12:56 am

saanichcat

thanks rose old buddy

12:56 am

grannyrose

less of the old, thank-you!! ...lololol

12:57 am

grannyrose

mind you this is the first time in almost 5 days when i have felt anything under 110 years old.

12:58 am

VolleymomDee

so glad for the improvement; must have been a rough 5 days

12:58 am

saanichcat

!!! more of a form of endearment, the two words together. Anyway we are only as old as we feel

12:59 am

grannyrose

i know saanichcat....was pulling your leg...

12:59 am

saanichcat

and some days its 110. poor rose.

12:59 am

saanichcat

I knew you were

1:00 am

grannyrose

dee, it has been. just on monday morning i woke up with laryngeal spasm. don couldn't understand what i was doing...

1:01 am

VolleymomDee

what causes that? Were you making strange noises?

1:01 am

grannyrose

once i was over it, i explained to him what it was.....and he said....well, why didn't you say something? for goodness sake!!

1:03 am

VolleymomDee

what happens exactly when that occurs? What causes them? How do you treat them?

1:03 am

grannyrose

dee, your throat muscles go into spasm, usually because something touches the vocal cords. you can't get air in or out. in my case i think the CPAP had let some wa5 up my nose, and i had breathed it in.

1:04 am

rururocks

I am going to behave now

1:05 am

VolleymomDee

yikes... scarey. I think when I have allergy issues and drainage, I have had that happen before.

1:05 am

grannyrose

it's an emergency in the recovery room...and i know how to handle it on other people. with a severe case you usually have to give a drug to relax the muscles, so in effect you have to completely anaesthetise the patient again, wait a bit, then try to arouse them again.

1:06 am

VolleymomDee

so what did you do at home, to stop it

1:06 am

grannyrose

dee, yes you would have had something quite similar.

1:06 am

VolleymomDee

Glad you are behaving, ru

1:06 am

rururocks

I am all for....arousing

1:06 am

VolleymomDee

LOL... broke your promise already

1:07 am

grannyrose

well i tried to stop panicking for one thing. then i remembered to breath through my nose. if you breath through your nose, it makes your throat relax, usually.

1:07 am

rururocks

I am just following GR's thread dee

1:08 am

VolleymomDee

I noticed that

1:08 am

VolleymomDee

wow, rose... definitely scarey

1:08 am

grannyrose

which is what i tell my patients. to smell the roses/coffee.

VolleymomDee

1:20 am

saanichcat

just noticed that we didn't get the 11:05 red boxes tonight - maybe it's fixed now

1:21 am

VolleymomDee

1:22 am

saanichcat

puglet

Hug,love and hi Rose

2:50 am

puglet

I just got up and Iam running late

2:50 am

Lizlin

Like I said to Pugs, just back from the gym and showered - but I thought Ruru had been entertaining you.

2:50 am

grannyrose

i am so much better. the virus didn't get into my lungs....well not much anyways.

2:50 am

puglet

your feet must be very sore Liz--blisters are ouchy

2:51 am

Lizlin

2:51 am

puglet

thats good Rose

2:51 am

Lizlin

True, pugs - ibuprofen yesterday!

2:51 am

grannyrose

disaster here. our tv towers have gone down. himself is nearly frantic...no tv!!!!

2:51 am

Lizlin

Internet?

2:52 am

Lizlin

Oh no! That would stop you babbling - disaster even more.

2:52 am

grannyrose

liz, just a little wheeziness in the upper respiratory tract.

2:52 am

puglet

it was so muggy here yesterday that breathing was labored--Iam still coughing up junk but not much

2:52 am

puglet

from that aircraft thing Rose

2:52 am

Lizlin

Good to know you're getting better Rose - sounds like you are too, pugs.

2:52 am

grannyrose

salbutamol nebs and a nasal spray and i can BREATHE!!!!

2:53 am

Lizlin

Well, that's a good thing - breathing, I mean.

2:53 am

grannyrose

yeah, like we always say, breathing is a good option in the recovery room patient....

2:54 am

Lizlin

Probably the best option in most cases.

2:54 am

grannyrose

to which one doctor/anaesthetist said...nah, breathing is over-rated....lolol

2:54 am

Lizlin

lol

2:55 am

Lizlin

How long have the TV towers been down?

2:56 am

grannyrose

we think this afternoon.the ABC has been pretty touchy lately, and they were supposed to be working on the towers for that.

2:56 am

Lizlin

Are they telling you anything - like how long this is expected to last. Is there a phone line or something?

2:57 am

puglet

I wonder if Sprite is effected with all the investigating over that plane thing

2:57 am

Lizlin

Do you have DVDs or stuff recorded to keep Don happy - otherwise Rose, it's down to you!!! LOL!

2:57 am

grannyrose

you know, it shows just how much my lungs have recovered with the no smoking. by this time 5 years ago i would have been knocking on ICU's door.

2:57 am

puglet

Put him on a show, Rose--lol

2:58 am

Lizlin

I wouldn't think so, Pugs. It'll all be kept pretty quiet until they have something to say.

2:58 am

grannyrose

you two are too much....

2:58 am

Lizlin

Hope you celebrated the 5 years Rose - that's great.

2:58 am

grannyrose

oh, good, he has managed to find channel 2 high up in the 600's. whew!!

2:59 am

Lizlin

If you were at full health, you'd be saying the same!!!

2:59 am

grannyrose

i might of had to actually talk to him....lol

2:59 am

puglet

the US is having trouble with their planes in another part of the world :( Seems peace will never be

2:59 am

Lizlin

2:59 am

Lizlin

3:00 am

puglet

3:00 am

puglet

3:01 am

Lizlin

Like you said, Rose. Strange!!!

3:01 am

grannyrose

liz, do you think pugs has a touch of voyeurism?

3:01 am

Lizlin

LOL!!!

3:01 am

puglet

what is that?

3:02 am

Lizlin

Voyeurism - watching others.

3:02 am

grannyrose

watching/living precariously through others experiences.

3:02 am

Lizlin

Better explanation.

3:02 am

Trifioso

greetings from insomnia!

3:02 am

puglet

the visit to doctor for sister went fairly well. She has lost five pounds and he had to up her insulin a little

3:03 am

Trifioso

and hello aussies - I have just sent my aussie visitors back to Perth tonight....oh, sad....

3:03 am

puglet

Hey Tri--nice to see you, sorry you cant sleep

3:03 am

Lizlin

Hi Trif - sorry about the insomnia. How was the party?

3:03 am

Lizlin

Hope Mr Trouble didn't cause any.

3:04 am

Trifioso

he was a JERK. I have learned that it is better for me to spend no time with him at all. toxic at any level. but party went off anyway.

3:04 am

grannyrose

yay for pugs sister, and more importantly, yay for pugs for managing her sister's diet so well

3:04 am

Lizlin

Sorry he was a jerk - tough for you but like you said, just keep away.

3:04 am

Lizlin

Did your daughter enjoy herself?

3:05 am

Lizlin

WTG pugs - managing your sister's diet :)

3:05 am

Trifioso

yes, but only by half. all in all, it was an okay party, but not a great one.

3:05 am

puglet

ths guys

3:05 am

Lizlin

Half is better than not at all! Cliche I know! Sounds like you had a good time with the Perth friends, though.

3:06 am

Trifioso

but I did right by my girl. Hopefully someday she will realize all I have done for her - probs when she has her own litter.

3:06 am

grannyrose

awwww, poor trif. and i am not going to crack any jokes either. last time i did that it back fired. person thought i was taking a shot at them. i was actually sympathising. i have been through the most horrid periods of insomnia.

3:06 am

Trifioso

Perth friends were LOVELY.

3:06 am

Lizlin

Awesome!

3:06 am

Trifioso

did I do that grannY?

3:07 am

puglet

Rose, when do you get to return to work

3:07 am

Lizlin

I'm sure your daughter will realise that - in time.

3:07 am

grannyrose

no trif, not you, dear

3:07 am

Trifioso

we went on a whale watch - that was so fun. Hearing the whales breathing, seeing them dive, it was so cool

3:07 am

grannyrose

pugs, hopefully next tuesday.

3:07 am

puglet

good, gives you a little more time to mend

3:07 am

Lizlin

Love whale watching. We haven't been yet this year, since we got back from the UK. Hope to go very soon.

3:07 am

Trifioso

phantom- twenty

3:08 am

Lizlin

And if you're not ready Rose, take more time. B*gger work cover!

3:08 am

grannyrose

so, please, all you insomniacs, please know, i understand what you are going through, and how utterly frustrating it is.

3:08 am

Trifioso

the weather was very strange this week, which put a damper on things, a bit - very overcast and not particularly sunny, then today - sweltering!

3:09 am

Lizlin

Time for me to go. Hubby going out this evening, so early dinner. Hugs to all. Might be back later.

3:09 am

Trifioso

luckily I dont have much on my plate today, granny - sort of a "recoup" day - but I fear that makes it worse - I can take a nap or rest at last later, which then means I am not as tired at night....

3:09 am

puglet

hugs and bye Liz

3:09 am

Trifioso

bye lizlin dear

3:09 am

grannyrose

maybe i might catch you later, liz

3:10 am

grannyrose

after not being able to sleep for the last 4 nights, predominantly due to the fact i couldn't breathe, last night i slept like i had been KO'd.

3:11 am

puglet

rest is good Rose--says you are on the road to health

3:11 am

Trifioso

ha! I did that the day after the party, granny - aussies and daughters went on a shopping jaunt, and I fell face down on the couch like I had been shot. drooled and all :)

3:11 am

grannyrose

i even slept in, after the obligatory early morning visit to the inside outhouse, and took my pain meds as well.

3:12 am

puglet

You might try staying on that road for a while--lol

3:12 am

Trifioso

I need to resolve this before summer's end - no good trying to educate on three hours sleep!

3:13 am

grannyrose

*giggle* trif...once when i woke up in recovery following shoulder surgery, i was told that the drooling was most unbecoming...gee, thanx, i said

3:13 am

Trifioso

that's so mean! What were you supposed to do about it?

3:13 am

puglet

were you drooling over the doctors-lol

3:14 am

Trifioso

hahahah pug! good one

3:14 am

grannyrose

lolol....us recovery room nurses have very strange senses of humour.

3:14 am

grannyrose

huh, pugs....come over here and say that

3:15 am

puglet

giggling

3:16 am

grannyrose

LOLOL, i remember saying that to ruru, and his prompt response was....no ma'am!

3:17 am

puglet

did Ru say he was enjoying his trip

3:17 am

grannyrose

he is home again, that's all i saw, pugs

3:17 am

Trifioso

is ruru traveling? I am so out of the loop these days

3:17 am

puglet

OH, thanks

3:18 am

grannyrose

lolol, trif wants to be in the loop and become loopy. here, dear, let me help you.....one rubber room all ready.

3:20 am

grannyrose

look!!! you can bounce off the walls, the floor, the ceiling...and you can't be hurt....except perhaps if i am already in there...

3:20 am

puglet

that sounds like fun---I want in too

3:21 am

Trifioso

if it has a library, I am in!!!

3:21 am

grannyrose

okay, then we can do a ring-a-ring-a-rosie together....

3:22 am

puglet

lol--sure and well all fall down

3:22 am

grannyrose

okay, throwing in some 'rag' books....can't have anything too hard in there

3:22 am

Trifioso

a very nice woman I know has the most charming cottage on a beach here - very, very isolated....you have to supply your own wa5 and electricty...anyway, she went there for a week this summer. She read 7 books in 7 days. my idea of heaven!

3:23 am

puglet

ooh Tri, that sounds so peaceful

3:23 am

grannyrose

oh, nice, trif

3:23 am

Trifioso

i was so jealous, I must admit

3:25 am

puglet

I need to go shower and if I have time left will be back--love to you all and give Sprite my love to if I miss her--blessings friends

3:25 am

Trifioso

enjoy puglet!

3:25 am

grannyrose

np's pugs. hope your day is good to you, sweetie

3:29 am

grannyrose

trif, would you believe i am finally reading my charles dickens collection? i am nearly 2/3 the way through a tale of two cities. and loving it!!

3:30 am

Trifioso

wow, that is great! I find dickens a real challenge....did make it through the old curiosity shop a couple of years ago...

3:32 am

grannyrose

trif, i just decided i needed to read the classics, and the old authors. have read a lot of morris west too. i just got sick of the porn in the new novels, and the sick violence...

3:33 am

Trifioso

I so get that. I decided a few years back to read all the novels that won the Pulitzer prize for literature.

3:33 am

Trifioso

I was just looking for some new ideas, and thought working of a list would be helpful

3:33 am

grannyrose

oh, that's a good idea. i must do that too.

3:34 am

grannyrose

mind you, i have read ALL of bryce courtney's books, every single one of them...

3:35 am

Trifioso

OMG.....The Power of One is my favorite book right now. I LOVED IT

3:35 am

grannyrose

the other author i love is taylor caldwell. well, her earlier works anyway.

3:36 am

grannyrose

*giggle* last christmas i handed my beloved a list of his books i didn't have, thinking i might get one or two. the darling man found them all, and totally finished my collection for me.

3:37 am

Trifioso

he sounds so wonderful, granny!

3:38 am

grannyrose

he is trif. i have been truly blessed by this man. yes, he drives me nuts at times, but mostly he is adorable.

3:38 am

Trifioso

LOVE

3:40 am

grannyrose

trif, i have been so blessed to find him at my age. we have been friends for over 30 years now, and finally married 10 years ago. we both thought we would have to live our lives out, alone.

3:40 am

Trifioso

what a blessing!

3:41 am

Trifioso

valentine and I are beginning ballroom dance lessons today - I am SO excited! I hope we are at least passable at it

3:43 am

grannyrose

whoot, trif...wtg....how lovely. wish i could get himself on4 a dance floor. but with his nystagmus, he says he gets giddy turning around...

3:44 am

Trifioso

I have no idea how this is going to go. We got this deal thing - four private lessons, four group ones, at a huge discount, so I jumped and bought it.

3:45 am

grannyrose

good for you...maybe i'll see you on dancing with the stars!!

3:45 am

Trifioso

the people at the studio were cute - when are you getting married? oh.Well, what event are you going to? oh. Wait - you mean you just WANT to learn to dance? uh....yup!

3:45 am

grannyrose

roflol, trif....

3:46 am

Trifioso

"dancing with the oafs" more likely

3:46 am

Trifioso

but always keep learning, right? god knows I could use the exercise

3:46 am

grannyrose

i did ballroom dancing as a teen. my dad said, he had never seen the two-step danced like that....we were dancing to the music of the 70's.

3:47 am

Trifioso

ha!

3:47 am

Trifioso

I hope we are both equal at it...if one of us takes to it right away, and the other is a spazz, that will be not as much fun

3:50 am

grannyrose

just give it a go, trif, that's all you can ask of him. xoxox

3:53 am

Trifioso

im going to try to sleep some.goodnight dear grannyrose. blessings to you

3:54 am

grannyrose

blessings to you, trif. hope you catch some really good zzz's, hun

4:34 am

4:35 am

4:36 am

4:39 am

puglet

I made it back for a little while :) Hugs and hi Ruby

4:43 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} miz pugs. i thought you were off to work. so lovely to see you again, hun

4:44 am

puglet

no--just to shower and dress--I got about 15 minutes yet

4:44 am

grannyrose

oooohhh, nice.

4:44 am

puglet

has Sprite been on yet

4:45 am

grannyrose

no, dear. she should be here soon...unless for once she is getting s good night's rest.

4:46 am

puglet

I will probably miss her then :( But at least we got to talk

4:46 am

puglet

my work is getting in the way of my babbling time-lol

4:47 am

puglet

what are you doing tomorrow

4:47 am

grannyrose

how rude!~! babble comes first....lolol

4:48 am

grannyrose

if the weather allows, i think i might go out into the garden for a while...

4:48 am

puglet

yes, sunshine and fresh air would be good for you

4:49 am

grannyrose

that's what i thought...good for my sanity...

4:49 am

puglet

my legs and feet were swollen from the weather yesterday and the soaking in the river has helped that

4:50 am

puglet

have you got a bench out there to sit and enjoy the outdoors maybe even take a book

4:50 am

grannyrose

nice, pugs...you don't realise, i think, how fortunate you are to have you own private stretch of river to use...

4:51 am

puglet

I do know---I went through a little to obtain it--but I got it

4:52 am

grannyrose

pugs, i am thinking i might actually get some gardening done. i still have one rose which i need to prune. and the daffodils and jonquils are sending up their new leaves and flower stems. and i really must cut back the gladiolii.

4:52 am

puglet

just dont over do it Ms Rose

4:53 am

grannyrose

i promise i won't....i have a stool i can sit on. and i have found the long-handled tongs used for bbq's are great for pulling weeds.

4:54 am

puglet

oh what a good ideal! My river is a place I go for peace and talking to God

4:54 am

puglet

is that like a milking a cow stool?-lol

4:55 am

grannyrose

yes, pugs...it is time where i can talk to God, or sort out what is troubling me.

4:55 am

grannyrose

roflolol, pugs. my milking days are long over.

4:55 am

puglet

Peach has not been on for awhile or Ive not seen her, have you

4:56 am

puglet

we all need a place like that

4:56 am

grannyrose

peach was on much earlier today/night. during the last grid. she appeared quite happy and well.

4:57 am

puglet

good

4:57 am

grannyrose

does she have your email addy? if not, may i pass it on to her for you?

4:58 am

puglet

well my dear Rose, my time is up---you have a good night rest and enjoy tomorrow---no she dont, I dont think--okay

4:59 am

grannyrose

okay, darling. just rest if you can, when you come home. xoxox

4:59 am

puglet

hugs and Love

5:23 am

sukee

Good morning if anyone is around

5:47 am

grannyrose

5:48 am

grannyrose

ugh...*out*

5:48 am

sukee

Hi granny, doing well so far. How about you?

5:49 am

grannyrose

much better, thanx dear. i can actually breathe today, without the sound effects...lol

5:49 am

sukee

That is always good.

5:49 am

grannyrose

so what's on for today, sukee?

5:50 am

sukee

Going for my workout, having coffee and back home to do some work.

5:51 am

grannyrose

doesn't sound too taxing. correct me if i am wrong.

5:52 am

sukee

Not tough at all

5:52 am

sukee

It gets me in airconditioning for a couple of hours too

5:52 am

grannyrose

nice, hun. home to do some work entails what exactly...

5:53 am

sukee

Writing, I write blog posts for a business blog... get paid for it.

5:54 am

sukee

I write about 200 of them a month

5:54 am

grannyrose

ahhh....i would be lucky if i wrote half that amount...unless you count patient reports/shift.

5:55 am

grannyrose

sukee, what sort of business?

5:55 am

sukee

It's not that hard, 225 words each. Basically write a short post about events happening cities in the US and Canada and just get a keyword or two it.

5:56 am

sukee

It's an international printing company. Minuteman Press.

5:57 am

sukee

I am contracted through a company in the UK that has clients in the US and Canada :)

5:57 am

grannyrose

hmmm, sounds like it could be a tad complicated. i am guessing you would have to keep up with all their affairs.

5:57 am

grannyrose

do you have to travel? i.e. to headquarters?

5:58 am

sukee

Not really, I just have to add a keyword or two. But, yes, I am learning a bit about the printing industry.

5:58 am

grannyrose

new learning curve for you, then hun?

5:58 am

sukee

No, it is all done from home. Have never met the guys who I work for, just through email and they send me month to paypal.

5:59 am

sukee

It's all ghost writing so the people at Minuteman Press have no idea I exist :)

6:00 am

sukee

Doesn't bother me as long as I get paid and they have never let me down yet :)

6:00 am

grannyrose

oh, dear....well i am glad you exist, dear. so the blogs are likely to reach out to who, exactly?

6:01 am

sukee

To let people know about their services, I guess to get new customers. I guess if someone searches for something in their area they may find my article and be taken to the website.

6:01 am

sukee

Anyway, I have to go get ready to go out

6:02 am

sukee

Nice talking to you.

6:03 am

grannyrose

that makes sense. so you are the link between the great unwashed and minuteman. okay, sukee, hope your day is all you wish it to be. xoxox

I agree with River. It's one thing if someone asks for a clue, but random alias cluing isn't really necessary.

7:48 am

Charm

My apologies again. I thought as I logged on that there was a request for 7s.

7:49 am

There was a request for stats

I didnt mean to make a big deal out of it but just getting started and all these clues pop up with no one asking for them. I like keeping chat on and chat from time to time with my babble friends

8:36 am

Enomis65

8:36 am

Anniebrook

River, It's not a big deal. When I first start I like finding words on my own.

8:37 am

Enomis65

taking a break --- see you later.

8:41 am

MollyL

If someone asks for a clue, you have the option of turning chat off if you want to find words on your own. If people just blurt clues out, you don't have that option.

jaxx7

Aren't we humans odd? Earlier in the year we were drowning and cold, now we have heat and we still moan.

9:12 am

car.eeyore

I have to say, our winter was very mild and this summer has been one of the best I can ever remember! Just a couple of hot/humid days...nights have been cool with a breeze.

9:14 am

jaxx7

Ours was wet and very windy with the occasional very cold day thrown in. I don't think we Brits are ever happy with the weather. What else would we have to talk about if we were?

9:15 am

Buttonman

morning all...having trouble finding the FA 5/16...can someone clue me please

9:16 am

phaeton

I see there are new rules for the chog concerning clues

9:16 am

pl of fa4/7

9:17 am

I know Jaxx7, but I cannot find the fa4/7 either...clue for it please

9:17 am

Hi, phae. You can never please evryone on Babble all of the time, just like the rest of the world.

9:18 am

Oh! Where?

9:18 am

jaxx7

Price paid for a ticket

9:18 am

phaeton

9:19 am

Buttonman

Jaxx7, it is the four before the ticket price

9:19 am

Buttonman

sorry, you are right, thanks

9:19 am

crosshair

I do not follow any "rules" I do what i do. The chog has a "off" button for those who disaprove and make "rules"

9:19 am

jaxx7

There is scope within the game for all - those who don't want clues, don't chat until you have fireworks. Simple

9:20 am

car.eeyore

Ok.

9:20 am

MLFAN17

hello again. help with the r next to the w on the 5th column please?

crosshair

mmm, steak...

9:22 am

jaxx7

I don't have a word before fa4/7 sorry

9:23 am

not exactly an "off" button but it has the merit of disabling chat as needed:)

9:23 am

MLFAN17

car hmm?

9:23 am

phaeton

ahh..true, but they weren't complaining about the chat...just what was being put in it.

9:24 am

crosshair

well, then they do not need to look

9:24 am

sukee

If you don't want to see chat you can click on who's online.

9:24 am

jaxx7

Exactly, crossy!

9:24 am

crosshair

unless we have a troll, or the language gets vile, we are all mostly adults here and can deal with it as it comes up

9:24 am

phaeton

lol...that's what I think also crossy.

9:24 am

car.eeyore

It is an alternate spelling of a person who burns things down

9:24 am

9:26 am

phaeton

9:26 am

sukee

I don't know what Rs belong to that

9:27 am

I can whip up some other for you

10:01 am

MLFAN17

cross that sounds interesting. i love pancakes

10:01 am

phae i agree

I actually have some bloobies;)

10:03 am

just getting ripe here

10:03 am

crosshair

when I cooke them for the whole family, i use two large pans at once and time then 5 minutes apart so the first one is done just as the second is being sugared up

10:03 am

crosshair

these are frozen ones from last year;(

10:04 am

I could actually care less about the rest of the meal in a traditional day. My guests leave the table too full for lunch, then perhaps a nice veggie cold plate with dip for dinner, just picking food in the summer, perhaps some hearty soups or stews in the winter:)

My da, for example is diabetic and his nutritional needs differ

10:15 am

if the stupid dolt pays attention to his sugar levels!

hi corss

MLFAN17

cross

10:29 am

crosshair

howdy again, MLF:) I am still roaming around the chat, just bouncing tween this and my work

10:29 am

crosshair

I love this 22 inch wide screen monitor. it lets me do a rather workable split screen to multi-task

10:30 am

crosshair

Two monitors would of course be better, but then I would need a new desk, one with more real estate

10:32 am

crosshair

then again, I am not sure if this old dinosaur of a computer of mine supports multiple monitors... shall have to look into it

10:42 am

MLFAN17

i have a large screen as well took hubby and i both a while to get used to it. my computer isnt that old but it has malware was hacked and a lot of stuff in it because of facebook

10:42 am

MLFAN17

so its loud and runs constantly

10:43 am

crosshair

wish I had 5 minutes with your computer. the ma-ware would be history

10:43 am

crosshair

mal-ware

10:44 am

crosshair

if you do not have it yet, load up a free copy of the malwarebytes software program. it will help

10:44 am

MLFAN17

i know i need to isntall some program to remove stuff from puter

10:44 am

crosshair

see below:))

10:44 am

MLFAN17

i have missing drivers and our homepages are gone etc

10:45 am

crosshair

you can go into system properties and have the computer do a search online for drivers

10:45 am

crosshair

with enough digging, you can always find them

10:45 am

MLFAN17

no its a specific program or two to get rid of whatever it is in puter. If id di i think all the things that need to be fixed or removed are check marked

10:45 am

Buggie

Malwarebytes Antimalware and AdwCleaner. The second one is the most effective at the moment (and only takes a minute to run) :-)

10:45 am

MLFAN17

so i dont know if i have to uncheck mark stuff to keep it or not fix it

10:46 am

MLFAN17

or fix it or it deletes the programs sometimes i dont know what to keep and what not to

10:46 am

crosshair

Like i say... too bad it is not here with me. Not that I am tooting my own horm but if i can refurbish and keep an old rig like mine from 1998 running, I would have great fun giving your machine a go

10:46 am

crosshair

horn

10:47 am

Buggie

With those two programmes you just delete everything it finds, no questions about knowing what to uncheck.

10:47 am

MLFAN17

cross if i could get rid of the problems and whatever fb's info i would be in heaven

10:47 am

crosshair

I also love C cleaner

10:48 am

MLFAN17

but if its things i need like java or something then i cant

10:48 am

MLFAN17

with c cleaner do i have to do anything just let it clean it or would it ask me anything specific?

10:49 am

crosshair

with windows 7, it has a remote assistance feature, but you must really trust a person as they can just take over your computer and all it contains from a distance

10:49 am

crosshair

I would use mal-warebytes forst, then c cleaner or the one buggie mentioned

10:49 am

MLFAN17

i had c cleaner once but the last time i was going to try to install it again it said it was infected or something

10:50 am

crosshair

though make sure you know all your site passowrds when using c cleaner as it will removed all the auto-log in settings and cookies

10:50 am

Buggie

CCleaner does NOTÂ clean infections, it can only repair some basic errors. Wouldn't do anything for you PC in the state it is now.

10:50 am

MLFAN17

side note non computer related: my husband drives me nuts lol

10:50 am

crosshair

that is why i suggested malwarebytes, buggie

10:50 am

MLFAN17

buggie it wouldnt help it?

10:51 am

crosshair

then a nice anti-virus check with your favorite version

10:52 am

crosshair

ok, you two have at it. i should get back to my work for a minute anyways. just had an amazing idea on how to kill off one of my pprotagonists;)

10:52 am

Buggie

CCleaner has no antivirus/malware detection, it just cleans out temporary files to make space and repairs registry errors (but not a good idea with an infected computer)

10:53 am

MLFAN17

i tried to fix it once but hubby kept asking questions as i was trying to do research he was being so nosey and i cant concentrate like that so i said forget. I do have the knowlege as to what is going on. My anti virus program seems to be working but it wnats me to update it constantly since it was hacked(computer ). when i do that other thins start happening. Hubby has things happening on his stuff that i used to or have at times since this all started

10:53 am

MLFAN17

bye cross

10:53 am

Buggie

really your top priority is to run AdwCleaner - but it does force a reboot, so make sure you've saved everything before running it

10:54 am

MLFAN17

ad aware yu mean buggie?

10:54 am

Buggie

no

10:54 am

MLFAN17

adw cleaner

10:54 am

Buggie

ad aware is a full antivirus. install that on top of your current antivirus software and they'll conflict with each other

10:54 am

Buggie

in one word, adwcleaner

10:55 am

MLFAN17

ah ty

10:55 am

MLFAN17

i used to use ad aware

10:55 am

crosshair

popping back in; as buggie says , do not mix Ad- aware with things like spy-bot search and destroy or they will think that each other is a virus! lol

10:56 am

crosshair

back out..poink!

10:56 am

MLFAN17

i have used it with anti virus programs before

10:56 am

Buggie

spybot and ad-aware should work okay with each other, but ad-aware will confilct with any antivirus, avast, MSE, kasersky mcafee, etc

10:57 am

Buggie

that will cause your PC to seriously slow down, throw out random errors, refuse to update, etc...

10:57 am

Buggie

ad-aware used to be just a malware cleaner (like spybot, adwcleaner and malwarebytes), but then they decided to become a full antivirus, and have been messing PCs up since...

10:57 am

MLFAN17

i have never ran them together

10:59 am

MLFAN17

buggie do you have jo5?

10:59 am

MLFAN17

buggie really they are anti virus now? hmm

10:59 am

Buggie

nope, I've only made it to the Ts so far

10:59 am

MLFAN17

never mind i got the jo5

11:00 am

MLFAN17

on the 2nd column i have 2 T's left

11:00 am

Buggie

yes, ad-aware is now to be avoided at all costs, when a few years back it used to be the main malware cleaner

11:00 am

MLFAN17

this grid is turning outto be harder then i thought it was going to be

11:03 am

Buggie

I'm not finding it too bad. But then my goal is nbt/nbs with at least half of each tile, I rarely finish a grid

11:03 am

MollyL

It is surprising how many people are still running ad-aware

11:03 am
