Ravencajun, Thankyou!

I've never had to ask you a computer question, but have taken your advice on many computer related topics. You may not realize it, but we all really appreciate your expertise and your generosity.

Thank you so much!

grandms & ravencajun, First of all thank you both for answering my request for help so promptly, greatly appreciated. Malware protection : I use Malwarebytes anti malware. Cleaner : Ashampoo Win Optimizer Browsers : Avant and Safari. Used to have only microsoft browser, didn't like it at all. The computer has recently just started this freeze up , happens about 5 or 6 times after I first turn it on of a morning. I recently carried our a defrag and cache clean. Have no uploaded Sp3 because i'm on satellite with restricted data useage and whats more would take all night to download it. Are those updates so necessary, I have had no trouble virus wise in 7 years. This is the first hint of trouble. Over to you both, thankyou both once again

Ymail.com, AT&T and third party billing

Hi albert, Thank-you for the compliment. I have learned from experience. Here are 2 more things to think about; My son decided that he was going to sign up on-line for free groceries. He used my phone #. Well, after clicking whatever looked interesting to him in the ads that led him to the initial regeristering for the free groceries, they had sent payment requests as 3rd party billings to Verizon. I learned fast about 3rd party blocks. And, several years ago, maybe 15, I had recieved my phone bill. It had a charge on there for the amount of over $800. I called the phone company, and they told me that I was responsible, because someone had used the phone from my house to call some Entertainment Hotline! The call was placed at 04:30!!? No one at this time would have been awake at my house. All the teenagers were elsewhere at the time,also. I had them redirect the bill back to where it came from, to get it off my bill, which they did. I never did recieve the bill from whoever it was returned to. But, a few months later, I found out from the TV Program 20/20 that people were capable of obtaining your home phone through a dial-up system on their computer that would dial your number at random, connect when you answered, and copy the number to be used at a later time for their personal enjoyment. Isn't technology wonderful? Have a great day! bbbluz

Are any of you senior citizens on facebook
Q

Facebook isn't just about "friending" people you know face-to-face. It's about networking with people who have the same interests you have. If it wasn't for Facebook, I wouldn't talk to my cousins, who ALL live in The Netherlands. None of us like letter writing. Their emails get lost in all the spam I get. I have a lot of co-workers on FB and we have silly conversations on FB that we can't have at work. We don't all work the same shifts, so it's nice to talk on FB when it's convenient for us. I have friends who live in the US. We are a group of women (I mentioned our private group here a few days ago), and a few of us have met face-to-face. We used to use YahooGroups, but Facebook is so much easier to use. I belong to several colouring groups, photography groups, Calgary groups, etc., to get information directly from others. I learn more through FB about my hobbies than I do through Google, although quite often when I ask a question, I'll get sent to google... lol Facebook is addictive. It's fun. It's my way to keep up with my family because we are all so busy with our families, jobs and life in general. Do I really care what someone ate for breakfast? Nope. And they're probably not interested in what I ate either. But we post pictures and sometimes someone will say, "hey! You have a recipe for that? It looks delicious!". There is so much more than posting the food you eat or how the weather is.

Snakes!
Q
Comments (37)
Great story Jem! My dad was a rice farmer for many years and he really encountered a lot of snakes out in the fields especially during the times when they had to flood the rice fields. He also had the pump station that would pump the water from the bayou near by into his fields. The screen down in the water inlet would get stopped up and he would have to dive down in the muddy water and reach down in there and pull out what ever was blocking the inlet screen. He never knew what he would be grabbing! Could be a water moccasin or cotton mouth, a snapping turtle, a big fish or just a wad of water lilies. Thank goodness he never once was bitten doing that. He had several venomous snakes bite and stick into his big heavy boots. Walking around in the fields in water was a dangerous job. He would come home often with something in his shirt pocket for me. A little turtle quite often. I had an aquarium with a collection of the little turtles he would bring to me. I would keep them for a while and then return them to the fields when they were a little bigger. The life of a farmer is a very difficult life in so many way!

I read CompHelp first thing each day when I get on the computer. Helps me to know what to look out for and also I sometimes remember when I have a problem, that it has been discussed there, so I go back to check.

Yes, Raven, double thanks for all your help.

Oh, Raven, everyone is ganging up on you to say how much they appreciate your help. I love the Computer Help forum and like Sue-va look at it first for the same reasons.

Raven I adore you. Not everyone knows how you will hang on till late at night because you know folks like me are hard at work following your instructions. Your patience and love of people shows thru and I know your directions are going to be easy to follow. You have a large following and a good group of people over there. Recently you told someone who was struggling and didn't have a lot of confidence how you decided you were going to get into the IT world. I wish you would tell it again.

I figured you are such a happy person because you are good at this work, you have good friends and most of all "Hubs." Dear Hubs.

Thank you. You are a great selfless role model.

Awww Y'all have me all sniffling over here!

I am very used to being called HE lol I get that a lot! Most of the Ravens I know are female but there are a few males, the wrestler Raven is one. For a while there was someone that thought I was a wrestler fan, I had no idea why till I found out about that Raven.

There are a lot of great volunteers on the help forums that give of their time and experience to try to help others that need help. I am very proud to be a member of that community.
Unfortunately some forums and some helpers tend to be less understanding and short with people. That is one thing I find very hard to tolerate and will risk getting raked over the coals to remind them that manners do matter! It takes a lot for some people to just work up the courage to come ask for help, they say they are stupid or ignorant etc, that is not true just because you don't know one particular thing does not mean you are stupid or ignorant! It is all a learning experience and I learn something every day!
When I refer anyone to another forum for help I am extremely selective where I send them and only send them where I know they will be handled with respect and kindness.
I am on a LOT of help forums I have various names on them LOL but believe me they are not all the same.
We have a great group over at Computer Help and as some of you already know over at LzD my other home LOL.
I am more than happy to try to answer any question you throw at me but understand that I sure as heck do not know everything! I will however try to help you find the answer.

Thanks are a wonderful thing to hear and I so appreciate this but you don't have to feel obligated to do this, I know this is done from the heart and I feel it!

So THANK YOU!

Please add me too, especially help that I received on downloading books to my ipod..........now 1500 plus books later I am an absolute slave to that little device, and get so much enjoyment out of reading again, and it rarely leaves my side. It is so easy to pick up and keep reading after putting it down to do other mundane things like housework. As for my android phone....I hate talking on the phone.....take the phone and toss it, except I need it for downloading books when I am not at home. You are my hero Raven!!!

I am thanking you too, Raven. You answered a question/solved a problem for me a long time ago. I ALWAYS read your posts, or when someone has posted to you, because I always learn something. And I always check out your links. Thank you for being so generous in sharing your knowledge.
