Conflicker Worm...

Go check out this website concerning the April 1st malware release...It's been all over the news today! Make Sure you've updated your Virus program updates! Patricia wrote this as well:

On your computer:

Go to ....START....CONTROL PANEL...SECURITY.

Are your UPDATES turned OFF??? That's where it usually begins! Turn it ON!! Run those updates! And PLEASE do NOT buy those programs that say...REMOVEConFLICKER>COM//

...LOLOL....That's what I Probably Would have done several years ago...Stay with a reliable source ....just read the website above.

Stay alert! This just better not be an April Fool stunt...

By the way, MAC and I Think they're called Linnex(??) users will NOT be affected...Safe night everyone!!

I GOT HIM!!!!

The morning started out with a delicious breakfast....

I can't believe I captured this bird in "take-off" mode!!Hahaaa...

See Mr. Possum going around the back of the garden??

See...See????? I'm So excited at this point!!LOL...

Cheeky little cuss!! Not a care in the world!!

He just simply starts climbing the back fence, nice and slow!

Up he goes!

Can you see him staring at me?

OhYes!! (happy dance) As I had told ya'll in a previous post, something had been getting into the garden and "rooting" around! WELL!! Guess who came slinking into the yard this morning??? YES! Mr. POSSUM!! I thought they were nocturnal?!!! It was 8:45am! Sun shinning and here he comes out of the back bushes without a care in the world!Hahaa...WELL! I says to myself...and then I remembered the Sage advice a very good friend once gave me..."Never go Anywhere without your Camera!"....LOLOL....Right!! Miz Brenda, you'd be SO ashamed of me this morning! There I was, having a coffee on the patio...observing the world, in general, grateful for life and sunshine, when I see Mr. Possum meandering towards the garden! Adrenaline starts kicking in...and "go Nowhere without your Camera" pops into my head, I swear!!Hahaaa...SO! quickly but quietly I edge towards the door, gently pull it open and haul ass (sorry, but I DID), hollering to everyone to "Be Quiet and DON'T go Outside!!" So Naturally, everyone bales out the back door to get a look!Hahahaa...Grabbing my trusty Canon...Out I go...on the hunt...tiptoeing...my prey is taking it slow and I have Just enough time to gather my evidence! Bingo! I got him! And would you believe it? I Really think I could have picked him up and he wouldn't have been frightened! I didn't though...Rabies Always lurks in the back of one's mind. Now here I sit posting my Sunday morning adventure...Trying to figure out just How in the world I can attach that damn camera to my body...at All times...Hahaaa...WHAT??!!!

Happy day to you all!!

At Least I Got Pictures....Hahaaa

My first blooms of the season! AND THEN....the cold front hit again! LOL...I really pray that the cold doesn't hurt them. It was 33degrees last night and it will be 36 tonight. Here's hoping...

I Love a pretty pink rose and hopefully the bush will put out lots of them. The one above the pink is a Julia Child. I like the orange and yellow mix on it.

Not doing much else today. Crystal brought the kiddos over this morning. They'll be staying until tomorrow night. She and the Timster went to San Antonio for the weekend. Tonight, I imagine we'll be watching the latest Bond...James Bond movie and pigging out on SUGAR!!! LOL...So, until next time, Have a wonderful night or day!!

Ok, Ok!!

I've decided to create a new blog...for Venting...Hahaa...I feel I should Not make you listen to my rantings about the current political happenings, by force! The new site is American Pie. Now you can rest easy again...

It's the WEEKEND!!! I'll have Sami and William tomorrow and Sunday so I guess I'll get this old horse moving. You all have a Wonderful night or day and enjoy the time off!!

A Good Read....Geez!!

I'm sitting, watching the news....why? I guess I'm one of those idiots I'm constantly screaming about!LOL.....If I hear One More Time, President Obama say, "We'll see if they mean business this time before we commit the proposed 22 billion of TAX PAYER money...." Referring to GM and All the other companies with their hands out, I think I'll put my foot through the TV!! SO! Instead of ruining a perfectly good piece of electronics...I shut it OFF...I picked up a wonderful new book, in the series of Hamish MacBeth, and immersed myself in the rolling green countryside of Lochdubh. I love this series from M.C. Beaton.

Enjoy you evening or morning everyone! I don't want to think...I just want to read.

My little garden just won't hold that size plant! You can cook with it. You can add it to salsas...steepe the leaves and add it to pound cakes...Geez! I can't just pull it up and throw it away! So, the hunt for a better spot will commence...It's suppose to rain today to...Oh Well. Hope you all are having a Wonderful Tuesday!!

We were in and out of Sam's Club in about 20 minutes...home to drop off the groceries and then off to Lowes for the garden shopping. A few ($$$) dollars later, I had fresh dirt, flowers, tomatoes, and herbs to play in the garden and yard with. I finished at high noon and it was already starting to get warm... I have a feeling it's going to be a hot Summer.
