneezy - I could use one of those :)

    Its 2:30 here too, I guess it isn't too too late, but I'm pretty exhausted - feels like 4

    I must admit I haven't heard of either of them , maybe she needs to take it to a computer shop. Sounds like she has a virus so it'll need to be cleaned out properly.

    M, I just looked up this Stop sign virus scanner, did some research, yup, it's a virus, and a nasty one. Found a site, directions on how to remove said program/virus/crap, and then an update, it can't be removed. I think Starby may be pooched. I'd love to help her, but unless I can actually sit in front of her computer (she lives 5 hours away) it's not likely, I'm a visual person, find it really hard to explain step by step instructions to anyone.

    I'll look in to it some more. If anyone has any ideas, Starby would really appreciate it. She's having convulsions from AMHD withdrawl. We have to help her. ;)

    Not really a great solution, but sometimes system restore (if its XP) can help you out, at least to get your stuff off and restore the computer to its factory state. That's usually the best way out of these jams -- a full restore to new condition - but you lose your info.

    I'll have a look for a fix.

    I just checked the stop sign thing... there's a debate on whether it's a bad site. Regardless, at this moment, I suggest possibly getting AVG to see if it'll get rid of it. I personally use AVG and I'm pretty sure it's a decent program. I also suggest following biggie's advice by using system restore.

    Starby, the computer team is looking for a solution. From now on, you are not allowed to download anything without running it by everyone first, and I mean everyone. You got it! :)

    Jeesh, okay, can't say I'm completely innocent, I learned that lesson the hard way.

    Ah ladies and gents... it's 320am here... and I have an early morning, so I must bid adieu.

    Biggie - have a good time at the beach. I'll make due with my pool.

    Starbs - best of luck? Sorry I can't help!!

    Night Sneezy, have fun in your pool. Biggie, beach, not fair. M, beach you don't go to, so not fair. I have a sprinkler, and a kiddie pool, made of plastic, 4 inches deep, yup fun times here. ;)

    Starduck, the blonde duck, love it. Do blonde ducks taste better? Do blonde ducks have more fun, and down? Remember, the dogs ripped open my down comforter not long ago, so, duck dinner and new down, is there a downside (ha, ha) not for me! ;)

    No beach tonight, maybe next week.

    Just got a new bathing suit the other day, I need to go try it out :) Almost time to go through all my clothes, I'm getting a little tired of them all. I need some ladies to help me pick out my clothes :)

    Not really sure why, but I find this song REALLY catchy...

    Don't make fun of me, I've always been a fan :p

    Oooh, that's better than the beach. Clothes shopping, and I don't have to spend a dime. Wait, I might, where are we going shopping? You're near NYC, so many possibilites, oooh, got to save some cash.

    Bathing suits are evil, I hate them. Could be because I've had two kids and my body suffered. Yup gravity sucks too, I won't say which parts it's sucking, but it sucks. :) I haven't found a bathing suit I like in, oh, 9 years, coincidentally the age of my son, actually, 10 years, I was pregnant 9 years ago, bathing suits, pregnancy, bad picture, not good, trust me, really.

    But, I'd go to a nudist beach, everyone wears the same suit there. ;)

    Kids, Alty tired, Alty need sleep, Alty's kids wake up early, Alty go to bed. Goodnight kids, be good and sleep tight. :)

    Alty out. :)

    I will get it looked at sooner or later. But with over a grand in vet bills, (have to take Nik in again because she has an awful cough, and she sounds like a goose) and having to fix my van again... the puter is not the first in line. :( ::sob... sob::

    There is one program that I've run before that has seemed to work pretty well, so I think I will try it again. It's called "housecall". I should've never downloaded that "Stopsign" thing, because my puter worked wonderful after I downloaded it, but now they want money, and it seems like they are screwing things up until I sign up with them. I still think it's got something to do with the disc that my Dad installed though. "SpyDoctor" That is really when it started to slow down my system.

    How come you are sitting at home on a Sunday eve Batman?
