    Happy Easter!

     

    Not sure if I can upload an image right now?

    I'm sure you can, if you know where your glasses are.

    Imagine, if you will, having a pet lion that tries to get your attention by just headbutting the crap out of you.

    On a smaller scale, I don't need to. Maine Coon cats have a lot of the same behaviour patterns, and our one sits on and head butts us. At his size it can be wearisome.

    ...we had a Maine Coon when I was young and yes, I can attest to that

    I wish there was a way to get rid of the ads on the forums.  Maybe make it a DAZ+ perk?

    Use an adblocker. Making it a DAZ+ perk has already been suggested but so far to no avail.

    Well, you could have anti-luck!  (otherwise known as bad luck)

    Complaint: Now I get a nearly full page sized ad when opening this forum!  It pops up in the center of the screen!  Pretty soon they'll be pushing video ads on us!   angry  Are they trying to get rid of us all?

    ...crikey, that happened in Eugene OR.

     

    /sportball

    North Carolina State which put my #2 Marquette Golden Eagles run for the NCAA championship (in that other March Madness) to an end, just did the same to #4 Duke.

    The last time they made it to the final four (and went on to win it all) was in 1983 under the late and now legendary coach, Jim Valvano who died of cancer ten years later.

    As a Duke fan I was disappointed that they lost; but was glad to see NC State continue their almost unbeliveable run. They have really come alive in the last month and at least the ACC still has one team in the final 4. Go Wolfpack!

    That looks like the Chrome browser with the left, right, and top cropped.

    This isn't the only site that has those annoying pop up ads.

    actually there was a video ad here but it only happened once and hopefully only once.

    I think you mean McGuyver.  I miss his madness, too. 

  • KinichKinich Posts: 878

    I'm running Firefox with the security set to 'Strict' and I don't see any ads, in fact I had to switch to Edge to even see what everybody was talking about when the first reports started appearing in the forums. Apparently the Strict security setting may cause issues on some sites but I've not encountered any noticeable issues.

    I don't feel well.  I doubt I'm diabetic but I feel like my blood sugar is low

    Apparently Google turned on a new feature automatically - it has now been turned off by Daz.

    I think you mean McGuyver.  I miss his madness, too. 

    You're right.blush  See, he's been gone so long that my dementia has kicked in.  But that other guy (George McGovern) still floats around in my head, I mourned him when he departed the scene too, after he'd lost the election (a half century ago).frown

     

    Words, words, I forget and confuse words, especially names.  I know what I'm saying, I just booger the words.sad   So far the only advantage, I've found, to senility, is the ability to watch two-year old movies again as if they were fresh.indecision  That, and the convenience of excusing my not doing things for other people that I'd promised to do.devil

    And now I even boogered up the SNIPing too.  (*sigh*)  I give up.  Just pretend y'all knew what I meant, and forgive this old brain.

    Just did it to me again just now!  Maybe it was the last time?
