Hi ladies; I just checked it out...clicked the on adult link, no teens naked or other wise. The page said it it was not available. So hopefully it has been taken down. It is just plain spooky, as this happened to me a few months ago w/ another hosta site I tried to access & got some type of adult content. I am not against freedom of speech , or any such thing but not when it concerns children under 18. I have now come across 2 sites that look much like existing hosta sites & are porno. I do not understand enough about computers to phantom who or why or how anyone would do such a thing. I want to see pictures of hosta on hosta sites not,adult content. Of course we just click off , but would be interesting to know why this is done??? Anyone know about this stuff please explain it to this computer dummy. Thanks ~Dot

I know this is an old thread, and I already commented on it, but we just bought a safe, and in the process of researching, I've learned a few things that weren't obvious to me: - Fireproofing absolutely matters, but so does waterproof! Keep in mind that if you have a fire, the firemen are going to soak your safe thoroughly. If they don't, you won't be able to touch the safe for at least half a day. It'll be hot. - If you want to bolt your safe to the floor, you must drill holes in the bottom -- and there goes your waterproofing. An alternative is to "build in the safe" so that wooden beams prevent it from sliding out of its hidey hole. This is not easy to arrange, and thieves can bust it open with an axe; however, it would take time, and most thieves like to be in and out quickly. - Likewise, if you are building an in-floor safe, it seems logical that waterproofing the safe will be near impossible. If firemen were putting out a fire in your house, your in-floor safe would be underneath everything, including water. - The walls of most safe brands contain miniscule bits of encapsulated water, and that's what makes them fireproof. However, because these bits of water would be released in case of fire, it's also wise to store your valuable papers and/or guns in ziplock bags. - Certain name brands of safes contain PLASTIC in -- what's the right word? -- spindles? rods? closey-sticks? that are designed to melt in a fire so that NO ONE can get into the safe right away. This is meant to deter strangers from coming into the wreckage of your burned house and toting off your safe. The company will then replace your safe for free. I think this is a HORRIBLE arrangement, and we bought a different name brand. My thought process: We keep some cash money in our safe, and if we were to have a fire, that cash money is probably the #1 thing I'd want NOW. When my brother's house burned, he literally had nothing but a pair of PJs. My other brother brought him clothes and shoes from his own closet, but he needed eye glasses and diabetes meds NOW. He needed money, and the bank didn't want to give it to him without ID, which he had lost. I would hate to know that I had plenty of cash money in my melted safe, and the company would get it out for me at their earliest convenience. As soon as I learned this fact, I crossed that brand name off the list. - You need to choose between manual and digital operations. We read a number of negative reviews concerning the digital mechanisms, so we bought a manual safe. At the very least, you'll need to replace batteries in a digital safe. And a safe is HARD to open! You can also get a key and bypass the combination altogether. - If you're going to buy online, be sure to go look at safes in person first. The walls are thicker than you might expect, and you care about internal dimensions. Personally, I cared about my safe being large enough to hold a notebook containing documents. - We ended up buying a safe from Craigslist for $45. Great deal, and -- no -- we have no concerns about the guy coming to rob us because he doesn't know where we live. He gave us the combination but not a key. Using the numbers on the wheel, my husband was able to order a key off the internet (yeah, I have a bit of a problem with that too, but realistically those numbers were awfully small, and a thief would have a hard time getting them, then returning to your house once he'd obtained a key). - Our plan is still as I described above: We plan to build a locking closet, and it will contain the two safes we now own (one for passports and cash, the other larger one for documents) . . . plus space that's just behind a locked door, which will keep out most people.

Hi Owbist and Raven, Thank you for your information. The Norton Safe Web Lite popped up on my computer and I decided to try it to see what it does and to my surprise I see no problems with it and it shows on the side of all of the websites if it is safe or questionable. The good ones have a checkmark inside the color green and the questionable ones are in gray, so I stay away from those. I like this kind of thing because I have often wondered about accidently clicking on something in a search and getting hit with something I wouldn't want. This way it gives me something to judge by. I have Norton Antivirus on this computer, so I thought why not try theirs first. I will save your info Raven just in case I would need to change to it. Thanks again and I sure hope you all had a wonderful holiday. thirdfrt!!!

I've researched meds on the internet but have yet to purchase anything because of all the spam I got when I sent an inquiry to one place. After reading the following article, I might consider giving it a try. ABC news-June 20th: "Save Thousands On Your Health Care". A lot of good advice as well as links to sites where one can buy less expensive drugs from reputable pharmacies in Canada, the U.S. and other countries. Check out the related articles at the end of this article that talk about generic meds. Very good info about the differences between generics vs brand. "Are Generic Drugs Safe" and "The Truth Behind Generic Drugs" A link that might be useful: Save Thousands On Your Health Care abcnews.go.com/Health/story?id=5206937
