AVG & iTunes

July 26th, 2009 No comments

Friday night I was working on my computer when all of a sudden AVG (antivirus) flagged my iTunes directory as having a virus. OMG! NOT my iTunes! After much trouble shooting to find the culprit I finally realized that it was AVG and NOT my iTunes. It seems that the new update will flag iTunes as having a virus but it really doesn’t. What’s the cure? Simple, update your AVG database real quick and the issue should go away. Wheww that was a close one… I think… Yay antivirus updates???

July 3rd, 2009 2 comments

Last weekend Teri and I had a scavenger hunt, she was looking for RED items and I was looking for YELLOW items. As we found these items we would take a picture of them with our phones, and at then emailed them to each other. I talked a lot of trash and in the end she kicked my ass… Anyways, moving on… We thought it would be fun to get the family involved. So here we go…

Checkbook

June 26th, 2009 No comments

If you’re like me then you will understand when I say, I HATE CHECK REGISTERS!!! I mean I just hate them! It’s not that they are complicated or any of that crap, it’s just that I can get all my info via online banking (well, most of it anyhow). However, as I get older I begin to realize more and more how important it is to know exactly where your checking account is at all times.
