I hate being on a site that I know is safe and doesn’t have any pop-ups nor has ever given my computer any viruses..then I click a supposedly safe link on it and all of a sudden there are fifty things popping up saying that my computer is infected and blah, blah, blah.
So now I’m running my anti-virus thing and having to use explorer instead of firefox. Every time I open firefox it still pops up that same infected page.
So speaking of websites…mine has apparently been having technical difficulties behind my back! Yeah…not even letting me know about it! Gwen tells me that when she tries to visit my site it gives her a DNS error. :/ But apparently everybody doesn’t have that problem because I’m still getting comments and haven’t gotten any other emails saying there was a problem. So I have no idea! I’ve not seen any problems with it lately. I’m going to hope that it magically goes away. lol. I will probably email Mari in a little while to see if she knows anything about it.
Did I ever mention that my grandmother seems to think she needs a laptop? Yeah. She kind-of mentioned it one day about a month ago and I mostly blew it off..but now she is asking me about it again. This is the grandmother that I live right next door to. Sense I am at such a convient reach she will be calling me all the time because she can’t figure something out. I love my grandma but she is one of those that thinks she is better than others. I am perfect in her eyes, of coarse. But my mom, my brother, and my hubby are not. They are ‘others’. Anyways… I don’t want to have to deal with her bugging me all the time. She doesn’t know anything about computers. She has to have written notes on everything..including how to turn it on! She used to have a desktop computer and internet. She got rid of it because she decided it was a waste of money. So years later, for some unknown reason, she is wanting a laptop. (Well, I think part of the reason is that she will be retiring pretty soon and will be sitting at home a lot.) She also isn’t wanting to spend much more than $100. I have to try really hard not to laugh hysterically when she says that. Even Hubbys computer that is an older model cost something like $300 a few years ago. Ofcorse that included our computer guy getting it up to date and adding what anti-virus things he said we needed on it. Oh, and she doesn’t want to go through our computer guy because she doesn’t like him (this goes back to the ‘others’ bit). So she wants me to deal with him, which normally would be fine (except for me having to deal with her), but right now I owe him money and can’t afford to pay him. (He is also a family friend, therefor he doesn’t make us pay upfront if we can’t.) Oh this is all just a headache that I don’t want to deal with.
No, the other two slept on the floor with the blanket, and I was on the sofa without. As for pillows we just had to use the sofa cushions which aren’t as comfortable. It was very cold, haha. I had to go steal a coat off their coat rack ’cause it was freezing.
I don’t like computer viruses either. I used to get them from downloading stuff all the time, until my dad installed anti-virus for me. I think he was just bored of having to reset my computer all the time, and wipe the viruses off. So now I have a billion anti-virus programmes on it, haha.
Can’t you cross Firefox off to get rid of the website. When I open my Firefox it usually asks if I want to remember the previous information and I just click no.
Your Grandma wants a computer?? Aww bless. We got my Grandad one a while ago, but I don’t think he uses it that often. It must be really hard to use one if you haven’t grown up around them. I’m sure she can’t be that annoying when she asks to help, lol.

I hate visiting unsafe sites! I have never really had a problem with popups but it’s crazy that sometimes some sites can be such a hassle.
I think that you should tell your grandmother that she has to handle it on her own, you don’t need the stress or the headache. I really dislike when older people get computers because I don’t like the questions/constant badgering either.
Alrighty, at some point I will actually have a little something about me in here, untill then, this is all ya get. :P Sorry. O and there will be a picture too. For now I'm going to work on this layout. It's almost done. :)
