Thank you! I didn't really think about the demise of the group very much and hadn't checked into NS for the last several weeks. Apparently poof it was gone? I was able to find a back way into the discussion boards on NS and found RogerToo's post. Thank you RogerToo! Thanks to whoever created this group too (RogerToo? too?
)
and for Sonya keeping the spreadsheet. I hope anyone who wants to find us will.0 -
Btw, Dancingwaters user name is already taken so I created this new one. I seem to spend a lot of time between the Pacific Northwest and San Diego.....where our first son, DIL and first grandchild reside. Here he is.....

Linda Kay, we had some intense storms and winds last night. I understand we were under Tornado Watch until 5 am, but neighboring parishes (counties) were under Tornado Warning. I was awake until at least 2 am listening to the radio.
Ah, thanks for sharing the update from MFP. Just that they got your email and responded...
RogerToo, go figure indeed. I think a financial credit would be easier and less costly, but oh well. What do I know?
Rhonda, I'm glad to see you found us. Oh, and what a sweet pic of Raylan! I love his birthdate too! How does it feel to be a grandma? What do you want your first grandbaby to call you?

Hi
I'm glad You found us. I suspect that the old forums will be going away in the near future. Even in read only mode it is being helpful. If there is anything there You want to save, now is the time to do it.
Have a Good Day

Hi Sonya
It has been a bad period of weather out to the south and west of me form what the TV news reports are saying. Hard to believe we are in a moderate drought.
NutriSystem IMO could have left the forums open, Went to a advertising supported model with a advert free pay option such as this site uses to make money. Opened up the tracking tools to all and been a large success, But nope, they pulled out the gun and shot themselves in the foot instead.
Have a Great Day

Sonya - Thanks for all your hard work on the SS!!
Catherine - Love the graphic for reminding us to think if it's really worth it before we eat the cookies or pizza! I'm thinking I need to post it on my fridge
RogerToo - Sounds like you've been just as busy in the yard too
Rhonda - Your grandson is adorable!
Jen - We will certainly miss you but hope you'll be back for the next challenge.
Linda Kay - Tomatillos in the garden sound awesome! I didn't even think about planting any of those, but there's always next year
For the second time in a row when I go to the MFP page I've been hit with the dire popup warning of death and destruction and today it had a very loud buzzing with it. I had to use the task manager to shut down my browser. It's gotten to the point that I only click to get straight to this group, post, and then get out of MFP as quick as possible. I've heard other people have had problems with MFP but not recently on this thread. Anyone else had any issues?

Hi Rhonda—congratulations on being new grammy! Beautiful boy.
Kim, I haven’t had any issues but I installed adblockerplus a few months ago.
I did read about others having some issues.

Sunshine today so we’re off to the store for yogurt. I was outside last night and about got ran over by a herd of 4 deer. They were fine with me being there and only got spooked when the neighbor let his yapping dog out. So much for enjoying a beautiful evening with Mother Nature.
Have a great day!

Kim,
I haven't had any trouble on this site but when I got home from work last night I got the dreaded "the US Treasury is suing you so call this number before they come and arrest you." Another scam. Wonder how many people bit into that one.0 -

Hi Kim
I run FireFox with NoScript installed and do not see that problems, nor do I see adverts.
I have seen posts where they are working on blocking that problem.
What is happening is that some bad Banners are getting in. I suspect that they use a service that provides the banners and pays MFP. And that service is missing a few bad apples.
Why not install FireFox and NoScript and have the benefit of spell check in messages too.
An Adblocker will block that problem, as would going with the Premium version of MFP. I'm just to cheap to pay $50 a year when I can do more or less the same thing with FireFox.
Cheers

A huge +1 from me, RogerToo. SMH...I don't know why they made the decisions they did, but rarely is the IT dept involved in the financial decisions of a company. A big mistake IMO.
Kim, awww, thanks! Not much work really. 
I've not had issues with pop-ups on death and destruction, but I imagine it's just a fear-inducing ad. If you don't click here NOW your PC will spontaneously COMBUST! That kind of stuff irks me. I usually just close the pop-up, block future pop-ups, make sure my PC is up-to-date on security features, and move right along.
Catherine, thanks to Kim for reminding me, but I LOVED the graphic you posted. I saved it to my photobucket and need to imprint it upon my life. ((hugs)) I got your PM, just haven't replied yet, but I've known you for years...shocked by the decision that was made by the refugee admin.
Linda Kay, I'm glad the deer didn't get you!
RogerToo (part 2), love your detailed tips to Kim. You take the fear out of the situation and make it all sound so nice and tidy. I know others have left here because of those ads, but they weren't (ugh, this is going to sound not nice of me) very computer savvy and somewhat panicky in nature, so I didn't try to convince them to stay (they were firmly set on leaving anyway).
********
I'm watching the child of my Indian missionary friends so I'm missing my nap.
LOL. Oh well, perk up and power on! I WILL make it without a nap!

I just opened the spreadsheet and then dragged a shortcut to the desktop next to the shortcut of the group.

Ad Blocker Plus is the best invention ever! Its available for Chrome and Firefox. I haven't seen an ad on my computer in years. And yes, the people who were getting malware were not computer savvy; they were clicking on those ads. One lady on the NS Refugee forum actually got scammed, lost over $100, and who knows what else she's going to lose if they put malware on her computer.
DON'T CLICK ON ADS...EVER!!! If you see one that interests you, go to the website directly. Sometimes, those ads don't link to the actual business; they link to fake sites made to look like the real ones.

Thank you for all the advice on the ads. I never click on ads and hardly ever on links lol. Even when I get emails that are likely legitimate, I still go straight to the website. I'm just that paranoid

Good Morning to All
We had a Loud Thunderstorm roll through last evening. Later when the rain had stopped My Brother & I were out walking and the route I had planned to use was closed due to a tree that fell onto the power lines. Oh well maybe today for that route. I try and choose a different route through the neighborhood each day.
On the plus side I do not have to water today
Have a Great Day All

Hi Cindy
Well said, Bravo! Great advice. I would rather lose out on a what looks like a great deal than get get some Ransomeware that encrypts all my data, pictures, Music, video etc. The later versions are pretty much unrecoverable from if You do not pay the ransom.
Backup, backup, backup! Also keep in mind that a backup on a external drive that is powered and attached to the computer will be encrypted too. Not to mention that external drives wear out too. Keep Important things on several devices. I worked for years doing repairs where a significant portion of the business was working on getting back important data on a computer that was not backed up.
Have a Good Day
