I hate Fricken windows. It decides to just go ahead and shut me down and update any damned time it pleases... Then I'll try to start the computer and have to sit and wait while it does updates. I just got a blue screen of death and an apology that my system has encountered an error and it's collecting information to send off and will be back shortly. They keep making the crap more complex, and charging more for it, and it's just one screw up after another as they try to "fix" the previous screw ups.

Sometimes I just want to scream... Can't afford to shoot the damned machine.

OK, rant done... Now, does anyone here happen to know how to shut off updates completely? Used to be able to but that's no longer an obvious option.

So latestarter.....tell us how you REALLY feel about Windows.

I feel your pain. Which is why I run Ubuntu on my desktop.DH had it on his computer also until he had programs that he wanted to run that required Windows.

I've learned a lot of new swear words since he got that new computer.

So there is one faction that is saying that Roundup causes cancers. Then there is another faction that says no it doesn't......I'm SOOOOOOOO confused which is nothing new. I know I'm not seeing any of the 'law office' commercials for it any longer but.

I remember back in the 1980s my parents bought a house that was infested with roaches. Mom went to a hardware store to buy a house spray and discovered that it was banned. She finally had to hire Orkin to come and debug the house and asked the technician about the spray and was told that it had been pulled from the market due to toxicity. Her response was 'but it worked!' the tech agreed. He said it worked danged well but was really messing people up.

Maybe that is why I keep getting the urge to scratch behind my ear with my foot.......

Then there is finding jeans that can accommodate a tail.....

I often have that problem.

I just chant to myself that I don't have the money to replace it.

Updates are frustrating! Windows 10 has a setting in updates to pick when it updates. You can delay updates but it is a very bad idea to not update. If you don't update the hackers can get your computer easier. Identity theft is not fun!

Has nothing to do with anything, but a humorous TV Blooper at 23:23

For those that don't want to chase it down, quick synopsis:
Deputy is tied to a chair, gets over to the hot wood cooking stove gets the door open and burns through the rope with the hot door. A bit later a fight ensues (because this is a Western after all and Deputy Craig gets to fight in EVERY episode) and while we will ignore the multiple "no burns" contacts with the "hot" stove it is hard to not notice that when the stove pipe is knocked off the stove, the wall where it would exit is very solid

Love those old westerns.
