Gone and back

Mar 26, 2010 22:20

A couple of wonderful people on my f-list noticed that I had deleted my LJ for about a day on Thursday. While I was mostly keeping myself from posting due to various issues, the reason for deleting my LJ was because one of my PCs got nailed with a nasty rootkit/trojan/virus trifecta through my own stupidity.

Wow.. I hadn't noticed your brief absence, and I wish I had.

Sorry about that mess you had to clean up!

What I do with pop ups ( One appeared when I opened your LJ) is ignore them.

Sometimes if they get nasty, I restart my computer.

Glad you are back!

Don't worry about posting "Emo stuff."

I post every week or two about how much I miss George, my cats, or something!

Sometimes, I'm afraid of saying something VERY stupid in a post on LJ.

Such are the days of our lives.

My LJ is not supposed to host any ads or pop-ups, being that it's a perm account. Either you have something exacerbating the ads hosted onm your PC, or LJ has gone back on their word regarding ads. Arrgh.

Don't worry about saying anything stupid on LJ. I've done it many times. Some people practically make a career of it. And they are still fun to read.

Thank you, again.

The Pop - up was one of thingies at the top of
the page when I opened your journal -
it said something like, " Windows wants you to
add a flash update to view this page. properly."

I don't think it was at all malicious, but I
ignored it just to be safe.

I'm glad you're back. And I'm sorry about the computer mess, and the unmentionable personal stuff. *hug*

I am glad you're still here! And I love your emo stuff. It makes me feel more comfortable about posting mine! I still owe you gratitude for your comment on my post about Kevin. Please stick around, and please share your feelings. And your car and tool stories!

I should take a page from your book and spill some of my guts on occasions. I just need to push through my own mental blocks I guess. I've done it before, and found it quite cathartic.

*hugs*
