click stream = compuserve?

I was trying to install Flash Player, but the installer kept telling me I had "CompuServe" running, and needed to close it. I do not have CompuServe loaded. Nor running. Nor AOL. Huh?

One of the wunnerful ladies over on the NFP board asked to see a screenshot of my task manager (the processes tab, since the applications tab was empty). When I did that, I remarked, in case she'd ask, that the "cs" showing on the process list was click stream, not compuserve. On a whim, though, I decided to close out that process (I'd been meaning to uninstall that anyhow). Lo and behold, Flash Player installed.

So apparently anything that says "cs" = CompuServe. Heh.

(Off to uninstall that clickstream thing anyways. And yes, it was something I did intentionally install.)

It's been a while!

Went a while without posts between the two Pilgrim's Pride posts! I was out-of-town visiting my folks, who loved the chance to see the kiddos.

Anyhow, I'm back, and finally caught up on email and on the other blogs and boards I read. Whee!

Pilgrim's Pride - followup

I received the coupon for the free one dozen eggs in the mail yesterday - as well as a small promotional egg-based cookbook, and an additional coupon (inside an informational brochure) for $1.00 off.

Thanks! :)

Pilgrim's Pride - good job!

Just a quick way-to-go for Pilgrim's Pride, whom I emailed this morning regarding a dozen eggs. Less than an hour and a half later, I got a phone call from them. They wanted to let me know that they'd be sending a coupon for a new dozen eggs, but also asked for clarification on what was wrong (because it *was* weird - the eggshells had shriveled like fingers in bath water).

At any rate, the *fast* response and attempts to make it right are all appreciated. Nice work folks. :)

I was tagged by Sara.

1. I like staying up late to catch up on laundry. It's the perfect quiet time just for me as the loads run. (It was even better when I had a laptop, LOL) Hate putting laundry away, though. Especially (particularly) stuff that has to be hung up.

2. I must sleep with covers. I may kick them off once I fall asleep, but no matter how hot it is, I must have a sheet or something. (Incidentally, I used to do the foot-outside thing too, Sara!)

3. I have never read any Jane Austen, nor the Brontes. I have no desire whatsoever to do so, either.

4. I didn't see Mary Poppins until this year. Ditto the movie of The Sound of Music.

5. I learned hospital corners from an actual hospital orderly! :D (He was cute, too, as I recall from some fifteen or twenty years ago)

6. While I know some folks wanna get home ASAP, I kinda like my "mini-vacation" in the hospital postpartum. They have cable, they bring me food, and I only have to worry about the newborn - not laundry or cooking or the other kiddo.

Tagging: Ceosanna, Tvini, Sashera, Sleen, Kate, and Stephanie (if she hasn't already been tagged).
