It's not <em>that serious</em>, in that it's serious enough for her to be in hospital overnight, but unserious enough that she may be home today. We hope. If not home, they should at least be taking her drip out...<br /><br />* trying to not appear as worried as she is, and failing miserably *<br /><br />Anyway, blog awards will resume tomorrow and you can, of course, still vote in the two categories that are up so far - <a href="http://miss-s-b.dreamwidth.org/1084000.html">pollyticks</a> and <a href="http://miss-s-b.dreamwidth.org/1084559.html">fandom</a>.<br /><br />In other news: <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/richard-adams-blog/2010/aug/04/proposition-8-gay-marriage-california">YAY district judge Vaughn Walker</a>, BOOO <a href="http://liberalburblings.co.uk/2010/08/government-show-how-easy-it-is-to-cheese-off-9500-keen-people/">coalition government</a>, and <a href="http://toomuchtosayformyself.com/2010/08/04/it-is-not-words-that-matter-it-is-action/">DOUBLE BOOO Theresa May</a>.<br /><br /><hr /><br /><center>This blog is proudly sponsored by <a href="http://voterspeaks.wordpress.com/"><img align="middle" src="http://pics.livejournal.com/miss_s_b/pic/000ww0d8.png"></img></a><br /><br /><a href="http://miss-s-b.dreamwidth.org/1085343.html" title="view original entry with dark colour scheme"><img src="http://pics.livejournal.com/miss_s_b/pic/000wrb5k.png"></img></a> <a href="http://miss-s-b.dreamwidth.org/1085343.html?s2id=144198" title="view original entry with pale colour scheme"><img src="http://pics.livejournal.com/miss_s_b/pic/000wskpa.png"></img></a> <a href="http://www.dreamwidth.org/update.bml?subject=Found on Jennie Rigg&#39;s Blog&amp;event=Look at this interesting thing! http://miss-s-b.dreamwidth.org/1085343.html" title="Share on Dreamwidth"><img src="http://s.dreamwidth.org/img/comm_staff.png" alt="Dreamwidth" /></a> <a href="http://www.livejournal.com/update.bml?subject=Found on Jennie Rigg&#39;s Blog&amp;event=Look at this interesting thing! http://miss-s-b.dreamwidth.org/1085343.html" title="Share on Livejournal"><img src="http://www.livejournal.com/img/pencil.gif" alt="Livejournal" /></a> <a href="http://www.blogger.com/blog_this.pyra?t=Found on Jennie Rigg&#39;s Blog&amp;u=http://miss-s-b.dreamwidth.org/1085343.html&amp;n=Look at this interesting thing!" title="Share on Blogger"><img src="http://www.blogger.com/favicon.ico" alt="Blogger" /></a> <a href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http://miss-s-b.dreamwidth.org/1085343.html" title="Share on Facebook"><img src="http://www.facebook.com/favicon.ico" alt="Facebook" /></a> <a href="http://twitter.com/home?status=Found on @miss_s_b &#39;s blog&amp;s=http://miss-s-b.dreamwidth.org/1085343.html" title="Share on Twitter"><img src="http://twitter.com/favicon.ico" alt="Tweet this" /></a> <a href="http://del.icio.us/post?url=http://miss-s-b.dreamwidth.org/1085343.html&amp;title=Found on Jennie Rigg&#39;s Blog" title="Share on Delicious"><img src="http://static.delicious.com/favicon.ico" alt="Delicious" /></a> <a href="http://flattr.com/thing/36933/Jennie-Riggs-Blog"><img alt="Flattr this" src="http://pics.livejournal.com/miss_s_b/pic/000wxfgh.jpg" title="Flattr this" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://libdig.co.uk/add.php?u=http://miss-s-b.dreamwidth.org/1085343.html&amp;t=Jennie Rigg" title="LibDig This!"><img src="http://libdig.co.uk/templates/libdig/images/favicon.png" alt="LibDig" /></a> <a href="http://bit.ly/?v=3&amp;u=http://miss-s-b.dreamwidth.org/1085343.html Found on Jennie Rigg&#39;s Blog" title="Share with Bit.Ly"><img src="http://bit.ly/favicon.ico" alt="Bit/ly" /></a> <a href="http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?url=http://miss-s-b.dreamwidth.org/1085343.html&amp;title=Jennie Rigg&#39;s Blog" title="StumbleUpon This!"><img src="http://www.stumbleupon.com/favicon.ico" alt="StumbleUpon" /></a> <a href="http://miss-s-b.dreamwidth.org/data/rss" title="subscribe to Jennie Rigg&#39;s blog by RSS"><img src="http://pics.livejournal.com/miss_s_b/pic/000wtsee.png"></img></a> <a href="http://miss-s-b.dreamwidth.org/data/atom" title="subscribe to Jennie Rigg&#39;s blog by atom"><img src="http://pics.livejournal.com/miss_s_b/pic/000wqecx"></img></a></center><br /><br /><img src="http://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=miss_s_b&ditemid=1085343" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments http://miss-s-b.dreamwidth.org/1085343.html mother blogging tired public 11 http://miss-s-b.dreamwidth.org/1054662.html Tue, 11 May 2010 15:03:25 GMT http://miss-s-b.dreamwidth.org/1054662.html My mum is having a weird firefox problem. It crashes when she tries to look at a shopping basket on any internet shopping site. It totally shuts itself down and you get the "firefox has encountered a problem" thing. Two virus checkers have found no threats, and my instinct is it's something she's done to the security settings. The problem is that mum is not the most computer literate person in the world, and trying to get her to describe the problem was difficult enough; trying to get her to tell me if she's clicked a security option will be impossible...<br /><br />I have checked everything I can think of, and Mat can't think of anything. Have any of you lot got any ideas?<br /><br /><img src="http://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=miss_s_b&ditemid=1054662" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments http://miss-s-b.dreamwidth.org/1054662.html computers mother frustrated public 20
