Go away Wilma

Hurricane Wilma became the fiercest Atlantic hurricane ever recorded as it churned towards western Cuba and Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula on Wednesday, threatening densely populated Florida after killing 10 people in Haiti.

The season's record-tying 21st storm, fuelled by the warm waters of the northwest Caribbean Sea, strengthened with unprecedented speed into a Category 5 hurricane, the top rank on the five-step scale of hurricane intensity. It is expected to slice across the lower portion of Florida this week-end.

Does anyone else find this amazing? Enough already with the hurricanes. There have been so many hit land this year. So many people have lost their lives, loved ones, and homes. We get it Mother Nature; you're one tough cookie. Now, could you back off?

Working on it

I am trying to get to all these tags I got. Please be patient. A lot of them are really long and it takes a minute or two to get them done. I think all you people need to get Blogs so I can post this stuff on your page too! No fair that you just send 'em to me but never answer them yourself. Sheesh. :)

The Bronze Year

Today is the wedding anniversary of my dear sister and favorite brother-in-law. It is the bronzel year for them as they are following the traditional gift ideas for their anniversarys. I think that is the neatest thing. I always enjoy their searches for just the right gift. Both of them do it and I think neither of them knows it. They both did fine jobs this year. I won't post what they are each
receiving from the other because that's for them to tell. (If they want to) Anywho....

Happy 8th Anniversary!
XOXO

Help Me Please

I need some fantastic virus protection and I have no idea where to start. I get pop-ups so much that it is irritating to be on the internet sometimes. I get viruses a lot that screw up the computer. I need help to pick a good one. I don't care if it's free or not although that would be sweet. What I have now in this regard...

Ad-Aware SE Personal
Microsoft Antispyware
Spyware Blaster
Aluria Security Center
CW Shredder
SurfinGuard Pro
McAfee Virus Scan - just cancelled

I don't understand why...

a. I have all these things listed above but often can't even type a response to an e-mail without getting 4 or 5 pop-ups.
b. viruses are loaded in the computer anyway
c. I have to repeatedly remove these things from the anti-spyware programs (it finds them and I remove them, or quarantine them)
d. it gets so bad after a few days that the computer must be cleaned, rebooted, etc.

Any help anyone can give is appreciated. Please keep in mind if you answer my plea that I know a lot of things about this computer but I am no whiz at it. :)

**While typing this Blog, I got 11 pop-ups!**

Ranting

Today at work, a dilemma occured. My choices were grim. A snail - big one - got caught in one of the outflow pipe of a sump. For those of you unfamiliar with a sump, let me explain. When something get stuck in an outflow pipe, the water is still going somewhere, just not where you want it to go. Usually, the floor. Yes, the floor. These tanks are huge. Hundreds of gallons each. So, I have water going on the floor everywhere. I find myself sitting on a bucket in the middle of three inches of water so I can reach under the tank without becoming electricuted by the power cords that are now "hanging out" in the water. I have a wrench and a screwdriver so I can take the pipe apart to remove the snail. No good. Water still pouring on the floor at an alarming rate. I can't get the fool snail out of the pipe. So now I am hacking away at the shell like a lunatic with the intentions of breaking the shell so it will flow free. In walks someone who has got to be the dumbest person I have ever met. He says, "Can I get 10 gallons of water?" Just like I'm sitting around doing nothing. While my first response was, "Are you F***ing kidding me?", I said, "If you can wait until I'm finished with this." He looks a bit put out with this info. I cannot believe someone honestly thinks a person - me - would let massive quantities of water flow onto the floor so he could get $3 worth of water. What a wanker. I finally got the snail out - rest in peace little fella. I spent the better part of an hour getting the water off the floor. What a day!

My New Outfit

While shopping for clothes on the internet, I ran across these little gems. I felt everyone needed to see these articles of clothing. I was stunned that someone would actually pay for them. The shoes are $55 and the hat is $74 if anyone is interested. ha ha Now to find a dress to go with them.

New Aquarium Fish

This is a pic of the lastest fish I have. He is about 8 inches long. Looks a lot like an eel, but is a Goby.
