  1. Sidekickcat: Let me clarify that it blocks all ads in the browsers that I use, which are IE, Slimbrowser (IE clone) and Firefox. It probably does in others but I don't have them to prove that it does. I do not want to mislead you. The adblocker in Norton's is what attracted me to it. I checked out other firewall software's and could not find where it had an adblocker in it. Norton was the only one I found. Barb
  2. No, no it was not a waste of time. It started me thinking that I was not using adblock to it's fullest advantage, but was not sure how to use it. I don't think I would've understood how to do it, until you showed your visual first. I have seen before how to use adblock wildcard, but did not understand just how to do it, or what it meant. I actually found this on another board. I thought maybe someone else could benefit from it since it has step by step instructions for us noobies. Thanks for posting the info in the first place. Barb
  3. To add to tictoc5150 adblock instructions, here is a visual tutorial step by step how to do it. Help2go I need the dummies to go instruction. Thanks to tictoc5150, I understood the tutorial. Barb
  4. I have Norton with it's built in ad-blocker, and I do not see any ads at all. It doesn't matter which browser I use, IE or Firefox. This is on my Dell notebook. On my Dell desk top I have Pc-cillin (TrendMicro) which does not have an ad blocker, so I got Super Ad Blocker (not free) and it blocks everything. I had a bit of trouble with NIS 2005 when it first came out. It slowed my computer down almost to a halt, but Norton has corrected that, but in the mean time I tried TrendMicro. Here is a link for Super Ad Blocker if you are interested: http://www.superadblocker.com/?tag=SUPERADBLOCKER This
  5. Hi Cows. Have been wondering what happen to you. Glad to see you back. Barb
  6. Read this on Cell Phones: Cell Do Not Call Info Barb Clink on link above and scroll down until you see this: Here's the truth: A national directory will be compiled, but numbers will be included on an opt-in basis. If a cell phone subscriber does nothing, the number will not be listed. When the directory is ready, it will be available only as part of the existing 411 directory service, accessed by calling in and asking for a specific number. It will not be published in a book or on the Internet. And it will not be sold to telemarketers. Cell phone subscribers can list their numbers on the do-n

  10. Oh yeah, I remember watching them in the movies. Use to go to the movies when I was a kid every Sat and spend all day there. I brought my own lunch, sat in the first row. A group of us would go, and our parents knew where we were all day. There was a "serial" western every Sat, so we had to go to find out how the bad guys got caught. Barb

  13. DON'T CALL HOME FOR MONEY! A fifteen year-old boy came home with a Porsche and his parents began to yell and scream, "Where did you get that car???!!!" He calmly told them, "I bought it today." With what money?" demanded his parents. We know what a Porsche costs. Well," said the boy, "this one cost me fifteen dollars." So the parents began to yell even louder. "Who would sell a car like that for fifteen dollars?" They said. It was the lady up the street," said the boy. I don't know her name - they just moved in. She saw me ride past on my bike and asked me if I wanted to buy a Porsche for fif

  20. HOW TO CALL THE POLICE George Phillips of Meridian, Mississippi was going up to bed when his wife told him that he'd left the light on in the garden shed, which she could see from the bedroom window. George opened the back door to go turn off the light but saw that there were people in the shed stealing things. He phoned the police, who asked "Is someone in your house?" and he said no. Then they said that all patrols were busy, and that he should simply lock his door and an officer would be along when available. George said, "Okay,"hung up, counted to 30, and phoned the police again. "Hello,
  21. Husband and wife are waiting at the bus stop with their nine children. A blind man joins them after a few minutes. When the bus arrives they find it overloaded and only the wife and the nine kids are able to fit onto the bus. So the husband and the blind man decide to walk. After a while, the husband gets irritated by the ticking of the stick of the blind man as he taps it on the sidewalk, and says to him, "Why don't you put a piece of rubber at the end of your stick? That ticking sound is driving me crazy." The blind man replies, "If you would've put a rubber at the end of YOUR stick, we'd
