Did AVG 7.5 stop working without a word of warning?!!
Comments (12)yes I hear that a lot about that forum, that is not an official forum it is as it says just a group set up as support, the free version of course does not get provided support as the paid version does, there is an official AVG forum for the paid version. However there are AVG support areas on several of the tech forums, I know there is one over on Castlecops and I believe on Gladiator too or they did have one there. this is the link to the one at Castlecops Grisoft AVG I looked around at all the ones I have been on today and have not seen anything unusual mentioned for AVG 7.5 other than some update problems going out....See MoreA cute little story about my 7 year old and the Dr. Oz show.
Comments (53)Polly, enjoyed your story about your adorable 7 year old. That will be a memory you can cherish forever! I must admit I too thought the "she" who went to the show was your daughter, but it didn't diminish my enjoyment of your story. And when posters questioned the lack of a permission slip to go on a trip, I didn't pay too much attention. But then...OMG, the attacks. Totally out of line. Asking for clarification is okay, attacking the OP is not. I will admit I'm more of a general idea person, and as someone pointed out, decorators are more detail oriented. I got the general idea: this was a cherished moment with your daughter and you were amazed at her intellect, which you should be. (BTW, I think you have a creative, high level thinker on your hands, so make sure you are stashing the cash for her college education!) I just don't get the need to attack you because of the way you constructed the sentence containing the pronoun "she". Yes, detailed oriented folks find that irritating, but I just wish posters would have responded in the spirit in which the thread was begun. When you wrote it, you knew what you meant, and were not spending hours editing it for perfection. Most of us would have written it the same way you did. Polly, give your daughter a hug for me, and tell her that someone out there in cyberworld thinks she is a great kid now and has a fantastic future ahead of her. You must be so proud of her!...See MoreLost a word this morning
Comments (43)I've also had trouble remembering the four words given to me by a medical professional, and I think that measures short term memory. I can speak three or four foreign languages, and sometimes I get them mixed up and substitute Italian words for Spanish words, since I have a larger Italian vocabulary, even though I've spoken a lot more Spanish. I would like to learn Portuguese, but I think I might be too old for that now. I haven't learned a new foreign language since I was in my 30s, but I haven't lost them either. I sometimes have trouble remembering an English word, and that seems to happen more often and not remembering a foreign word. I don't have an explanation for that. When I was speaking Spanish in Mexico (after only one semester of conversational Spanish at an adult education class), I would find creative ways of using what words I did know to get my point or idea across, and I think this exercise was very helpful for me in learning new Spanish words. You might try this exercise to help you remember English words as well, similar to what Marilyn_C suggested. Another exercise you can try is working on crossword puzzles. I think word puzzles are supposed to help your memory....See More7 Little Words today
Comments (23)Lars, I like the cryptogram, too. I do it in the newspaper from time to time. Right now I am obsessed with Spelling Bee in the NYT. I work at it all day. Most days I can get to Amazing and sometimes Genius. I will never make it to Queen Bee unless I stumble on some strange words I don’t know. I follow Deb Koker on Twitter. She is a Spelling Bee master and finishes it every day. I always check her Twitter feed to see how many words are possible. I do the mini crossword every day and try to finish in less than a minute. Sometimes I do the regular crossword but not always. Red Herrig is fun but sometimes their categories are ridiculous. I also am still playing Candy Crush. Another good word game is Alphabetty, but I reached the end of that!...See Moremurraysmom Zone 6a OH
