I’m going to take another shot of whiskey. What shortage? America is Here!
Immigrants from Terra
...................
The dogs don’t talk but they understand plenty. They know exactly what their job is and how to do it most of the time. In this rural outpost it is almost comforting to be able to confide in the dogs but I would never tell them anything embarrassing. The last thing I need is to lose their respect. I might be the superior office but I actually have to act like one or they’ll stop obeying my orders.
My outpost was deep in the Nander Mountain Preserve, a thousand miles from anywhere. It was just me and my three underlings, the dogs. Mind you, these are not ordinary dogs. These are highly intelligent, modified dogs. They know and understand things we would never expect them to.
Me and Ranger were playing a game of chess in the habitat when I heard Scout give a long shriek over the radio. Dude was napping but he was up in a shot and the three of us raced outside. Sure enough there were streaks in the sky. Incoming.
I pulled my portable communicator out of a pocket and sent a message to my superiors, far away. I counted at least three of the streaks across the sky. One of them seemed to land fairly close and I rushed into the habitat and grabbed my plasma rifle. We would be able to at least round up one of the suspected illegals.
Scout and Ranger took the lead, they knew this geography better than I did. They had most likely already plotted the best route to reach the intruder ASAP. It was a chore for my human legs to keep up with these genetically advanced canines, I didn’t rank high enough to get one of the fancy bio-suits that gave the wearer almost super-human strength and speed.
Soon enough I huffed and puffed around the corner that Dude was standing at, and I found a scraggly man and a bent-looking woman lying on the ground, with Ranger and Scout watching over them.
“Please help us” the woman said
“I have skills, I’m well-trained. I worth keeping around” the man said
“That is up to the Immigration Bureau” I answered and walked over to where the ruins of their landing pod lay. It was a design I hadn’t seen before. Custom-made? The skin looked too thin to survive re-entry, it was even a bit crumpled a bit on the other side.
“What is this made of?” I asked, not expecting an answer.
“Normal stuff, but I changed their design on a microscopic level. I shaped it to throw off the heat”
But not a slight impact while hanging under parachutes, obviously. The heat was more important than impact. If the chutes didn’t open it wouldn’t have made much of a difference.
“You came here because you’re poor?” I asked casually.
“Not exactly” he said “Although we are. I actually came to keep Terra from discovering my children. You see, my daughter wasn’t approved for birth”
.....
no worries Geron ... Guess is best not to expect and answer as each key is entered.
Too much pain everyone ...
but each key appears as at the stroke of light. Everybody said that was a secret but some days I don’t feel like trying. Do that thing that makes me laugh. LOL
OK...I’m sorry guys, but I need to pick your brains again. Somehow, I downloaded something, by mistake, I’m sure, but I have no virus protection at the moment so security for my computer is lax.
I was able to uninstall all the programs I got in error, BUT! All of a sudden, when I access my home page, I get Goober to the tune of three pages, and I can’t find it on the Control Panel to uninstall it. I don’t know where to look to get rid of it. Any suggestions?
This is really disconcerting because I don’t have the money for any anti-spy/virus/Trojan etc., programs. If they aren’t free, I’m sunk. I don’t want to have to buy a new confuser...I’m confused enough...
It would seem, my good man, that your (GB’s) weather prognosticators are worse than ours are...
I mean, how many ways can you think of to say, “Global Warming is brain-fed idiocy?”
I sent the Ancient Duncan braces to my son today, and I’m waiting for the matching tie to arrive! I am SO excited! Now I need to work on my own tartan...
*tagline*
You are SUCH a warrior! I will live long enough to meet you in the flesh and this is a promise. You ROCK!!!
(Hug your dad for me! He’s so cool!)
The Ladies wear a Tartan shawl.
(((Huggs)))
I will check this site: http://www.scotweb.co.uk/products/tartan-shawl/
Needless to say, I’m using my maiden name for myself but my son’s father’s name for his...
It would be nice if I could actually go there to get the shawl, but I will contribute to Scotland’s economy until I can afford the trip!
I love shawls. I have made several for myself and picked up a nice Pashmina when I was in Pakistan in 2004.
Is this the Groober messenger thingie?
Do you mean that this is coming up as your homepage, or launching as a separate program? If it's coming up as homepage what happens if you go to your settings and change the homepage back to what you want?
Don't know if this is what you are talking about, but I found this:
Completely Uninstall Goober Instant Messenger 2.1.0.5 from Computer
Be advised that they want to sell you something as do most of the sites that offer advice on uninstalling this (and there were quite a few that showed in a GoogleBing), and there is a "download uninstaller" button at the top. I am inclined to think that will lead you to a pay site, or the 'uninstaller' will not work if you download it until you pay or will leave something else obnoxious on your machine. But then, I'm quasi-paranoid.
There's this article from PC Mag...
The Best Free Antivirus for 2014
Looking through that article, it seems to indicate that AVG and BitDefender are the best free AV tools and Malware Bytes the best removal tool (but it isn't a resident antivirus program.) My experience with free AV programs is that they might work but constantly nag you to 'upgrade' to the pay version. And some are resource hogs, possibly to attempt to get you to pay up...
Not knowing exactly what it is you're looking at and what version of Windoze you are running, this is the best I can do with info at hand.
Seems appropriate. Check it out.
Be aware that they will try to get you to upgrade to a paying program from their offered free version.
In order, left to right, I get, when I open my home page is:
MyWay.com; Google; Thanks for Downloading...; Google; Thanks for Downloading....
So I have to delete four “windows” until nothing shows by MyWay.com, which is my home page.
I tried to download Firefox/Mozilla and couldn’t find my “favorites” or recognize how to navigate the site to get where I needed to go. Obviously, I need some serious education as to how to navigate Firefox before I can install it seriously.
*sigh*
I get so confused so easily...
