Holy crap, it almost happened again!

A couple of weeks ago I told y’all about an issue I had with my Firefox browser (see post), when it had a nervous breakdown, corrupted my desktop and I spent hours jumping through hoops to figure out how to trash and reload the software. Believe it or not, I just went through almost the same thing all over again! I was writing a Howdygram post — same as before — and all of a sudden the window freaked out in little fragments, went black and then KABLOOEY. This time I was able to do a normal shutdown, though, and Firefox relaunched.

I just sent a feedback message to the customer service gods at Blogspot.com so they’ll understand what happens when I’m using Firefox and writing a post with their “new and improved” interface ... which I seriously don’t like and wish I didn’t have to use. Please stay tuned for their earth-shaking response.

Sam and I have had a very quiet, very lazy weekend that mostly consisted of napping, eating and watching a couple of excellent movies ... The Browning Version with Michael Redgrave and Captain Blood with Errol Flynn. Earlier in the day we slept through Easy Living with Lucille Ball and Victor Mature. I have a hunch we didn’t really miss much, however.
Tomorrow is “Cyber Monday,” when all the geniuses who skipped Black Friday are expected to pull out their credit cards and shop online. This is actually an anti-climactic event for yours truly because I shop online 365 days a year. Take it from me ... if you’re not buying toilet paper, discount gefilte fish, inkjet cartridges and insulin needles from Amazon.com, you don’t know what you’re missing!

Thank you for reading this.
