Technically, this guy is only mostly right. The malware wasn't ON the AD web site. It came through AD. Google doesn't put malware on the site. The people who actually own the site (the hosting service), and/or the people who administer the site can unknowingly allow malware, or place malware...

My wife was rear-ended in Milwaukee. She called the police. They refused to come, so there was no traffic report. Our insurance agent (State Farm) did right by us, but they pushed us for an accident report that didn't exist. I was really (still am, I guess) pissed the police wouldn't come...

:-( kinda sad to read these. I've lived my whole life with my hearing loss, so it isn't obvious knowing what I have missed out on. The older I get, the more things I realized I probably missed. One of the things I find most challenging is deciding to grapple with the parts of what someone...

Shimo, your ears give you the capacity (or not) to hear, but listening is a purely cognitive thing. The full experience of being HoH (physiologically) and/or Deaf (culturally) cannot be emulated any more than the experience of being blind or mute. You can physiologically deactivate the...

Why do they live there?

+1 for being totally practical. :lol:

Hopefully and presumably, the wife beaters and rapists are the exception to the rule and consequently rare. I also think it depends on the job. Jobs that have fewer eligibility requirements tend to attract people with worse work and criminal records simply because those are the jobs that they...

Derek - That was really nice of you to take the time to help that lady with her email. I bet you saved her a lot of frustration and gave her something that will make her life more convenient! Nice job. Be warned that the newest 'smart' phones won't work with an eraser or blunt object...

You do realize you're talking to an engineer? :rofl:

Not sure how it shows up on iPhone, but in the desktop version, there is a link with the word 'Like' as a label. It shows up when you hover the mouse over the post. In my browser, it shows up simply as the word 'Like' with an underline signifying it is a hyperlink. It kind of 'floats' over the...

Now I have to check out an Estonia in person! I prefer a semi-weighted keyboard to a fully weighted one most of the time, but the sound from a good harp.. oh! I need to ask dogmom - who has a much more protective sense of privacy than me - if I could post pictures of our house. We have a...

There is a gelato store (Golosi Gelato) in Oconomowoc, WI - USA owned and operated by a lady from Italy whose father made gelato in Italy for a living. She makes a gelato with JD in it! If you like ice cream, you'll love gelato. If you like JD and ice cream, you'll love gelato with JD in it!

Thanks. The thing is, I have no idea how a person learns a human (not computer) language! I only ever learned one, and I have no recollection of how that went! I will say that I was in college before I learned what a 'participle' is. I believe that to be a failure of the school system I...

Some hearing aids can do a decent job of blocking out background noise. These tend to be the more expensive digital ones, but you also have to work with the environment. If you have hearing aids with a 'background noise' or 'forward focus' setting, try to get the person you want to speak with...

Wow! The MEDS!! Welcome, and good luck getting that CI tweaked. It's not for everyone, but you seem to have an attitude that will help you adapt. Namely, patience.
