Well, you've read the notes, the notes were Hugo-centric, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently listening to the music of MOOgo Friedhofer.

Jack, I don't know if you have some toolbar in Firefox but perhaps this information can do something for you regarding the thing that got added and you can't get rid of. It's from the New York Times. Also, I think John G. said he ended up taking his computer in to the shop to finally get rid of Text Enhancer. He couldn't do it himself.

Q&A: Removing Unwanted Firefox Add-ons
By J.D. BIERSDORFER
Q.

I installed some free software and also got an extra toolbar on my Firefox browser in the process. How can I get rid of this thing?
A.

Third-party toolbars are often bundled with certain software programs and are automatically added to your computer unless you watch closely and decline the option during the installation process. (Depending on the software, extra toolbars and other adware may just get added to your computer anyway.)

In some cases, you can remove the unwanted toolbar by going to the Firefox menu bar, choosing Tools and selecting Add-ons. On the left side of the Add-ons Manager screen, click on the Extensions icon. In the list of extensions that have been added to Firefox, click on the name of the toolbar you want to discard and click the Remove button. You may need to restart the Firefox browser to see any change.

If the toolbar defies removal, try returning to the Extensions panel and clicking on the Disable button next to its name to at least shut it down. Browser add-ons and extensions can vary widely in quality, and some can persist despite your best efforts to get rid of them the easy way. If you still cannot uninstall the toolbar, visit Mozilla’s guide for serious add-on troubleshooting in Firefox for further instructions.

Good news!  I don't have listeria!

On Sunday, my sisters came for a visit and for a treat I bought two bags of Indiana brand kettlecorn.  Well, yesterday a report came out that the company was recalling bags of their popcorn because they were contaminated with listeria bacteria.  As luck would have it, we didn't finish the popcorn and I had put the leftovers into the bag so I was able to check it out when I got home.  Thankfully, the bag size was not among the list of recalled items.  I wouldn't doubt that the company will eventually recall all product so I'm holding onto the bags just in case.  But none of us have been experiencing any of the symptoms associated with listeria, so I guess we are in the clear.

The end.

Good morning, all!

I wanted to sleep late but I have a flu shot this morning. Last year's shot made me sick for a few days - something that had never happened before - and I'm hoping that isn't the case this year.  I will return home for abit before I make a trek to the NYPL to research a few things.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Happy Birthday to Our DR DougR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Little Lulu. Little Lulu,
With frekles on her chin,
Always in and out of trouble,
But mostly alway in.

Using daddy's necktie for the tail of your kite
Using mommy's lipstick for the letters you write
Though the clock strikes seven thirty, it's really after ten,
Looks like Lulu's been repairing it again.

Though she's wild as any Zulu
And she's just as hard to tame.
Little Lulu I love you-you
Just the same the same
Little Lulu I love you-you
Just the same!

One of the advantages of writing and directing for Roger Corman is that, when you get old, you get to be a celebrity guest at horror conventions.

I will be appearing and signing books/DVDs at the Son of Monsterpalooza horror convention.

The event is being held on October 26-28 at the Burbank Marriott Hotel Convention Center, which is just across the street from the Burbank Airport.

This morning I gave a talk to some seniors who were on a field trip from their senior center. They didn't know why they were at a church until I began talking about our butterfly garden. Most of them were interested and asked lots of questions about the plants and caterpillars and the many butterflies flitting around. There was one lady who clearly thought all bugs should be killed. I guess that's what happens when your outing is a surprise.

Great story, Laura. I can just see their faces.

I once covered a murder mystery dinner theater, except the hotel manager forgot to tell the seniors that that was they were experiencing. When the murder occurred, I thought several of the people were going to have a stroke. Not a nice surprise.

Today’s topic of discussion: It's Ask BK Day, the day in which you get to ask me or any dear reader any old question you like and we get to give any old answer we like. So, let’s have loads of lovely questions and loads of lovely answers and loads of lovely postings, shall we, as I hit the road to dreamland, where my dreams will be accompanied by the music of Hugo Friedhofer.

The event is being held on October 26-28 at the Burbank Marriott Hotel Convention Center, which is just across the street from the Burbank Airport. 

If you live in the Los Angeles area and have time and are in the neighborhood, please stop by and say "Hello,".

Holy MOOley -- I'll be right there in the hotel.  I'm leaving first thing Saturday the 27th and I think Friday night is booked, but surely the "Hello" can be made to happen somehow.

I had a flu shot last week and had no reaction. In fact, I didn't even feel it.

Did you have one of those smaller needles? I've seen advertising and promotion for them since the Flu Shot season is upon us.

I didn't look. I never do.

;D

I wouldn't know.  It didn't hurt as much after the shot than it normally does.  I was startled during the shot as it felt like he wiggled it.

This morning I gave a talk to some seniors who were on a field trip from their senior center. They didn't know why they were at a church until I began talking about our butterfly garden. Most of them were interested and asked lots of questions about the plants and caterpillars and the many butterflies flitting around. There was one lady who clearly thought all bugs should be killed. I guess that's what happens when your outing is a surprise.

Odd they didn't know why.  They seemed alert enough.

And I am home from the library. I just called to make an appointment to see my doctor for this malaise I am suffering, and her first free appointment is 16 days from now! This strikes me as completely ridiculous,  and I wasquite vocal about it. So the receptonist said she would contact the doctor and see what can be done. We'll see how this goes down.



Good luck getting an earlier appointment.  I hope you are still reaction free from the shot.

Otherwise...

It was another good day of rehearsal, our second. Our "Higgins", Benedict Campbell, joined us today - he's still finishing up his obligations up at The Shaw Festival over the next week and a half. -And it turns out that Benedict's father, Douglas, was a protégé of Sir Tyrone Guthtrie, and was an Artistic Director of The Guthrie Theater.

It has been a busy day & I still have things to do. 

This morning my hiking group went to Mt. Ashland on Echo & Sherlock's trail.   I let them get ahead of me and sat on their rock.  Since it was my first time up after leaving Sherlock there I had a bit of a cry. That's ok and expected.  It will get better with time & it felt so very good to sit on the rock & imagine them playing together in the fields below me.

One of the advantages of writing and directing for Roger Corman is that, when you get old, you get to be a celebrity guest at horror conventions.

I will be appearing and signing books/DVDs at the Son of Monsterpalooza horror convention.

The event is being held on October 26-28 at the Burbank Marriott Hotel Convention Center, which is just across the street from the Burbank Airport.

I paid $30 and got the shot. Didn't go through the insurance at all. Last year I got a call TEN MONTHS after the flu shot from a collection agency because my insurance didn't cover the shot at Walgreens. Now I just pay cash and I'm done with it.

I could use some vibes and prayers for my cat sitter, Sharon.   She has somehow contracted a flesh eating bacteria and is in critical condition in the hospital.   This has all happened very quickly.  Her family had to make the decision to amputate her arm to save her life.  She is still hanging on but it isn't a sure thing she will survive.   It's very sad and very shocking to us all.

I'm not exactly clear on that.  I'm hearing that it came from infection in a cut she had.  She works a lot with horses and in the barn etc. One of our mutual friends is a doctor and she thinks she probably somehow contracted at the stables.  It also seems you have to have lowered immunity.  I think she is a diabetic which could impact her immune system

Back from the Richard Sherman event at the Paley Center.  Had a great meal first, then walked for about two miles up and down the streets of Beverly Hills, about which more later, and then attended the evening, which was fun.
