Things that piss you off?

I'm assuming gas costs around $3.36 per gallon or thereabouts in your part of the world?
It was over $3, but I'm not sure by how much. The mom-wagon (Chrysler Pacifica) has a 23-gallon tank.
 
we haven't gotten up that high around here yet (mid 2.80's presently) but i'm expecting to be well over 3 by mid-summer. :(

We're still talking about gas prices, right? ;)
 
What pisses me off is how slow these boards have become. This place used to move along at a decent pace. Now I see snails passing us by....

It has indeed changed a lot. The group of regulars is considerably smaller and we have a lot of new HT-ers.

PTM, consider trying either firefox or opera as an alternative: no pop-ups. :>

Hi ed!!!

Oh, I do use firefox but, I am still getting IE pop ups on the random occasion. Should I just delete IE from my computer? *not sure if that would create any problems or solve this one*

Hope you are doing well and keep that trout handy, that time of year you know? ;)

don't delete IE... it's the only way (at least as far as i know) that you can d/l stuff from the MS site (office and windows updates particularly).

edit to add: i use IE regularly and don't have a pop-up problem. i'm not sure if that's an IE7 thing or because i have the blocker on my isp software as well. in any case, if you're set up properly and still getting popups maybe try running an ad-aware scan or something like that to make sure you don't have any nasties.
 
hiya, PTM! :>

as EJ said, never delete IE--windows will get really cranky and ill-tempered if you do that. it often seems that MS apps live the credo "all for one and one for all".

been doing OK, work's been pissing me the hell off but hey, what can you do? :>

o yeah...

I was askered to delete it so I didn't. I do run spysweeper several times a week... any other advice? Most of the time it is one or two pop ups over several hours but the other day they just kept popping up! I had 20 in less than a minute and had to do a hard shut down.

Yes, I hear you about work and can relate. The good news is I get out of school on June 6th! :nana: When is your closest form of a vacation? Sometimes, it just helps to seperate from the job. I've taken some personal days because I've been sooooo irked with mine. :eek:

*note to self: do NOT delete IE*

Thanks guys!
