The Cellar - What's mildly irritating you today?

Thanks! :) Gaines continues his nightly yowl, but I dont' let him out until about 9:30.

Today, as I was replying to a thread, I felt all the blood go from my head and was 2 seconds away from passing out. I'm not a fainter. I have a friend whose whole family faints all the time. I said that Fainting Goat video was her family reunion. But I never faint. I almost did...got real warm feeling, couldn't focus. Then I got a ringing in my ears and now I am shaky.

What the hell is wrong with me? I feel fine otherwise.

You're in love. Congratulations! Will you tell us who, or shall we guess?

I feel like crap today. I stayed home. I slept until 12:45. I lost my reading glasses.

Oh yeah, and I had to change my home page from CNN to MSN because CNN is lousy with American Express pop-up ads all of a sudden.

That is all. :(

We now return you to your regularly scheduled jocularity and all-around happiness. ;)

I've been thinking about changing browsers. Is it hard to do for a non-techie such as me? Do you then delete explorer?

IE just upgraded with some neat features. Of course, I've only ever used IE so they may still be behind firefox?

It could be some piece of crud your computer picked up, rather than something CNN is sending. If you see an uptick in popups in general, that's probably the cause.

I've really only noticed the AmEx pop-ups at CNN. Is there a way to block those individually?

Well, start with Firefox if you aren't using it already. We'll go from there.

I am now coming to you LIVE from Firefox, which, incidentally, blocked the pop-up. :)
