  1. Myr's still around. A few years ago, I spent a day with him, and his traveling companions, at Hershey Park. I also have done some editing for him.
  2. I don't plan on meeting any more authors. Over the past few years I've met three authors, Jamie, Deweywriter, and Myr. Two of those three have become MIA.
  3. I spent several hours working on the desktop. Most of that time was just installing 58 updates. I learned sometime ago that when you have the many to do, do them in date order instead of trying to load them all at once. I've stil got a few minor things to do like install the printer. FireFox is working fine, I just need to install Color Tabs.
  4. When Hotel Californina first came out, it took awhile for me to hear the whole song. I always managed to catch the instrumental when I turned the car radio on.
  5. The nearest side road and house was a half mile away.
  6. I remember a drive-in in the county east of the one I lived in had one that showed XXX movies.
  7. Looks like I'll be redoing the desktop over the next few days. I downloaded and ran the suggest antimalware. It did find a few things, quarintened them and then I deleted them. I still have the problem. I prefer FF over IE any day.
  8. I'd forgotten about Windows Defender so I checked it this morning. It's set to run daily at 2 am daily and it was clean. I've changed that to do a full scan to see what it shows. I'm also suspicious of Comcast at the moment. Not that long ago, I think they made a change to the spam folder. It used to be that you had to click on a spam email to view it. Now when I go to that folder, it opens the first email to view it. I never opened them, I checke marked then and then hit delete. Generally I view most emails thru Outlook. I'll see what WD comes up with. If it finds nothing, I'll try the mentioned software. At least I can use IE on the desktop with no problems.
  9. After checking again, the version on my laptop is now 33.1, along with Adobe Flash Player 15 ActiveX at 15.0.0.223 and Adobe Flash Player plugin at v15.0.0.189. I'm thinking now that it's something that's gotten on to my desktop computer. as the laptop is functioning with no problems.

    Firefox

    Is anyone having problems with FireFox v.33.1? On 11/11/14, Firefox updated my version to 33.1 on my desktop and since then I've had issues with it. My first clue was McAfee's alert that they tested this page and blocked content that comes from potenially dangerous sites. Allow this content only if your'e sure it comes from safe sites. I'm currently using my laptop to make this post. Then I find ad's from topdeal being placed throughout the page. I also see some words that changed into mouseover words which brings up a pop-up. I ran my anti-virus and came up with a virus and it was taken care of. This morning, I uninstalled FF and re-installed it, no change.. My first impulse was to do a recovery on the desktop and then reload everything from my backup file which I disconnected before the daily scheduled backup.
  11. Not that I'm complaining, but I've not seen any JW's in years. Especially since I moved to Pennsyvania over 20 years ago.
  12. This story reminded me of 'Red Dawn'. At least Josh has taken care of his biggest demon.
  13. Another great read. The ending reminds me of a story by Drake where he let the reader decide the ending of the story for themselves.
  14. Just goes to show you that aliens can be among us at Halloween and we wouldn't know it.
  15. Definitely not what I expected. I kept expecting the hooded figure to do something several times.
  16. Coming in a little late in reading the challenge. I thoroughly enjoyed this tale even tho I figure out who the skin walker was.
  17. Amazing how they can survive a fall of that magnitude. I remember watching a nature show where ducklings had did the same thing only they fell from a tree. Once on the ground, all the ducklings followed the mother for a long trek to the nearest water and safety.
  18. I hope the Authorities have a better time finding and catching those involved. It was almost six weeks ago a sniper shot two Pennsylvania State Police officers, killing one. They know did the shooting and have been unable to find him, tho he has been spotted recently.
  19. A growing trend now seems to be a parent egging their child into fighting someone. The latest case in Philadelphia involves two 7-year-old boys.
