Ugh I know how you feel, my computer was randomly NOT running audio, firewall and a few other system things. So I did a system restore and it was fixed. Next day the same thing happened and I had to restore again. A windows vista update messed it up. So I had to block those updates. But now my computer is back to normal.

Good luck!

Eta: not. Changes that completely lol

Thanks everyone, I was able to figure a way around things - and why computer was all but spinning around and spewing pea soup everywhere - so I do have a couple of entries in. Won't be too upset if I miss getting in a Basic challenge.

I'm in for Frame & FS, hoping to have a Parallel Lines entry, too.

Finally went out and bought a new mouse, problems stopped. I think there was a short in the wire of the wired one. Still don't know what the problem was with the laser mouse though.

edit to add: I'm in FS just because I didn't want to have a zero in the FS marathon, but I'm thinking it might get a 4 if I'm lucky. Haven't shot much of anything all month.

I liked this one for framed -- I framed him between the sun reflection and the tree. But both my son and my husband said "what frame?"

Oh well.

So I'm in with an over-processed, nice but dull shot. (I liked the over-processing. I'll probably get hit for it, though.)

Ooooh sorry, that might have been me. If it's the one and the same, I love the photo but I did have a question about the border.

Probably not you, it's a solid border. LOL! But I've been dq'd for borders before so I really don't use them as much for challenges anymore.

Face it, Jeb. You've lost it when it comes to sucking. WAY too many 6s all in a row and ribbons and stuff.

I say we blame

jbsmithana &

Photorico.....JB sold me the D200, and Frank sold me the 12-24.

Obviously, they are still full of their mojo! LOL!!!

And maybe blame your various mentors as well, even IF we haven't been able to get you to stop resizing BEFORE editing...

Dude.......look at the steps in about my last half dozen entries. You've had me doing that for a while.

BTW......somebody's screwing with voting patterns in the FS. I'm posting this 'cause it'll likely never happen again.....including later on in the week once this silliness straightens out.

yup. someone's playing mind games. woke up to 5.3. Went up to 6.17 (one of the votes registering as a 15 -- amazing on a scale of 1 to 10), now back below 6 with another 1.

Hopefully they're having fun. It makes life interesting, at least. I like the going up better than the going down.

Wanted to share part of a comment I got on my "garden" entry which is at a big 4.7..."is a bit fatiguing to my eye."
At least it made me smile!

ROFL! Well here's part of one of mine... "Exploitative?"
