Off-Topic Garden-Web is Really Annoying!!!!!

I use Firefox and still get the lancome ad. Clicking on the forum doesn't make it go away either. My biggest complaint is the expanding ads at the top that make every thing move when the ad changes size, just as I'm clicking on a new thread, and I click on the wrong one, and have to start over. It's a free site, and I have no problem with selling ad space, but the ones that effect the way it works are annoying.

Am I right to be annoyed or am I just being a crappy daughter??

I finally got to read your whole post. I bet you are feeling like tearing your hair out because she sure doesn't seem to value your time or that you have other things to do. I am so sorry. My dad will be 91 in July and had hip/femur surgery in November and, sadly, it just hasn't healed. The next step is a partial hip replacement with a titanium rod inserted in the femur. What I have noticed is that on the days he has pain he can't seem to hand me his lunch or dinner plate or mail in order for me to clean up. I think it is a mental decision that they can't do the simplest of things. I think contacting any senior centers or any senior programs available through government services might be a great start. There are organizations that will take your mom grocery shopping or to appointments if they are fairly local. Some charge, some take donations and some are totally free. Many grocery stores have online ordering and will deliver to her home for a fee. That could be a lifesaver for sure. Do insist on being in charge of her calendar or you won't be able to attend or drive. She cannot make decisions for you when you are the ride. Let us know what you have decided to do and know that we all support you and most have gone through (or are going through) similar situations. The is a great place to vent! Robyn

I got that this morning! I can't remember which post it was, but I finally had to close the whole thing because it happened every time I opened a post. It's not happening now. My goodness, what a lot of glitches this site has. I still have to sign in through the home forum page.

Really Annoyed with High Fashion Decorative Fabrics

In my part of Virginia, the county has a Consumer Protection Division, which has an online listing of complaints filed by companies and also intervenes on behalf of customers. You might see if Houston has one. Definitely write a letter to your credit-card company challenging the charge on the grounds of deceptive business practices (did you have the chance to watch them cut the fabric? or did they take the roll somewhere else to do it?) The attitude of the people seems to indicate that they knew they were screwing you over but to them a sale's a sale.

AdBlock Plus works with FireFox, Chrome and IE.

I use Chrome solely and I don't see any ads. It's well worth your time to download it.

I tried Firefox with adblock, and it's there, too. We have an ancient computer, and the newer versions of things don't work on our computer. *sigh* One of these days we'll get a new one, but there's other priorities now.

Adblock Plus and the easy list. Adblock alone won't do it.

I've had the same problem today. And I have Adblock Plus.
Sushipup, what is Easy List?

Sally, a refurbished/second hand computer is very very cheap.

Try ebay or Goodwill.

Easy List is part of Adblock Plus. It's either automatic or you check on it to install along with ADP

I uninstalled Adblock Plus and installed it again. And the ad is now gone.

Opera has content blocker built in so you don't have to patch it like Firefox and the others. Just click on what you want to block and say goodbye. You can download starter lists too for getting your filtering going.

I had forgotten about this. Luckily, later in the day the bottom banner was gone.

DH is all about Macs, so yes, you can buy refurbished Macs, but the word cheap doesn't apply to them. Less expensive, yes, but not cheap. I do want to look into that, though.

In the mean time, I hope they powers that be came to their senses and will not use that type of ad again. Maybe it was a malfunction.
