Good mornin' all...I had to wake up the birds this morning 4 some company...

(Prologio...I posted this several days ago, *but* it was in the nervous newbie lounge [whatever it's called] & the only reply I got suggested that I put it in this spot...so, here it be]

Hello to U all. Seems mightily active out here 2day, moreso than I've seen it b4 I'm thinking.

Ah, but alas...to the point--> A problem popped up (just about literally) just as I was going 2 check out of here. The circumstances & nature of it were these:

I saw a thread 4 jokes & thought I'd get a laff b4 a well deserved morning nap (been out here trying 2 learn this & that for a good long ssssspell (well, that's long) this night/morning.

Just as I was reading my first one I got an unfortunatee & rather cryptic message on my screen. I quickly pressed the "yes" box & it went away (Oh, I'll get 2 what it said in a sec). I read the joke & went on to the next one but the "plague" --well no it wasn't that bad, followed me there.

Unfortunately it was the kind of box where you can't copy & save the bad news message, but it went something like this,
"A script is running on this page (?) and if you let it continue it will have/may have (?) the effect of slowing down your computer [sheet, I thinks to myself] do you want this script to continue to run? Yes. No. Well, guess what I answered. So with a "Nay!" from me the box disappears. "Ok" I thinks, "let's see if *this* little party keeps up. And, not to drag it out any more, it did.

Now I don't even know what a "script" is (outside of the theatrical sort.) Uhmm, sorry but totat tekky dum-dum I be, or damn near it.
So, sorry for the waaayyy 2 long story. But can anyone tell me what the H**L was going on? My 'puter is about 6 generations behind the times...it doesn't *need* to get any slower, especially online out here for I live in the "sticks" & have no access to fiber optic phone service, cable...well, nothing.

But to end this tale, can someone tell me what was going on, how to avoid it in the future, & etc. *That* would be greatly appreciated.

So I will close with the hope that there dwells out here a good Samaritan who will pick my computer up from the road where I've thrown it...uh, figuratively of course...& offer some sustenance in the form of an answer even *I* can understand. Are U there? Will U cast a line to a drowning man? (Well, hell, it reallly isn't that bad is it...for here I be, squawkin' & a' talkin', & still walkin'.)

But anyhow, I'd be in your debt as knowledge is a powerful gift.
Again, Good Morning 4 now. All of you have an Xlnt day & I hope to hear from one...or two of you soon.
Take care.
Staghart

PS Well, I "previewed" this post & damn it does go on doesn't it? Yet there it be & if I went back 2 change it, why heck, it would only grooww exponentially on me. Think I'm getting a little slap happy from lack of sleep, so I let it lie...(lay?) Whatever.
Be well. (& the same conditions exist 2-day, so once again I shall here leave it to lay cooking in the sun, or to be picked up by someone. Good day all...or good night if you've been at this & that throughout that beautiful moon's rising & falling. B-{) )

 

Don't read jokes.

 

Check the box that says something like do not display this message again and hit yes.

 

Well thank you Goran...agreed that there are indeed better ways 2 spend one's time...but a joke once in a while to lift a deflated spirit is not *always* a bad thing. Or do U consider it so. If so, well, that's rather bleak I think. Bleak indeed. Even Albert E. looks like he might have appreciated a laugh once in a while.

Nevertheless, thanx for the advice.
Sincerely,
Staghart

 

If I haven't already (My memory's 'bout as useful as a spaghetti strainer for carrying H2O) I want 2 thank U 4 your answer. Don't know if he/she (Goran/specialist) outranks U but your answer's definitely more helpful. I see your active out here so presume U've helped many. Good work & thanx again.

Sincerely, Staghart

 

Ooooo,you come back?I've expecting you reply much sooner ( half a month ago) but what a heck.
Firstly,don't get me wrong.IT'S A JOKE.:wave(you know you say all this thing,and BAM (Don't read jokes)

Good maintaince will help you.Just regulary clean your Internet temporary files with CCleaner http://www.majorgeeks.com/CCleaner_Slim_No_Yahoo_Toolbar_English_d4191.html

 

Ah...Goran, I see. It's just that "Don't read...etc...." was so terse & droll it didn't strike me then as a comical rejoinder. Also, not sure, but may have been sleep-deprived when I read your reply that *nothin'* would have seemed funny.

As to the length of time 'tween me reply & your answer, it's just that I tend to be, hmmm, sort of in & out of the clouds. Meningitis & other things tends to be like Pac Man on the brain cells so time, chronologically measured earth time that is, doesn't mean a whole lot 2 me. Tend 2 B on a Jovian or even more cosmic ticker --- or rather it doesn't tick but is more like a humm, hymnanny hummm, music of the spheres & all that.

So, I trust U will 4 give my thick headedness re your adjoinder. As an peace offering I give you two months of a journal I read not so long ago...(oh, & if you are blonde [those jokes have gon out of style these days anyway butt...] my apologies. You may change it to Irish or Okie....both of which fit *my* heritage & therefor have a right to use under the Constitution...or what's left of it after nearly 3 terms of Bushes in the U.S.)

A Blonde's Year in Review: (partial as edited by GAP)
March - Got really excited.....finished jigsaw puzzle in 6 months.....box said "2-4 years!"
December - Couldn't call 911 ..... "duh"......the company didn’t put an "eleven" button on my stupid phone!!!

& with that I will say thank U & sign off.

Sincerely, Staghart
