I apologize if you see underlined words when you read the blog today. I have been invaded by Text Enhance, again. This has happened several times in the past. It's a very, very, very annoying program. It's adware or malware or some other type ware that attaches to the computer via Adobe Flash, or so I'm led to believe.
It's on my Chrome browser but not my I.E. I have it but Wanda does not. I've spent the past TWO HOURS trying to get rid of it. Everything I've done in the past failed. This is probably the tenth time I've had this problem. It's like the proverbial bad penny that keeps cropping up. The number one fix on all the help sites suggests checking Chrome extensions and disabling it. I've checked my Chrome extensions eighty seven times. It, nor anything odd or different, is listed on there.
I do not have anything other than ad block and spell check extensions. I've never had anything other than ad block and spell check extensions. I never will have anything other than ad block and spell check extensions.
Once again I am ready to throw this lap top computer out the window. Before I do that maybe I should shut it down, unplug it from the wall, and leave it alone for an hour or so?
Over the last couple of weeks our washing machine got squirrely, the cable box went goofy, and the I-pod player went on vacation. Before I spent one second with the owners manuals, looked on line, or punched in one phone number, I tried my go-to electronics fix all; I unplugged them, counted to sixty, and plugged them back in. Problems solved.
Maybe these electronic devices need a time out every so often? Take away electricity for a minute and they discharge enough to start working again.
So here I am trying to write while frustrated and angry at Text Enhance. It pisses me off that something I don't want can bum a ride on my computer. I have no idea where it came from or how to get rid of it. I'll spend some time working on it later. I'll try unplugging my brain, maybe that will help?
Today is Scurvy Awareness Day. Tired, muscle weakness, joint and muscle aches, bleeding gums, and rash are symptoms of the condition caused by a lack of vitamin C. The S.A.L. (scurvy awareness league) must be doing a good job getting the word out. Scurvy outbreaks are very rare. Don't forget to drink your O.J.
An 80-year-old woman says she accidentally swallowed a diamond at a charity event in Tampa, Fla. As part of the event, the 280 attendees had a chance to win a 1.03-carat diamond, which was placed at the bottom of one glass of champagne -- all the other glasses had cubic zirconias.
"I thought I'd drink a bit of champagne so I didn't have to stick my finger so far into the glass," said the retired real estate broker. "We were laughing and talking when I realized I swallowed it. What a dumb thing." It was not until the event was over that she told organizers what happened.
"She said she swallowed what was in her glass, but as luck would have it, she was scheduled for a colonoscopy in two days."
During the colonoscopy, a doctor retrieved the stone, which was then brought to a jeweler, who confirmed it was in fact a real diamond.
As her son says, "All's well that ends well."
.....Hey doc, while you're in there maybe you could look around for diamonds?
Some people are so damn lucky. I have a colonoscopy and they find polyps.
A visit to some misheard statements one more time.
She said, "William H. Macy is in this too."
He heard, William H. Macy made some stew.
She said, "My car is in the street."
He heard, My car is in the tree.
She said, "It's an e-gift so I can't do anything about it."
He heard, It's in Egypt so I can't do anything about it.
This was in the RAV4 on our way to the store.
She said, "Two deer just ran across the street at Treat and Navarone."
He heard, Two kids are not getting their Easter treats and they are all alone.
Have a great week end and come back Monday.
