Something strange today?

15 years ago

Is it just me or is something in the air?

Today my TV controls won't work the TV, it will turn it on & off and raise the sound but nothing else on both controls. Then I go to our website to add a recipe and it went haywire!! It changed everything and kept moving things around. I think I got it fixed after 2 hours.

I thought it might be a virus but I don't seem to be having any other problems anywhere else.

Are you having problems today with TV or PC?

No problem here. We have Brighthouse. Do you have cable or is your TV/computer through satellite? Hope your problem is over.

berryman, you are seriously creeping people out!!! You can see why people don't invite you to stay at their houses on your way to Nova Scotia!! But if you give me some notice, and let me pat you down at the door, I'll reconsider....

This sounds possibly like "rubberneck" where the stem becomes soft. The leaves also flop. I believe it results from rapid growth combined with nutritional deficiency, although I don't know exactly what. I would recommend a dose of a balanced fertilizer.

Sounds like springtails? heres a link, http://www.uky.edu/Ag/Entomology/entfacts/trees/ef420.htm ,they live in the soil and do no harm, theyre cool little critters to have in a terrarium as they do a good job "cleaning house" =) the webing sounds like fungus to me, does it look like something out of a sci fi movie? not quite a spiders web but vainy looking? if so its fungus, wont harm your plants but does sometimes get out of control, get some air circulating in there, maybe run a very small fan, like a computer fan across the top if the terrarium, that should do the trick, make sure you keep an eye on the humidity, dont want to dry out the plants, and if that doesnt work, but it should, and if you dont mind doing it, just take it apart and clean every thing with cool water, then use new sterile potting soil, and redo it =) let us know how it goes =)

I had to log in, but it wouldn't accept my password. I thought Oh, no! Here we go again.

Went to Comp Help, had no problem there and came back here and bingo, no problem.

Why? I have no idea, but Sylvia might be right; I did notice the full moon last night.

My PDA was as whacko as Jacko. And while I was at the store I think every kid under the age of 3 was screaming. I was wondering what planetary alignment was setting off spoiled brats....

Yes, my iPod went dead even though it was showing a full battery. This was about an hour and a half ago, 39,000 feet in the air, so I was closer to the moon, lol. My laptop died too and I had charged it overnight. Never happened before. If it's the moon then I better wait before shopping for a new iPod.

My pc wouldn't come on, today. Best Buy said mother board gone, and to replace they would have to get one online.

Now I have a new pc, but lost my pictures and my folders I had in my email, grrrrrrr

We called Dish network, they are sending out another remote. My website is still acting very strange and weebly said they are not having problems. Could I have a virus????

Joann, I recently changed to DISH and one of the things they mentioned was if you lost or broke the remote there would be a $15 charge for a replacement. I'm curios to know if that is true or not?

I don't think its the moon. It has no influence except for gravitaion tugging the creates tides. (It was very romantic last night, however.) But, now solar flares - that's another very real story. Power companies are watching their grids this summer because they are expecting an uptick in solar flare activity. A Solar burst can knock out electronics in satellites and upset long transmission lines. Good northern light shows are expected.

Sue, mine wasn't broke so to speak, the guy talked us throught the process on the phone and it still wasn't working so they are sending another one to us. They never mentioned a charge for it. This also happened when we first got the dish and we were never charged.

Joann, that is good to hear. I haven't lost or broken mine (yet.) They also told me there would be a $15 charge if there was any problem that meant they had to come out to my house.

A couple weeks ago I had NO TV and a message on the screen. I've forgotten what it said, but I called and they sent a Tech out. He said it wasn't connected right and he replaced all the cable. Said there would be a $15 charge or could be as much as $95.

I'm holding my breath to see what the charge will be. I will NOT pay for something that they did wrong.
