I personally would never jeopardize my machines or my friends by using any type of smilie site and when I get email with that crud on it I do not appreciate it and I strip it clean before I ever consider forwarding it. For goodness sakes at the very least put dr.web on your browsers and scan those site links before you even go there and definitely each item before you download it. http://www.freedrweb.com/browser/ Free Dr.Web LinkCheckers for your browsers On the pro security help forums if we see the same person come in with infections on more than 2 occasions we know they do not care about their own pc, others pc, or our time that we are volunteering to help. We will move on to someone that needs and appreciates the help. It is being smart and safe surfing and not being part of the problem, safe hex! If you save any thing including a smilie file from anywhere before you ever open it and preferably before you download it scan it for viruses. right click on it and choose scan. That sure won't protect you from everything but it might save you from some infections. The main issue today is that I am seeing hundreds of websites that look legit that are infecting pcs daily with the dreaded antivirus xp and let me tell you that is nothing to sneeze at because the new ones we are working on are carrying rootkits and if you don't know what a rootkit is then get busy learning, you DO NOT want one on your pc.

Assuming you have a Windows system (as opposed to an Apple/Mac), click on your "Start" Menu and... Start --> Programs --> Accessories --> Notepad I created a shortcut on my Desktop for Notepad so I don't have to go through the "Start" menu each time. (To create a similar shortcut: Click & hold on Notepad and drag it to your Desktop)

Where do I start?? I love your colorful, cheerful, fun laundry!! I could never have envisioned those tiles laid. and painting the cabinets just made a night and day difference. Then you went above and beyond with the wall treatment--love it!! Beautiful house, beautiful boys! Must also comment on your finger. Was it diagnosed as arthritis or is that just an assumption? I ask because it sounds like my middle finger. I developed a "trigger finger" after a project that required much repetitive motion. If so, it is treatable. Thinking of you and your little one and will be watching for more pics of your projects! Liz

Years ago, when partner was popular here for unmarried sharing a bed (it could be same or opposite, but lent itself to opposite because of the ambiguity), a professional lecturer was talking about her partner and had the whole audience wondering. I was at a meal with her later and she was marveling that so many people assumed she meant gay partner rather than business partner (she hadn't said anything that would make us know she meant business, so I think her marvel was disingenuous and she liked the ambiguity). I DON'T CARE! But I really find the games difficult. I spent half a year in an "It's Pat!" quandary about a young lady's SO. I didn't care what the physical/social gender was, but I wanted a pronoun! Remember POOSSLQ? And POSSSLQ?
