If you didn't install the crap it was trying to sell you, you are probably ok... even without the restore.
I didn't install it, didn't accept the offer to buy it...so I think I will be okay. Just need to do a system restore to an earlier date or let the IT do some sort of scan to debug anything that may be affected. I just hate telling our IT because I was using it for facebook, and let Nathan install an Avatar-Airbender game on it (not part of 'school use', is it? )...I am sure I am not the only one to use it for personal stuff but I was going to uninstall all that stuff before back to school time!
Oh, and miracles DO happen! I took a load of stuff from the garage over to storage. Then texted Dan in friendly manner, per counselor's suggestion: "Hey, trying to do all out assault on garage and basement before school starts up again. I know you are going to Canada this week but after that feel free to come over and get anything you want to keep."
He replied back immediately, "I was planning to get my tools while you guys are gone to Chicago." He proceeded to stop by, again a surprise visit, a few minutes later to kiss kids goodbye on the way to the airport. I pointed out a few more things to him ("I kept your grandma's antique table in the basement here, didn't want to risk it in storage but make sure you don't forget it", etc) and he said he understood, I would want car in garage so it doesn't get hailed on, iced on, etc. So small steps, yay!
Now, back to cleaning out toy room with kids in preparation for yard sale...
Speaking of yard sales, my daughter used operate a little crafts stand outside of our house on the sidewalk. She'd make fuzzy creatures, pine cone people etc to sell to passers by, when there wasn't any business she'd cartwheel down the sidewalk. I remember saying to her "you really love making this stuff don't you" and she replied "I love making money" She was about 8 then. Little did she know that Mom and Dad were drumming up sales by calling friends and neighbours. Finally, after a series of poor street sales she began selling fuzzy creatures to school mates to put in their school projects at 25 cents each. So BBJ, if business is slow at your yard sale do the cartwheels, it could be a big draw on your street!
I will have to remember that, wii. The kids ran a lemonade/brownie sale last year during my yard sale. The proceeds were going toward buying mosquito nets for World Vision kids in malaria-stricken countries. People could not believe the kids were being selfless so they ponied up good $ for lemonade!
Unfortunately, this year they will be camping with Dan. Good in a way, they won't see their things being sold and try to save them, or pester me to go inside when I have to be out manning the sale. But bad bc they wanted to have their stand. It works a lot better in conjunction with my sale then just the lemonade alone!
Last year I made $200, two years ago at my sisters I made $250. When you are selling baby/toddler/young kid clothing, people seem to want it! However I already sold my bigger dollar things (car seat/base, high chair, bouncy seat, etc etc) so this time lots of clothes, toys, and some household stuff.
Time to purge the past and move on, feeling lighter!
Ok peeps time to help me out here. Weigh in on this please...
So as we were saying on somebody's thread (I think wii) that FB can be dangerous...a high school acquaintance friend requested me. I had to think about who he was then remembered he was a freshman wrestler when I was a senior (and wrestling cheerleader)...so I approved the friend request.
He immediately emailed asking how I was, what I was up to, was I married, kids, etc. The specific 'are you married' kind of piqued my curiousity/concern. However I looked up his profile and he is married so I figured, no biggie he is just catching up.
Well I replied talking about me and kids and where I am now (back home!) and that I am recently divorced. THIS is part of his reply back to me...
I will be coming back for Kathy's (sister) wedding in Sept. I will be there during homecoming it has been a long time since I have been home for homecoming. You know you and the kids should come out to Washington some time I have lots of room in our house and I would love to see ya and show you around. Maybe when we come back in Sept. we could get together then. Are you up for that?So most days I work a 14 to 16 hour day then I come home and play with Ethan. Then work on fixing up our house. I am sorry to hear about your divorce he doesn't know what he is missing you are a great people and any guy would be lucky to have you. I'll be your man :-) well I better get the kid to bed send me an email with your number I would love to talk with you on the phone. My email is
Am I wrong to think this is a bit inappropriate? I double checked his profile he is definitely married. I noticed he used "I" for everything, no mention of wife anywhere. There was some random chitchat stuff I left out but the part I shared here sounds like he is looking for something. What do you guys think? (btw I have not replied)
I have an urge to copy the email and send it to his wife. But maybe that is evil?
No, don't send it to the wife. Just ask him...something like, "I'm confused. Your profile says you are married, but you talk like you are single. what's up with that?" You could go on, or just leave it there.
)...I am sure I am not the only one to use it for personal stuff but I was going to uninstall all that stuff before back to school time!
