Jenny’s Web World

I was actually googling “firefox bookmarks frozen” because I can’t add or reorder any of my bookmarks in Firefox, and I desperately want to bookmark some CDs I have been listening to through my Naxos subscription. I didn’t find any useful information, but I did see a line “Firefox has been frozen by your add-on.” in the search results. Even though the site was something I’ve never heard of (MyProps.org), it didn’t have google’s warning about being a spyware site, so I clicked on it.  The article in question turned out to be just a link to another site, which turned out to be a photo gallery from the Telegraph (UK): “A tight spot: the silly animals that found themselves a bit stuck“.  Great photos!  Except the one with the six-week-old fox cub; that one was very sad. Thank goodness someone found the cub before it died.  Of course, I still can’t add bookmarks.

This month has flown right by, but not without some learning experiences.  Here are some things I learned:

• Never give Schrödie flea medicine while wearing a decent shirt; she still has back claws.

• There is a limit as to how much milk one can ingest in the span of three minutes.

• High school kids that play in pit bands are really cool.

• The Comfort Inn is not that comfortable.

• It can take 50 minutes to drive 5 miles when there is night construction on I-95.

• Always make a backup of a database table before you do anything to it.

• Agatha Christie is still a good read.

• Some vampire cable shows should never have been made.

Why do we keep picking the barkiest dogs available?  And we have a mini-schnauzer to boot.  They’re supposed to be noisy, but not annoying, the book says.

Well, let me tell you, Dot is ANNOYING.  It is 8am, and she is howling.  And barking.  And whining.  “Ruht-roooooooooooo”.  Over and over.  The kids are at the bus stop, which is in front of our house, as we live on a corner on a busy road.  They are there every day.  They sing. They talk. They laugh.  They’re real cute! But if Dot’s awake when they are there, she howls and barks. And heaven forbid Schrödinger walk by Dot’s cage during all this.  Then Dot barks louder and furiously while scratching at her cage door.

Over the weekend, one of the little girls in the neighborhood came down the street, probably looking for a playmate.  Vin was out in the garden, and Dot was out with him.  Dot heard the girl and started barking like mad. Through the fence, Vin heard the girl say “Aw, shut up Dot”.

See Dot. Even the kids think you’re annoying.
