I've never used their search feature (which is now gone, apparently).  I do a Google search.  For instance, I'll type "ispot toaster strudel".  The one I want is usually in the Google results.  But if not, I click onto any of them, and then click on "products" next to the video.  That takes me to a page with all the Pillsbury Toaster Strudel commercials.

I am having more problems with the local postal service.
There have been at least 3 times in the last month that out going mail was not picked up.
WTF? Did your car break down? Did you have a sick day?
 
I spoke of the ahole who denied my card when I was buying stamps.
 
Today, I go to the mailbox and 3 pieces of important mail are in the gutter. (on the ground)
It's warm here, the gutter is wet.
I thought I should dry this stuff out before I open it, I should call somebody.
I wish they had an e-mail address, this is bullpuckey!

^  Email the snailmail office??  Hell, they shouldn't even have any email addresses.  They should pretend email doesn't even exist.
 
You should write them a letter.

It's called the PO for a reason...  LOL
 
Stuff like that usually happens when another person subs for the regular deliverer, as they aren't familiar with the route.  But dropping your mail into the gutter is uncalled for...

So, for the second time in 5 days I went to the grocery store, no Dingo chew sticks!
 
I'm about to send a nasty e-mail and the dog is pissed too!
I buy the other small bone treats with a ribbon of flavor, that just doesn't cut it.
She has a cujo side, you wouldn't like her when she is angry.

I had to talk to customer service about my travel card, today.
I was under a bit of a 'time restriction' as I had other appointments.
Had to hurry the representative and was promptly advised the following:
 
"..relax and wait a second, Sir...your life is just not that important..."
 
When I finish getting all un-depressed and quit crying, I'm gonna get that biatch fired, doncha know...

I managed to find a chew stick at the local grocery store that the dog can tolerate for a couple more days. Whew!
 
She was just over here with her latest demands. 
She sits back on her hind end while I rub her chest.
OK girl, let's see what you need. I check her food and water.
Then she goes to the garage door. "I want to go out,   dammit!"
 
She was just barking back in the bedroom, the first snowmobile of the season.
The river is not safe, I don't hope he dies.

We have those too!
 
Right after I sent mail from Experion to the spam box, this thing started to perform like a steaming pile of sh*t.
 
Completely worthless, every page would show a 'recover webpage'.
 
It almost happened again, just now. It has to do with my preferred Google search.
I read somewhere that Microsoft is going to start forcing people to upgrade their browser.
 
I tried to do a 'system recovery', I gave it more than an hour and it just got stuck.
I did a disk scan, which actually shows it's progress, it locked up too.
 
If I can get away from my Yahoo home page it seems to work OK.
What a PITA!
 
When I shut down later today, I will start the disk scan again. ConfusedAngry

SNOW!

Had to shovel it today. Pain in the ass to do it, but once it's done its a big relief!

A commercial came on for Cheap O Air came on. Hated it, that's almost as bad as putting "Mart" at end of your name to evoke cheapness.

Clean out your browser cache & non-essential cookies before doing that.  You'd be surprised at how much space they take up (especially if you haven't done it in a while...)

I have figured out that the problem here is directly related to my old Windows 7 IE.

I downloaded Mozilla months ago but I haven't really been using it.

Once I switched over to it, everything works fine.
But I have lost my list of favorite places.

OS X did this crap after Steve died and they went from big cats to mountain names.. You used to be able to clear your cache with the click of a mouse, but now you have to go into the now hidden library folder and delete it manually.

Unless, of course, you want to use the oh-so-handy and brilliantly-conceived new function of "clear history" which not only clears your history, but your cache, cookies, saved logins... everything.

Fun if you like trying to remember passwords to sites you only get on once or twice a year.

At least you can still go into prefs and remove selected cookies, but the option doesn't appear the first time you open prefs. You have to close prefs and open it again.

I miss Steve. Cry

You're just reaping the fruit of your rewards for putting your faith in Jobs' 'art & architecture of dreamland'-operating system.
My opinion, even though nobody asked: Jobs was an idiot, maybe idiot savant, and probably a Democrat. He didn't build anything for the business world, just 'Toys for Tots' which, when we see an opportunity for long-term capital gain (like, maybe the likes of the iPhone), we'll 'build a bridge' into our world of real/adult computers. The holders of the toys then get to risk their privacy and wealth as they use 'Apple Pay'.
Thanks.
We like appreciate access to your money.

What?  A calculator?  Counting on your fingers & toes is too good for you?  Wink 
 
Quote Cityfolks Guide to Hillbilly Culture
Remember y'all, a 'pocket calculator' to a hillbilly is a hand in a pocket (and them thars a fancy hillbilly that has pockets on his clothes.)  If'n the hillbilly wants to count to 10, he'll need 2 pockets, or one large one to put both hands in.  And counting toes requires even larger pockets and leads to all kinds of mental & physical contortioning (seriously!), especially if a digit or few is missing.  ("Three Thumbs" Murphy was quite adept at pocket calculatin'.)

WinkBig smileHeck, you should've been born 'poor white trash' like me, but I'm not sure I'd ever want to go back to those days. We were so poor that XMAS would see me getting pants with holes in the pockets so I would always have something to play with. Cold, snowy days were the worst for the toys, doncha know...

Whoever wrote that guide is obviously ignorant to the fact that most hillbillies are inbred and born with various birth defects... such as odd numbers of fingers and toes... making base ten math impossible with the hole-in-pocket method. So... pocket calculator. Hole-in-pocket makes those a chore too, as you usually have to fish them out of the cuff of your boot.

Hole in pocket does, however, make your guzintas a little easier.

I've had more than my fair share of poor days, and while I wouldn't change any of the things that helped create the amazing person I am today, I wouldn't want to do a lot of them over either. We were so poor that it was my 6th Christmas before I got anything to play with through the hole in my pocket, and even that was used.

Thank God for people like CaitBruceThang for donating unwanted body parts.

Hmm, your mentioning Toys For Tots just made me think of a name for CaitBruceThang's charity; Boys With Twats.

We are just winding down here with full tummies.
 
I get a call from some Medic Alert company.
 
The first sign," if you are 65 or older? " I'm only 57.
I tell them that I am on the 'no call list'.
 
I tell her "f*ck you very much" for the sales tactics.

I'm getting something similar on MSN home page. All other web pages work fine. Microsoft is really pushing Windows 10. I suspect these annoyances being MS created and installed hostage ware. The official MS fix will be switching to Windows 10. AngryAngryAngryAngryAngry

I stopped getting robo calls as soon as I got rid of my AT&T land line and started using Magic Jack.

I pay about 1/10th of what I used to pay for telephone service and that is not even including the FREE long distance!!!

Not a bad deal at all.
