Large Trees

Here's a joke on aging that I got from Martha yesterday, hilarious:



We were in a restaurant on the weekend talking to the waitress.  She mentioned they had a large tree in their backyard which was destroyed by the recent ice storm.  Fortunately there was no other damage to houses, etc. They got quotes to have it removed.  I couldn't believe they wanted between $2900 to $3500 to do the job.  Her neighbour had 2 such trees, obviously very large trees.

A few weeks ago, I had clicked on this screen urging me to update my java software as it was out of date.   Being an organized type that way, I succumbed to malware called 'conduit'.  I was getting annoying pop-up ads everywhere.  Husband M helped me to clear it from my computer system but something was left  in the computer registry.   Everytime I would start up my computer I would get a Run DLL error message saying 'background container wasn't found'.  Then magically, a few days ago, the message disappeared.  We figured we must've run CCleaner (our PC optimization and cleaning software) again and it found it this time.   It's great when problems fix themselves!  Now I carefully avoid these suspicious pop-up messages.  They look quite real and will copy the actual company's logo perfectly.
