Lucy on XM

autumnluv143The commercials on Lucy on XM Radio crack me up. Just now an announcer came on and said "Lucy. Just so you don't think we're too alternative, we play Creed *enter Creed bit*. And in the future, we'll probably play Nickelback too."
***Edit: The last one: "Lucy. Just like Fred, but without the speech impediment." I don't care who ya are, that's funny right thar.
I heard one awhile back that said something like Lucy. So you can really re-experience all those old high school memories. I'm paraphrasing, but funny stuff. Subtle, but funny. Don't ask me why I'm so amused by this, written down it doesn't look funny, I guess you'd have to hear the lounge announcer guy who's saying it....
Rambling...tired...blah blah blah blah...
Yesterday, I tried to work on my Aunt's computer. Oi. She has a habit, I think, of going through her settings and randomly clicking stuff when something isn't working right. I told her never to do that again. The current problem she's having is that he tried to burn the professional version of Office 2000 on her XP system when she already had an expired trial version of 2003 on there. It kept bringing up an error message about not finding (a specific file name that I can't remember and will enter when I get to work). Because of that, we couldn't upload 1 version or get rid of the other version.
On top of that, some part of this whole process with Office caused the Google Toolbar to wipe out her internet connection. I went into add-ons and disabled it and webpages now come up, but no secured sites. Whatever is blocking is blocking any secure page at all. She can't log into her webmail and I tried logging into anything that had a log-in page and it wouldn't. So we restored back to last week except that we couldn't finish restoring because of that missing .cmd file. We both finally got frustrated enough that we gave up and I left. But I was over there for 2.5 hours trying to figure it out. Ugh.

I've had issues with it in the past, but its been so long and I've stayed away from it since, so its taken me a while to remember what the cure had been.
Hopefully this proves usefull.
