Oh, dear! Now I understand your concern!

Just last week I was on Chrome googling something and received the same kind of attack. I couldn't do anything -- I could move my mouse on the screen but couldn't click out of Chrome or open any other program. I had to press the power button and shut the damn computer down without properly quitting any of the programs I had open. I restarted and did a malware and virus sweep before anything else. So far so good.
Things like this make me think we should have a discussion group focused on Jersey: http://www.nj.com/weddings/index.ssf/...

Probably registered at Woolworth's.

Maybe I should open a restaurant. Sounds like I already have my waitstaff.
Mod
I enjoy reading the engagements in our local paper. The groom-to-be is always sure to wear his best camouflage hat for the photo.
Melki wrote: "Maybe I should open a restaurant. Sounds like I already have my waitstaff."Yes, you should! Job security is a good thing.
Mod
Yes, you should! Job security is a good thing."
If only I could cook . . .
I can cook, but I was hoping they could all live someplace that was not my home.

Well, bless your heart, Lisa, you must be more tech-savvy than I am. Just turn it off and restart! Hmmm. The pro also said turning off 'guest-user' in your user groups preferences is also a good idea.
Apparently there are 20 ways that we make bad decisions. Yet none of these explains why we don’t turn down dessert more often: http://www.dailyinfographic.com/20-co...
Only 20? I blow past that cut-off on a daily basis.
Mod
I kind of went into shock at the words turn down dessert THE HORROR! THE HORROR! and stopped reading.
Yes, well, I think that means we should never turn down dessert.
Mod
Mod
Yes. Chocolate and coffee. All others are optional, because without those two, life isn't worth living. Especially not for anyone within reach of me.
You know how sometimes people add to a story "you can't make this shit up!"? Well, I never would have thought to make up vagina emojis: http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/561d3a....

Mod
Yikes - that was harrowing! Glad things turned out okay for Star and I hope the dog was sent to bed without any Milk Bones.
Am I the only person here who doesn't like chocolate? (Don't pitchfork me -- think of all the extra chocolate you'll get by keeping me around!)
Mod
(Don't pitchfork me -- think of all the extra chocolate you'll get by keeping me around!)"
It's okay, but I can go months without eating it. And I prefer sugar cookies to chocolate chip.
Yes. Always. I also NEARLY-always prefer salty snacks to anything sweet.
We can find plenty of common ground, though, in the "wine, bread, and cheese" realms.

You're one of the minority who don't like chocolate. But, as you noted, that makes you one of our favorites, because if there's only one piece of chocolate left in the world, we won't have to fight you for it :-)

Oh yes! But I'd be afraid of accidentally insulting the duck.
Brenda: we can keep our cage-matches to cheese-and-carb-based-bouts only.
Jilly wrote: "Am I the only person here who doesn't like chocolate? (Don't pitchfork me -- think of all the extra chocolate you'll get by keeping me around!)"
I can eat any, but I prefer dark chocolate.
Amilcar wrote: "CartoonistAndre wrote: "Amilcar wrote: "Just another case of a sharp dressed troublemaker bird: http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2015/......"It would be worth recording the interesting conversations resulting from a full night's tipping.

I volunteer to watch the wine and cheese while you two are in the cage.
I suggest the cage be made of cheese, which we attack with cheese knives.
Mod
As long as I can drink wine (or better yet, bourbon) while they have at it.
Mod
Mod
as our next group read.

Haaaang on, here. How did I go from stuffing my face with wine and cheese to being beaten up in a cage while you eat my snacks?? I'm going to have to follow these conversation threads a lot more closely!
Jilly wrote: "As long as I can drink wine (or better yet, bourbon) while they have at it."You're in luck. I have bourbon here :-)
Mod
Hey! You guys set up the cage match. I was just selling high-priced tickets to a bunch of Japanese tourists with cameras. Eating your snacks was just a perk. ::) [Four eyes. I have my glasses on.]
Brenda wrote: "I feel so used...."I feel so left out! Cage match? Cheese? Bourbon sniffing? Where have I been?
My mom was telling me about that the other day! (She still has very fond memories of me and my baby-bestie, Perek, in one of the originals.) Not gonna lie; till he works out a "has windows" situation...I can hold off.
Do you think they would let me drive a working Big-Wheel on the road?
Mod
True dat! I'm not overly fond of picking bugs out of my teeth.
