S'okay, Karuuna, you weren't the first, and you won't be the last, LOL! I thought the cheeky grin clipart would show I was teasing, but maybe a wink, or the joker one, would have worked better
I propose a toast to Joker's everywhere, and resign myself to living mostly in the basement for the next couple of weeks!

The clothing thing was usually done as America's Choice- when we decided what type of clothes they needed (swimwear, etc). I don't like America's Choice much- I prefer them working for what they get. It makes them appreciate it more (well, you would hope so anyway).

Clio - I guess you are right. My kitty spent half his life under the covers of my bed. He never slept anywhere unless he was 'safe'. (Occasionally he made an exception for a good sunspot) Total friady cat! LOL

Aw, Beruthial, no need to hide in the basement. Walk toward the light, LOL.

And maybe you should come up with your own little disclaimer, like others have done, something like:

Note: the above was intended as a joke. The writer makes no warranties as to whether other posters actually get the joke. Now have a bellini. Or two or three.

Hey, that's good, Karuuna! Perfect for me, since mine often fail to amuse, but I can't seem to stop trying...
[PS. May I use that, or have you claimed the copyright, LOL! I'll have it ready for next time!]

Beruthiel, I wrote it for you, it's all yours!

And while I'm here I want to complain that I've had West Nile for about ten days now and I'm tired of being sick.

Aw, thanks, Karuuna! And sorry you're poorly, what a drag We've been warned that it has reached our province this summer, so now we're supposed to take all the precautions, so I can understand how you must feel.
Take care of yourself, and thank you for the Disclaimer!

This comlaint is trivial compared to Kar's

Again- I waited all day to turn on the feed and was treated to Robert yelled loudly- several times- to Justin that the dryer had stopped.

I need to complain that the CBS Fantasy League points were all wrong!

It really irritates me that the make this big deal about "Houseguests, It's time to get up for the day" and they get up for about FIVE minutes and then all go back to bed.....They need to give these people something to do. Chores. Dancing all night. Riding a bike for 1000 miles or SOMETHING.

Hey speaking about the fantasy points..maybe that's the twist.... Jee isn't HOH any more it's being given to the second place HG to avoid the "throwing of competitions" and each time a different number will when, like say for veto the third place HG wins, only the HG don't know which it will be...

I need to complain that some idiot has the worm virus and my address is in their mailbox. I now get a bogus email every ten minutes with the worm attached. This has been going on since Wednesday. 50 emails so far!

Yuck Hobbs. Is it possible to block that person's emails- until their computer is no longer infected. Scary. Thankfully it sounds like you are protected- but you never know if it can eventually find its way in.

Hobbs

No. the return email addresses are spoofed. That means that the virus on that person's computer sends the virus out using addresses that are also in that person's address book. I'm even getting messages from servers saying I sent an undeliverable message. So he's sending messages that people think are coming from me! Uggh.

Oh- that explains a virus a got years ago. It did not necessarily come from the address but from someone who had that address in their book.

For example: I got an email from Jennifer Jones- and was thrilled because I had not talked to her in a long while. The attachment (which I thought nothing of opening- because I did indeed know Jennifer Jones) appeared to be something that came from her mother's documents. So could the mother's computer pull Jennifer's address and begin sending the virus?

My virus protection did catch it- but stupid me cliked OK out of habit. I had never seen a worm. NEVER AGAIN. Thankfully we were able to reformat the computer and all was well.

Hobbs, that's the newest version of the SoBig virus that was released on Tuesday. A lot of folks are getting those bounced messages. I assume you have virus protection/scanning on your computer to make sure you are not also infected?

The SoBig virus can pull Email addresses from anyone's address book, and use those stolen addresses as return addresses when it sends the virus to new Email addresses. There really is nothing you can do about it, once your address has been taken. :(

I'm protected. I'm just sick of being told of incoming mail. I use to get excited by mail, now I cringe. I sent an email to all the addresses that I had received the virus from asking them if they can figure out who has this virus by all of these names to tell that person to turn off their machine. It didn't seem to work. I'm up to 60 emails now!

I can empathize with you Hobbs. A friends computer was plagued by a virus which sent the same email to me over 250 times. The orginal email was an invitation to a party so I was pleased, but by the time I had recieved the same invitation 250 times, it wasn't such a thrill any longer.
