Castlebee....how very nice!!! Wish I had a vague inkling of how this is done...but...at least I get to enjoy it.

I really loved both pics of both Daves!!

Thanks and Merry Christmas

Patti

Dear Arashi:

Haven't seen you on here much; hope you're at least lurking and will see that we hope you have a wonderful birthday.

Have a great
Christmas Birthday

Love,

Patti

Mark...I'm glad you brought this up.

One thing I hate about all the technology of today is I think it takes away from any and all creativity.

With paste/copy, that photo would be nothing.

But....we're old enough to remember when faking something like that would've been way cool!

(This whole facet really bothers me with movies; it's like, no acting, no editing....just point & click. I know you wanted my 2 cents.)

Patti

Earlier today (Wednesday), when I went in, the topics had Christmas balls next to them; red for new, green for no new.

Now at home...it's back to the diamonds.

WHO'S GOT THE BIG BALLS?

Patti

EXCEPTION!!!

When Mike R. Phone is in display....drink a 'claret cup'.

BE GOOD!!

Patti

Hope it's okay if I copy/paste a reply from Panicware to me on here; it's in keeping w/this thread.

(pss...some of these mentioned programs sound vaguely familiar, unlike WinXP; I don't necessarily know how to reallllllllly delete them).

Patti

BIG PS....MIDNITE....DOM....JOSETTE AND OTHER CA COUSINS....ARE Y'ALL OKAY???

below starts Panicware reps reply to my below question:

Please take a minute to review the following information, which might help you determine why you are still seeing some ads while running a Panicware Pop-Up Stopper product, or why you are having problems with other adware or spyware issues including script errors, freezes, lockups, crashes and other browser or computer problems..

Some advertising supported programs and files, such as OddeseyMarketing, SaveNow, HotBar, Download Accelerator, Gator, Gozillia, AudioGalaxy, Morpheus, eDonkey, GAIN, Weather Bug, Kazaa, Bonzi Buddy, iMesh, etc. use pop-up advertising as part of the service they provide. If you have installed one of these products, or one similar to them, you may have agreed to view pop-up ads without knowing it.

You may not be aware you installed the product, as more and more programs are bundling spyware with their software and not disclosing this information to you when you download.

It is advised that you do both a VIRUS scan and a SPYWARE scan.

The spyware scanner is a free download from:
http://www.panicware.com/downloads/PanicwareSpywareRemover.exe

Help file:
http://spybot.eon.net.au/index.php?lang=en&page=knowledgebase/getstarted

The spyware issue is the typical reason the Pop-Up Stopper may not be working properly on your system and is the reason you may experience lockups, crashes and other browser or computer problems.

In addition, if you have problems with pop-ups or web sites such as Xupiter 'hijacking' your browser or changing your home page, click here to scan for problem programs:

You can remove the ClickSpring/PurtiyScan spyware here:
http://www.purityscan.com/uninstall.html

There is also a new form of pop-up spam which looks like a Windows Messenger Window. These can be disabled by using the following link:

http://www.itc.virginia.edu/desktop/docs/messagepopup/

If you are still getting pop-up ads, especially Ads for other ad blockers, this means that programs such as NoPop and JimmySurf have found a way to install their spyware and ad-servers on your system.

I'm currently enjoying your free version of panicware (unfortunately, as I came to your site, TWO pop-ups happened!!) BTW, why do a few random pop-ups happen?

Anyway, I wondered if you sell/support a firewall type product.

I had a terrible experience with Norton:(

Thanks & Happy Holidays,
