LOL, here is cartoon of two smart phones discussing some undesirable, middle of the night, and unidentified, phone calls. Cellphone reverse lookups can be an effective way to deal with unwanted callers.

FraudTool Virus Salvation
Our family computer gets hit by nasty viruses periodically, mostly because our Autistic Son gets on some questionable site and probably clicks on through all of that Wonderful Microsoft Security (dripping sarcasm here).
This one was of the real nasty type that screws up everything and claims to be the fix for the damage it has done. We have been using Ad Adware Free Internet Security, which did manage to fix the main bad boy file (frj.exe in this case). Unfortunately, the damage done to the registry persisted. This meant that NO programs could be run, either claiming need an association or flat out not finding the file (which was clearly still on the hard drive).
Fortunately, at this point, I can report that we seem to have it all fixed and functional again. Which is particularly important because trying to run the eMachines Recovery Management program had likewise failed. Typically, such a virus would be responded to by just blasting a fresh install image back onto the machine.
Finding the Real Fix took a bit of surfing from page to page, but the final destination paid off. Oh, did I mention we are talking Windows 7 here? So, the Windows 98 and XP versions were out. And, the Windows Vista version did not work.
However, this one DID work and I am so happy with them that I am going to give them a nice backlink right here! FraudTool Windows 7 Registry Fix

My Wife Hates Underwire Bras And Says Wireless Bras Are Way To Go
Right from sports towards sexy and for your everyday breast support, wireless bras can be quite a powerful option to all those potentially painful, and undoubtedly not comfortable underwire bras.
Good News for the Girls! Wireless bras do not have any underwire and so are without doubt your desired choice if you don't like underwires. My wife actually removes those wires immediately upon getting a new bra.
Donning any bra will give you back support, and if you’re something more than a thirty-four B, it's best to in fact utilize a bra intended for back support and you will probably enjoy a wireless bra.

Time to Harvest Nettles for Pot Liquor
Last year I experimented with harvesting nettles as a wildcrafting food souce. It was tremendously successful! I love the stuff.
But, really, it has a season of April through June. Theoretically, you can gather them all through the growing season, but, in my experience the tender top six inches are best and free of bugs, gunk, and such, before summer sets in.
Which means I better get my butt out there and harvest some! Nettles are about the best wildcraft herb easily and ubiquitously available. It has all the good things about spinach multiplied by, like, a thousand times!
What I do is take a big pot, gloves, and scissors (or clippers) and cut the top 6 inches from the best looking plants. The more clean and healthy, the less prep work before cooking.
Then, I wash (pick out any ugly stuff) and fill pot with some water. Put on the stove and boil the crap out of it. People mostly are adverse to using nettles because of the little needles that inject the minor toxin that make them "stinging". But, really, the cooking does get rid of that.
Anyhow, there are three products of my effort:
1) The vegetative mass can be used similarly to spinach. By itself, or in recipes,
2) Any excess that is more than I will eat in a day or two gets dehydrated for use later in the year,
3) The liquid left over is what is called "Pot Liquor". It is considered a tonic. And, I love it! I put a bit of salt into it and drink it down. For me at least, it indeed does seem to be a tonic. Extra amounts get stored in the frig for a few days and a bit is drunk down each day. Theoretically, this tonic liquid should last a long time in the frig.
So, there you have it. Won't cost you nuthin but some effort and great for your health. Need I mention that powerful buzz word of our age: "Anti-oxidants"? LOL, go for it! (standard disclaimers apply)

Girls Climb Cliff Blindfolded
My wife is a Girl Scout Leader and they did a camping trip this last weekend. She was relating some interesting stories about the activities and I thought I would blog one here. Aside from the humorous tale of the Volunteer for making the morning coffee for all the adults (a very critical chore), who turned out to be a Jehovah Witness and never drinks, or makes, coffee, there was rock climbing.
The girls were doing so well and the artificial cliff had 3 hours paid for that they (the Leaders and Rock Climbing Teacher) were looking for more activities to keep it interesting. My wife suggested that she would like to see more team building amongst the girls. And, the Teacher came up with this for the three best climbers...
The Climber was blindfolded and then the other girls talked her up to the top. The Climber had to trust the other girls to say where a foot or hand needed to go next.
It was a huge success and fun was had by all!

Death From Above
Yes, it is tragic. After Duck Force 9 made it through the winter without any attrition (expected coyotes to hit in February), and they were roaming far and wide to free range quite well, disaster struck within a few minutes span of time.
All that was left of three ducks was one corpse from the belly up. Well, and a whole lot of feathers. Eagles are the suspects. I envision it was Mama, Papa, and Baby Eagle as two bodies were gone altogether, but the third was hacked off from midsection down (probably all the younger eagle could carry).
And, it happened fast! My wife saw them all at the pond behind their shed when she left for town. Coming back 20 minutes later she commented that there seemed to be a dead duck in the yard.
Forensics indicates that the first got it right next to the pond. The second heading towards the front of the shed (trying to get away). And, the last right in front of the shed. The remaining six were, of course, in the shed quivering in fear.
So, now we need to be careful of "Death From Above". Losing 3 ducks in a few minutes time is one thing, if it happens again and then again, there will be no more ducks!
So Duck force 9 (scratch that), uh, 6, only gets out for a brief period of time each day while there is a Guard to watch out.
First day we did this, my wife cried out an alert to an aerial predator! But, it was a hawk, and, I think, way too small to threaten a duck.
Oh well, sigh, such is country life...
