In memory of those we lost in the past years... this dedication is to you, the eccentrics, the free thinkers, people who made a difference in our lives both in the real world and on the net.Thank you for the memories.

You'll never self-actualize the subconscious canopy of stardust with that attitude.
Got a severe scare from our computer today. I was working on cutting and pasting some funny stuff to this forum and when I clicked on A youtube link a full screen warning came up that I had been locked out of our computer. And the only way it could be fixed was if I called this "windows" number 555-xxx-xxxx and to NOT turn off or reboot the computer. I started to panic and get flustered as I could not X out or doing anything. I started to get my phone, buuuuuuut, decided I had nothing to lose by doing the button push turn off to see what happened. After it shut down, I turned it on again.......nothing seemed to be wrong. So I started the youtube cut and paste thing again............same thing happened. To make a long story short, I shut down the computer again. I had to do it once more after that. The "suspicious youtube site vanished and I had no further problems since. I told Carla about it and she said I did the right thing........shut the fucking thing down and let the computer do its thing.

Never call the number...it's a scam.My MIL called once and it took me a full day to straighten the thing out after she gave them access...luckily she hung up when they wanted money and shut it down. Never ask that woman for money. https://www.bruceb.com/2017/04/how-to-close-a-hijacked-web-browser/
Going back to the orthopedist tomorrow to have more xrays and replace my cast. The pain is manageable, unless I forget about the booboo and move wrong. Have not taken even a Tylenol since Sunday morning and none of the Oxy they prescribed. Biggest pain is when I jerk myself awake at night and my broken arm does something like a bullwhip motion. That hurts.
