It was actually a setting in the software I accidentally changed...

That damn spider scared the heck out of me.......Yikes!!!

10 years ago I was camped at Medicine Lake in far NE CA...We went for a bike ride and spotted a tree....This is a real tree- and recently confirmed as still there (Thank gosh!)

The spider doesn't bother me. Knowing where it came from does.

I like the background, but my computer doesn't.

Scrolling, or moving the cursor is "jerky". Also makes the cursor leave "trails".
To be fair, my computer is about two days older than baseball, so I can't complain too much.

'Ya know, you just had a Halloween thread about spoofing Jane with spiders. Seems like I had three witty questions.


Let's see, ....

Where did you get the spiders (no answer needed) ?

Is the payback a biatch ?

The third one might come back to me. I do remember being curious if Cliff's spider decor placed evil ideas in your head.

I don't remember what year when it happened, it was for sure a few beers ago, someone told me they put a ?tarantula? above the sun visor. It sounded humorous to me, until, I thought seriously that it might cause a car accident, in unknown to me conditions, perhaps a heart attack, you know, unintended consequences.

However, since you have already toughened Jane up, placing one above the passenger sun visor would up your game.

Thanks Cliff.

My home PC is ancient as well (although it was a powerhouse HP workstation in its day), running Win7, and I have no trouble viewing this site with the Halloween theme using Google Chrome.

However...

If I try and view the site using Firefox, this is what pops up within a minute or so...

For some reason, (from a long ago post I think)I thought I remembered the PFF spider file or app being named "Spider from Mars".......

My ever evolving halloween decorations are about done, tho I did have to bring some inside the garage during a storm last night.

From this:


to this:


The tall slim bush you see on the far right of the flowerbed and just above the wooden spider is actually 2 Jalapeno plants. I get 4-5 peppers a week off them, as long as I keep the green horn worms off. They'll eat every leaf off in a single night. They've done so twice this year but the plants keep coming back and producing more foliage and peppers.

Painting that old clay flower pot was a real pita since I'm not allowed to lift anything or bend over much but it came out ok.



Lighting is on a timer so it seems to work hands free a few hours each night.
