10:10 am

Chica15

I have a nephew who would be able to get me in, but finding time when the 2 of us could get together has all but been impossible.

10:20 am

Nef

Good Morning Everyone.

10:20 am

MLFAN17

congrats pen

10:20 am

MLFAN17

hi nef

10:20 am

72 Temple Owl

i have been in several place this am and my avast is going crazy, blocking vosteran.

10:20 am

MLFAN17

vosteran?

10:20 am

Nef

Is Google working for people today?

10:21 am

72 Temple Owl

but it does not indicate the site it coming from. vosteran is a mild malware infection, it changes your search engine

10:21 am

MLFAN17

it is for me

10:21 am

MLFAN17

owl ohhhh

10:21 am

MollyL

Vosteran is a web browser that attaches to your computer via virus

10:21 am

Nef

I can't Google anything; I first thought it was my phone; but it isn't working on my computer either now

10:21 am

MLFAN17

that sucks

10:21 am

penquis

it's working for me today, too....

10:22 am

72 Temple Owl

yes. it is a pain,but does not do damage.

10:22 am

MLFAN17

owl can you run a virus check and fix it through that?

10:22 am

72 Temple Owl

i just wonder what the source is, seems i was on a different pages when the alarm sounded

10:23 am

Nef

TO, are you suggesting I should do a virus check?

10:23 am

72 Temple Owl

fan, my virus protection blocked it. it just notifies me when it does

10:23 am

car.eeyore

Good morning

10:23 am

72 Temple Owl

gee, nef, i was not, but perhaps a good idea

10:23 am

72 Temple Owl

hi car

10:25 am

MLFAN17

owl ohh..

10:25 am

MollyL

If Google is the only thing blocked on your phone and computer you should most definitely do a virus check

10:25 am

72 Temple Owl

if you get vosteran, you have to remove it manually

10:26 am

penquis

i googled how to remove it....there are directions...

10:27 am

penquis

i found some channel i didn't know i had.....in the 700s (i only have about 70 channels on my cable)....been watching Father KNows Best and the Patty Duke Show...trip down memory lane....

10:28 am

Nef

Wow; as soon as I entered my last remark; my computer crashed! So I had Avira do a check; nothing showed up, however.

10:28 am

MollyL

Avira will only check for virus. You should run a malware check too.

10:30 am

Nef

Thanks, Molly; I just did that too.

10:30 am

Nef

(And Google is working again on my computer

10:31 am

Nef

& also on my phone....

10:35 am

penquis

well i should go get something to eat....bye all....

3:10 pm

suefrad625

readling back on the chug, I use ADWCLEANER for malware cleaning and other detection and cleaning. It is made by Maleware bytes and it is free. I have also had major issues with chrome today. There must have been an update that is making my company wide software go nuts

3:16 pm

MollyL

I like "chug" instead of "chog"

3:22 pm

zoozzoom

Adwcleaner is suposed to be very good.

sammysmom

thanks zoozoom

4:08 pm

sammysmom

foul

4:08 pm

MollyL

Just make sure you don't have two virus cleaners installed on your computer at the same time. If you do, they will combat each other. Most windows programs have Windows Defender automatically installed.

4:08 pm

sammysmom

welcome

4:09 pm

sammysmom

ty molly... i will do what walter says and leave well enough alone... let him take care of things

4:10 pm

MollyL

Your Walters (both of them) are gems, SMom.

4:10 pm

sammysmom

yup

4:12 pm

zoozzoom

If you do go for an anti virus software. I highly recommend Kasperky internet security 2017 there anti virus software has one the top award for detecting the most viruses for around four years running!

4:13 pm

zoozzoom

won not one lol

4:14 pm

zoozzoom

And funny enough it is also one of the cheapest ones out there. Especially when it comes to re-newing the update subscriptions!

4:16 pm

Soodle

You still here Zooz? I wasn't too far from you on Tuesday. I met up with my daughter in Southampton. Because my knowledge of the geography of England is atrocious, I actually didn't realise how close the IOW is to Southampton! Maybe next time, we could hook up!

4:20 pm

sammysmom

stuck on he 7/32 ?

4:21 pm

zoozzoom

Hello, Soodle :-) Was it cold enough for you? lol Yes you were just across the water then! I look after my parents so hooking up would be very hard. As I go round during the day and most evenings to make their meals. But it would of been nice to meet you :-)

4:22 pm

zoozzoom

Plus I am an anti social git who suffers from panic attacks lol

You are a good guy Zoom. Being "social" isn't necessary if it causes you troubles. It is better to live life the way if makes you comfortable.

4:25 pm

Soodle

(((Zooz)) . No pressure!! It just occurred to me after the event that we were in close proximity. And yes!!! It was blooming freezing!

4:25 pm

MollyL

Or the way "it" makes you comfortable.

Ryanair flights are just ridiculously cheap. It cost me â‚¬18 return from Dublin to Southampton. It would cost me more to get the bus from here to Dublin - one way! I love Ryanair!

4:32 pm

zoozzoom

Ha it costs around Â£22 to cross the channel water to get to either Portsmouth or Southhampton as a foot passenger it is around Â£50-Â£60 if you use a car!

Longest time for snow on the ground in 38 years or something.

Yikes, M9. We are having the mildest winter in years. I have used only half the home heating fuel I would have normally used. I sure am not complaining!

4:45 pm

zoozzoom

And I am sat here with a hot water bottle with very cold feet lol

4:46 pm

m9f9l

I've been wearing my fleece lined slippers...even to the store :-)

4:48 pm

I used to wear fleece lined shoes when I was younger. I have always been lucky with never having smelly feet.

4:48 pm

Oh I just realised i should be in the PB for FE4

maybe it will be warmer there, LOL

5:19 pm

Soodle

Sleep eluding you, Rubes?

5:21 pm

5:22 pm

3 to go

5:22 pm

moolingwa

finally found that last l

5:22 pm

lil*monkey

Hmmm I don't know much about physics. It's fl4,13, do you have that

5:23 pm

lil*monkey

It means flowing or changing, like an ocean tide.

5:23 pm

m9f9l

Yes.. it's a physics term, it also means to be in a state of flow, is that what you mean by limbo?

5:23 pm

lil*monkey

yes

5:23 pm

MollyL

The other weird one that comes from that f is fu5/22 that ends like a singing group of three

5:23 pm

moolingwa

Generally used that way too

5:24 pm

m9f9l

ah, ok. I didn't quite make that correlation.

5:24 pm

moolingwa

as in things have not settled into their final position

5:26 pm

lil*monkey

Thanks Molly, yes that's a weird one

5:26 pm

I thought the physics term first, then the soldering stuff, and THEN the flow. Guess I'm just a nerd.

she was seen falling from the claws of a large bird of prey. person didn't know what had just fallen, checked it out, day old kittens! it was on the same road as the animal shelter so they got care right away, nice vet tech bottle fed her til she was old enough for REGULAR foster mom, then i got her. so she likes to suckle on my hoodie strings, i assume because she didn't have the cat momma experience

Hi there. Had a very bad day. My best friend's daughter, who is mentally ill, got arrested for groping multiple people. She hasn't been doing well, obviously. It is heartbreaking.

yeah you know, a kid who po4s is poutie...

9:37 pm

hurshy

do you think she'll be able to get treatment, origami?

9:38 pm

origami

Yes, it is very sad. Because if her voices are telling her to grope people in their privates, what else might they tell her? She needs more supervision than my 73 year old friend can (or should) provide.

9:39 pm

origami

She has been in treatment for years. But schizophrenia doesn't go away. She needs a different living situation. I have been going to their house every weekend and taking my friend out to dinner and a movie, to at least get her away from the craziness.

9:40 pm

9:40 pm

Hear, hear Gwen.

9:43 pm

origami

She really needs to be in a group home where she can be monitored. She is actually a lovely woman. But she is sick. And as much as I love the daughter, who is in her 50's, she needs more supervision than my friend should provide.

9:44 pm

mkg

schizophrenia is probably the worst nightmare a person can be born with.. that is my view. nothing is worse. absolutely nothing......no cure, and no life.

9:45 pm

mkg

the only prayer is to pray the person takes their meds and that the meds do a bit of work so the person can function better.

9:46 pm

origami

Agreed mkg. I think all we really have is our minds. And to have that taken away ... I can't even imagine. I worked in mental health and, coincidentally, my son suffered from schizoaffective disorder. It is heartbreaking. The meds can help indeed!

10:11 pm

Nef

Good Evening.I was here earlier today, have 55 left to find yet.

10:15 pm

sandyloo

17 left here

10:16 pm

Nef

hi sandy. Long time no see!

10:17 pm

sandyloo

yes hi nef, we have just got a new tower near the farm so internet and phone are much improved

10:17 pm

Nef

I bet that's exciting for you then! :-)

10:17 pm

sandyloo

how is your weather?

10:18 pm

Nef

How long have you lived on the farm (I see by your profile that you moved; but not sure when that was written

10:19 pm

sandyloo

about 4 years now and it is ridiculous how we have had internet and phone difficulty as we are only 16ks from Margaret River which has won the best tourist town in australia twice!!

10:19 pm

Nef

As odd as it could be here in Minnesota in January! It's 37 degrees (F) and sprinkling rain!

10:20 pm

Nef

Are you in a valley or is there a hill blocking any tower signals?

10:20 pm

sandyloo

Is that usual or is it usually colder. Our temps are often around 37C at this time of the year

10:22 pm

sandyloo

"We live in rolling hills , very pretty, not steep hills at all - gentle slopes - just bad technology which is being improved

10:22 pm

Nef

(Our 37 (F) is about your zero!)
January is usually the coldest month for us; this is unusually warm for us.

10:23 pm

sandyloo

We have been seeing lots of snow for usa on the television. An exciting night ahead for America!

10:23 pm

Nef

There are spots right here in our metropolitan area where the smallest hill or gully will cause you to lose any signal around.

10:25 pm

Nef

(I seem to try to use my handsfree car phone whenever I'm in a low spot.)

10:25 pm

sandyloo

In our cities we don't seem to have many problems with that. The rural areas are different with Telstra holding a monopoly as a carrier.All other mobile phone companies are run through Telstra

10:26 pm

Nef

Oh, sandy; it's a scary night for most people....
My 7 year old grandson informed me that tomorrow will be the worst day in his whole life!

10:27 pm

sandyloo

I guess it is an unknown - Maybe good or maybe bad...only time will tell.

10:29 pm

Nef

So many people I know say they are going to boycott this inauguration; I'm not sure if we should or not (maybe we should hold him to his every word; but in order to do that *someone* has to listen to him)

10:32 pm

sandyloo

I just read your profile and I must agree with the entertainment grandies supply. My first is Annabelle who is 2 and a half and the new little one in the photo (Rosie) 11weeks old now. I had to wait until I was 64 to get one. As far as tonight everyone should listen and be educated after all he will be president and you need to know what's going on - at least to try and hold him to his word. I find it all fascinating .

10:33 pm

Nef

I'm afraid I do not expect Trump to think of anyone or anything besides himself.

10:33 pm

sandyloo

I have no idea what he will do he is such an unknown in the political arena

10:34 pm

Uneaixoise

a pure narcissist

10:34 pm

Nef

Yes, Une, that's exactly the problem.

10:35 pm

Uneaixoise

terrifying

10:36 pm

Nef

sandy, I thought that the photo in your profile was a doll!

10:36 pm

sandyloo

I am amused whenever he is photographed they seem to portray him in a 'god like fashion'- Sometimes I think its almost like the 'second coming' the way he photographed

10:36 pm

sandyloo

Nef she is like a little doll

10:38 pm

sandyloo

that ig 4 word has got me- I always get stuck on a four letter word!

10:39 pm

Nef

And Une, I agree.
I went to one of our Congressional representatives' Town Hall meetings last night; they reserved a room that would hold 150 - 175 people; but over twice that many showed up! MAYBE, just maybe; this will stir people up enough that they will get involved & pay attention to what is going on in politics.

10:39 pm

Nef

sandy, poorly spelled Eskimo house

10:41 pm

sandyloo

Here we have to vote - it is the law - We get fined if we dont - it helps keep us interested in the politics

10:41 pm

sandyloo

I got that word thanks, I must have monkeyed everything else but!

10:43 pm

Nef

We have no such law; I don't know if a law would be a good idea; but so many right wing states have put in voting restrictions that it has actually kept people away from voting

10:45 pm

sandyloo

I don't really understand the way your voting works over there, it seems very convoluted , I guess there is a purpose behind the setup. Ours is not entirely clear to me either (lol)

10:48 pm

sandyloo

11 left

10:48 pm

Nef

LOL, sandy! It seems as thought the Republican party believes that there's tons of voter fraud going on; so they put in "Voter ID" laws which say they have to have certain photo ID's which can only be obtained in certain registration offices & between certain times.

10:50 pm

sandyloo

Here the voting places have a list of everyone who lives in the area- you have to register to vote- they check on you-and they mark you off when you vote so you cant vote twice

10:51 pm

Nef

(This has the purpose of decreasing the number of poor people who can get the photo IDs; many poor people may not have transportation & may also be working when that particular registration office is open.

10:53 pm

sandyloo

I understand how that would make it hard to enforce any law that says you must vote. we have a lot of polling places and free busses for people so that is no excuse here.

10:53 pm

Nef

sandy, that's the way we do it here in Minnesota also. Each state here has their own rules on this.
I've been an election judge here; & I can honestly say that MN has a good system. People can do same day registration to vote even on voting day.

10:53 pm

Uneaixoise

it's the same here in Tennessee

10:54 pm

sandyloo

I do believe it is important to vote or maybe i am just brain washed . We follow the US political news closely and find it enormously entertaining

10:55 pm

sandyloo

We have to register only once but it has to be about a month before the election.

10:55 pm

Uneaixoise

we have free transportation to polling places as well, sandy -- and lots of church vans make runs to nursing homes and retirement centers to transport elder voters who need assistance

10:56 pm

Uneaixoise

*elderly

10:56 pm

sandyloo

That sounds good

10:56 pm

Nef

Good to hear Une. It sounds like some of the southern states (oh; - AND our neighbor, Wisconsin!!!) are really paranoid about strict voting rights.

10:57 pm

Nef

Same with Minnesota.

10:57 pm

Uneaixoise

:-)

10:58 pm

sandyloo

What I find extremely hard to understand is how someone who has never been a politician can become president.

10:58 pm

Uneaixoise

the early voting option is great as well -- this year I was no. 15 in line on day one!!

10:59 pm

sandyloo

We also have early voting options and being overseas is no excuse not to vote

11:00 pm

Nef

I think that too many people weren't reading about Trump & were also fed up with the do nothing Congress of the past 8 years & blamed President Obama for the problem (instead of the Republican leaders of the House & Senate who were determined that President Obama's legacy would be that nothing was done).

11:01 pm

sandyloo

how about a clue for the he7 please

11:02 pm

Nef

he + laying out in the sun you get a **n + the 1920's were quite an *** (time)

11:03 pm

sandyloo

We get that problem here with the senate also. That is why i am a firm believer in not votiing for minor parties. I like to see the government in office with the power to complete their election promises who ever they are. Minor parties often end up with the power because of people who are disallusioned with the government in power, voting for them

11:04 pm

sandyloo

got that , thanks

11:08 pm

Nef

How do you in Australia vote for your politicians? We have elections every 2 years here; our House of Representatives are elected every 2 years; the President gets elected every 4 years; & the Senate has 6 year terms (so every 2 years 1/3 of the Senate has to be elected.

11:09 pm

Nef

yw

11:11 pm

sandyloo

our federal government which includes the house of representatives (they introduce the laws and read the bills etc.) and the senate (who then vote to pass the introduced laws or bills) are both elected every three years. If someone dies in office or gets arrested or is bankrupt (lol) they then hold a bi election..

11:12 pm

Uneaixoise

FW! back at the flip :-)

11:13 pm

Nef

YAY, Une!!! WTG!!!

11:13 pm

sandyloo

Our prime minister is the leader of the party who wins the election. If the party hates the leader (and this has happened) then the party can vote in a new leader who will become the Prime Minister - in other words we vote for the party not the prime minister

11:13 pm

sandyloo

lol I still have 8 left-

11:13 pm

Nef

sandy, are you saying that the whole government could change every 3 years?

11:15 pm

Nef

Wow; that sounds like it could be pretty mind-boggling!

11:15 pm

sandyloo

yes but we have separate governments for our states and therefore separate elections. the state governments are answerable to the federal gov

11:16 pm

sandyloo

Its pretty time consuming keeping up with it all. The leader of the state government is called the Premier.

11:19 pm

Nef

AH! SO THAT's what a Premier is! (It's a governor here).

11:19 pm

sandyloo

Our premier comes on the radio every week and answers the public's questions (talk back)

11:19 pm

Nef

That sounds like a good idea

11:20 pm

sandyloo

It is , he is very brave to do it as he cops a lot of critisism as you would expect

11:21 pm

Nef

So does every premiered that; or is it just this particular one?

11:21 pm

Nef

(I'll try again: Does ever premier do that?)

11:22 pm

sandyloo

I am not sure . We did have a premier in WA who did not do it but here in WA it is a popular spot on the radio

11:23 pm

sandyloo

I guess it is their personal choice

11:24 pm

sandyloo

what time is it for you , it is 1.25pm here

11:24 pm

Nef

That makes sense; our governor is fairly accessible; but Idon't ever remember hearing about a program like that here.

11:25 pm

Nef

It's 11:25 PM here; & I am getting sleepy

11:25 pm

grannyrose

now let's confuse nef... it's 4:25 here

11:26 pm

sandyloo

The inaugral speech is on here at 2am Hi Rose

11:26 pm

grannyrose

g'day sandy

11:26 pm

grannyrose

g'day nef

11:27 pm

Nef

Hi rose; don't pick on this sleepy head tonight! ;-)

11:27 pm

sandyloo

How is your weather today Rose?

11:28 pm

Nef

so sandy & rose; you live on opposite sides of Australia then?

11:28 pm

grannyrose

stormy to begin with, now cool with very light showers. much more comfortable.

11:28 pm

grannyrose

exactly nef...

11:29 pm

sandyloo

We do and they have daylight saving over there. We keep voting that out here as it is way to hot to extend the day. That sounds my perfect weather Rose

11:30 pm

sandyloo

I really hate the hot weather that is one reason we moved down south as it is cooler than Perth

11:32 pm

Nef

I hate the cold; but every time I think we should move to a warmer climate; all my husband has to say is "Bigger Bugs!!!"
That stops my thoughts of moving every time

11:33 pm

sandyloo

The bugs here are not big but there are poisonous spiders

11:34 pm

Nef

And, I can always put more clothes on & stay warm. A person can't really undress enough to stay cool; even naked you still stay hot.

11:34 pm

sandyloo

We killed a deadly snake here last week , it kept hanging around and with a little one running around it was not safe

11:35 pm

sandyloo

finished at last

11:37 pm

Nef

You can keep your snakes too, sandy. here in Minnesota we have garter snakes (which are harmless) but I understand that just in the past 2-3 years they have found a couple of rattlesnakes in the extreme south eastern corner of the state.

11:37 pm

sandyloo

Nef its so funny to hear you say that because it is my favourite saying that you can run around the paddock naked but you will still be hot and you can rug up to keep warm

11:37 pm

sandyloo

Nef its so funny to hear you say that because it is my favourite saying that you can run around the paddock naked but you will still be hot and you can rug up to keep warm

11:37 pm

Nef

YAY, sandyloo!!! WTG!!!

11:37 pm

sandyloo

Whoops

11:38 pm

Nef

LOL! sandy, you just want to run around the paddock naked twice as much, right? ;-)

11:39 pm

sandyloo

No way I don't want to frighten the neighbours or the stock

11:39 pm

Nef

LOL! (Me either; but we don't have livestock)

11:40 pm

sandyloo

I have to go now but really lovely chatting Nef hope you have time to finish bye for now

11:41 pm

Nef

I won't finish; I'm too tired to spell now
