And the word of the day is: BLANDISH!
Sounds like a creepy phone call, Larry.
I wonder - When they say there's spyware on your camera, does that mean someone's watching you or just seeing what sites you visit?
Good morning, all! Last night I took a Tylenol with codeine and slept very pleasantly and for quite a long time. Ut was nice.
Today, I need to call my Mac man set up an appointment. I think that several weeks ago I opened an attachment that I should not have. Late yesterday afternoon, a person with an accent called and asked for Mr Moore. When I tld him that I was he, the man asked me all these questions: was I aware spyware had been put on my camera? did I know people had access to all the sites I sent on? And I asked him, "And you know this because . . .?
He hung up. Now I'm very paranoid, so I'm calling my Mac Mechanix.
I'm a bit surprised about needing anything on a Mac other than their usual security updates.
I have been watching a lot of THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW.
I Think it is my favorite show of all time!
DR Jane - I have had tech issues with HHW in the past, but not today.
I had a similar problem when I was still at work today. I knew that I was leaving soon and figured that the problem would sort itself out eventually, so I didn't mention it. Glad it's all better...for me, at least. I hope Jane's computer is okay.
And a happy birthday to the late ozderek.
Saturday morning greetings!
The housemates are coming, the housemates are coming!
Have any DR"S read these and do they have any recommendations for me?
And the word of the day is: BLANDISH!
DR elmore I am extremely pleased you finally slept well.
VIBES YOU ARE NOT BEING WATCHED!!!!
Hi DR Jane,Major Pettigrew's Last Stand by Helen Simonson-I loved this
No, I don't believe that I have joined Goodreads.
Yes I also really like LOVING FRANK, so far.
What books do you recommend?
My oven is screwed up. Still. The pilot light refuses to work, and I need to track down the super. It worked while the repairman was here, so I'm assuming the problems is me and not the oven's pilot light.

Larry and I both seem to be caught in the REPAIRED-BUT-STILL-NOT-FIXED vortex. I am reminded that repairpersons should test appliances before they leave and be sure that said appliances work for the tenants, not just the repairpersons. In the case of "my" plumber, I'm always anxious to see the back of him. When he says, "I KNOW it's fixed" I tend to cave because I'm not eager to fight with him. But I KNOW he's a jerk and not necessarily correct.

Join the party, everyone! Come one, come all! I'm taking the car back to the dealer next week because one of the three things they "fixed" last time isn't fixed at all. (Disclaimer: They do have a perfect 12-year track record with me prior to this, so...)
On a happier note, I recently discovered the BBC series DEATH IN PARADISE. Quite fun. A lighthearted crime series with a very uptight British detective living on a very relaaxxxxed Caribbean island.

New season has a new British detective. We prefer the old one.
bank from the soup kitchen. I think I am going to try and convince Vixdad to take me out for icecream
Mary Linda arrived about 10:30 with a carload and Allie (cat). Rob followed about 90 minutes later in the U-haul truck with 3 helpers (2 paid, 1 volunteer friend). Everything was unloaded by 1:30 and we had lunch from The Jug. The helpers left, Rob went to return the truck and pick up some odds & ends from the apartment, and Mary Linda went to buy ababykitty gate for the top of the stairs.
Anti Virus Vibes for Elmore

I haven't been to The jug since about 1977 or so when one of my nephews or nieces worked there for the summer.
DR Jane,
Thanks for the Recommends!!!!
Although I've never been one to put bones down garbage disposals, I've known many people who do so regularly with no problems. I usually purchase medium-grade disposals for my homes. They last 10-15 years and I have little or no problems. I've been in this apartment for four years. This is the second time the disposal has been replaced. Both kitchen and bathroom faucets have been replaced and started looking old and worn in less than a year. I believe it's because they buy the cheapest items available. There may have been a time when you could do that, but today so much is coming from China and much of it is poor quality. False economy, IMO.

Glad the anti-virus process was so simple, Larry.
In my reading, i am currently stuck in England in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. I'm running through Anne Perry's Charlotte and Thomas Pitt mysteries, and I'm up to the tenth or so, Bethlehem Road. I like the recurring characters a lot, especially Charlotte's sister Emily and her great-aunt Vespasia.
For my bus reading, I've got Georgiana and I am currently in thrall with Longbourn, which is a spin on Pride and Prejudice from the viewpoint of the servants, Hill, Mrs. Hill, Polly, Sarah, and James, the Downstairs to Austen's Upstairs. It's much grubbier and grittier than Austen.
I love these book benches all around London.

I like the idea. However, I would not want to actually eat watermelon mixed with Swedish fish. :)
And on even better news, my replacement for the senior citizen Metrocard I lost on July 4 arrived in today's post with a shipment of CDs from Amazon.co.uk. What fun!

My eBook library has many Anne Perry books. I put a hold on the first one in the Pitt series, "The Cater Street Hangman"
Why do you have a different book for the bus? The only thing I can imagine is one book is heavier than the other-lol
And a happy birthday to the late ozderek.

Elmore I am glad the virus resolution was so swift Vixdad recommends a reboot and a second scan

I was surprised how many there are.
Are you allergic to the cat?
Is this gate large enough?

We may have to install a door at the top of the stairs, which would also require installing a second window fan. The whole-house fan is now in Rob and Mary Linda's living room and closing that door would prevent any air circulation downstairs.

I doubt it. Allie could probably get between the bars.

Vixdad put in a pocket door on our upstairs entrance to the stairs to keep little Vixter from tumbling down the stairs
Are you allergic to the cat?
Oh, yeah, big time!

While very clever of him, that would still be solid and have to be kept closed most of the time.

if the hope is to keep cats hair and dander from Ginny's lungs that may be a necessity

Rob is also allergic to cats but swears that he has developed a tolerance for this particular cat. Mary Linda does bathe her in something that seems to help.
the title of today's notes continuously brings back memories of the day before a certain test
Vixmom, are y'all driving in tomorrow or taking the train? I'm driving. FYI, there's a garage down the block from the Metropolitan Room.
