XP scam

Hi everyone
As some of you know, I have been expecting a new granddaughter---well, she was born on Sunday 8/10/08, Audrey Dianne. She was 7 lb 2 oz and 19 3/4 inches. A little tuff of reddish hair and she is adorable. Doesn't like to sleep without being held, but I am sure that is just a temporary thing.


ALERT!! There is a scam out there called XP Antivirus 2008. Don't buy it. It takes alot of your memory and then gives false reports. If you did download it go to http://www.windowsvistaplace.com/xp-antivirus-2008-removal-instructions-xp-antivirus-2008/spyware-removal to remove it. Do not fall for this one because it has XP on it. It looks real.

There is also a virus that is hitting Facebook for those of you who use it. It is done by what is called 'social engineering' and there is not much that can be done by it. Here's what happens: a hacker either creates a Facebook account or somehow steals someone else's account. They then post messages on a very popular part of Facebook, called "the wall." The message looks like it's from a friend and it has a link to a funny video. If you click on the link, you're taken to a malicious Web site that infects your computer. Remember to watch out for links to videos. Those can be the most vicious of all.

Until next time...

Hugs

Another day

Last night I used the web site of http://lyricsfly.com and sang along with my favorite songs. It was great!!! My headset on and the music coming thru and I am singing like crazy. Now for those of you who know me, know I can't sing worth a darn. But, hey, this was fantastic!!! Not to mention-good for my ego. :) Good thing my parents couldn't hear me as I am sure they would have pulled the plug. Give it a try and see if you can enjoy it as much as I have.

I am currently reading the book "Creating Web Pages for Dummies" and boy, do I feel dumb. Granted, I have learned alot doing the show and listening to Wayne and others, but this is a whole new thing. So will see what happens and how far I can get into it. I will be sure to keep you posted and IF (a big IF) I can get one up and running, you can let me know what you think about it.

The sun is shining today and when the grass dries, I think I will start on the lawn mowing again.

Hope the sun is shining where you are at. HUGS

Gary sent to the Moon????

Hi everyone
Well, not exactly. Gary was sent into outer space again. On the Falcon 1 flight 3 military shuttle, Gary's ashes were to circle the planet til whenever. Something went wrong and they had to blow up the spaceship about 50 miles from the earth. The last time they sent Gary up, they lost him for a few weeks. I don't think he is to be in outer space. Although he always said that we have to get off of this planet.

I have also been informed that we now have all the episodes of 'Flash Fishborn' from the Aircheck Factory. I will be getting with Bill Harris to see how we can distribute them to anyone who would like to have them. Bill is still working on a web site in which all of Gary's talent can be heard.

We are still non-profit corporation for those of you who knew us when Gary was around. It is costing more and more to operate and if any of you would like to send donations in, please let us know. We can use the help and we don't ask for them very often.

I was really sorry not to be able to talk with you all on Friday, but Wayne was having his problems and I can't do the streaming from here. Am checking into some of that to see what I can do when Wayne isn't available. Also, you will be happy to know, that the episode of FNT that was replayed will NOT be replayed again. I have forbid it and let Wayne know that was not one of our best.

It is a rainy day here so I can't mow the lawn. Had to bring in my clothes from the line before they were completely dry. But no harm done there.

Hope all is sunny and clear with you. HUGS
