[Rockerforlife]

If i get SVR ...i really dont care what happens after ...ill be happy to be homeless then...materials mean nothing to me now...all  need is food and shelter...if i have to i will live in a cave

[annieCinMD]

Did you see that cave that was on sale on Ebay? You'd like to live in that thing. They built a house in it, a really nice one. Doesn't need heat or AC, naturally comfortable temperature.

[Rockerforlife]

I did see that show..it wasnt cheap tho...maybe ill go back home and live in a trailer park...ill try to steer clear of all the meth labs...i know im suppose to thinkl positive...but somehow all i see is a tunnel and no light in sight...im still having a hard time believing how they just fired me from my job...i just cant get over it...in one sense im happy to be gone...there was alot of bull going on there and back stabbing bosses

[FlGuy]

Maybe you can turn your recent history into a Country and Western hit and make a few bucks that way.  You already have the title 'Just Waitin' For the Lightning to Hit'

[Rockerforlife]

hey...great name for a song...dont think that title has been used yet

[Isobella]

I don't know what to think about my computer.  Ya know how you can have different user names?  Well, under my name, the computer doesn't respond to anything.  I can't even open files on my desktop.

On the other user...I can get online, only it's running slow.  Last night it wouldn't let me send emails and kept freezing up.  Today it's fine.

All my bookmarks and studies and school work is saved on my user name-so I can't access them.

I want to just go get a Mac, but my husband has been so good thru tx, that I feel bad asking/telling him.  So, here I sit....all frustrated.  Any suggestions???

I'm really sorry you are having to deal with all the bollshoot about your job.  It's not like tx is hard enough without all that oter stuff thrown on top.  

They always say when one door closes, another opens.  Rock, I truly believe that when this is all over, you are gonna come out ahead.  It's always darkest before the dawn. One day at a time is all we can do. (that's all the cliches I have for now, lol!)

Rocker asks: "...whats next??..."

Could be hemorrhoids, Dude. And just in time for summer... ;-)
.... hope you don't have vinyl car seats...

Sorry you're feeling blue Rocker. Why don't ya try working on the lyrics for your song: "Lighnin' hit my H-roids and set my furt  gas on fire...."  

[Isobella]

....lightening hit my alarm system and I had to getta new 'un.  Now it ain't workin cuz I need new contacts in tha livinroom.  Gotta clean the winders real good 'fore the guy comes back out, and I don't wanna cuz I feel like Krap.....hope my cleanin lady don't use my clippers......la la la.......

Yeah, that's not really very catchy....best to stick with the 'roids....no pun intended

[newleaf09]

No, no Rocker.  You don't have cirrhosis do you?  You got into a very important trial and responded quickly.  You have few side effects.  Get your health back, then the rest will follow.  Not to worry; things fall in place.

[Rockerforlife]

you said:

Ya know how you can have different user names?  Well, under my name, the computer doesn't respond to anything.  I can't even open files on my desktop.

did you try to log on with the administrator name?...thats the "main user" in order to make important chages you need to log on as an administrator

you make have lots of spyware running too...this will slow you down


i am using this to clean my system...try it..its simple to use and bug free

"Yeah, that's not really very catchy...."

You sell yo'self short Izzy. Why that's as catchy as crabs at a massage parlor

[Isobella]

Rocker:  I am the administrator, so I was thinking that when I log on under my name that's where I am???  I would love to add, download or do something, but it just sits there with the hourglass sign and does nothing.  I really think it's shot =(

I really want to just go get a Mac, they don't get all the viruses and stuff.  


Goofy:  E-gad man!  Don't encourage me....I'm on a roll this week  Let's see.....

Tears runnin down my spray on tan, leavin' streaks like the peg drips on my tummy...la la la...

[Rockerforlife]

Sounds like you have spyware running in the background...of maybe a trogan virus...run this too and see what spyware you have hidden on your system..if you have anything...this will zap it

[Rockerforlife]

Its always wise to run a few spyware scanners...some catch stuff others miss....and only have one virus protection program and one good firewall.....whats you protection??

[Rockerforlife]

do you have enuff SRAM?..memory...another thing that can slow your system is having a bunch of programs running in the bottom task bar...all you should see on the bottom is your clock...firewall and virus icons..the rest you can disable and your system will run faster

[Isobella]

I use Webroot spyware and Trend Micro PC. I think my problem stems from the Webroot program...just odd that it is now totally frozen under my user name and not this one.  

And both keep showing error messages.....I just want to kick this thing to the curb.  I'm gonna try that program you suggested now......wish me luck......

[Rockerforlife]

Its safe...dont worry...ive been into puter 10 years now....you will find a lot of bugs on you system if you run those scanners...you will be in shock....most people have spyware and dpnt know it

[Rockerforlife]

uninstall webroot...you have the spysweeper???

its a resoursce hog
