I am about to buy this tee shirt.
I am getting tired of fixing puters with so much malware/adware/spyware & viruses, it is easier to rebuild the box from scratch. I did one the other day that took 12 minutes just to boot. Then by the time I got into the control panel it crashed. Ugh.

oh man, andy. most phone calls that i have to respond to start with, "my computer is broken".
when asked to be more descriptive, they follow with," it doesn't work."
often, i then have to ask what computer are they talking about, and what's it doing or not doing.
it's like pulling teeth.

i have to say, dee, that i've used that phrase. you can't always have nice conversations, and sometimes you need to say something unpleasant but wish to convey that it's meant for good intentions, albeit ugly.

I have one worse than that.
"Jay, it said there was a virus so I ckicked "OK" to start scanning."

What should we do instead, when we see a message that we have a virus?

Basically, alot of those popups are getting pretty authentic looking. Once you click "ok", you just opened Pandoras Box. When in doubt, do what BT said and run your own antivirus software.

LOL, joe. I've never heard that one.
Mostly, the irritating things parents say, like:
Because I'm your Mother, & I said so.
Do I look like I'm made of money!
I'll tell you when you're older.
And teachers...
When a kid made a face - Your face is going to freeze like that.

My mother's was "cut off your nose to spite your face".
My grandmother's I can't spell and was in Hungarian. The poor translation of it is something like "your mother's breasts". She would say this every time my brother or I pissed her off. She gave me the translation when I was about 17 years old. The words are burned into my brain to this day, about the only Hungarian phrase I ever heard her use even when she spoke to her mother. Her mother came her from Hungary and insisted on speaking English only.

You are right, BUT.....
or
I agree, BUT.....
That BUT totally negates whatever came before it, and is REALLY
just a nice sounding way to say "YOU ARE WRONG".

I never heard that until Coco and her friends came to visit. Apparently, you are right, everything is epic.

"very unique".
Unique is one-of-a-kind. There is no very one-of-a-kind.

I may step on some toes here, but I am really annoyed by "to die for." Really? I guess I am a little sensitive because we just lost a dear friend, but when one of my dinner guests last night said that my lemon sour cream bundt cake was "to die for" it just rubbed me the wrong way.

it's not just you, karen. your family or your country are to die for; the rest is just food.
